Bose has been making speakers that dominate your room since their release. When it comes to mid-sized portable, rugged speakers, the Bose New Soundlink Flex was one of the best since its release in 2021 and is still very competitive three years later. Right now you can get it $119 (originally $149), the lowest price available Price tracking tools. And it will arrive before Christmas.
The Bose New SoundLink Flex is the middle brother between the oldest (but smallest) Bose SoundLink Microand the youngest (but largest) Bose SoundLink Max. The Flex also represents a happy medium in terms of portability and sound, making it the best portable speaker for most people.
The Flex has one Protection class IP67which means you get complete waterproof and dustproof protection. The speaker even floats in water, so you can take it into the pool with you. Although there is no full EQ adjustment in the companion app, the sound it offers is clear with rich bass and clear highs out of the box, it says Review by PCMag. It also has a speakerphone so you can take calls and even talk to it thanks to the microphone. Although it is older, it comes with a USB-C charger so it can be charged quickly. Measuring 3.6 x 7.9 x 2.1 inches (HWD) and weighing 1.3 pounds, it is lightweight and portable. The Bluetooth 4.2 supports the SBC codec, but not AAC or AptX, so it is more suitable for Android users than Apple users, but it works for both.
Thanks to its small size and light weight, the SoundLink Flex is perfect for anyone who wants to take their speaker with them wherever they go. And for the price, it offers some of the best audio quality available.
