An odd duck
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this is bizarre. I bought two of these and this one doesn't sound as good as the other. Buzzing, "tin" sounds very odd. Bringing it back to trade for a different one. Love Bose.

Little speaker, big sound
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This speaker can project over a group of chattering partygoers, or can play relaxing music at very low volume while you're sitting at your desk, both equally with great sound quality. I'm not a sound expert at all, I just like that it's a great size, it sounds good to me, it's easy to use, recharges fast, and last a good long time.

It's a Bose,need I say more?
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bose,the name speaks for itself,and of course,the Bose sound. Amazing! For it's size,this speaker does not disappoint. It's easy to use,you can hold it in one hand and easily control all the functions. Bluetooth connects fast and flawlessly. And the overall durability of this speaker, unbelievable. I dropped this speaker down a flight of stairs,about 9 steps in total,and it never missed a beat,I picked it up,wiped off the scuff marks and kept on jamming. Durable,waterproof,amazing sound, affordable. Nice work Bose!

Posted .Hello,
Sorry to hear that you have returned your speaker. In a typical usage, the SoundLink Flex battery lasts up to 12 hours. As with any battery-operated device, battery performance can vary based on a number of different factors. These include the type of content being played, the volume, and the surrounding temperature. Listening to music at less than 50% volume ensures a longer battery life, whereas increasing the volume past 65% of max decreases the life of the battery at a faster rate.

Horrendous Pairing Experience
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Get another speaker. The pairing function with iPhone is HORRIBLE, and causes many headaches when it decides not to be connected anymore.

I would recommend this to a friendDissatisfied loudness level
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as advertised. It is not capable of reaching the expected loudness. When used in Bluetooth the loudness lowers and is not capable of reaching high levels.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this product on sale literally 1 month ago and now it will not connect with any charger, so is effectively trash. Was great while it worked, but mine has never been subjected to water damage, extreme heat, etc. Kept it indoors and pampered for 1 month. Hopefully Bose will provide decent support since it is no longer returnable to *Best Buy.

No Bluetooth Connection
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far, no good! I can't get it to connect through Bluetooth. I've read all the instructions that came in the box, I've checked on the Bose website and Google. No luck! I'm returning it & hopefully they accept the return because I live 60 miles away so I can only get there when I go that direction, which is not often.

Not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Mediocre sound. Fast draining battery. And overall bad design and execution. Too many flaws to list. Buy the JBL instead.
