    Not surprised by the quality of Bose. Great sound, base and loudness you can get from such a small portable speaker. Connects quickly with Bluetooth on all my devices. Battery life is good as well.

    This is my 2nd purchase. The only reason is that my 1st speaker was given to my kid. Battery life is great. Be aware the louder you like your music the life of your battery lessens. Sound quality cant be matched. Ive had 2 other types of travel speakers and they didnt make the cut(shut downs for over heating and soforth) Ive never experienced this for the 2 years Ive owned this Model!!! Ive used it at work mostly but have taken it to cookouts, local sporting events and just hanging around the house grilling. Its gotten wet a few times and still works like a charm. Bottom line is in my experienced if not the best its close to the best mini portable speaker out there!!!!

    The Bose SOUNDLINK Flex is a great little speaker for smaller spaces. In the package comes the speaker, charging cable (USB C thankfully), instruction manual and QR code for the Bose App. After charging for about 4 hours I turned it on and paired it with my phone through the app. The app allows you to easily adjust the speaker audio settings. The app has several tips on how to maximize the speaker and its various uses. There is a shortcut button on the speaker so you can easily link multiple SOUNDLINK speakers together. I played multiple genres of music both at maximum and mid sound levels. Nothing worse than a speaker that distorts the sound so badly at high levels it is not even worth listening to. The Bose SOUNDLINK FLEX does well at maximum volume levels, especially in a smaller space. My dining room is 15 x20 and it adequately filled the area with sound. It actually did such a good job I took it outside and played it on my patio/deck. Surprisingly it did very well outside in a wide open space. The sound was still full and rich and it was able to compete with any background noise. I like the design and how the speaker is metal and mostly covered in a silicone substance. The charging port is on the side and does not have a cover, but since it says it is water and dust proof it must be protected from within. At 2 hours at mid to high volume the battery was still above 50%. For the price I think this is a great compact speaker.

    Perfect for a house speaker or for a pool day! We spent the day at the beach and it has amazing sound quality. I can attest it is truly waterproof I dropped it in the pool lol and the music was still playing underwater. The only “dislike” I could say is the battery life isn’t the best.

    I’ve been really impressed with my Bose speaker. The sound quality is clear, rich, and surprisingly powerful for its size. It connects easily, holds a strong Bluetooth signal, and the battery lasts a long time between charges. It’s simple to use, built well, and works exactly the way I need it to. Overall, it’s a great speaker that delivers reliable performance and excellent sound every time.

    I use this speaker for work! I needed something that would be durable at work without being too difficult to clean (I work at a Starbucks doing a ton of dishes, handling syrups and milk etc etc) and I was intrigued by the exterior because of this. It is extremely easy to wipe down and you get basically almost a weeks worth of use off one charge (I’m not using it all nine hours of the day) but I am for a good chunk of the shifts. The sound quality is amazing and HUGE as I sometimes have to make sure the door is fully closed or else it easily leaks into the lobby, really great base the only thing I’ll say is that the Bose app is a necessity depending on what you’re listening to and where, the EQ app is kinda just the cherry on top to make sure everything sounds excellent.

    I’ve received numerous compliments on this speaker! It produces a remarkably crisp and clear sound, unlike other speakers that distort at higher volumes. The battery life is excellent, which is perfect for someone like me who works in construction. The app is also very convenient, allowing you to fine-tune the sound to your preference, especially if you prefer more bass. I highly recommend this speaker. You can’t go wrong with it, as a gift for yourself. Pairs well with the new Bose speakers for a true surround sound experience.

    What is cool that you can link into multiple of these things pretty easy with the link button. You can change that to be google assistant or iphone assistant. Ive dropped this quite a few times already and sound never comprimies. The only con I have is the speaker volume is not the loudest. There are EQ quick sets that make speaker volume louder so bass doesnt over load the speaker. The connection process uses an app so its not a quick bluetooth hook-up and go. However, the app has lots you can change on speaker. Left it out in the rain too and still workes like a charm. BOSE IS GOOD.

    If you can get the speaker on sale its a steal. Very loud. Really good bass for the form factor it has. And its very portable. The bose app is the only bad thing about it but the speaker itself really good. Its worth it if you want your music on the go.

    I love this speaker. The color, the bass, the sound, the size. I bring it everywhere with me and even use it at night with the Calm app's thunderstorm sounds to fall asleep. The bass on it makes the thunder feel real. Lol overall, great purchase.

    I’m really impressed with the sound quality and volume of this tiny Bluetooth speaker. I literally can have it at half volume and produces enough sound for everyone to hear in my large living room. This speaker is also small enough to where it could be placed outside when hosting birthday parties or any event for that matter. Lastly, it was super useful when I took my family to the beach and they wanted to listen to some music while building sandcastles and playing ball. Highly recommend this product for families and people who want an easily transportable Bluetooth speaker. Battery life and connectivity is incredible if anyone is wondering about that.

    Typical Bose quality in a compact portable speaker. Very durable and battery life is great. Don't have to worry about it getting wet as the speaker is waterproof. Love the pairing function and the connectivity function. A great product worthy of the investment.

    [Employee of bestbuy] The device exhibits commendable battery performance when utilized at approximately 50% capacity or less, providing extended usage for several days with minimal operational hours. Its lightweight design contributes to ease of portability. Furthermore, the audio output, even with maximized bass settings, delivers noticeable sound quality despite the device's compact size.
