It’s pretty loud and a good size. Price-wise it’s mid — you might find something better in the same range — but overall I’m not disappointed. Battery lasts pretty well, and being able to link up to 2 speakers is a nice feature.

Impressively clear, balanced sound — For its size, this speaker delivers clean, detailed audio that handles vocals, acoustic tracks, and everyday listening very well. Midrange and treble are crisp and lifelike, giving music a natural, pleasant feel. This makes it a great all-around portable speaker for home use, travel, or casual listening.
Strong portability & build quality — It’s compact, lightweight, and easy to carry around (ideal for small apartments, travel, or shifting between rooms). Yet it still feels solid and well-built, with a design that balances sleekness and durability.
Reliable battery and wireless convenience — Built-in Bluetooth connectivity makes pairing with phones, laptops, or tablets simple, and the rechargeable battery ensures you can use it unplugged for extended sessions without worrying about cables.
Great value for daily use — For people who want a no-frills, dependable speaker that sounds far better than most basic Bluetooth speakers, this model hits the sweet spot: quality sound, ease of use, and portability at a reasonable trade-off compared to full home audio setups.

Bose will never disappoint! The blue dusk speaker is beautiful. It pairs very easily & quickly. The sound is powerful; the base is on point. The size of the speaker makes it very portable; you can carry it anywhere. The speaker lasts all day.

I’m extremely happy with my purchase of the Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) in Blue Dusk. The sound quality is impressive for such a compact speaker—clear vocals, rich mids, and surprisingly strong bass without distortion, even at higher volumes.
The build quality feels premium and durable, and the waterproof/dustproof design gives me peace of mind whether I’m using it at home, outdoors, or while traveling. Battery life has been solid, and Bluetooth connection is fast and reliable.
I also love how portable it is—easy to carry, lightweight, and stylish. Overall, this speaker delivers excellent performance, durability, and design. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for powerful sound in a portable package.

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

Just got my hands on the Bose SoundLink Flex, and honestly, I’m impressed. For something this compact, the sound is way bigger than I expected. The bass hits nicely without overpowering the rest, and the clarity stays sharp even when the volume’s cranked.
One thing I love is how rugged it feels. I’ve already taken it to the beach and tossed it in my bag a few times no scratches, no issues. It’s waterproof and it floats, so I don’t even worry when it’s around water. Perfect for summer hangs.
Battery life has been solid, I’ve gotten around 12 hours out of it without needing a charge. Super easy to pair via Bluetooth, and it stays connected without dropouts.

The Bose speaker sounds great and is easy to use. Music is clear, with strong bass and crisp highs. It connects quickly with Bluetooth and looks stylish too. Perfect for home or travel. I’m really happy with it and would recommend it to anyone who loves good sound.

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 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.

Not my first Bose product to be fully transparent. These speakers look small but they pack sound that's much larger, the sound can be super loud in some enclosed environments. Very happy with the sound fullness and quality, surpassed my expectations given its size. Battery life is excellent also, but I'm also aware that these are early days for me. Very happy with the speakers.

Perfect portable speaker. Great sound, light weight, good connectivity and battery life. And got it at a great price during the pre- Black Friday sales!

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.

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!!!!

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.

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.

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’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.

I love this product! The sound is fantastic, portability is perfect and the waterproof feature is awesome for poolside listening, in the boat when fishing, camping or any other outdoor activity.

I love this small compact speaker. It puts out a good amount of volume but the clarity of sound is its best feature. Very satisfied with this purchase.
