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

I bought the Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) and I’m really impressed. The sound quality is excellent, clear highs, strong mids, and surprisingly deep bass for a compact speaker. It feels very solid and well-built, and the waterproof, dustproof design makes it perfect for outdoor use. The buttons are tactile and easy to use, power, Bluetooth pairing, volume, and a multi-function button for play/pause, skip, or voice assistant. It connects quickly, and the speakerphone feature works well for calls too. Battery life is solid, and the built-in loop is a nice touch for carrying or hanging. Overall, it’s a powerful, reliable portable speaker with great features and usability.

Very nice speaker, seems like a high end high quality speaker right out of the box. I’m not an audio connoisseur like my husband is, but I think the sound is excellent. The petal pink color is so pretty and it’s the bomb that it is water and dust proof. My only comments are I was disappointed it didn’t come with some charge to the battery because I wanted to play on it right away! And the loop/handle I feel like could be a tad bigger. But would definitely recommend if you’ve got $150 to invest in a speaker! Very easy to set up as well.

There really is something different about the Bose sound… I have 2 sets of speakers that I use around my home for work & entertainment. I’ve had them for over 15 yrs. and they sound great like I just purchased them. That said, I’m sold on Bose’s brand quality. I’m really enjoying my little pink Bose Soundlink Flex… Did I mention it’s pink. It was a birthday present to myself. The sound is rich, full, and when I first turned it on-I was pleasantly surprised at how good it sounds. I played some jazz, R&B and even my brown noise at night to sleep. Ten out of 10 I highly recommend. I gave my clunky sleep noise machine away-this speaker has been a wonderful replacement. The added bonus is an equalizer via the Bose app- it’s the cherry on top bc the sound is already near perfection, BUT for persnickety music/sound lovers-you’re in luck.

After doing a lot of research and comparisons, I finally chose this speaker — and I’m so glad I did. It meets all my needs: it connects to multiple devices at once and switches between them seamlessly. The sound quality is rich, balanced, and full-bodied, whether I’m listening to music, podcasts, or watching videos. The bass is deep without being overpowering, and the highs are crisp and clear. Build quality is solid, and the design is sleek and portable. Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time — highly recommended!

Love my new speaker.. size is perfect and fits in backpack easily. Sound is just right and tuning can be adjusted theoretically app. Used at beach and while moving.. great for all occasions

I love this speaker. It's exactly what I needed- portable and durable with decent sound. I also like that it's resistant to dust and water. I plan to use it in the backyard or when camping or traveling, so I like that it can endure some exposure to the elements (within reason). I did get a case for it and recommend one for some added protection. The battery life is decent (it gives you updates every time you turn it on and when it's running low when you're using it), it was easy to set up, and the sound quality is great. My only complaint is that I wish it was voice activated. While you can set it up to link to your Google Assistant or Alexa, you still have to push a button to talk to it. In the era of just yelling whatever you want at a speaker that is always listening, I found that to be a bit cumbersome since I don't always have it within reach (based on the sound quality, you will find that you want to place it somewhere in the center of a room where you can get the full effect, so it may not always be in front of you to push the button). However, I've just learned to control it from my phone instead and don't think it's worth taking off a star, because that's not what it's supposed to be. Overall, for the price, this was exactly what I wanted, and I highly recommend it. While you can get any type of Bluetooth speaker these days, this is absolutely worth the price.

Since obtaining a Bose Wave 2 CD clock radio at a pawn shop and having Bose speakers in my Cadillac and my wife having them in her Caddy and hearing the "Bose difference" I have been pretty much hooked on their products and feel the extra $ are worth it to get the sound I personally want and this is no exception.The sound quality and battery life are great,as expected, and I caught it on sale so that's even better. It is a solid unit and manufactured well. The "Soundlink Max" (although I'm sure it's dynamite also) was more than I wanted to spend on a Bluetooth speaker, especially since I'm "old skool" and still listen to, and purchase, compact discs and won't pay for music streaming so my options are limited to Amazon Prime music, You Tube etc. but I felt the need to have a portable, compact speaker to hear whatever I am listening to on my phone better.Summing up, Yes, buying a Bose is going to be more expensive, but IMO it's worth it and I have a bluetooth speaker of the brand I prefer that will hopefully last many years..so there it is.
