A:AnswerThe speaker can be connected to an electrical outlet using a USB charger. The speaker has a built in battery so does not need to be connected to the outlet 100% of the time.
A:AnswerI had the revolve years ago and I feel like flex has waaaaay more bass. In fact I remember wishing I could adjust sound to get more bass on the revolve and I never even use full volume with the flex and sometimes turn it down if the song has a ton of bass this little thing rocks really
A:AnswerThe speaker is sturdy and I think it would survive a reasonable drop (like off a table top), but I wouldn't drop it off a 6 foot ladder. As for microphone, it doe work as a speaker phone when paired to a phone. If you wanted to use it as a PA, you could use something like the "Mic Speaker" app (or similar) on a smart phone or tablet and use the speaker to address a class or group of people.
A:AnswerDK re Pandora. I use Spotify and it's exactly as you stated. Download the app, turn on the speaker and it automatically ID's the source ... laptop, iPhone etc. It's very easy. Google how to pair pandora with Bose Flex. There are multiple links and videos.
A:AnswerMine is brand new....first charge lasted definitely longer than that but sorry I didn't keep track to know how long. I played music while doing dishes, cleaning house as well as afterwards during lunch & reading in afternoons
A:AnswerThe speaker has good sound quality, is easy to carry around, and the exterior is cute. Overall good product and would definitely recommend to others.
A:AnswerNo and I have tried. I looked for an equalizer as well in the apps but there is no way that I have found to adjust the highs and lows which is why I gave it a4 star instead of 5. The sound is loud and very clear but sometimes you want the bass not to stand out so much
