Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

Bought this on sale for $119.00. The price isn't bad for whats on offer but I am somewhat disappointed in the volume. I expected the BOSE brand to deliver a much higher volume setting than it has.

Good indoor speaker, but not so much when outside. I used it for cheer practice and could barely hear it.

The Bose Flex 2 SoundLink is a great small, portable speaker! I am really enjoying this speaker. I've thoroughly tested is out and following are my observations: - It comes nicely packed, including the speaker and a USB-C cable, which you can connect to any USB charging block. - It comes in four different colors. I have the black one and it is a nice looking speaker and feels very durable. - It is approximately 2"H x 8"W x 3.5"D and weighs just under 1.3 pounds, so this is easily packable to take with you wherever you go. It also has a nylon sport utility loop attached that you can use to clip it onto something. - It is dust and water resistant with a IP67 rating - The battery will last up to 12 hours with a full charge. - It maintains Bluetooth connection up to 30 feet - It easily connects via Bluetooth directly to your phone. There are exterior buttons to allow you to power it on and off, play and pause, forward and reverse, enable Bluetooth, and it has a shortcut button that is programmable with the Bose App. - The Bose App can be used for some advanced features. You can program the Shortcut button to link two Bose Bluetooth Speakers, or to access your voice assistant, or to resume Spotify. You can switch between two different phones or source devices. The App has a three band equalizer with four preset options or you can manually set the equalizer how you like it. I really enjoy having the equalizer as you can play with it to optimize the sound for the music you like, The App also has tips and an Owner's guide. This is a useful App to maximize the speaker options. - Most importantly is the sound. It has a large speaker area on the front, but also a smaller area on the back, so it sounds good from all directions, I am really impressed with the sound. For a smaller sized speaker, it really packs a nice bass punch with the bass turned up on the equalizer, with no distortion. I've tested it with multiple genre's of music, loud & soft, acoustic, hard-rocking, male and female singers, instrumental only. It all sounds great! I'm really happy with the sound and functionality of the Bose Flex 2 SoundLink speaker. I will use it while golfing and traveling and just to listen to in my house or on my deck. I highly recommend this speaker!

Great little speaker. Battery does not seem to last for long.
