Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Bose portable speaker is one of the best portable speaker I ever had . It’s so easy to use, just connect to your Bluetooth device and listen to your favorite music on the go while caring this compact speaker every where you go I even clip it to my backpack. The crystal sound and deep bass of this speaker is amazing just like I was expecting from a Bose product. The battery life last me all day while I care it to the beach without the need of charging it until I’ve got home. This Bose speaker is also dust, waterproof and one cool thing about this speaker, it also floats if you ever drop it in the water, you can also connect another Bose sound link flex speaker with the press of the shortcut on the device to make a stereo sound effect. The speaker can be lay flat, stand up or just hang it anywhere and with the Bose app you can adjust the sound the best way you like for an amazing sound. On the top of the speaker you get the power button, Bluetooth connection button, shortcut to connect more speakers, the play/ pause button and the up- down volume, it also have a built in mic that let you take calls. Using the Bose app helps you monitor the battery life, adjust EQ sounds, adjust volume or change shortcuts to the speaker.

It is honestly astonishing how big the sound is coming out of this compact gem. I don't know what engineering voodoo Bose is using, but their speakers blow everyone else away in terms of audio balance. There's bass, but it's never overpowering. There's treble and it's never tinny. If I want to hear a song played well, this is how I play it. The fact that it's so small and lightweight (and water resistant!) means I can pick it up and go anywhere in the house, or throw it in a suitcase. And for the price, you can't go wrong.

I wasn't totally vlown away with the Bose SounLink Flex portable speakers compared to others I have or have heard. Out of the box it's a solid well built product. Has a usb-c port which is nice and comes with a usb to usb-c cord in case you dont have one. The silicone wrapped body feels good in the hand and seals it up tight to be dust proof and water proof, it floats very well in the pool. The built in loop is a good touch, I can see many uses down the road for that. Be sure to download the bose app to be able ro adjust the sound settings, makes a big difference. At first impression I would have dropped a couple stars but I went ahead and purchase a second one to see if two paired together really made a difference and it really did. As one speaker, it's not my favorite, but paired and in stereo they sound amazing. I probably would have dropped to four stars without knowing the potential. There seems to be a passive subwoofer in the rear of the speaker, so setting it against something solid gets better bass notes out of the speaker. All in all, its just all right alone. Phone calls were seamless with zero complaints, all genres of music sounded about the same. If you can swing two then go for it, if not then look elsewhere.

The new Bose Soundlink Flex 2 is Bose through and through. The build quality is the equal of the Bose reputation. And the sound quality? Equally impressive. I have owned a number of Bose products since purchasing a pair of their 901 Direct/Reflecting speakers in the mid-80s. Since then I have owned several of their remarkable headphones (currently on the first Gen of their QC45!) a pair of their excellent AM-5 speakers (with stands) and over the years I have given as presents to friends and family, several models of Bose headphones and Bluetooth speakers. The Flex looks and sounds like a Bose should. "Bespoke" is a term that has come into favor recently for use in reviews most often typed in "dulcet tones of reverence". The Flex 2 deserves better praise through prose, if you will. As I said, it is undoubtedly a Bose product. First off, it looks like a Bose and as you would expect from Bose, it PLAYS like a Bose. During my testing the battery lasted on average just over 10.5 hours of constant use. The volume was set at an acceptable "I-am-sitting-right-next-to-it level". The same volume level worked perfectly across a 10' X 15' room. I played it as loud as I could personally take it and there was no shortage of music without annoying distortion brought on by shoddy construction! I then moved to the largest anechoic chamber in my home. That would be our backyard and here (hear?!) the Flex 2 continued to amaze rather than amuse with its excellent reproduction of the soundtrack of my life. Even acoustic Jazz with relatively deep bass was done well by this small speaker! The range of reception for the Flex 2 in my testing was for up to 40 or so feet (approx.) from its playback source. Using my iPhone as the source resulted in the best reception as my 3 Digital Audio Players are all several years old and as such their Bluetooth versions are far earlier and not nearly as stable at longer distances as the iPhone 14. It should be noted that this is NOT the "fault" of the Bose Soundlink Flex 2 but rather the limits of earlier Bluetooth transmit variants. Still, the signal was received and decoded with nary a real problem and that is something to consider in the real world in which we all live. The Bose Soundlink Flex 2 delivers your music with ease. I am retired now and as such spend a great deal of my days listening to music and the Flex 2 worked great with either my iPhone 14 or any one of my 3 Digital Audio Players! What more could one ask of a modern Bluetooth Speaker? Answer: Nothing really. The Bose Flex 2 is a quality built speaker with modern good looks and sound quality that goes beyond the level of just being "loud". But when it comes to satisfying sound this speaker goes to "11". Highly recommended? Indeed!

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.

Amazing, clear sound. I bought this speaker due to its features advertised. It is waterproof like it said. I use a pressure washer to was my car at home. It didn't damage it when the mist got on it. The bass on this speaker is unbelievable. You'd think it was a larger speaker with the sound output. It can fit into your pocket if you want to take it places and dont have a carry case. I would definitely recommend this speaker if you want a small one. You need to download to Bose app to get the best sound settings.

The Bose SOUNDLINK Flex is a great little speaker for smaller spaces. In the package comes the speaker, charging cable (USB C thankfully), instruction manual and QR code for the Bose App. After charging for about 4 hours I turned it on and paired it with my phone through the app. The app allows you to easily adjust the speaker audio settings. The app has several tips on how to maximize the speaker and its various uses. There is a shortcut button on the speaker so you can easily link multiple SOUNDLINK speakers together. I played multiple genres of music both at maximum and mid sound levels. Nothing worse than a speaker that distorts the sound so badly at high levels it is not even worth listening to. The Bose SOUNDLINK FLEX does well at maximum volume levels, especially in a smaller space. My dining room is 15 x20 and it adequately filled the area with sound. It actually did such a good job I took it outside and played it on my patio/deck. Surprisingly it did very well outside in a wide open space. The sound was still full and rich and it was able to compete with any background noise. I like the design and how the speaker is metal and mostly covered in a silicone substance. The charging port is on the side and does not have a cover, but since it says it is water and dust proof it must be protected from within. At 2 hours at mid to high volume the battery was still above 50%. For the price I think this is a great compact speaker.

The Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) is an exceptional portable Bluetooth speaker that delivers impressive sound quality in a compact, sleek design. Its robust build is both waterproof and dustproof, making it a perfect companion for outdoor adventures or poolside relaxation. The rich, well-balanced audio ensures deep bass and clear highs, even in larger spaces. The speaker’s durable construction and premium materials give it a stylish yet rugged appeal. Battery life is reliable for extended listening sessions. While it's a bit pricey compared to competitors, its superior sound and durability make it a worthwhile investment.

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 overall performance. Perfect size for outdoor use. Battery charge surpassed our expectations. Would recommend to family and friends.

I made an excellent choice! The Bose Speaķer is clear, no static, The volumoe, the base, everything is excellent excellent with the Bose Portable 2nd Generation Speaker.

Very happy with this speaker. It’s compact so super easy to travel with. The best feature is the ability to connect two speakers and use as stereo or party mode. Bose came out with this feature years ago but it worked poorly and drained the batteries quickly when two were paired. The two new ones I have pair easily and provide very long battery life. Needless to say they sound great.

Sounds amazing for its size. Its a great speaker small enough to bring along and with awesome Bose sound. It has good bass.

As a former Sony and JBL speaker loyalist I was pleasantly surprised at the sound profile and capabilities of the Bose soundlink flex. I compared the speaker to the Sony ULT(the smaller one not the massive one) and the JBL charge 5 and boy was I impressed, Although not exactly punching you exactly the same bass wise as the JBL the Bose made up for it in clarity and lack of distortion at higher volume Clear winner over the Sony and it just edges the JBL charge 5 via clarity vs sheer sound.

Excellent sound, sounds like a big home stereo system, good bass and treble, battery life is great

Great sound, good bass, speakerphone works great, easy to connect.

Great sound if you’re looking for a small speaker to travel with. It’s easy to setup, but the equalizer is limited. Not a big deal for me though

So i’m very picky with sound. I listened to everything in store that had a demo. Granted not all the demos have the best songs, but the volume and sound for the price stood out to me in comparison to Sonos and Sony. Personal preference of course, and i will say, not all of the bose products today sound the best in other categories. So this speaker really impressed me.

Great sound easy to bluetooth too sounds amazing lightweight

Loved it so much I bought a second one as a gift. First, I love that it's waterproof and I can play it in the shower. Second, the sound quality is perfection. Battery life is descent - probably not as good as my old JBL speaker that I replaced this one with, but still good for the amount of sound it's putting out for the length of time. Solid purchase.
