🚀 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.


  • A very nice portable speaker
Color: Black
Here's my very honest opinion about this particular speaker, the quality and build is premium, the connectivity is perfect, the charging system is also perfect because you can still enjoy your music while it's actually charging, the only real down side is the Bose connection app, it's extremely hard to get it to connect, however, you don't really need it because it will pair to your phone instantly, the sound is very good for it's spec's, I've already compared it to the JBL flip 6, and the JBL charge 5, all three are very nice speakers but the JBL charge 5 was the clear winner 🏆, everything about the charge 5 is just bigger, stronger and better, the Bose flex and the flip 6 was a better comparison, although the Bose flex doesn't have a app equalizer like the flip 6, I operate all of my earbuds and speakers through my 3rd party EQ app, you can make any speakers sound great it's all about the specs, the biggest specs will always win because you can almost adjust them to perfection, keep in mind, all songs are not engineered the same, some have a HD quality and some don't, you have to become your own engineer with your own preference of EQ adjustment, the Bose flex has a more balanced sound all across the board, the flip 6 has stronger highs that you may have to tone down and being that it's louder I feel it's a better outside speaker, the sound quality of the Bose is perfect for indoors, although it will sound decent outside, the JBL charge 5 is the better choice. All of these speakers can be paired to another speaker of it's series and the stereo effect will be great, however, we only buy these small sized speakers because of it's portability to easily carry around wherever we go, my favorite larger boombox speaker is the Treblab Max, everything about the speaker is great, absolutely no smaller speakers can compare to it's sound and output, the JBL charge 5 is the best overall performance portable speaker, the Bose flex is top choice because it doesn't really have any app support and straight out of the box it sounds great regardless of the volume, the JBL flip 6 is the better choice to connect to your bike, scooter, backpack, etc. You can't really go wrong with any of these speakers because they all have quality, it's all about what you are willing to pay to hear the same music through a bluetooth speaker. JBL and Bose, should be your only consideration, anything else, is just wishful thinking. ... show more

  • Love it! Small but mighty.
Color: Cypress Green
I got this when it was on sale, and I love this thing! The music doesn’t sound flat, and due to the equalizer settings of this speaker, I’m able to hear some instruments I wasn’t able to hear with headphones. Small but mighty. I will say however, this speaker does not have an equalizer you can alter. The equalizer built into it is purely to balance the audio based on if you have the speaker “standing” or on its “back”. I tried downloading the other Bose app, the one that lets you mess with equalizers of some products, to see and it wasn’t there. So the only equalizer you can use would be from what your music streaming service offers. But even with that, I still recommend this speaker for people that love music on the go, and for those who need a speaker in the car if they don’t have a dependable Bluetooth device hooked up to their car. ... show more

  • Great Speaker
Color: Stone Blue
This is my first high end Bluetooth portable speaker. It does not disappoint. It is very powerful, clear and extremely good bass. It connects quickly to my phone, in fact everytime I turn it on it audibly says my phone's name and that it's connected. It has a nice rubberized texture, a handy carry strap and easy to see controls. It adjusts the sound according to it's position to sound best. It did a fantastic job playing my favorite playlist on the beach while on vacation in Puerto Rico. My only dislike would be that it is a mono speaker and not stereo. And that the Bose app does not provide an equalizer function. Actually, I don't understand what the app is for since one can only control/change the music that is playing. I can do that through the music app itself, so that's not really needed. Other than that, it's a really good speaker. I enjoy it alot. ... show more

  • Amazing sound in small footprint
Color: Black
I have a JBL Flip 4 that I’ve had for 5 years; a very handy speaker with decent sound and long battery life. I was wondering about getting a different Bluetooth speaker and I heard one of these at work that a coworker brought in. It had really good sound in a small package with extra bass but not to boomy; just a nice overall sound field. When I got the speaker delivered from Amazon, I tested it out with a variety of different music. Whether the speaker is facing forward or straight up, It has nice clarity and dynamic range, good bass response and it also allows you to talk or respond to messages because it has a built-in microphone. It sounds very good with music as well as podcasts. It paired very fast and easily , I also like how it shows the battery life on your iPhone widget screen whereas the JBL does not. I also bought a JBL Flip 6 to try out but the sound difference between this and that is striking. This has much better sound than the Flip 6. The cabinet feels smooth and rubbery and soft and it still is a small enough size for portability. The sound is even better when it’s near a wall or corner as it amplifies the bass response. Such as on the kitchen counter. Overall I am extremely pleased with the speaker and I believe it has fantastic sound for the size - much better than anything of similar size. Battery life is stated as 12 hrs. Yesterday I was playing it for 2-3 hrs. at 1/2 volume and it decreased only 10%. One gripe is that the USB-C charge cable is super short, only 20” long. So I ordered a 3-ft. Cable. The build quality appears excellent, and wow I am still amazed by how good it sounds. It is more expensive than the Flip 6, but if I enjoy it more, and plan to use it for the next 3-4 years, that price difference is small. What can I say? I love it. Additional information: have noticed now listening to it a few days that when your head is higher than the speaker and it is aiming forward, there seems to be less audio clarity and more bass but when I lay it flat where it aims up, there’s better audio clarity for speaking, Podcasts or music. So it appears that whatever your head level is and where the speaker is can affect the sound characteristics. I have also noticed that placing it near a wall, or in a corner, or on a counter under the cupboards significantly adds to the bass response. Overall, it has excellent sound, good battery life, and seems like a great speaker. In fact, I dictated all this additional info text from the speaker microphone to my phone. ... show more
