I was unhappy about the set up. Instructions use different symbols than on my handset. Sound excellent.

Pleased so far, sounds great, connects to my iPad and iPhone quickly. My only complaint is that it falls over backwards pretty easily, not really a problem, just a minor annoyance.

A recent purchase to update the 1st generation. Much easier to connect to Bluetooth?a pleasant surprise! I hear a more defined and articulate bass (I listen almost exclusively to Classical) so I know how much is dependent on the recording engineers but this speaker tries its best to compensate for what might be lacking.

I bought this from Bose's refurbished line, as it represented such excellent value for money. Surprisingly deep & punchy base & very strong & durable. Easy to set up using the app. Absolutely unmarked. You really wouldn't know it was "used". Thank you.

I bought these speakers on the advice of the salesperson at JB HiFi with the information that the two speakers would pair with ease and have a stereo effect. I was told the sound was great. Well it didn't happen. No matter what I tried over a period of a week there was no way I could pair them. The sound was good but I could not find anyway to pair them even looking at tutorials or contacting Bose support. I explained to their chatbot and no solution was offered which was disappointing as I thought I might have been offered two new speakers with the possibility I had purchased a dysfunctional unit. Instead I bought two JBL's and they paired immediately. Very very disappointed!

When I try to include an image of the base I added to your badly designed speaker (to prevent it from tipping over) this form gets all glitchy. Sound is good, but everything else sucks.

This little brick has no business sounding this good. The Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) is compact, tough as nails, and absolutely pumps for its size. Deep, punchy bass without the muddy nonsense, crisp mids, and highs that cut through whether you're indoors, outdoors, or halfway into a backyard session. Build quality? Proper solid. It's waterproof, dust-proof, and feels like you could accidentally boot it across the room and it'd still keep playing. Perfect for the beach, the shed, camping, or just moving from room to room without babying your gear. Battery life is rock solid - chuck it on in the morning and forget about charging until later. Bluetooth connection is fast and stable, and it pairs cleanly without drama. No fiddling, no tech headaches - just connect and go. Bottom line: If you want big sound from a small, rugged speaker, this thing absolutely delivers. Classic Bose quality, turned up a notch. Big sound. Tough build. Zero regrets.

Needing a new portable speaker I decided to get the Soundlink flex. Seeing the 2nd gen was on sale made it even better. Bose delivered from the start - bought a.m. one day, delivered p.m. the next. Absolutely stunning service. Setup was a dream - although I had an older Bose app for my headphones, the speaker was picked up by Bluetooth immediately and then it told me I needed a newer app so it sent me off to the app store. Connection was simple, fast and no hassles. No wonder I am a Bose fanboi. The sound from the speaker is great - recognising that it is not a stadium speaker the sound and range it has is impressive. Bass is enough to be enjoyable and the volume is enough for me. Whilst it's not going trekking or in a wide open place it will be used in my garage and around the house so the volume is fine. The range of the bluetooth connection is good too, so your music don't stop if you walk away with the phone. I like the way you can hear the battery level by pushing a button. My only concern, after using it for a couple of hours, is that the base is a bit small and it can be tipped over easily. I am using it in a mechanical workshop so it will be moved about the bench and it has already done a swan dive off a small ledge. I'll just need to be mindful but wider feet might be better. End result is a happy customer with a new speaker.

I am really enjoying the soundlink flex 2 !! After researching blue tooth speakers off and on for a year, I finally chose Bose. Awesome sound and easy to carry on long trips. There are plenty of accessories on the market also for this speaker. I also chose to order directly from Bose because of the added perks !!!

I bought for my husband. He had a Bose speaker before. Sadly, it fell out of his ups truck and was driven over. This new one is small enough and lightweight with great sound

A Positive Response
By Anni C.
Excellent sound. Heavier and larger than expected but still eminently portable. Solid. Looks good. Love the colour (blue).
Great sound
By Papa
Great sound and volume but needs some type of tabs so can stand upright. But very much satisfied.
Press play and go further with the Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker (2nd Gen). With surprisingly big, bold sound in a super-packable size, it’s perfect for sharing tunes and good times anywhere on the planet. It’s built durable, too, so you can go wherever the beat takes you.

High-fidelity audio and deep bass for a Bluetooth speaker this size make it loud enough to fill the space wherever you are on your journey. It’s perfectly portable, too. Small enough to fit in your hand, throw in your pack, or clip to the outside with the nylon sport utility loop. And you’ll keep the dance party going into the night with up to 12 hours of battery life.
