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.

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.

Ratings and Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Mini brute I've only had it 2 days but am satisfied so far. Very good clarity and surprising bass for it's size. Sounds fantastic when paired to my Soundlink Max.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bose SoundLink Flex Gen 2 Speaker The Bose SoundLink Flex Gen 2 is a solid choice for anyone looking for a portable speaker that doesn’t compromise on sound quality. Here's my breakdown: Sound Quality: The audio is impressively well-balanced, offering deeper bass compared to the JBL. Bose has nailed the clarity and richness of sound, making it ideal for both casual listening and small gatherings. Portability: While my Bose SoundMax delivers a richer audio experience, its bulkiness makes it less practical for travel. The SoundLink Flex Gen 2 bridges this gap perfectly. As a new parent, portability is now a priority, and this speaker’s compact size and excellent build quality are lifesavers when juggling a newborn and other essentials. Packaging: If there’s one area for improvement, it’s the packaging. It felt a bit underwhelming for a Bose product, where premium quality is the expectation. A little more attention to detail here would enhance the overall unboxing experience.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Incredible sound! The sound from this speaker is unbelievable! I use it in my bathroom, in my office, in my living room to work out with, and I also use it when i am outside. Anywhere I use it the sound is just incredible. For such a small speaker.
