Speakers sound great. Trying to pair up using the app is a nightmare. I bought 2 so I could pair them up. Not worth the headache.

Hello,
We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the audio of your speakers. If you are having trouble enabling party or stereo mode in the Bose Connect app, do ensure that both your speakers and app are up to date with the latest firmware. You will also need to make sure that your products and Bluetooth device are within a 10m radius. It is also possible to connect your products in this pairing mode through the buttons on the speaker, for instruction on how to do this, follow this link https://bose.life/3X273ZP

The Bluetooth linking of two speakers intermittently blips, that is the only problem noted.

Wanted this for our outdoor Christmas party, but shipping was delayed. Got it in time for the New Year’s party and it performed as expected. Quality and rich sound. Battery seems to last a long time. Looking forward to having it on the boat.

I was given this bose soundflex speaker as a christmas present. It sounds great, highs and meds with bose characteristic sound and good bass for that speaker size. Good materials and quality. Works fast and reliably with bluetooth connected to my iphone. The only thing i miss is an aux 3.5mm connector. It works only over bluetooth.

Powerful little speaker!!

I bought this a few weeks ago and I am AMAZED. I've had a vehicle with Bose speakers, and a Sounddock and that's about the extent of my experience with Bose. The car, and Sounddock both sounded amazing and I really wanted to try their portable speaker. It did NOT disappoint. I am now a Bose customer for life, as long as the quality is this great! I cannot believe the sound that comes out of this little speaker.
It has some heft to it, which just makes it feel premium. It feels solid and well built. Play time of around 12 hours is accurate at a little over half volume. I also appreciate the USB C charging port so I don't have to carry around a proprietary charger.
I enjoyed it enough that I bought a second one so I can enjoy them in stereo mode!
My only concern is, when you leave it off, and unplugged it drains the battery. After sitting 3 days from being left fully charged, it'll be down to about 70% so it seems like it loses 10% each day it sits. Very odd. The other speaker is about the same, but not as bad. This is the only reason I'm rating it 4 stars, and not 5, because it really is an amazing speaker, but the discharge could be disappointing if you're expecting it to be fully charged and it isn't! If this is some sort of battery protection system to enable the battery to last longer, then I apologize and will redact my statement. I'm not sure.
