Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this speaker, it works perfectly and is very convenient

The Flex is the best BT speaker in its class. The sound is very crisp and detailed with a slight bump in bass and clear highs and vocals when using the adjustable app eq settings. I found the default Bose setting a bit flat. It gets very loud only showing slight eq rollback on the low end frequencies at near max volume. This isn’t an audiophile sounding speaker but the sound quality is outstanding especially at this price. I have owned many and this is the best for my ears anyway. I imagine if you pair a second one the sound would be amazing. The physical controls are easy to use and understand. I also have a Bose portable home speaker which had held up many years so I expect the same from this one. It's rugged and great that it can be clipped to something for travel. As far as charging and runtime through 3 charges it has matched and slightly exceeded the Bose listed calculations. It can lay flat or upright. I think it sounds more full upright but it's nice to have options. There are so many portable speakers now it really comes down to sound and value and I can't imagine getting better than this at a sub $200 price point.

Love these apeakers but I'll admit, I like the stye of Bose products more than other companies.

The Bose Soundlink Flex 2 packs big sound in a small package. Very solidly built and ready for just about anything. With its IP67 rating you get dust proof and waterproof protection. Also, it floats in case you happen to drop it in water! With its tough silicone body you also get protection from drops. I love the sound of this speaker. Everything from jazz to hard rock sounds so good, and this speaker produces some impressive bass for its size. I’ve used plenty of other similar sized speakers and I must say the Soundlink Flex 2 is great. Amazing battery life and quality you would expect from Bose. Another thing like to mention is the Bose app. It works great and it was super easy to get the Soundlink 2 up and running. With just about everything being app-connected these days, it’s nice having a quality app to work with. There are a ton of speakers out there to choose from. If you get the chance, I recommend going to your local Best Buy and giving this speaker a listen. You definitely won’t be disappointed with this one. I definitely recommend this speaker!!

It’s been a few weeks. For a minute the speaker sounded blown out, it may have been a weak connection. Because now it sounds fine.

great speakers and happy that they keep making them

Bose is KING… Own several Bose items Would definitely recommend

These were a gift for our son, he enjoys the quality

Great sound, nice size, easy to operate with the only downside being the built in microphone is not the best for those that have blue tooth enabled hearing aids

Wife loves it. Bought as a birthday gift for her to listen to her on line books.

great product. very easy to install and would recommend !

Great speaker that’s a good spend of money I recommend it

Purchased 2 and I am pleasantly surprised and satisfied!

This speaker feels underwhelming for $150, i have spent less on other brand speakers and had better sounding results. Its not bad, just not a wow speaker for this price.

Excellent purchase. This is exactly as advertised.

For the most part came as advertised. My only real complaint is the fact the sound was not up to full capacity and battery lasted around 2 1/2 hrs. Coild have better battery time.

Great sound quality. I wish the batter would last longer.

The sound is still good, but the battery life is misleading. When you look up other reviews outside of Best Buy (which was what I should’ve done instead of blindly trusting this), people have reached out to Bose about their battery concerns and they’ve admitted that the long battery life is only when you have the speakers on very low volume. Kinda defeats the purpose of having speakers to begin with? The battery life is worse than the old old version of the Soundlink. I constantly have to charge mine and I just purchased it last month. Thankfully I got it on sale and used my certificates on top of it. The audacity to price speakers this much when the quality doesn’t match the price is wild.

I like the way it looks but the quality of sound is not quite what I expected. Clarity needs improvement.

The Bose brand is synonymous with quality. You know when you’re buying a Bose speaker that you’re going to get a well-built product that will sound excellent and perform exactly the way it should for years to come. The 2nd Generation Soundlink Flex Portable speaker is no exception! Initial setup with my iPhone and the app was seamless and took mere seconds. The speaker feels well-built and solid without having too much weight to it! The speaker comes with a USB charging cable and a small strap on the side of the speaker to support being attached to a backpack or carabiner. The speaker is made of silicone on the outside and is water resistant for up to 30 minutes along with being rust and shock resistant! It’s made to be durable on hikes or camping trips on the go, so you don’t have to worry about dropping it and damaging the speaker! Initial impressions of the sound quality are exactly what I expect from Bose. The speaker is powerful without being distorted, half the time I don’t even need to move the volume past halfway. Vocals and anything spoken are crisp and clear and the speaker has powerful bass for its size. It’s everything you would want in a portable speaker. There is an equalizer on the Bose app that can dial in the sound that you like! There’s also a directional IQ built into the speaker so it can tell if its vertical or horizontal and direct sound accordingly. Also built into the speaker is a Shortcut button that will allow you to either recall Siri, link another speaker together to create a stereo affect, or restart Spotify! The linking of speakers is a great feature as well as I have a Bose soundbar in my family room and the two can work in conjunction with each other to play music in multiple rooms! With those added features along with the great sound quality and portability this speaker is hard to beat in my opinion. Overall, the 2nd Generation Soundlink Flex Portable Speaker is the perfect portable speaker for anyone on the go who wants a good sounding speaker that’s water resistant and tough enough to take a few bumps and bruises! If you buy this speaker just know you’re getting a quality product!
