Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Portable Speaker, Wireless Waterproof Speaker for Outdoor Travel—Stone Blue

Amazing sound for such a small speaker and no noise complaints from neighbours! Perfect for chilling in the garden, and I love taking it on holidays and weekend getaways too. Easy to use, great battery, and classic Bose quality

This bose speak is very impressive - its sound from such a small speaker is tremendous. The bass is lively, the midrange and treble is all there too.Battery life is fab, have only charged it once and used it for a few hours and its on 70% (it tells you this when you power it on).I like the way it connects very fast to Bluetooth on my phone, its almost instant.The back and around the edges is like a softer rubbery kind of feel and two bumps on its length at the bottom act as feet so it can lay down and face you to give you sound.Outdoors its really impressive, if fills a huge garden area, so you have to watch the sound levels so as not to annoy people.The performance of some other speakers I've tried (friends speakers) are bass overkill and are much larger. This Bose is spot on, it's got a lot of feeling and bass without being overwhelming to the point of needing to turn it down, and for such a compact speaker I don't know how they've managed it.We sometimes hang it off the door handle to give an ear height to the speaker when in the garden sat down.Easy to charge via a usb type c cable.Apparently it's ok to get it wet, I haven't tried this yet of course!Overall, I would not change this for anything else. Fits in a rucksack or bag easily due to its compact size, and feels substantial as it weighs 586grams - this thing won't blow over in the wind.Awesome, love it.

Great speaker for working around the house, in the garden or out in the garage. No issues pairing it to my iPhone or iPad. Simple to use and the sound quality and volume are fine, bearing in mind is a small battery powered speaker. I have several Bose headphones and bought the speaker because I have never been disappointed with their quality.

Amazing, powerful, portable, lightweight. This speaker is great for backpackers or hikers. It is also waterproof. Long lasting battery life and connects easily to any phones.

I am very impressed with this small BOSE unit.The Bass on this unit is particular good and it’s a great improvement on my old BOSE unit, which incidentally just died after 10 years. Connects easily to all my Bluetooth units and it holds the charge for ever! Overall very impressed highly recommended. Good unit to take away and also reasonable price at around the £100.00 UK mark.

I did lots of research before deciding to buy this speaker. I looked at all the competitors in the price range. And watched sooooo many videos it made my decision harder lol. But I wanted all the things this had to offer, so here is my review of the Bose sound flex. It's sturdy, in fact I was surprised at the robust feel, once I had it in hand, firstly, it connected to my Samsung phone very quick, the Bose app didn't really offer much in the way that I thought it would, that being said, the Bose app let's you connect two of these if you have them, giving you a party mode option, but not much more.When you power on the device it tells you how much battery life it has ie: battery at 80% and then tells you which device it's connected to, which is a small but handy thing to know. You can place and receive calls, I have tried this and the sound was clear and precise. I have had it a varied volumes and played a mixture of music, it wasn't distorted even at max volume, and still sounded great, it's loud you could easy have a group of people for instance at a BBQ, and this would perform brilliantly, the bass is perfect, I have found the battery has lasted for more than enough for what we use it for, it's waterproof, I know this as I had it balanced on the side of the bath listening to an audio book, and it fell in, and just to add it floats lol. Charge time was around an hour from 40% you can skip songs or re-play from the top of the speaker. I am very pleased with this speaker. Hope this helps you decide on your future purchase.

I was initially looking at the Bose Portable Smart Speaker but after listening to it in a local electrical store was not impressed. They also had the SoundLink Flex on display and I was amazed at the depth of sound that comes out of this little thing, which in my view sounded better than the more expensive offerings. It won't compete with a home speaker but for a portable it takes some beating for the overall tone. Granted it's not a smart speaker but I can live with that on the basis it's portable and I'm going to have my phone with me to use it, so can access a voice assistant through that if needed. This can be linked up with other Bose speakers (I also have a Bose Home Speaker 500 and it pairs effortlessly through the Bose Music App for that device) for group play if you want to have it in another room and sync the music from your main unit. It uses the Bose Connect App but the only reason I can see for using this is to link it to other speakers in the SoundLink range as it doesn't appear to do much else. I struggled to connect the speaker to my phone via Bluetooth initially and this appears to have been caused by me having the Bose Music App installed for another product. As soon as I uninstalled this the SoundLink Flex connected with no issues (as it did on other devices without the Music App installed) and having re-installed the Bose Music App since everything seems fine. I've given 4 stars purely due to the App issues and it not having an equaliser but apart from that it's a great little speaker. My advice would be to lay it on it's back rather than stand it up and in my view it sounds a lot better in that position.
