The Bose SoundLink Flex is a Bluetooth speaker sized for one hand, wrapped in silicone, and built to keep playing after you drop it in the sand, on a tile floor, or into the shallow end of a pool. The IP67 rating covers 30 minutes under a meter of water and complete resistance to dust. A single charge over USB-C keeps the speaker running for about 12 hours at moderate volume, which is enough for a beach day, a bike ride, or the length of any pool party you’d want to be at.

A portable speaker that’s perfect for taking on the go anywhere you travel to
IP67 protection means the SoundLink Flex survives 30 minutes submerged in up to a meter of water, and dust resistance blocks fine grit from getting inside. The silicone-wrapped body absorbs drops onto concrete or rocks that would crack a plastic housing. A metal speaker grill protects the front of the speaker, blocking the drivers from getting punched in during travel. The speaker also floats, so if you toss it into the pool by accident, it comes back up to the surface.
A custom-designed transducer plus two passive radiators drive the sound, tuned for the balance of clarity and bass Bose puts on its home speakers. PositionIQ technology automatically detects whether the speaker is standing up, lying flat, or hanging from the loop, and adjusts the sound output for the orientation. Bose SimpleSync also lets you extend audio from a Bose smart speaker or soundbar in another room to the SoundLink Flex. Party Mode pairs two units together for wider sound coverage.
