Don’t believe all the hype unfortunately
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so excited when I heard this speaker was coming out and the fact you could stereo pair with a second device for seamless left and right separation. However, after buying a second device for this purpose, it is anything but seamless. Whether you use the Bose Connect app to pair them or do it manually, it will take several attempts before it actually works (speakers will disconnect from each other at random) and sadly, audio cuts out between both which is very noticeable and happens frequently. I decided to look at RTINGS.com’s speaker review for this and saw that regardless if you have an iOS or Android, the out-dated Bluetooth version that it uses (4.2) has high latency for both which is very disappointing. I took both of them back and bought my first JBL speaker (Xtreme 2) and it’s phenomenal. What I find interesting is although it’s the same Bluetooth version (4.2), it works incredibly well. That said, the Xtreme 2 was released in 2018 and the Soundlink Flex was just two months ago.. Bose if you’re listening… you’re slacking. It’s almost 2022 and you’re using Bluetooth software from 2014 in not one, but in ALL of your products. A brand with it’s strong reputation and high price tag should offer a much better user experience for their customers.

Little size, Big sound
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sounds great. I didn’t expect for this little pill to sound this way. These smaller speakers are really out here shining. This is the smallest weatherproof speaker we own, so we will definitely be taking this along with us where ever we go. It’s compact, lightweight and easy to charge on the go. It also boasts a strap to tether onto something so it’s hands-free. Which makes this perfect. It’s made of super durable plastic and a rubberized surround. Which makes the unit much harder slip off of surfaces or out of hands, especially when wet. It has one large speaker on the front and a smaller one on the back. It’s sounds great orientated in both laying and standing positions but I like how the bass deepens slightly when resonating off of the surface when laying down. It fills the room. It was so easy to set up. You don’t need the app. Just go straight to Bluetooth on your phone after pressing the Bluetooth option on speaker. So you’re up and running in seconds. I did however use the app after that to see if it made a difference in setup. Honestly, it doesn’t so you can skip this step, especially if you don’t want to download yet another Bose app. They need to integrate their apps because I don’t see the purpose for me to have multiple Bose apps for their multiple products we own. The only use for the app that I can recognize is that it allows you to link multiple speakers, activating/disabling voice prompts and timers. The battery life seems reasonable. Charging the unit didn’t seem terribly bad either. Just like other products in the Bose lineup, the device will notify you of its battery life once turned on. I like that.

STEREO SPEAKERS!?!?!?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Perhaps one of the best portable bluetooth speakers of this size I have ever owned. USB-C is a major + for me as everything else I have is just that. I bought two to try out the party mode (some slight connectivity issues but nothing major) amd noticed a "Stereo" mode. It turned my speakers to stereo speakers (left and right speakers) AND I LOVE IT!!!

Posted .Hi Nathan! Your SoundLink Flex speaker will last for 12 hours at typical listening volume. Using the speaker at extreme volumes will reduce this to as little as a few hours. If you're having issues with volume, make sure the volume on your connected mobile device is also turned up. As for overall sound, the speaker's PositionIQ technology will adjust the EQ based on the speaker's orientation, e.g. horizontal, vertical, or on its back. Give this a try - there's nothing else you need to do to make these adjustments. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support

Bose App
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The main issue is the Bose App Sadly pairing 2 Bose speakers you will need to always use the Bose app. Yes it’s easy but the lag responsiveness to link 2 speakers successfully has issues. Will definitely return one. If you have the patience then buy 2 for stereo mode. Enjoy! =]
