Title: Big Sound, Easy Connection, Small Size
Review: Iâve had this speaker for about six weeks and have only positive thoughts. The sound can blast through my house or back yard, it holds a charge, as since the first charge, I have only hooked it up one time. It announces how much charge is remaining and what it is connected to when you power it up. It connects quickly. I really enjoy the Blue Stone color. I have used it all over the house including at the end of the shower (not in the water as it is NOT waterproof). The size makes it easy to put in a bag to carry and it feels like it is well made (not fragile). I am considering buying another one because apparently you can connect them together within range!I bought it for $99 during Prime Days, but even at regular price $130 I think, it is a great deal. If I have any issues in the future, I will update this, but so far SOOOO GOOD!

Title: The best small portable speaker that I know of
Review: I'm an audiophile, and I love speakers. And I am in love with this little speaker. It puts out huge sound with fantastic base. It charges fast and holds its charge quite a bit longer than I ever expect. It's great outside and even better inside. Its well build and very solid. It puts out a mono-signal (instead of stereo), but you would never know it; it sounds SO good.My one gripe is that it doesn't have a 3.5mm line-in port - which is a significant complaint for me - but this little speaker is so outstanding in every other way that it gets the full 5 stars.

Title: Simply great.
Review: I have thoroughly enjoyed my entire ownership of this speaker.Time of writing this review is roughly 8 months after purchase, having used this speaker practically every single day since. This was a replacement for a very well-loved but somewhat lacking B&O (P3?) oval-shaped speaker that inspired of few of my must-have features.My key requirements in purchasing a speaker at this price point were:- Punchy, solid bass, with high accuracy, clear playback throughout most of the volume range- Relatively attractive, understated, simple design with ergonomic and intuitive controls- Easily oriented for high quality playback in a variety of different situations (facing sideways, upwards, at angles)- Long-lasting battery without any obnoxious constant playback interruptions informing you of battery life remainingThis speaker delivers on all of these.The bass is incredibly clear, with no horrible warbling and distortion thatâs very common with dozens of other similar speakers. The audio playback is very crisp and clear, with no noticeable quality losses. Iâm sure itâs not perfect, but itâs more than adequate for 95%+ of people. Even at low volumes, the quality is still extremely high. There is a usable, enjoyable sound at every volume level.The design is simple, but handsome. It does not look obnoxious or out of place anywhere. It is just the right size, not too large to pop into a bag, and not too small as to have low-power drivers with poor sound. Very easy to transport. The squared design makes it very stable on most surfaces, but is still rounded enough not to get caught on things. The controls are very easy to understand, even the multi-device Bluetooth cycling and syncing. I have no complaints.The speaker works well for playback in nearly any position, especially when placed on a table or other nice playback surface. It can be placed facing upward, and the speaker enhances playback for all-around sound. When placed horizontally, the same happens for directional playback. Very impressive stability in a wide variety of situations. Some would consider the lack of a lanyard or string to be a downside for this point, but there is massive benefits to keeping this speaker on a surface.The battery life is incredible. Vastly longer than I had really expected for this speaker. With my personal usage (middle volume range, 2-3 uses a day for 30 to 60 minutes at a time), I usually recharge every 1-2 weeks. Not sure what exactly that equates to in real playback time, but I still find it impressive. The speaker will notify you at 20% and 10% battery level, which is exactly what I wanted. Many other speakers will interrupt playback at 75%, 50%, etc. Iâve not experienced any noticeable battery decay during my ownership, but I have only fully depleted and nearly fully recharged the entire time, with no âfilling upâ in between.Downsides do exist, but most are inconsequential for me.- The audible indicators that inform you of which device you are connected to can sometimes feel a bit sluggish, especially with long device names.- I feel the price point is still a bit on the high side for the value, but I feel Iâve more than gotten my moneyâs worth. I just like a good deal.- Volume occasionally spikes very high in certain scenarios when switching between devices, but is fairly easily turned down after a quick scare.I would highly recommend this speaker to anyone in the market for a speaker at this price point. This is an especially good deal on sale. If youâre still reading at this point, just get the damn thing on the way.

Title: Loud and Bass boosted 🙂
Review: I got this as a gift for my fiancé, not expecting too much of it, as his previous speakers had lasted a while, but had went down in sound and life quality, and thought this would be a decent upgrade and change for him. It was at least twice as better as I had anticipated. The sound is crisp, loud and clear, the bass is an added definite bonus. Only takes about 25 minutes to fully charge and can last well over 7-8+ hours in between uses. Itâs fairly easy to navigate and connect your phone to. Definitely worth the investment if you enjoy and frequent use your speaker, as there is an additional loop strap for a carabiner or any other type of clip on holder. 9.8/10! Works amazing!

Review: I'm absolutely loving my new Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Speaker! Here's what I like:- Portable: This speaker is so compact and lightweight, making it perfect for travel, outdoor adventures, or pool parties.- Clear sound: The audio quality is exceptional, with crisp highs and deep bass that impresses every time.- Long battery life: Up to 12 hours of playtime means I can enjoy my favorite tunes all day long.- Stylish: The Stone Blue color looks sleek and modern, fitting in perfectly with my outdoor decor.- Microphone: The built-in mic makes hands-free calls and voice assistant interactions a breeze.What I like least:- None! This speaker exceeded my expectations in every way.This Bose SoundLink Flex Speaker is a must-have for anyone seeking a reliable, high-quality portable speaker. Its durability, sound quality, and versatility make it perfect for any setting. I highly recommend. Value for money.

Review: Me encanta mi altavoz Bose. Ha mejorado mi experiencia auditiva porque la calidad del sonido es tan nÃtida y clara, como si tuviera sonido envolvente. Esto es sorprendente y excepcional dado que se trata de un dispositivo tan compacto. Se empareja con mi teléfono tan pronto como lo enciendo. Tengo que cargarlo todos los dÃas porque escucho música todo el dÃa, durante todo el dÃa. Usarlo para hacer llamadas también es muy bueno. El color lila también es muy bonito. Estoy muy contento de haber gastado un poco más y haber comprado esta marca y modelo. Me ha dado mucho placer desde que lo compré hace sólo 2 semanas.

Review: I've wasted so much money trying to find a good "cheap" speaker. I've bought them all and none of them are half as good as this speaker. As you are probably aware, bose has a unique sound signature and you can tell a bose speaker just by the tone, you don't need to see it. I've tried countless other speakers and to be honest, they all sound garbage when placed against this one. This thing is a beast - loud enough to fill a room, absolutely crystal clear lows, mids and highs, deep warm bass that doesn't overpower or overwhelm the total sound. Speakers usually come in 2 flavors - ridiculously loud, overpowering bass that sound terrible at low volume...or zero bass and tinny top end. Well this speaker is as close to flawless as you can get - it sounds just as good at low volume as it does when you max out the volume. The sound is so rich and deep without ever getting muddy or distorted, the separation of sounds is incredible, you can hear each and every instrument! Normally waterproof speakers are poor quality because the waterproofing muffles the sound, but not here - I don't know how bose did it, but they created the perfect portable speaker. It's so good I bought 2 so I can get stereo sound from them (the single speaker is obviously mono).Yes bose speakers cost a little more than the other brands but trust me on this, these speakers are 100s of times better than the rest. I really have lost count of the amount of speakers I've bought and none of them can hold a candle to bose - as the saying goes, nothing is more expensive than a cheap product. You get what you pay for and these are the best of the best. Your music deserves to be played on these - don't skimp on the speakers, these are the best money can buy so treat yourself, you deserve it. After the disgusting taste JBL speakers left in my mouth, it's nice to be able to have a proper pair of bose speakers!*edit* oh my God....I finally got my 2nd bose speaker and linked them up for stereo sound....it's quite simply the greatest set of speakers I've ever heard!! It immediately blows every other set of speakers I've ever heard right out of the water! Flawless, perfect, incredible...I simply don't have the right words to describe how good these speakers are. The 1 bose speaker sounded amazing...but linking 2 of them together just elevated it to a different dimension. It's like I'm hearing my music again for the first time, everything sounds absolutely phenomenal. Trust me on this, buy 2 of these and link them up. I will never, ever, buy another brand of speaker; these are THAT good!
Customers say
Customers like the sound quality, functionality, and build quality of the speakers. They mention that the vocals are clear, the instruments are clear, and the output keeps distortion low up until 80% maximum volume. Some also say it's portable and easy to use. However, some customers differ on the battery life and connectivity.
