Sound is good but it will not connect to my transmitter as my Bose Soundlink Color did. While I was very happy with the Soundlink Color it is old enough that the battery no longer stays charged & it sometimes gets a lot of static. This new one will only connect through my phone. I have a device that does not have bluetooth of it's own so I have been using a transmetter that I connected to the sound through the headphone jack. The Flex 2 just will not connect with it. As far as I am concerned the newer model is much worse that the older model & I am not at all happy with it! It is very light weight & easy to move but if it won't connect to my device then it may as well be the worst junk out there! The price is too high for a model that will not connect to a simple transmitter

Hi Kathy, thank you for sharing your experience with us. The SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker (2nd Gen) offers up to 12 hours of battery life at moderate volume, with reduced time at maximum volume, and a Bluetooth range of up to 33 feet (10 meters). Bluetooth disconnections can happen for several reasons, such as moving too far from the paired device, interference from nearby electronics like Wi‑Fi routers or microwaves, outdated drivers or firmware, or power‑saving settings that limit performance. Pairing with multiple devices at once or rare hardware issues can also cause repeated drops. Environmental factors, like crowded areas with many wireless signals, and mismatched Bluetooth versions may further contribute to connection issues. To improve stability, we recommend keeping devices close together, updating firmware and software, disabling battery saver mode, disconnecting unused pairings, and restarting both devices to clear temporary glitches. We’re sorry to hear you’re having trouble connecting to your transmitter, and we’d be happy to guide you through some troubleshooting steps. Here’s a helpful guide you can use: https://bose.life/4cHVn89 Jelyn - Bose Customer Support

Speakers will not pair
Great speaker, bought one then another to go stereo. Worked okay for a short while, now they will not pair. Have tried hard reset and every other suggestion on the Bose app, with no luck.

Good
Music is great from the speakers, but the app to help pair isn't great. Sometimes have problems linking the two speakers up

Great speaker
I buy Bose regularly online and have had great service and quality products, recently bought certified refurbished and all I can say is quality, even comes with 2 year guarantee, if it didn’t state certified refurbished on the box you would never know full marks

OK speaker, BAD company
Speaker is fine, BOSE is the problem. As owner of 2 of the previous iteration of PA systems (L system model II) I will tell you that they no longer carry the proprietary and ONLY cables usable to connect bass modules to their system. Product is less than 5 years old. This is bad business on the part of BOSE and why I will likely not purchase any further BOSE merch. Oh yeah, and they ditched all the support for the WAVE systems as well. Leaving previous customers high and dry is usually not a good long term corporate strategy.

Powerful little bugger!
This punchy thing has a rich, deep sound even when hanging off a backpack, and truly resonates when it's set on a solid surface. The sound is clear and detailed at all volumes which is what I have always cherished about Bose products.

Great Sound
I had the original color sound link that lasted almost 15 years and loved it so much. I needed a replacement and this is exactly what I wanted.

This is the second one of these I have bought as my wife kept stealing my original one so have bought myself another so that we have one each. For its price, its a great bit of kit.
