    Bose is the Best

    Unsurprisingly to most people this speaker is amazing. Obviously, i mean, it's Bose. They are the undisputed champs of the audio tech companies in my humble opinion. I took this speaker on vacation and it withstood hours of the extreme Jamaican sun, sand, salt water, and occasional spill of a frozen strawberry margarita - and i only charged it once the whole trip. I don't wanna toot their horn because their products are typically on the pricier side, but in this case i can really say confidently you get what you pay for. The sound quality is crisp and clear and the bass is booming. The rose pink color and its compact nature is really just a plus. All around great product and i have no doubt it will last me several years or until i just decide to get a new one. Side note: i'm also pleased with my buying experience with Best Buy. i needed this speaker pretty quickly but the first delivery got messed up. But a quick chat to customer service and i was able to get a replacement sent no problem. I really appreciated that and it made me want to purchase more items through best buy.

    I love this speaker. I have bought a few other Brands , that was cheaper, but you get what you pay for... Amazing sound from such a small compact speaker , with amazing Bass..it Is a little expensive , but I got it in sale for only $99..Had bought it in the Sandstone color, which was very nice, except the buttons were hard to see . grey in color , with lighter grey colored buttons... Difficult to see... On the light ones.. The buttons Should be Black.. I returned it for the Black one which Is much easier to see....

    I wasn't totally vlown away with the Bose SounLink Flex portable speakers compared to others I have or have heard. Out of the box it's a solid well built product. Has a usb-c port which is nice and comes with a usb to usb-c cord in case you dont have one. The silicone wrapped body feels good in the hand and seals it up tight to be dust proof and water proof, it floats very well in the pool. The built in loop is a good touch, I can see many uses down the road for that. Be sure to download the bose app to be able ro adjust the sound settings, makes a big difference. At first impression I would have dropped a couple stars but I went ahead and purchase a second one to see if two paired together really made a difference and it really did. As one speaker, it's not my favorite, but paired and in stereo they sound amazing. I probably would have dropped to four stars without knowing the potential. There seems to be a passive subwoofer in the rear of the speaker, so setting it against something solid gets better bass notes out of the speaker. All in all, its just all right alone. Phone calls were seamless with zero complaints, all genres of music sounded about the same. If you can swing two then go for it, if not then look elsewhere.

    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!!!!

    This thing packs so much punch in a small size. It shows its limits at really high volumes but it does get loud. At moderate and lower volumes it sounds better than anything else you can get for this size and price. The fact that it’s extremely portable and durable makes it even better! It’s a great speaker to clip on your bag while hiking and to take camping. Battery life is good as long as you don’t blast it at full volume.

    Love the Bose speaker. My husband bought one for me last Christmas and kept stealing it, so I bought one for him in a different color so I could keep mine. It has amazing sound and connects quickly to your devices. Super portable and great battery life. Recharges quickly and cannot give a higher recommendation. I like it much better than my Sonos roam.

    amazing sound, especially for such a small portable device, easy to set up and use; I appreciate the color options (the "blue dusk" blends much better with my home decor than a standard black or metallic silver would have

    What can one say about Bose...it has spectacular sound. The volume can go extremely high, which is great for an outdoor party. I bring my on vacation to the beach. It is a quick charge, & very portable.

    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.

    Bose Sound for a reasonable price

    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.

    The Bose SoundLink Flex 2nd Gen is impressive for its size. The sound is clear, rich, and surprisingly powerful, and the waterproof/dustproof design makes it perfect for anywhere—home, beach, or travel. Super easy to connect and the battery lasts all day. Highly recommend. This is my second one

    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.

    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.

    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.
