Powerful, Personal, Portable Flex Speaker
The Bose SoundLink Flex 2nd Gen speaker is hands down my favorite bluetooth speaker, though I do own the latest Beats Pill and love it for its capabilities. At present, I own eight of these 2nd Gen Flex speakers, one in each color variant. I do find that audiobooks, podcasts and spoken content sound best on the 2nd Gen Flex. Most Music does as well. Some reviewers report sound differences between the color variants. After initially suspecting this and repeatedly comparing the identical audio on each speaker, I found that the most likely explanation is how one is holding the speaker when audio is playing, as the audio does change based on the position of the speaker. Features I would like to see in the 3rd Gen model include: Much longer battery life. The technology and capabilities exist. The speaker is so excellent that paying a little more for much longer battery life, perhaps double, would be worth it. Lossless ability. When connecting the latest Bose Ultra headphones and even the Beats Pill to my iPhone with the Usb C to Usb C cables, each offer lossless streaming. The ability to connect the Flex to a CD player or some other audio device via the cable. There are Usb C to 3.5mm male and female cables on the market and this would be nice as I still have a small Bose CD player and plenty of CDs. While there are bluetooth transmitters such as the AirFly which make connectivity possible, direct wired connectivity is still nice for some of us. A detachable strap. The Beats Pill and the most excellent Bose SoundLink Micro 2nd Gen both offer a detachable strap. This would be a nice option for the Flex in the future. Pairing four Flex speakers in surround sound mode. While two Flex speakers are great in stereo, pairing four for surround sound would be next level great. The ability to change the volume of the obnoxious sounds the Flex puts out. I do like these sounds, particularly when the speaker connects to bluetooth. However, these are way too loud. The Beats Pill has the option of controlling the volume of its sounds. The same is true for the voice prompts. While some of the voice prompts can be disabled in the app, the volume cannot be changed. Even without these potential additions to a 3rd Gen Flex, this existing 2nd Gen Flex is a phenomenal bluetooth speaker that serves many purposes. The Alpine Sage color variant has been discontinued, as it was limited. However, the existing color options are excellent, particularly the Twilight Blue. Although the Flex and Beats Pill are both excellent and come down to personal preference when selecting one or the other, I would also go with the Flex if I did not have the luxury of owning both. In fact, I would go with the Flex over any other, even if it has yet to fulfill all its potential, which with the suggestions I mentioned for the 3rd Gen Flex, it would be an untouchable speaker. Highly recommend the 2nd Gen Flex to all reading this.

Bose Soundlink Flex 2
This Bose speaker is amazing, I have different speakers made by Bose all of them are great and I have never been disappointed by any of them, the only reason I have bought this one is for the size and robust design for travel. Easy set up it connected to all my devices straight away, the Bose app is brilliant it makes life so much easier, I knew from experience it would be good but the sound quality matches my larger and more expensive speakers, it really fills the room with Bose quality sound, very impressed. Great battery life, it will last the twelve hours they state and it does charge very fast. Easy to use, nice controls and a really nice design, there are plenty of different cases available for it from hard to carrying, I will be getting one of these for added protection but it is a robust speaker with dust and water prevention features so not a requirement. As for the price, I must admit I did get this discounted so it's easy for me to say how great the value is, but truthfully I would like to buy another one in the future so I can connect them together for an even better sound experience and if I have to pay the full price I will do so as I truly believe they are worth the money. Once again a fantastic speaker worth buying if you want great sound on the go or as your set up in the house. I hope your experience will be as positive as mine has been because I am chuffed with my purchase. Very happy.

Great Sound, Reliable Connectivity, and Excellent Battery Life
Great Sound, Reliable Connectivity, and Excellent Battery Life I am very impressed with this Bose SoundLink Bluetooth speaker. The sound quality is clear, rich, and powerful, with great balance between the vocals, highs, and bass. It easily fills the room without sounding distorted, even at higher volume levels. The Bluetooth range is also excellent. I can move around my home without the connection dropping, which makes it very convenient for everyday use. Pairing the speaker was quick and simple, and it connects smoothly to my devices every time. Another standout feature is the battery life. It lasts long enough for extended listening sessions, which is perfect for travel, outdoor use, or just enjoying music throughout the day without constantly recharging. Overall, this is a high-quality speaker that delivers on sound, range, connectivity, and battery performance. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable and great-sounding Bluetooth speaker.

Great little speaker with an amazing battery
I don't normally write reviews but this thing is fantastic. Bought this to replace the Bose color link that I've had for over 10 years so it was an obvious choice as that was always very good to me. Been testing the battery in my office the last two days, 10 hours on the same charge at about 15% volume and it's still at 70% battery. Sound quality is outstanding and rich with decent bass at lower volumes which is great for my little office. Full volume is pretty decent, wish it had a little bit more of bass on the higher end of the volume but still pretty good. Great mids and highs at any volume. That and the dust proof is essential for my woodshop when I'm out there so that is definitely a perk. As opposed to spending double the price on a Sonos it's great (Sonos would be better for larger spaces). Great speaker for the price point.
