🚀 Abunda's Overview

This is our summary and key points to consider based on customer reviews.


The Bose Soundlink Flex Portable Speaker consistently impressed reviewers across the board with its high-quality sound, sturdy build, excellent battery life, and easy portability. Users specifically highlighted the device's well-balanced and rich audio, which stood out even among rival portable speakers. The speaker's ability to display battery life on an iPhone widget, and its app compatibility were also praised. Note that it also functions remarkably indoors, especially when placed near a wall or corner.

Pros

  • 🔊 Excellent sound quality with good balance between treble, mids and bass.
  • 🔋 Outstanding battery life, with a visible battery life indicator on an iPhone widget.
  • 🧱 High-quality build that feels strong and durable.
  • 📲 Easy Bluetooth connectivity and app integration.
  • 🏠 Performs impressively when indoors or placed near a wall or corner.

Cons

  • 🔌 The included USB-C charge cable is described as super short.
  • 🌳 Its outdoor performance might be underwhelming when compared to its indoor performance.
  • 💲 More expensive than comparable products like the JBL Flip 6.
  • 💼 Though small and portable, it lacks a built-in clip, opting for a nylon loop instead.

Should I Buy It?

Yes, if the superior sound quality, long battery life, robust build, and ease of use matter to you, the Bose Soundlink Flex Portable Speaker is definitely worth the extra dollars it commands compared to its competitors. It may not be perfect for outdoor use at large gatherings but excels as an indoor speaker. It's an investment that you're likely to enjoy over several years of usage.


  • Well Worth the Investment Due to Good Quality and Design
Color: Black
This speaker was the second replacement I purchased, and I am glad I did. In stark contrast to the first one I bought, this unit is solidly built and well constructed. It feels and looks very sturdy and doesn't give me the impression that it will be easily broken or damaged. The design is better than that of other speakers I've owned in the past. It has a good, broad surface area, so the sound isn't at all tinny, and due to its shape, it does not fall over, even if put onto a softer surface. Getting it paired to my device was fairly easy. I like the layout of the buttons. I really did not expect a speaker this size to sound great. I wasn't in the market for something that could dominate an outdoor party, so this would have been tolerable. However, I am very pleased with the sound quality. It's neither too tinny nor too heavy, and I find it works just as well for music as it does for other audio. Mainly, I use it in my room to read audio books, and it does a good job; I'm sure it would be quite a nice choice for those of you who actually are looking for something to use outdoors. To get that good sound from it, you don't have to blare the volume or turn it too far down, and the sound quality is superior to that of some larger speakers. There are a couple of other nice features I sincerely appreciate. First, I frankly find it obnoxious that when you turn on many speakers, or turn them back off again, for that matter, they play an annoying, little bit of music that is far too loud and impossible to disable. I'd rather have them simply beep, if that much, or do as this one does and give you the percent of battery power left. I like that this takes a USB-C cable--no more irritating, fragile micro USB for me. Its battery life is quite good, which helps me because I sometimes tend to forget to charge my things. Last but not least, this speaker is the only one I've had that beeps to acknowledge that it is charging when you plug it in. The sound is unobtrusive and quiet, which I prefer. Overall, you'll find this to be a very wise buy. You can get cheaper units, certainly, but spend a bit for this, and you won't regret it. ... show more

  • Simply great.
Color: Black
I have thoroughly enjoyed my entire ownership of this speaker. Time of writing this review is roughly 8 months after purchase, having used this speaker practically every single day since. This was a replacement for a very well-loved but somewhat lacking B&O (P3?) oval-shaped speaker that inspired of few of my must-have features. My key requirements in purchasing a speaker at this price point were: - Punchy, solid bass, with high accuracy, clear playback throughout most of the volume range - Relatively attractive, understated, simple design with ergonomic and intuitive controls - Easily oriented for high quality playback in a variety of different situations (facing sideways, upwards, at angles) - Long-lasting battery without any obnoxious constant playback interruptions informing you of battery life remaining This speaker delivers on all of these. The bass is incredibly clear, with no horrible warbling and distortion that’s very common with dozens of other similar speakers. The audio playback is very crisp and clear, with no noticeable quality losses. I’m sure it’s not perfect, but it’s more than adequate for 95%+ of people. Even at low volumes, the quality is still extremely high. There is a usable, enjoyable sound at every volume level. The design is simple, but handsome. It does not look obnoxious or out of place anywhere. It is just the right size, not too large to pop into a bag, and not too small as to have low-power drivers with poor sound. Very easy to transport. The squared design makes it very stable on most surfaces, but is still rounded enough not to get caught on things. The controls are very easy to understand, even the multi-device Bluetooth cycling and syncing. I have no complaints. The speaker works well for playback in nearly any position, especially when placed on a table or other nice playback surface. It can be placed facing upward, and the speaker enhances playback for all-around sound. When placed horizontally, the same happens for directional playback. Very impressive stability in a wide variety of situations. Some would consider the lack of a lanyard or string to be a downside for this point, but there is massive benefits to keeping this speaker on a surface. The battery life is incredible. Vastly longer than I had really expected for this speaker. With my personal usage (middle volume range, 2-3 uses a day for 30 to 60 minutes at a time), I usually recharge every 1-2 weeks. Not sure what exactly that equates to in real playback time, but I still find it impressive. The speaker will notify you at 20% and 10% battery level, which is exactly what I wanted. Many other speakers will interrupt playback at 75%, 50%, etc. I’ve not experienced any noticeable battery decay during my ownership, but I have only fully depleted and nearly fully recharged the entire time, with no “filling up” in between. Downsides do exist, but most are inconsequential for me. - The audible indicators that inform you of which device you are connected to can sometimes feel a bit sluggish, especially with long device names. - I feel the price point is still a bit on the high side for the value, but I feel I’ve more than gotten my money’s worth. I just like a good deal. - Volume occasionally spikes very high in certain scenarios when switching between devices, but is fairly easily turned down after a quick scare. I would highly recommend this speaker to anyone in the market for a speaker at this price point. This is an especially good deal on sale. If you’re still reading at this point, just get the damn thing on the way. ... show more

  • Big Sound, Easy Connection, Small Size
Color: Stone Blue
I’ve had this speaker for about six weeks and have only positive thoughts. The sound can blast through my house or back yard, it holds a charge, as since the first charge, I have only hooked it up one time. It announces how much charge is remaining and what it is connected to when you power it up. It connects quickly. I really enjoy the Blue Stone color. I have used it all over the house including at the end of the shower (not in the water as it is NOT waterproof). The size makes it easy to put in a bag to carry and it feels like it is well made (not fragile). I am considering buying another one because apparently you can connect them together within range! I bought it for $99 during Prime Days, but even at regular price $130 I think, it is a great deal. If I have any issues in the future, I will update this, but so far SOOOO GOOD! ... show more
