    Like anything Bose, the sound is great. However, the speaker wouldn't charge so we returned it.

      Hi Michael,

      Thanks for leaving your feedback on the SoundLink Flex.

      It's great to hear you were impressed by the sound quality, but it's disappointing to learn you had problems with charging out of the box.

      When you buy Bose, you get a one-year warranty and lifetime technical support, so if something unexpected like this occurs, please consider reaching out to us first as it may require some simple troubleshooting.

      You can get in touch with our team here: https://bose.life/3ET4mCs.

      Kind regards,

      Jeff - Bose Customer Support bose
