Rated 5 out of 5 by from Always great sound I bought this a month ago to replace my 10 year old (or more?) Bose Color SoundLink, which will be missed. I like the updated cable, upgraded Bluetooth, and new app options of this Bose Flex 2 SoundLink. Sound matches the older Bose, and the old “brick” style I owned from even longer ago! Ha! Glad to continue with you for my portable speaker needs.

FAQs

What is multipoint connectivity?

What are shortcuts?

Shortcuts allow you to configure settings for the programmable shortcut button on SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen). You can manage your shortcut in the Bose app. Out of the box, the factory default shortcut is set to linking, allowing you to use the button to link two compatible Bose speakers without the app.

What options do I have for my programmable shortcuts?

You can change your shortcut button to be connected to your Spotify account to begin music at the press of a button, access your Voice Assistant, or other options that may become available with future firmware updates through the Bose app.

Can I use SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) to connect to a Bose smart soundbar or speaker?

Yes. Using Bose SimpleSync technology, you can connect to your SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) from a SimpleSync-enabled Bose smart soundbar or Bose smart speaker to extend the reach of your listening to other places in the vicinity, such as an adjacent room. You can manage SimpleSync in the Bose app.

Can SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) be used for phone calls?

Yes, when there is an incoming call, pressing the play/pause button will answer the call, and double pressing the play/pause button will decline a call. Double press the play/pause button while in a call to end it.

Does SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) float in water?
