100% Best Sounding Super Portable Bluetooth Speake
on November 1, 2021
Posted by: MarysvilleMike
Gender:Male
Length of ownership:1 week
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm over the moon with this thing. Over the past year I have used: JBL Flip 4, UE Boom 3, Sonos Roam, and the Bose Soundlink Revolve.
Everything else is a pretender compared to the Revolve as far as sound quality goes, but the Revolve is not quite as porable as I want and still is stuck with micro usb.
I bought the Soundlink Flex on the day it was released because I needed something that I could tote around but I still wanted to have good sound at all volumes. The Flex is seriously the fullest and most articulate of all of the other choices. While the Flip and the Boom distort at medium/high volumes, the bose stays clear. The bass that it delivers is shocking for the size of this device too.
At times, I have this on my desk while I am at work, and it is turned to a very low volume as relaxing, background noise. It is still surprisingly full and articulate at those very low volumes as well. This is a huge feature that no one talks about, but the JBL and UE at very low volumes sound thin and weak. The Flex is so much better at any volume.
Even the Roam doesn't compare. The Roam came with so much hype and has only disappointed me. The Roam feels cheaper and frankly sounds far less premium for a much higher price. Save your money and get the Flex instead!

Amazing little speaker! My favorite Bose Bluetooth

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a long time Bose fan - even basing my last 2 car purchases on them having a Bose system. I have several pairs of headphones, home theater products, and almost every generation of Bluetooth speaker. The Original Soundlink Mini was my favorite, still, until I got this.
I'm amazed at this little thing - when you set it on a table, it resonates and fills the whole room with huge sound. Honestly, I don't think I've been this impressed with a small product's ability to sound so big since Bose brought out the Wave Radio.
I added an S-Biner to the loop so I can hang it up. When I'm cooking in the kitchen, I just hang it on a cabinet door handle or a hook from one of the pot holders and it's out of the way, but still sounds amazing.

Length of ownership:1 week
Bought this about 2 weeks ago, dies after 2-2 1/2 hrs on a 100% charge. Says up to 12 hrs, I'd expect at least 4-5 hrs of play at least! Not happy with this at all as I Bought this one due to up to 12 hrs play time. Very disappointed
Response from bose.comBy Nelson Penney, Global Customer Service, November 21, 2022
Hello, the Soundlink Flex should be able to go up to 12 hours on one charge and can be quickly recharged by its USB-C port.

Unbelievable Sound Quality

Length of ownership:1 month
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Sound is unbelievable and the size is ideal. Easy to pair and connect to my iPhone and Mac Air right out of the box.Has great 12 hours battery life and its water and dust resistance is an added advantage. This is the best sounding speaker I have ever had. The highs are crisp and the bass response is powerful and not muffled and the mic is great for zoom and taking phone calls. I use this speaker for my day to day work life to attend meetings over zoom calls. The app works great and it's pretty simple to connect. I love these speakers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The sound from this small unit is so amazing we would think it was from much large speakers. The bass is incredible
