    just got this Bose Speaker and I love it ! Every sound is clear and crisp from every angle. You can stand it up, put it on its side and lay it down. The sound is fire every way. It's water and dust proof which is really helpful around kids and the battery lasts for a long long time. Last time I used it yesterday the battery lasted more than 12 hours. Very impressive ! It's small enough to fit in your hand or bike if you're biking around. Super lightweight and durable making it perfect for travel, outdoor adventures, or pool parties. It's small but packs a big punch :-) Both my wife and I used it when we were working out and had it connected to both our phones at the same time so we can both play our jams. Works flawlessly ! I look forward to using and enjoying for a long long time. Very happy with this Bose speaker !

    Great sound with deep bass and incredible sound clarity. Easy connection, amazing design, good battery life. The only thing I would like to see them improve is the app, it doesn't have many customization features. Highly recommended.

    I bought this solely to use with my tablet whenever I'm chillin in the kitchen or outside. This speaker definitely packs a punch. Very loud, clear. The mids are dense and crisp. The bass is heavy, but doesn't drown out the sound. Bose has definitely made a name for themselves. But this speaker outlives the hype of any other brand I've ever used for audio. It pairs to both my phone and tablet seamlessly without any effort. And the app is very nice too for adjusting the sound quality.

    Bose, But Take It Anywhere

    The Soundlink Flex II is another quality product in Bose’s lineup. It’s built well with a silicone cover that’s durable, but also soft to the touch and easy to clean. Buttons are well protected and provide nice, tactile feedback with every input. Battery life is good and it charges quickly via USB C. Bose provided a USB C to USB C cable in the box, but no charging brick. Sound quality is good, but generally even across all genres. Seems to be best at ensuring clear vocals. The Bose app does give you some customizability by allowing you to play with EQ settings. The app also allows you to quickly change device connections, customize the speaker’s shortcut button, and access software updates. Since getting my speaker, I’ve taken it out on the boat and been using it while working on my project car. This single speaker got plenty loud while we were boating. It survived multiple hours in direct sunlight, being tossed around while under way, and being thrown in and out of the water. A full day of use went through about 40% battery at fluctuating volumes. I’m contemplating purchasing a second one and making mounts for them to rest in. We’ll see. The other day I had my speaker with me while I was repainting body panels on my car. Paint and dust makes its way onto just about everything while doing this. I was extremely impressed by how easy it was to clean this speaker off. One disinfecting wipe did it and it looks good as new. All in all, I am very happy with the Bose Soundlink Flex II. I feel like it’s a good value for a name brand, durable, and portable speaker. As long as it’s the right size for your needs, I’d absolutely recommend it.

    Big Sound, Small Speaker

    I’ve been using the Bose Soundlink Flex II for a little while now, and honestly, it’s quickly become my go-to portable speaker. Right out of the box, the setup was super easy – it connected to my iPhone in seconds, and I was ready to play my music. For such a small speaker, the sound is amazing! It’s got this rich, deep bass that you wouldn’t expect from something so compact. Whether I’m listening to music or catching up on podcasts, everything sounds crisp and clear. Plus, if you really want to step it up, the Bose app lets you link two of these speakers together for an even bigger sound. Perfect for a small gathering or an outdoor hangout at the park. Speaking of outdoors, this thing is built with that in mind. It’s both water- and dust-proof, so I don’t have to worry about it getting wet by the pool or dusty when I take it camping. It’s tough and portable, but still stylish enough to leave out in the living room. All in all, the Bose Soundlink Flex II is a quality speaker with serious punch for its size. If you’re looking for a portable speaker that delivers big on sound and durability, this one’s a winner.

    Nice portable speaker!

    Specs This is a very durable and portable speaker made by Bose, who really know their audio items. The size is right around 2” x 8” x 3.5”, yet it still produces the best sound across the board of any speaker I own. There are several different modes it can go into, including party and stereo modes, where you can connect two of them at once for a better surround sound by achieving both left and right channels. The battery life is quite long at 12 hours and charges easily with a USB-C cord. Bose also has an app that can be downloaded to control the speaker and tweak the sound. Pros Talk about durability! I don’t worry about it too much packed up with my gear because it’s water- and dust-resistant. The small size keeps it portable in most situations and wireless Bluetooth connectivity makes it easy to control. The app has very user-friendly controls but it’s not necessary to use the speaker. Cons 12 hour battery life is decent, but it takes up to four hours to charge it completely. For someone who usually forgets to plug in their electronics to begin with, this can be a problem. Although it’s durable, I’d also like a carrying case to prevent unnecessary scratches and whatnot from potentially rough traveling conditions. Conclusion You can’t beat this sound for this price through Bose; this is an affordable option for those who are sick of the tinny sound portable speakers usually carry. You’ll get clear and powerful sound through any genre of music!

    This thing packs so much punch in a small size. It shows its limits at really high volumes but it does get loud. At moderate and lower volumes it sounds better than anything else you can get for this size and price. The fact that it’s extremely portable and durable makes it even better! It’s a great speaker to clip on your bag while hiking and to take camping. Battery life is good as long as you don’t blast it at full volume.

    This speaker sounds great. Nice bass. Live that it has an equalizer to make adjustments to sound. This small speaker performs to the high standard fie which Bose is known. I love the portability. This speaker may not be for everyone, but it is perfect for my use. I use it in my craft room. I use it when sitting outside. I recently used it for a trunk or treat event. I also love the color options.

    Great sound and typical Bose quality, easy to charge and love the choice of colors! Bought one for each of the grandkids for Christmas and every one of them is happy with their Bose! I would recommend buying a case to keep it protected.
