Great speaker!
Bought this about a month ago for my husband who is dumb as they come as far as tech gadgets. He loves it! The easy pairing to his phone & quick hook up to Spotify has made his days much more enjoyable.He loves the sound quality, the portable easiness, he can attend meetings on the go in the skid steer or other equipment with ease. He loves being able to multitask! The only thing he doesn’t like is there is apparently no volume control on the speaker. But he said it’s no problem to use his phone to accomplish this.

Great for hearing impaired
I purchased the Bose SoundLink flex Portable Speaker (2nd Gen) for my Aunt who doesn't hear very well and she loves it. She can now work in the kitchen and talk hands free and hear when someone's texting or calling. She just loves it!

A big little soundbox!
I have had this for three weeks. Simply stated, it’s a giant in a small body! I am a fan of classical music, and the Soundlink delivers full, nuanced sound, no matter the source: playlist, YouTube, PBS video, opera on HD.
For the price, Bose quality never disappoints.

Great Speaker
I replaced an older Sony with the Bose for the golf course and works quite nice at home with vinyl. Definitely the upgrade I was looking for.

Bose SoundLink Flex Gen 2 Speaker
The Bose SoundLink Flex Gen 2 is a solid choice for anyone looking for a portable speaker that doesn’t compromise on sound quality. Here's my breakdown:
Sound Quality:
The audio is impressively well-balanced, offering deeper bass compared to the JBL. Bose has nailed the clarity and richness of sound, making it ideal for both casual listening and small gatherings.
Portability:
While my Bose SoundMax delivers a richer audio experience, its bulkiness makes it less practical for travel. The SoundLink Flex Gen 2 bridges this gap perfectly. As a new parent, portability is now a priority, and this speaker’s compact size and excellent build quality are lifesavers when juggling a newborn and other essentials.
Packaging:
If there’s one area for improvement, it’s the packaging. It felt a bit underwhelming for a Bose product, where premium quality is the expectation. A little more attention to detail here would enhance the overall unboxing experience.

Incredible sound!
The sound from this speaker is unbelievable! I use it in my bathroom, in my office, in my living room to work out with, and I also use it when i am outside. Anywhere I use it the sound is just incredible. For such a small speaker.

Everything I wanted
I picked out this speaker as a birthday present to myself and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. The sound quality and overall build of the speaker is everything I could ask for. It being waterproof was a must for me and it showing that it can hold up to my steaming showers.

Always great sound
I bought this a month ago to replace my 10 year old (or more?) Bose Color SoundLink, which will be missed. I like the updated cable, upgraded Bluetooth, and new app options of this Bose Flex 2 SoundLink. Sound matches the older Bose, and the old “brick” style I owned from even longer ago! Ha! Glad to continue with you for my portable speaker needs.

No other speaker comes close!
This one is for my father for Christmas. I bought mine a few months ago and it goes everywhere with me. Incredible sound even for the road. I had to drive to LA a couple of weeks ago from Texas in a noisy truck and I could hear my books, maps, and music perfectly! I know my dad will be as thrilled as I am!

Travel partner
This speaker had the sound quality and flexibility I’ve been looking for. As a dad of 3 little ones that travels a lot we always need something light weight and compact to take with us as we enjoy music where ever we go. One thing I didn’t plan for was durability and the Soundlink Flex 2nd gen surely stood up to the abuse from the children throwing it around, falls, even juice and water spills. I loved that it didn’t take up a lot of space yet the sound quality was great. Even when we were outdoors in the parks and beaches it sounded great! We’ve found our new travel partner! Thanks!

Small in stature containing a massive sound
The Bose Flex 2 SoundLink is a remarkably small speaker that packs a ton of audible punch while on the go. I’ve bought numerous portable/Bluetooth speakers over the years, and none come close to this latest model from Bose! This speaker's footprint is less than a third of its bigger brother (the Bose SoundLink Max) and carries a minor lower register penalty from its diminutive size. However, the audio wizards at Bose struck the perfect balance between weight, size, and performance in my mind.
I’ve taken this speaker everywhere, testing it in numerous settings before posting this feedback. It joined me on my recent whitetail hunting trip on the eastern plains, saw the top of a 14,000-foot mountain on a backpacking expedition, and has flown coast to coast in my backpack while on business travel. This speaker has been a fantastic travel companion and hasn’t slowed me down one bit. If you are hunting for a focused sound, place the speaker upright towards your seating position. However, if you want a more room-filling experience, laying it down (speakers firing up) gives the best experience for this situation.
Let’s talk about some musical choices used during this evaluation. I gravitate towards Metalcore, Rock, and fairly bass-heavy musical styles. As alluded to earlier, the larger SoundLink Max digs deeper, but the trade-off is a significantly heavier speaker (not to mention a much more significant dent in your wallet). One of the first songs I usually try is Post Malone’s Rockstar to see how low a speaker goes, and for this tiny speaker, it performed remarkably well. I then try Bullet to the Heart - Revanent (played in F key with a significant double bass kick). You can hear each distinct slap of the bass kick pedal, and they do not get muddied at all (unlike one of its competitors, the Beats Pill, which failed to produce the same distinction). I then switched to Written by Wolves - Goddess to hear how it handles Rock meets EDM music — fantastic! For a blend between metal and R&B, Jeris Johnson’s When the Darkness Comes fits the bill, and this was the most surprising experience. The Flex 2 SoundLink sounds fantastic during the lower beat hits post-chorus! Moving to slower music, Jelly Roll - I Am Not Okay tests against his signature growl and voice gravel. What an excellent little speaker!
However, I think my favorite use case is a bit of an oddity — it is FANTASTIC for telepresence meetings (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, WebEx, and Amazon Chime). I tired of my smaller monitor-style speakers on my limited desk space, which admittedly is dominated by my 49” Dell monitor, MacBook Pro, and peripherals. Linking this Flex 2 SoundLink via Bluetooth was a snap, and it fits perfectly below the monitor. I could clearly hear all the meeting participants. Other participants told me that the built-in microphone also made my voice sound warm and inviting on their end of the call.
One small area that I would love to see more improvement is Bose’s newest Speaker Linking feature. It functions perfectly between two identical Flex 2 SoundLink models, but it does not work between dissimilar models within the same SoundLink family (for example, one Flex 2 and one SoundLink Max). I’m sure there is a reason why this doesn’t work, but I would love to have this functionality if possible.
