Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker 2nd Gen (Sandstone)

Great sound but after owning for sometime now disappointed in app stability,sometimes doesn't connect properly and I find battery goes flat unless used regularly. Have checked operating manual and settings to no avail. Other brands i have don't have this problem.

Speaker works fine - awesome bass for its size, clarity is very crisp, and the app works seamlessly to adjust equaliser settings. It connects very easily to two devices, and has a very long battery life at a relatively high output. I’m very happy with it.

Excellent product, bought 2 for stereo and it’s mint

Great speaker, very powerful, the colour's great and it sounds amazing

I bought the pair of speakers as a gift, which was well received. As with my over the ears headphones the quality is exceptional and functionality great. Would definitely purchase again.

Really happy with this Bose SoundLink Gen 2 speaker. The sound quality is clear and powerful, and the bass is surprisingly good for a speaker of this size.

This speaker was recommended to me by a very helpful customer service attendant and it’s been amazing! I bought it in Oct on Black Friday and I have not had to charge it yet! Its sound quality is great and looks cool in this colourway. Thank you to that guy from Doncaster JB (vic) I am glad I trusted you haha

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.

This speaker although not as loud as my JBL equivalent, it's sound quality from low to high frequencies is excellent.

Wow! I baught a second speaker to replace a Sony mxcd3, which is failing. the Bose portable smart and old pair of original bt-soundlink headphones, had me thinking bose for sound nad perhapsconnectivity was the answer. Not so... the unit seems overly large and for me the most sound comes from the right half with power button on top left. Can't sybcronize music playback between my smart and flex: even thogh they play in stereo (for 4 seconds) they give that away and then its party mode and I can't even use the smart speaker to control the group. I am considerably underwhelmed both by the size of the flex 2nd-gen and its lack of connectivity: so far as I am concerned, I should have spent my money on anotherbrand of speaker. Sound is good but that is all.

A replacement for my old Soundlink which was good but this is so much better particularly as it now has the app. Only thing I miss from the old unit is the aux-in but the connectivity is good. I also like the voice prompts re battery and connection. I like have eq on the app but three band is pretty basic - I would have liked more control.

Good product for the price ; although the battery life is poor and takes way too long to charge . Making this product not very mobile .

It looks beautiful. For its size it packs a punch. I've got two Maxi's in a more permanent stereo set up, but the flex is perfect for travel or moving round the house. Sound is far bigger than it looks, including bass.

I recently purchased the Bluetooth Bose speaker in blue as a gift for my father, and I couldn't be happier with my choice! The sound quality is outstanding, delivering deep bass and clear highs, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor use. Its waterproof feature is a game-changer—whether he's by the pool or taking it on camping trips, I know it can handle splashes without a worry. The design is sleek and modern, and the blue color adds a stylish touch that stands out. Bluetooth connectivity is seamless, allowing for easy pairing with his devices. The battery life is impressive, lasting for hours on a single charge, which is great for long days outdoors. Overall, this speaker has exceeded my expectations and has become my father's go-to for music. Highly recommend

Great sound. Nice looking. Compact. Great colour. Can’t wait to try in various places. See how the sound goes. Like how you can wipe it over to clean.

Bose soundlink flex gen ii- Have owned for around 12 months approx and still feel to my ears has the best balanced audio ( but has one hidden flaw) Over a period of time and manually turned off the battery goes flat i own 3 other well known brands and none of them have this problem,however if used regularly you probably wouldn't pick this problem up.Have read some forums and seems to be a known problem obviously i wasn't aware of this apart from this niggle I do like this speaker.

The quality of sound from his little speaker is amazing. The sales guy recommended the Bose over all the other brands and I'm not disappointed! Battery time is great if you don't crank it at full volume the whole time. Fills a medium sized room with decent bass, especially if you place it on the floor!

Bang for buck, and in such a versatile size, nothing comes close to these Bose speakers. Incredibly deep bass, rich tones and superior clarity are just the start - combined with excellent battery life and neutral colouring, they are unmatched.

I have a 1st gen which I use regularly and when I saw the 2nd gen I had to have it, it is brilliant, well doen!

Nice and light weight with decent sound ——————————-

Had for a little while. Very happy with purchase. Value for money. Sound wise it punches way above its weight grade.

I had previously had a different brand of speaker and the battery was always becoming the issue. I have Bose stereo speakers and know they are sensational so I purchased the SoundLink Flex Portable and I am more than happy that I did. Sounds great, looks great and feels great!

We love the sound from these linked Bluetooth speakers. So pleased to have bought them. Bass and treble control is so good on such small speakers

I’ve been really impressed with the Bose Flex 2. The sound quality is outstanding — rich, deep bass with crisp highs, and it gets even better when paired with another unit for stereo. For a speaker this size, it easily fills a room or outdoor space without distortion. Love that it now charges via USB-C — finally! Much more convenient and modern. The only downside is the battery behavior. It’s a bit unpredictable. Sometimes it lasts well over 10 hours, other times it drains quicker than expected even with similar use. Not sure if it’s a firmware thing or a battery calibration issue, but it’s something Bose should look into. Still, overall, this is one of the best-sounding portable speakers I’ve used. Just wish the battery life was a little more consistent.

Bought it just over a week ago and I’m playing it all the time!

Very pleased with unit. Have spent many hours listening to my personal choice of music, very enjoyable and love its portability.

I bought this in the blue to compliment my living space and it looks nice, and sleek. I was replacing a previous Bose Sound Link speaker which mysteriously died after a few years, so I was apprehensive about purchasing another Bose product. When testing all the speakers in JB, the sound this produced was by far the most superior and impressive than any other brand there, for the price. This speaker absolutely thumps, I can't believe I'm actually saying this but there's actually too much bass. I have to turn the bass down on the equalizer in the app (which is handy) so I don't disturb the neighbours. Very impressive sound....not sure how long it will last though. Only criticism is it comes with a very short in adequate charging cable and I had to purchase a longer one so I wasn't charging it on the floor!

I purchased this around a month ago and so happy with it. Perfect size. Sound is great with a crisp and clear projection. I purchased another one and intend to take to our caravan. I also have Bose Soundbar as I love their quality.
