FCC Soundcore A3167 / A3167V / A3167J - Flare Mini variants

Just to be clear. Your Flare Mini when Bluetooth connected in the app doesn’t connect?

Have you tried the usual we’d recommend if something doesn’t work of reboot, clear cache, uninstall/reinstall?

If what you say is correct then they’ve added app support for the future unreleased undocumented version of Flare Mini. At time of writing you don’t have the old Flare Mini as the new Flare Mini isn’t out nor announced.

Yea tried everything and my LA2P connects fine so not an issue there

You made that update with an old mini?
I never would dare!

I just updated the app. There is no way of updating Flare Mini from what I know

Not looking good. I’d like someone else to test this before I’m thinking my worst fear when I started this thread is true - two identical looking Flare Mini with different features.

Requires official reply with information to spot the difference so consumers know. It’s the same product code and same name so a consumer is going to struggle to know the difference.

The FCC posting shows 3 variants of Flare Mini, the A3167 (same code and name as older version) and two others A3167V and A3167J. I’m less concerned with those other two as different product code so easier to spot difference.

Product not released so we have time to get the future Amazon listing very clear for consumers.

There’s a potential way consumers can spot new Vs old A3167 Flare Mini.

The original model FCC said BT 5 but the Amazon listing said 4.2 and so does the manual. I think probably the FCC was in error.

The newer model FCC says BT 5 but I think it’s actually going to be BT 5 as 4.2 is now 2 years older than when original shipped.

So I’d expect the newer version to mention app support and BT 5.

So I think buyers of the newer model will be able to side by side tell the difference in future Amazon listings, so the only risk is a consumer who doesn’t look, sees mention of newer model and without scrutiny assumes incorrectly when they bought the original they thought they got the newer to then find features like the app don’t work.

In the new update Flare Mini was dropped so maybe it wasn’t meant to be there anyway?

Timing was off - too soon from FCC.

A roadmap would be nice.

Are you on app beta? Production is still May 12th 2.6.8

I got an update from App Store yesterday and now I don’t see Liberty Neo 2 anymore :joy:. My version shows 2.6.9 in the app

Wonder how the q35 will differ from the life tune pro they even look similar to the life tune Xr

yea i couldn’t find anything about Tune Pro at all. Tried searching around and was nowhere to be found

The A3027 Q35 FCC listing had also the A3030 - said to be identical. That is probably the offline version. If you’re wondering why online and offline versions, one theory is it helps stores get around price matching, the Q35 can be discounted but the in-store identical version under a different name doesn’t have to match the price as its a “different product”.

I don’t know what the A3030 is called. You’d be able to spot it due to LDAC as its the only one which has. Agree the Life Tune Pro looks identical to Q35 just from screenshot.

I remain puzzled what is the benefit to anyone of yet another “what’s the difference between …?”.

Does anyone here think it’s a good thing to have so many Soundcore products so similar?

I suggest with the current poor documentation it is bad as it adds confusion, but if Soundcore did a decent table of differences so someone could read across what is critical for them, and then make an informed decision, then it’s less bad?

Yea based on how things are currently, I would rather like less products that were clearly distinct. If they launch a successor (say a year later), I would rather have them name it like {name} + # and # being 1-9 or whatever if that makes sense

:rofl: I guess we should get ready for potential Liberty air 2 variants that was coming in a year give or take before you know it.

"Which mini do you have… oh the mini with the auto pause when you pick up the device… Ok… that will not sync with the mini variant with LDAC nor the min with the cell phone connection… but it will connect to the mini mini due to that has partycast . LOL.

(remember this is only a pun. Only a pun…)

Well I wonder if they swap staff between Soundcore and Eufy so the speaker starts playing someone else’s music?
