The best sound in the price range without question

Ok, so I wanted something small that was blue tooth just for the kitchen when I cook dinner, maybe carry to the bathroom if having a bath. After a bunch of research I go to the local big box shop to hear the options for around (or under) 200 bucks. I hear the JBL and am not impressed especially at low volume which is what I want in something small and easy to move; if I’m having a party I will use the real stereo. I see the Marley and love the look of it, I (can’t hear it) though because there is a wiring problem and the 17 year old sales person can’t sort it out. I then hear the compact Bose and say wow, it seems a bunch better than the JBL in here, but at home in my room(s) is where the proof is in the pudding… But the Marley is (easily) twice the size or more, our looks so nice, the speakers are way, way bigger than the Bose so it has to have a better low end sound, it just has to? So I buy it and take it home. Well, this is not even close to what I hoped for at low volume sound. (It did get better as the volume went up), but I wasn’t looking for concert volume as I made spaghetti. So now I’m disappointed. I go back to the big box store and buy the Bose Flex for (I think) another 20 bucks. I don’t return the Marley, I’m doin the side by side “Pepsi challenge” for: winner lives with me, loser goes back. Well, not (what I would consider) close. The Bose is small and unassuming but is AWESOME! It’s tiny and even at the low volume levels you can feel the base by putting your on the counter top; turn it up and you will say wow?! So the Marley goes back, and every single day I use my little wee Bose flex and smile and say wow!

Perfect fit - Bose got it right.

I own two of these. They sound great individually or as a stereo pair. They sound close to the old Bose soundlink III but in a smaller, more durable package. They are waterproof and can handle getting banged around. Battery life has been good. It's a no brainer to buy one (or two) of these. Don't worry, you can still use the special functions without the Bose app.

Better Sound with Bose

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The portable speaker market is saturated and with so many to chose from why chose Bose? The competition may be louder or have more bass, mids, and or highs but what makes Bose stand out is that perfect balance of sound. When I listen to Bose speakers I find myself being able to hear the individual instruments in a song, almost like listening to live music. When pairing the Bose Soundlink Flex to a phone or tablet for the purposes of watching a movie it's like pairing a personal portable soundbar you feel the sound all around you. In full transparency, I did receive this Bose speaker at a discounted price for review.

Bose Flex compact and long lasting battery life

I bought the Bose Flex to replace a vintage Soundlink II. The Flex is far more compact, has a longer battery life, and can be connected to another flex to creat stereo sound. However, the sound quality is slightly less than the Soundlink II. That is why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

Battery life

Hey my name is Demetrio And I’m huge fan from Bose audio and technology but I just purchased the new soundlink flex I was so excited to to hear that amazing sounds that Bose company provides in all the speakers well this time I’m a little disappointed coz before to purchase the speaker I read the specs and one of them was the battery takes up to 12 hours of playing So the problem I have been having with mines is I charge it 100% and I play my music in high volume and in couple hours drops to 70 or 60 % battery life so now I don’t know what to do Coz I love the sound Quality but not so happy with the battery live

SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Speaker is Top Notch!

I recently got my hands on the Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Speaker, and let me tell you, this little wonder is a game-changer! Setting it up was a breeze—within minutes, I had it synced with my devices and ready to roll. The sound quality is exceptional, with rich, clear tones and surprisingly deep bass. What really stands out to me is its portability. It's so lightweight and easy to carry around, making it perfect for on-the-go music sessions or impromptu gatherings. Plus, the battery life is impressive, giving me hours of uninterrupted playback. The design is sleek and modern, fitting seamlessly into any space. This speaker feels sturdy and well-built, ready to withstand whatever adventures I take it on. Overall, the Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth® Speaker is a winner in my book. Easy setup, incredible sound quality, portability, and durability. Highly recommended for anyone looking for big sound from a compact device.

The best portable speaker Bose has to offer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bose SoundLink flex speaker is a powerhouse in a small portable package. Anyone that knows Bose is aware of the sound quality it carries. This SoundLink flex speaker is no exception, not only can it bring strong crisp clear sound anywhere you go, it does so with being portable and durable. It's dust and water resistance makes this a great outdoor companion. It not only has a soft yet protective outer shell, but it also floats! The design is modern and can fit all styles, with 3 different colors. We choose the black finish that looks great and compliments your daily usage. The PositionIQ allows for placement of the speaker in anyway you see fit, upside down, sideways, hanging you choose. It does not affect the flow of sound, speaking of sound, The SoundLink carries the Bose name to the full extend showcasing some of the best sounding music any portable can achieve. You get very crisp clean sound from such a small package, hard to believe its coming from a portable Bluetooth speaker. There is clear separation with full fledge stereo sound that immerses you on the go. And battery life is great, it matches the full 12 hours it claims, i have been able to use it all day at work, and still have a solid 4-5 hours left to keep music going with Party Mode. This allows you to pair your SoudLink to other Bose Bluetooth speakers. Plus you can connect it to your Bose soundbar to synch the viewing experience outdoors with out missing a beat. Overall i would highly recommend the Bose SoundLink to anyone looking for a great sounding durable portable speaker.

Not the sound quality I expect from Bose

I own 3 Soundlink Squares and have been very happy with the sound quality for the size of speaker and price I paid. Would have returned this one but I already had tossed the box. Thought it would be a more durable speaker to take camping and like the design but sound quality is poor, very echoey. I have alwys been happy with my Bose purchases but this one was a let down.

Bose = SOUND.

I've had mine for a couple of weeks, and really appreciate the sound quality. The Bluetooth connections are easy. I bought this to compare it to the cheap products available at the various discount stores. There is no comparison for full bodied sound than this one. One thing I would have like to have seen - or see included in a future version - is the addition of a microSD card reader. I hope readers of this enjoy their product as much a I do.

Review of 1st few weeks of use

Excellent sound in stereo mode. Pairing the 2nd speaker is seamless about 1/2 the time - other 1/2 requires multiple attempts. When turning both speakers on - it would be nice for the last mode of use to automatically re-establish so that the pairing of both and the stereo mode does not have to be redone each time the speakers are used.
