Who is the Bose SoundLink Flex for?
The Bose SoundLink Flex is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts who want an IP67 dust—and water-resistant speaker for hiking, off-roading, and summer beach picnics. It’s also a good choice for shower singers who will use the SoundLink Flex’s waterproof rating to belt out their favorite tunes while in the shower and keep easy access to virtual assistants.
Does the Bose SoundLink Flex have an aux port?
No. The Bose SoundLink Flex only works via Bluetooth and there is no aux port.
Can you pair two Bose SoundLink Flex speakers?
Yes, you can pair two SoundLink Flex speakers together via the Bose app by using either Party mode (both speakers play in unison) or Stereo mode (both speakers play as a stereo pair: one as the left speaker; one as the right).
This is solely my opinion so YMMV. But I like to think I have good opinions so trust me.
After a lot of buying, comparing and returning, I’ve concluded that the Flex is the best BT speaker in its class. The sound is very crisp and detailed with a slight bump in bass and prominent vocals. Gets loud enough but not too loud. This isn’t an audiophile speaker but man it’s nice to listen to, it just engages you.
However, I found the real magic happens when you pair 2 Flex’s in stereo mode. Holy shit. These bad boys produce the best stereo image I’ve ever heard out of BT speakers and can easily fill a decent sized room with rich, high quality sound at around 75% volume. Most BT speakers I’ve had tend to sound muffled, distorted, or harsh at higher volumes but not the Flex. The fact that these have a long battery life, IP67 rating and are shock resistant is just the icing on the cake.
The app kinda sucks tbh but I do everything with the physical buttons on the speaker and have had no issues.
I found mine open box at Best Buy and paid just over $220 for both after taxes but they’re worth their full price imo.
tldr: One is great but two is the best $300 you can spend on BT speakers right now. Better yet if you can find them on sale.
