I picked rave because its got 105db sound, 2 woofers, 2 tweeters, and a bass port.

I like high powered speakers and that’s why I choose Rave (A3391).
I also like their appearance.

[matthew2ndson]

I vote the Rave Neo. It’s the smallest and therefore the most portable, it’s also got the coolest lights in my opinion. i’m pretty sure it actually has the deepest bass of them all (it really hits low tones in songs) it is also possible to make the speaker play incredibly loud using the custom EQ. Louder than the 80W speakers listed here.

Since I’m 3/100ths of the way to Linus status… I’d vote up the rave neo partycast to augment the flare 2s

[James315]

I just put together a basic graphic of their dimensions compared (minus the Rave PartyCast, since I couldn’t find it).

For me, I think the Rave PartyCast takes the cake. The Rave Neo takes a close second. The PartyCast feature is a must-have for me. But I’ll take the extra 30W

[ktkundy]

While I don’t have any personally I’ve always liked the rave neo.
You could also have a party with 100 flare speakers paired together

[supersmacker1234]

That would be cool, but I wonder how realistic that would be? That would be thousands of dollars.

[Ram97]

Rave, 105dB and the only real party king here. Good balance with woofers & tweeters plus bass port. Plus largest battery capacity makes it a no-brainer for me.

[Pantera43]

Can ya compare the rave to other speakers? I’m currently looking at the rave… jbl 310 and aiwa exos 9 but ima soundcore junkie and like the 200 price tag more than 300 or 500 wish I knew how the rave sounded with rock or country music and lastly is it compatible with soundcore app for eq etc???

[Pantera43]

And lastly I’ve noticed the rave has been sold out for months… does anyone know why that is???

[James315]

All those Soundcore speakers are compatible with the Soundcore app, which makes many of their features flourish.

Their prices are crazy to me. Keep goin back to this past winter when I got their jbl extreme 2 on sale for 149. The soundcore motion plus and the motion boom smoke that speaker for sound and that speaker along with their extreme 3 now retail for 349… its just goofy and lookin at those prices reminds me a big reason I love soundcore so much is not just cuz their products are phenomenal but because their prices are as well!!!
