Bose has launched the SoundLink Flex, a portable Bluetooth speaker with some rugged features and 12 hours of playtime. It is IP67 water and dust-resistant and has a pretty affordable US$ 149 price tag.
The SoundLink Flex comes with a rugged
design as well as some astonishing audio output for a speaker of such compact
size. The Bose SoundLink Flex is 7.9 inches wide, 3.6 inches high, and 2.1
inches thick. It weighs just 1 pound (450 grams), with a built-in utility loop
for attaching it to a carabiner. The Bluetooth speaker’s silicone back and
powder-coated steel grille are designed to resist corrosion and possible
discoloration from ultraviolet light. The IP67 rating means that the speaker is
pool-safe and will float to the surface when dropped in water.
The built-in mic of the SoundLink Flex can
be used for taking calls and supports Voice Assistant interfacing with your
smartphone. The Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speaker can be linked with other
units for enhanced sound output. With its custom transducer, the device can
produce good sounds and the PositionIQ feature enables the speaker to adjust
the audio output according to the speaker’s orientation.
Three color variants are available namely:
black, blue, and smoke white. The Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speaker seems
to be well-priced at US$ 149 although there are already some popular Bluetooth
speakers from different brands. Bose will however hope the great features and
affordability of the SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speaker will stand it out among
its competitors.
