Bose® SoundLink Flex rugged Bluetooth speaker | Crutchfield

The SoundLink Flex, or the "Bose Flex," as we've been calling it, is an elegant but tough portable speaker that delivers beautiful sound anywhere you take it. It's dustproof, waterproof, and delivers the big, balanced sound you'd expect from a Bose speaker. It even floats!

We gave one to Crutchfield advisor Dylan, who took it with her everywhere she went for a week. She used it around her house, by the grill, and she'll tell you what she thinks in the video. The Bose SoundLink Flex is IP67-rated, making it dustproof and waterproof. It's outer body is made from silicone to absorb bumps, and it has a fabric loop with a carabiner for hanging and carrying. It's ready for any adventure big or small.

Bose has always been able to get big sound from small speakers, and their signature sound shines through in the SoundLink Flex. Their DSP, or digital signal processing, really helps optimize the sound. The speaker can detect whether it's lying flat, horizontal, or vertical and automatically adjust the output to sound its best in each orientation.

My very first BOSE. This is the real stuff.

My first Bose speaker and I’ve owned JBL before, but I think this finally made me switch.
Loving the sound and battery life is great 👍

I’ve had so many speakers over the years, each getting better and better. This took the bar to another level entirely. I gave the the Bose Micro to my mom and I’m considering selling my Revolve +. I just need this speaker. It’s so awesome. I have a clear tpu case on it that can turn it into a shoulder strap.

Nice review ..

Position I.Q changes frequency output .. Lying flat it boosts highs & lows slightly ..

👍

Can you run three together? 2x Flex and 1 x Micro ?

[Kulvinder]

I’ve got the Bose sound link colour, I love the sound stage on that and the base response, well, what can I say?… It’s Bose! I also love the way the base is rolled off as you increase the volume.

Great little speaker.

Please Read This:

Bose needs to do better as a company and actually innovate with the speaker technology and also have support representatives available to support and answer their customers questions.

Plus the speaker apps and portable speaker apps and headphone apps are buggy and outdated. Why is bose letting the competition get ahead and surpass them?

The speaker technology is adequate compared to the competition and the apps are buggy and suck compared to some of the competition like sonos and JBL. Bose just needs to do better. I as the customer should not have to point this out.

I hope the bose staff isn’t getting like the teacher shortage where you guys need too much help.

That’s my personal opinion. Not trying to come across as rude or anything.

Get to playing music so people can actially hear how it sounds. Get to that part. Because it's to high a price right now. Yoir yakimg to much !

Please do your research. Position IQ is not what you think and talk about. Otherwise an ok review.
