Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Bluetooth Speaker (2nd Gen), Small Portable Wireless Outdoor Speaker with Hi-Fi Audio, Up to 12 Hours Battery Life, Waterproof and Dustproof, Sandstone

This Bose speaker is amazing, I have different speakers made by Bose all of them are great and I have never been disappointed by any of them, the only reason I have bought this one is for the size and robust design for travel. Easy set up it connected to all my devices straight away, the Bose app is brilliant it makes life so much easier, I knew from experience it would be good but the sound quality matches my larger and more expensive speakers, it really fills the room with Bose quality sound, very impressed. Great battery life, it will last the twelve hours they state and it does charge very fast. Easy to use, nice controls and a really nice design, there are plenty of different cases available for it from hard to carrying, I will be getting one of these for added protection but it is a robust speaker with dust and water prevention features so not a requirement. As for the price, I must admit I did get this discounted so it's easy for me to say how great the value is, but truthfully I would like to buy another one in the future so I can connect them together for an even better sound experience and if I have to pay the full price I will do so as I truly believe they are worth the money. Once again a fantastic speaker worth buying if you want great sound on the go or as your set up in the house. I hope your experience will be as positive as mine has been because I am chuffed with my purchase. Very happy.

For a compact portable speaker, this sounds impressively full. The volume is more than enough for a kitchen, bedroom, or small get-together, and it stays clear as you turn it up rather than getting harsh and tinny. Vocals are easy to hear and the bass has real weight for something this size, which makes music feel more satisfying than a lot of smaller speakers that sound thin. Pairing has been straightforward with my Samsung S25 Ultra, and connection has been stable during use. It’s also the sort of speaker you can move around without thinking about it. It feels solid and travel-friendly, and the size is ideal for throwing into a bag. Battery life has also been strong in normal use. I’ve been able to use it for [several hours / a couple of days of casual listening] without feeling like I’m constantly charging it. Placement makes a difference, as it sounds bigger when it’s on a solid surface, and if you stick it in a soft spot like bedding it can dull the sound slightly. That’s normal for speakers like this. Overall it feels premium, performs like it, and is a great choice if you want a portable speaker that doesn’t sound like a compromise.

Nice natural sound. Nothing harsh or dynamic. A little bass heavy out of the box but you have a 3 band equaliser to suit your personal taste. Holds volume well but can distort at higher levels. Love the Spotify button where it will resume where you left off without touching your phone, even if the app is closed. It's programmable so it can also be used for linking 2 speakers or accessing your voice assistant. If you want something to fill a room or to use outside I'd go for the bigger options but for something to take in the shower, beach, pool for more personal listening it's absolutely perfect and well priced.

I absolutely love this speaker. The sound quality is crystal clear with impressive bass, and even at maximum volume it maintains excellent clarity without distortion. It was very easy to set up, and the Bose app lets you customise the EQ settings to get the sound exactly how you like it. The battery life is decent too, lasting around 12 hours, which is great for both indoor and outdoor use. I previously used an Amazon Echo Dot for playing music and wanted to upgrade to something with better sound quality, and I’m so pleased that I did. This speaker has exceeded my expectations!

Having recently bought a new MacBook Air, I was keen to find a portable Bluetooth speaker that would improve the MacBook's tinny sound. After having watched a few comparison videos on YouTube, I plumped for the Flex 2 SoundLink. It felt strange buying a speaker without hearing or seeing it, but I've had Bose products before and always liked their sound. Having used it for three weeks now I have to say I'm really impressed. It's so easy to use, immediately pairing to both my laptop and iPhone and for such a small speaker the sound is superb. Yes, it's not stereo, but the quality of the sound it produces is superb, neither tinny or boomy, just rich and surprisingly loud. I find it works best sat on a phone stand (I use the excellent Lamicall) and in conjunction with a portable Anker charger. Once charged, the battery lasts for hours (at least 10) and quickly recharges. Being portable and Bluetooth, you can take it anywhere you want, be it the bathroom or outside. The speaker can also be controlled via the Bose app which also allows you to alter the EQ levels (Although fairly basic, I imagine Bose will update the software at some point) All n all, I think this is a great little speaker - it has transformed listening to music on both my laptop and phone. Its understated looks and finish exude quality and the sound performance speaks for itself.

Apart from the app and the design of the buttons, the overall experience is very good. The sound quality is superb. There's a decent thump to the bass from such small speakers but it doesn't really make them sound muddy or mushy. There is excellent clarity. Stereo pairing is just a button press on each speaker and has been faultless so far. I wish the buttons were all individual though. The power button is an individual button, but the other buttons are all located in a long indentation. There is a raised line between the shortcut button and volume controls, but it would be a bit easier to operate on the wall mounts if the buttons were all single buttons - wouldn't have to pick up the speakers. Obviously, this is a very small problem. The worst thing is the app, but I've found no real use for it apart from updating the speakers, so no great loss. The problem is it randomly opens the web browser with some kind of account page, when I haven't even made an account. And even when the app isn't already open. And the page is actually blank. And this stops music playing. I haven't noticed any negative effects since uninstalling the app, so I will install it now and then to check for speaker updates.

The Bose Soundlink Flex portable speaker packs a mighty punch that totally belies its size, and when you are travelling that is important! It’s 12 hours running time is plenty for most situations, and charging is quick via USB C charging. It’s easy to pair via Bluetooth and you can connect to several devices! It is waterproof and dust proof so you can use by the pool or beach without concern! There is controls on the speaker to pair and change volume making it easy to use, and it has a solid feel, which gives confidence that it will last a long time. The sound quality is good and goes to a high volume without showing sign of distortion. I got it at a very good price via Amazon’s Prime sale event which just made it all the sweeter!

Fantastic speaker, was considering the beats pill as my kids have them and they are great but decided on this as I had a Bose iPod doc years ago that was superb. Not disappointed at all the speaker is superb. Sound quality is amazing for a speaker this size. Super easy to set up and connect to my iPhone. The app has an equaliser so you can tailor the sound to suit you. Feels so well built and sturdy. Can’t fault it at all. Great speaker that, based on tests, is great outdoors. Can’t comment on that yet.

Amazing sounds and battery lasts long.. amazing product

Pure music quality.

As expected

Très bon son. Faut juste le trouver à un prix pas trop élevé

A product worth every penny. I thought about it a lot before buying it and compared it with the other alternatives. You’ll be very satisfied, the sound quality is surprisingly good. My only complaint is that the battery life is a little short.
