Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Portable Speaker, Wireless Waterproof Speaker for Outdoor Travel—Black

This bose speak is very impressive - its sound from such a small speaker is tremendous. The bass is lively, the midrange and treble is all there too. Battery life is fab, have only charged it once and used it for a few hours and its on 70% (it tells you this when you power it on). I like the way it connects very fast to Bluetooth on my phone, its almost instant. The back and around the edges is like a softer rubbery kind of feel and two bumps on its length at the bottom act as feet so it can lay down and face you to give you sound. Outdoors its really impressive, if fills a huge garden area, so you have to watch the sound levels so as not to annoy people. The performance of some other speakers I've tried (friends speakers) are bass overkill and are much larger. This Bose is spot on, it's got a lot of feeling and bass without being overwhelming to the point of needing to turn it down, and for such a compact speaker I don't know how they've managed it. We sometimes hang it off the door handle to give an ear height to the speaker when in the garden sat down. Easy to charge via a usb type c cable. Apparently it's ok to get it wet, I haven't tried this yet of course! Overall, I would not change this for anything else. Fits in a rucksack or bag easily due to its compact size, and feels substantial as it weighs 586grams - this thing won't blow over in the wind. Awesome, love it.

I was looking for a lightweight speaker for use mainly outdoors, where I wouldn't want to crank the volume up too loud, and it was either this one or the JBL Flip 6 which is about £30 cheaper. Having used a Bose Soundlink, designed to drop iPod into for years (with a bluetooth adapter) I was really please with the build quality and the sound, so decided to go with the Flex. The sound quality is excellent and gives a really "big" sound, if you didn't see the unit, you'd think it was much larger to achieve such a sound It's very bass heavy, which may not please some people, but considering there's only one drive unit in it, it handles the range of frequencies very well, and when turned up load, really fills a room without noticeable distortion. Gives a really good thumping sound to Techno and rock music, but equally gives a very pleasant rendering of a Beethoven Piano concerto.. Always a "shot in the dark" buying audio equipment unheard, but I'm really happy with it, It's water and dustproof, but that doesn't concern me, very well constructed and , for me anyway, a much nicer design than the generic cylindrical shape of most small speakers. I use it with an iPhone, and as with my Bose headphones, it connects instantly when it's switched on, giving and audio description the battery level and the device connected. I've only tried it once receiving a phone call, and compared with the music sound level, the audio was very very quiet, and I had to turn the volume up to full to just about hear it, so that may be an issue if the ability to use it for phone calls was a deciding factor for purchase. All in all though, a great little speaker.

After watching countless Youtube videos on this product I took the plunge and bought the Bose Flex from Amazon. Nothing can prepare you for the sound that comes out of this small speaker. I already own a Bose Micro speaker and a Bose Revolve. I prefer the sound out of this and the form factor. When working from home I use the speaker connected to Microsoft Teams for meeting and it seamlessly connects to various devices at the same time so if I get a call on my mobile it switches over and in between meetings I can stream a news channel or radio through it from my personal laptop. When I'm in the office I can use it as a voice conference speaker with around 6 people in a meeting room on Microsoft Teams and when staying in hotels it enhances the sound of movies or TV playing on my tablet, great for audio books. I am a semi professional guitar player and agonise over EQ and sound. Some people don't like the fact there is no way to EQ this speaker but in my opinion it doesn't need it and it one less thing to have to mess about with. It's really well balanced and it really does sound amazing. I find it goes with me everywhere and is easy to transport because of the form factor. Everyone I have demo'd this speaker to has been blown away by the sound! If I had to pick cons, takes a while to charge and whilst 10 hours of battery life if fine for me it may not be for some people. If it helps I use this device with a Galaxy s22 Ultra, Surface laptop and Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra with no issues.

In my photo I've added a couple of rubber wristbands to the speaker for added protection. A bit of background, I'm a bluetooth speaker addict and own dozens of them, including several Bose speakers. The closest match to the Flex is my Soundlink Mini II. I noticed similarities between the sound from the Flex and the Mini II. Arguably the Mini II sounds better if it is pointing directly at your head, but it has a definite sweet spot as it's a very directional speaker. The Flex is not directional, and that's the main upgrade from my perspective. As long as you can see the speaker grill, it will sound nice. I first played the Flex indoors, and was a bit underwhelmed. The bass was too dominant and the highs too recessed. However, when I took it outside, the speaker began to shine. A good level of bass remained, but the highs were able to break through strongly, making the overall sound perfect for my taste. As others have said, when the bass drops in a song, you can't help but smile and be somewhat impressed by what this little speaker can do. I cranked the volume up to maximum indoors and it performed well. Not loud enough for a dance party, but more than you need for most other scenarios. The main upgrades over the Mini II: - USB-C charging - Can stand upright or be laid down for a kind of 360 degree sound - Waterproof - A lot more rugged - Less directional sound The thing that surprisingly hasn't improved significantly, if at all, is the Bluetooth range, which sadly does seem to be roughly as stated. If your speaker is in your garden and you go inside with the device that's playing your music, the audio will likely break up and/or stop. This is the speaker's achillies heel. Battery life seems fine to me, long enough that it's not something you really need to worry about. In summary, despite having dozens of alternatives to choose from, this is the speaker that I find myself reaching for the most often, and is my new travel speaker of choice. Of course it's not perfect, but it is very good for the size. Think of it as very much a stand-alone mono speaker though. Bose don't do TWS for some reason, and believe me, stereo pairing of Bose speakers really is too much hassle to set up each time and very glitchy. Their equivalent of party mode does work, however, with 2 speakers playing in sync just by turning them on. Not in stereo though. I hope this was helpful!

Bought two of these speakers , one for my wife's tablet and phone for when she listens to music or her audio books . The sound is crystal clear and the volume is very good as is the bass and treble and can be adjusted via the app. The speaker has some weight to it and is pretty sturdy but very portable. A nice touch is that when you press the power button it tells you how much charge percentage there is left. The second speaker is for the TV. I don't need a fancy soundbar with surround sound I just need to be able to hear the TV some of the programmes the volume is so deep and blends in with the background music I always have to have the subtitles on which deflects my attention , but not anymore , with this speaker I can hear the TV very well and listening to music documentaries or concerts with great sound. It's very easy to pair the speaker to your devices. It's too obtrusive and is a manageable size. The charge seems to last a long while.

I was initially looking at the Bose Portable Smart Speaker but after listening to it in a local electrical store was not impressed. They also had the SoundLink Flex on display and I was amazed at the depth of sound that comes out of this little thing, which in my view sounded better than the more expensive offerings. It won't compete with a home speaker but for a portable it takes some beating for the overall tone. Granted it's not a smart speaker but I can live with that on the basis it's portable and I'm going to have my phone with me to use it, so can access a voice assistant through that if needed. This can be linked up with other Bose speakers (I also have a Bose Home Speaker 500 and it pairs effortlessly through the Bose Music App for that device) for group play if you want to have it in another room and sync the music from your main unit. It uses the Bose Connect App but the only reason I can see for using this is to link it to other speakers in the SoundLink range as it doesn't appear to do much else. I struggled to connect the speaker to my phone via Bluetooth initially and this appears to have been caused by me having the Bose Music App installed for another product. As soon as I uninstalled this the SoundLink Flex connected with no issues (as it did on other devices without the Music App installed) and having re-installed the Bose Music App since everything seems fine. I've given 4 stars purely due to the App issues and it not having an equaliser but apart from that it's a great little speaker. My advice would be to lay it on it's back rather than stand it up and in my view it sounds a lot better in that position.

I am so glad that i chose this Bose speaker. I have been looking for a decent, compact speaker for our garden parties. Alexa Echo's have let me down too many times in the past when we have been entertaining. After having read the reviews, i couldn't resist. I haven't put any stars for the battery life as i have only used it briefly once, after charging it, to try it out. The sound is clear and does not distort. I didn't want something big and bulky and was looking for a speaker that was waterproof, which this is. The cost i would say is reasonable for the sound quality. It didn't take long to charge, after i figured out which plug top to use. It wouldn't work with the first Samsung plug top but i tried another and it worked fine. Apparently each phone charger plug top has a different output (advised by my other half). Only slight disappointment, is that the charging cable is quite short. I bought the carry case from Amazon which is perfect and i cannot wait to buy another Bose Soundlink Flex so that we can use Party Mode or Stereo Mode. Don't hesitate, this is a great Bluetooth speaker.

I did lots of research before deciding to buy this speaker. I looked at all the competitors in the price range. And watched sooooo many videos it made my decision harder lol. But I wanted all the things this had to offer, so here is my review of the Bose sound flex. It's sturdy, in fact I was surprised at the robust feel, once I had it in hand, firstly, it connected to my Samsung phone very quick, the Bose app didn't really offer much in the way that I thought it would, that being said, the Bose app let's you connect two of these if you have them, giving you a party mode option, but not much more. When you power on the device it tells you how much battery life it has ie: battery at 80% and then tells you which device it's connected to, which is a small but handy thing to know. You can place and receive calls, I have tried this and the sound was clear and precise. I have had it a varied volumes and played a mixture of music, it wasn't distorted even at max volume, and still sounded great, it's loud you could easy have a group of people for instance at a BBQ, and this would perform brilliantly, the bass is perfect, I have found the battery has lasted for more than enough for what we use it for, it's waterproof, I know this as I had it balanced on the side of the bath listening to an audio book, and it fell in, and just to add it floats lol. Charge time was around an hour from 40% you can skip songs or re-play from the top of the speaker. I am very pleased with this speaker. Hope this helps you decide on your future purchase.

Alırken gelene kadar "çok mu para verdim, acaba tek hoparlör ile ne kadar sesi çıkar, x markası mı alsaydım??" diye çok düşündüm. Ürün gelince bütün sorularım cevap buldu. Öncelikle kötü yanlarından bahsedeyim: Bluetooth 5 ve üzeri bir sürüm kullanmasını çok isterdim. Evet içindeki kodek çözücüler başarılı ve şarkıları çok net ve temiz duyabiliyorum ama gecikme kendini ele veriyor malesef. Herhangi bir video izlerken veya müzik dinlerken yani playback yaparken çok belli etmiyor ama bildirim gelince veya şarkı değiştirirken ne kadar çok gecikme olduğu anlaşılıyor. Bunun dışında bu ürün içeride kullanmak üzere tasarlanmış diyebilirim. Dışarıda da kullanılabilir ama eğer sık sık dışarıda kullanacaksanız tavsiye edemeyeceğim. Bu hoparlörde malesef tweeter veya bir subwoofer yok. Tek bir hoparlör ile çok iyi bir mühendislik ile tüm sesler alınmaya çalışılmış ve başarılı da olmuşlar. Müzik dinlerken zevk ve haz alıyorsunuz kesinlikle. Diğer Bluetooth hoparlörlerde olduğu gibi sesi arttırınca tizler yükselip basslar arkada kalıyor fakat bunun diğerlerine nazaran daha az olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Son olarak ürünün malzeme kalitesi gayet güzel. Uygulaması bulunuyor fakat ekolayzır gibi çeşitli ayarlar yok.

Brilliant sound and reasonable battery life. I use this speaker at our cabin, and when I work outdoors mostly.

Daha önce Sony, Harman Kardon, Bang & Olufsen JBL ve birsürü daha markanın bluetooth speaker'ını denedim. Özel ilgi alanım olduğu için sürekli daha iyisi arayışındayım :) Bundan önce en tatmin eden Harman Kardon oldu ama iki tanesi de 1-2 sene içinde bozuldu bass'lar cızırdamaya başladı o yüzden maalesef Harman Kardon markasını eledim artık. B&O küçük olanların ses kalitesi muazzam ama ses birazcık açılınca bass çok yetersiz kalıyor, kısık seslerde çok daha iyi performans veriyor. Sony ve JBL'i bu lige sokmuyorum bile karşılaştırmaya değmeyecek kadar kötülerdi. Neyse konuya dönersek, öncelikle hoparlörün gerçek ses kalitesinin ortaya çıkması için bir süre dinlemek gerekiyor, ses başlarda bir tık metalik ve daha derinliksiz olabiliyor ama 1 ay içinde gerçek performansını buluyor. İlk testlerime göre hem kısık hem de yüksek seste performansı oldukça tatmin edici. Çok büyük olmayan evinizde çok kalabalık olmayan partilerinizde bile işinizi görecektir. Şimdilik çok memnun kaldım, bu boyutta bir hoparlörden daha kaliteli ses beklentim zaten yok. Daha iyisi gelene kadar benim için en iyisi budur :) Edit: 2 yıla yakındır kullanıyorum bir tanesini arkadaşım çok beğendi ona hediye ettim, biri çalındı bu 3. ve bahçede sulamanın altında mı kalmadı, defalarca 1 masaların üstlerinden yere mi düşmedi. Bana mısın demiyor. Gerçekten sesinin yanında sağlamlığı da takdire şayan. Ayrıca duayen bir müzisyen olan yan komşumla bu ürün sayesinde samimi olduk, bahçede müzik dinlerken “nereden çalıyorsun ne kadar temiz basları” diyerek yanıma geldi ve arkadaş olduk. 3 ev yanımdaki müzisyen komşumu bile sesinin temizliği etkiledi o kadar diyeyim.
