My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: Bose SoundLink Flex
Bose has made speakers that have dominated the market since their release, and when it comes to mid-sized portable rugged speakers, the Bose New Soundlink Flex has been one of the best since its release in 2021 and is still very competitive three years later. Right now you can buy it for $119 (originally $149), which is the lowest price according to price trackers .
The Bose New SoundLink Flex is the middle brother between the oldest (but smallest) Bose SoundLink Micro and the youngest (but largest) Bose SoundLink Max . The Flex also hits a good middle ground between the two in terms of portability and sound, making it the best portable speaker for most people.
Flex is rated IP67 , which means it is completely protected from water and dust. The speaker even floats in water, so you can take it with you to the pool. According to PCMag’s review , although the companion app doesn’t offer full EQ settings, the sound it offers is clear, with rich bass depth and clear highs right out of the box. It also has a speakerphone so you can take calls and even talk to it thanks to the microphone. Even though it’s older, it comes with a USB-C charger so it charges quickly. Measuring 3.6 by 7.9 by 2.1 inches (HWD) and weighing 1.3 pounds, it’s lightweight and portable. Bluetooth 4.2 supports the SBC codec, but not AAC or AptX, so it’s more suitable for Android users than Apple users, but both options work.
The SoundLink Flex is ideal for those who want to take their speaker anywhere with its small size and light weight. And for the price, it offers some of the best audio content available.
