The Two Speakers In Full
Bumpboxx Flare8 Pro: $499.00 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Bumpboxx Flare 8 (rated 2.6/5).
Pros: Doubles the original Flare 8 to 400W and two 8” woofers with dual tweeters in a retro boombox cabinet with an LED display and light up logo. Two wireless microphones come in the box, alongside a guitar input and a wired mic input for karaoke or live use. Plays from Bluetooth, USB and SD cards, has line in and line out, pairs with a second unit for stereo, and includes a carrying strap and remote. Rated for 10+ hours on its rechargeable battery.
Cons: No independent measurements or tested reviews have been published, so its tonal balance, bass extension and real output can’t be compared with ranked speakers. At about 19 pounds (8.6kg) it is a heavy carry. Bumpboxx doesn’t publish a water resistance rating, frequency response or Bluetooth codec support for it, and there is no app.

Bumpboxx Flare 8: $400 Discontinued Bumpboxx eBay
Newer model: the Bumpboxx Flare8 Pro. It’s likely to perform similarly, though we can’t confirm that yet.
Pros: A retro-styled, 8.6kg party speaker with useful real-world features: IPX6 splash resistance, FM radio, USB and microSD playback, aux input, TWS pairing and a claimed 118dB maximum output. It can play much louder than compact Bluetooth speakers and is easy to aim at a small outdoor gathering.
Cons: Bass is thuddy rather than deep or controlled, and there is no app to improve the tuning. Owner reports also raise reliability concerns, including noisy or intermittent volume controls and sound cutting out at high volume. It is a fun-looking niche product, not a sound-quality or durability leader. Discontinued.
