Q: Questioncan these speakers go inside a traditional sauna

Asked 2 months ago by Teri.

This question was asked about the related product: Bose - SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Waterproof/Dustproof Design - Blue Dusk

• A:Answer No, the Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) Portable Bluetooth Speaker should not be placed inside a traditional sauna. While it has an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, the extreme heat and humidity in a sauna go far beyond its intended operating conditions. Prolonged exposure can damage the battery and internal electronics, posing a safety risk. For the best experience, we recommend using your speaker near the sauna in cooler areas, where it can still deliver the clear, powerful sound it’s designed for without risk of damage.

This question was asked about the related product: Bose - SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Waterproof/Dustproof Design - Blue Dusk

• A:Answer Hello! Yes, you can charge the Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) using a wall electric outlet. The speaker comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable, so you’ll just need a power supply with a USB-A input that is capable of delivering 5V/1.5A (7.5W). Simply connect the cable to the power adapter and plug it into the wall outlet to start charging.

Q: QuestionCan these speakers work as surround sound and work with a bose soundbar?

Asked 4 months ago by NAZ2175.

• A:Answer Thank you for trusting Bose! The Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) is not designed to function as a surround sound speaker, although it can be synced with Bose soundbars for synchronized audio playback. However, it’s important to note that the SoundLink Flex is not specifically designed to serve as a surround speaker. For a true surround sound experience, we recommend considering the Bose Surround Speakers or the Bose Surround Speakers 700, which are designed to deliver immersive surround sound when paired with compatible Bose soundbars.

Q: QuestionCan this be used in a 190 degree sauna?

Asked 5 months ago by JohnSmith.

This question was asked about the related product: Bose - SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) Portable Bluetooth Speaker with Waterproof/Dustproof Design - Fog Gray

• A:Answer The Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) Portable Bluetooth Speaker is not suitable for use in a 190‑degree sauna. While it’s rugged and waterproof with an IP67 rating, it isn’t designed to withstand extreme heat. High temperatures can damage the battery and internal components, posing safety risks. It’s best used in normal ambient conditions like outdoors, at the pool, or on the go, but not in saunas or other high‑heat environments. Jelyn - Bose Customer Support

Q: QuestionHow does the sound compare to the older Mini Soundlink?

Asked 8 months ago by 89SVTII.

• A:Answer Great question! Both the SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) and the older SoundLink Mini deliver excellent Bose sound, but they’re designed with different priorities in mind. The Flex offers a slightly broader soundstage and stronger bass response, making it ideal for outdoor use, while the SoundLink Mini is known for its rich, detailed mids and stereo speakers, perfect for indoor listening. The Flex also has an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, giving it superior durability compared to the Mini, which isn’t water-resistant. In terms of battery life, the Flex provides up to 12 hours of playtime versus about 7 hours on the Mini. If you’re looking for a rugged speaker for adventures, the Flex is a great choice, while the Mini remains a fantastic option for those who prefer a compact, premium-feel speaker for home use.

Q: QuestionAre there brackets available as an accessory or aftermarket? I want to mount the speaker in my camper.

Asked 9 months ago by GiftHorse.

• A:Answer Bose does not offer official mounting brackets for the SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen). However, the speaker is designed with a utility loop that makes it easy to hang or attach using straps or hooks. For mounting in your camper, you might consider third-party solutions that are compatible with the speaker’s size and weight. Just make sure they provide a secure fit and won’t damage the speaker.

Q: QuestionCan we connect this speaker to a laptop to attend and talk over zoom meetings?

Asked 10 months ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer It will connect with a laptop as I use mine because the laptop speakers produce very low quality of sound. Haven't try with zoom meetings. If it connects to a laptop, I don't know why it would not continue with zoom meetings.
