    Not the sound quality I would expect from Boss. I did return this item. Unfortunately I love the color size and weight of this speaker but the sound was horrible. Also I purchased open box EXCELLENT and the speaker had several cosmetic defects and was missing the charge cord. Best Buy made me return the item if I wanted a cord. Not happy with Best Buy customer service!

      Hello, Roseann. Thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker (2nd Gen); we understand that battery life was a key reason for choosing this model. Battery performance can vary based on everyday use, as higher volume levels, bass‑heavy music, and continuous Bluetooth streaming can reduce overall playtime, which may result in listening sessions closer to 5–6 hours. To help maximize battery performance, Bose recommends using moderate volume levels, fully charging the speaker before extended use, manually turning it off when not in use, and keeping the firmware updated through the Bose app to support optimal efficiency.

      Here is the link where you can check our troubleshooting steps that may help resolve your concern and improve battery performance: https://bose.life/42ayCVJ

    Wonderful sound but somewhat hard to turn on and off due to its heavy rubber cladding. Switch often does not engage, and battery status is often garbled. Disappointing that this small glitch makes a return likely.

      I'm glad you like the sound performance of your SoundLink Flex 2nd Gen speaker! The speaker's physical controls are designed to be easy to operate; however, if you're finding the power button difficult to operate, pushing down with a fingernail or thumbnail should help. As for the "garbled" battery status, we'd like to know more about what exactly is happening there, so please do get in touch: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

    Decent but needs a tweeter!

    It would have been a perfect speaker with a tweeter. While the sound stage is wide it is not well defined. The bass over powers any highs. It's all mids and bass. I initially love the speaker until I compared it to the beats pill which was actually a real shocker since I am not an Apple fan at all! But Apple definitely nailed this product. I was also extremely disappointed in the Sony Ult Field One. The bass (which I absolutely love on Sony's headphones) sounds horrible choppy and The passive radiators sound like they are going to pop in not a good way. So close Bose.
