Looking for a speaker you can toss in your bag and bring anywhere? The Bose SoundLink Flex might be the one. But does it still perform well in 2025?
🔊 Sound Quality
Despite its compact size, the Flex delivers impressive clarity and depth thanks to Bose’s proprietary positioning technology. It auto-adjusts based on orientation — standing, lying flat, or hanging.
🔋 Battery Life
You get up to 12 hours of playback, which is solid for a speaker this size. It charges via USB-C, making it travel-friendly and future-proof.
💧 Durability
IP67-rated, the SoundLink Flex is waterproof, dustproof, and even floats. It’s made to survive hikes, drops, and rough conditions without a hiccup.
📱 Connectivity & Features
Bluetooth 4.2 may sound dated, but it remains reliable for single-device streaming. It also includes a built-in mic for calls and voice assistants.
✅ Pros:
- Great sound for the size
- Extremely durable and waterproof
- Lightweight and portable
- Auto-orientation sound tuning
❌ Cons:
- A bit pricey for a compact speaker
- Older Bluetooth version (4.2)
💡 Final Verdict
If you need a compact, rugged travel speaker with Bose-quality sound, the SoundLink Flex is still one of the best picks in 2025.
