Multipoint is a Bluetooth technology that allows your SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) to maintain a connection to two paired source devices at the same time. Your speaker will seamlessly transition between the two devices, so you’re always connected to the active source device.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) floats, but is not designed to be used while in water. SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) is designed to withstand accidental drops in water for up to 30 minutes. If SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) is directly exposed to salt or chlorinated water, rinse with fresh water and allow to dry thoroughly before use.

If debris gets into the charging port or other parts of SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen), gently rinse with fresh water or compressed air. Be sure charging ports are thoroughly dry before charging. For the larger exterior surfaces, wipe clean with a soft cloth. Avoid using cleaning detergents and let the speaker dry completely before operating.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best portable speakers ever! Love these speakers. I am a musician and am very picky about sound. These speakers go above and beyond the sound quality Iwas expecting. The base is phenomenal. They stay charged for a long time so I am not having to recharge every day. They make hanging out on the patio with friends especially enjoyable.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good job I use my Bose Flex speaker everyday. My morning ritual , coffee , listening to the news (on my Flex Speaker). The speakers portability , quality sound and ease of use and setup make the Flex Spkr great. I recently gifted my granddaughter with a Flex Spkr. She used that day outside while playing tennis with her brother. The Blue Tooth capabilities and recharging feature are a it plus. Good job Bose.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Bluetooth Speaker! The sound out of this speaker is way better than I would have thought The lows are deep and the highs are clear and clean!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Powerful compact speaker This is a pretty powerful little speaker. For its compact size it offers the Bose sound that I expected. It took little effort to set up/pair and control through the Bose app that I already have for QC Ultra headphones and QC Ultra Earbuds. I bought it for home use, to move from room to room to play streaming music, and for travel. I'm not an audiophile but I have always been partial to the signature Bose sound.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My new best friend I have not found anything bad with this device, it has amazing sound quality, base, treble and the bass down low or whatever Dev said. It's super loud with no muffling. I love the color i chose, it fits all stetics and color combinations. I haven't read up on it much but i wonder if i can hoook it up to a second bose sound link to have in a different place of the home. Anywho, bose has been in my family since i was a kid. Bose really be keeping up with the jonas brothers or whatever the right quote is.
