I rarely post reviews, but the Bose Soundlink Flex deserves a good review. I took a gamble with this as I thought I wanted the Sonos Roam, but I’m so glad I went with the Bose as the sound is fuller, gets louder, and you can slightly feel a little bass punch in your chest (it’s still a Bluetooth speaker, so don’t think it’ll rattle your lungs). If you’re thinking about getting the Bose Soundlink Revolve/Revolve+, don’t bother and get two of these instead – a stereo pair of Flexes will sound so much better and is $30 cheaper than one Revolve+. My mom listened to it and she was so enamored by it that I had to get her one for Christmas. You will not regret this purchase and you might find yourself wanting a few more! Heads up, there’s one speaker and one radiator for bass, there’s no L/R separation – it still sounds great as a singular speaker, but you will love having a stereo pair.

Great little speaker, I think this little speaker has amazing sound – but of course it does, it’s a Bose. This speaker is about 8x3x1.5 inches. Volume is pretty darn good also. I can’t say much yet about battery life, but I’ve played it for at least an hour and it says 70% charged still. I’d definitely buy it again.

My goal was to live by the following credo: All Bose, All the Time. I have some sort of Bose speaker in almost every room. And, I like to start my day with my favorite music. When I learned about the SoundLink Flex, I had to get it to replace the bluetooth speaker that was previously in the shower. Don’t get me wrong. That speaker was fine, but it wasn’t a Bose. The Flex is the perfect size to fit on the shower shelf and it sounds fantastic – even with the water running! I like to sing along in the shower and the mid-range vocals are strong and clear. There are certainly portable speakers that are less expensive, but I believe there are portable speakers that are better than this Soundlink Flex Portable Bluetooth Speaker.

The Bose speaker is an exceptional product, offering impressive sound quality with deep, punchy bass even at low volumes. Its ability to maintain rich bass without distortion at any volume is remarkable. The audio is clear, balanced, and immersive, delivering crisp highs, detailed mids, and powerful lows. The speaker is also incredibly loud, capable of filling large spaces with distortion-free sound, making it perfect for both casual listening and louder environments. Overall, it’s a fantastic investment, offering top-tier performance that’s well worth every penny.

I have a turntable in my home that I prefer to connect to a Bluetooth speaker so that I can move the speaker with me wherever I go @ home. That being said, I didn’t want anything to big and bulky but that has excellent sound quality. This little BOSE speaker checks all the boxes for me. Sound quality is amazing for its size. It has very nice and filling bass while pushing clear highs and clean mids. I really like this speaker. It sounds bigger/louder than it looks. It has great range, so I can move it around the whole place and never lose connection. It’s dust and weather resistant, so I also bring it out onto the balcony with us so we can enjoy our records. Battery life is very good. Only need to charge it about once a week if I use it everyday. It’ll work great with mobile phones, tablets or laptops also, but mine is a dedicated turntable speaker. It sounds good enough for me! I would buy it again, and highly recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a great sounding, take anywhere Bluetooth speaker.

3 weeks of ownership and I’m using this more than expected. Sound is great, better than I thought. Bass is better than expected for this type of speaker. For some reason the Bluetooth connection and features are better than any other speaker I’ve used in the past. It’s more intuitive. If I’m listening to music and get a call, it will pause the music and allow me to take the call on my phone, not automatically transfer the call to the speaker like others do (I prefer to take calls on the phone). Battery lasts a long time and charges quickly. Indoors it’s definitely louder than expected, I don’t dare turning it up all the way. I use it to connect to my surface for teleconferences as it’s louder than my built in speakers. You won’t be disappointed.

After heavy research on competitors(mainly jbl and soundcore), I decided to go with the Bose since it sounded the best to me and people generally agreed it was superior. I’ve been using it for a few months now, and it’s a phenomenal speaker for its size. I didn’t expect it to pack this much punch, comparing it to prior Bluetooth speakers I’ve owned. Don’t get me wrong this doesn’t have an 10” woofer that’s about to rock your house, but it can definitely fill a bedroom and is perfect for background listening. Don’t expect it to sound phenomenal if you crank it up tho. Most of the bass disappears at about 85-90% volume, however this is pretty loud and I have almost never needed it up that loud. Do note, I think they came out with a gen 2 of this speaker. I don’t really know anything about it, so maybe do some research before you immediately buy it to see if it’s worth the extra cost. I’m happy with mine and have no intentions of upgrading.
