Hi! Thank you very much 4 d info. I´m thinking of buying one, so my question goes as follows. Can I use a USB port for listening to music? Any help is appreciated. God bless you! NIRVANA!
Just purchased a pair of these speakers to use in STEREO mode, I connect them manually using the buttons on the speakers, let’s just say pairing them is buggy would go more into detail if anyone else is having these issues.
What I find best is to first have both turned on and which ever is currently playing music, start with that one with the BT vol+. Then wait till the voice stops completely and then do the other speaker BT vol- Then patiently wait for up to 10 seconds.
I don't know what the market is for this. Bose is obviously great/expensive but who exactly would want a mono outdoors speaker or pay for two/have the hassle of connecting them?
It’s actually really simple to pair in stereo. There are button sequences and in about 15 seconds I’m in stereo. As for playing just one as a mono speaker I’ll say this. I compared this single driver mono speaker to other dual driver “stereo” speakers of the same size and this Flex sounded more dynamic (particularly when on its back). I’ve only had mine for a couple of months so not sure about outdoor use (cold as %#@& where I live). But I did use it once out on my deck and it sounded great. It’s not for outdoor parties.
I’m pissed I’ve only had my Bose soundlink flex for two months. And it stopped working. It will not charge and a red light flashes 6-7 times and that’s it. I seriously have only used it once a week to teach my cardio class, honestly!! I have an old Bose for the home that’s literally 15 years old and it’s still kickin. It’s too big to tote around for my classes. I tried texting support through a chat, well, never mind. Warranty is no longer valid because I got from Amazon around Xmas. Now I’m going to need to purchase something else. I like the sound quality of Bose but what the hell happened to the quality of their products!!!😡🤬😤
@@chiefsguy7236 thanks! Troubleshooting didn’t work, I was surprisingly shocked, they’re sending me a brand new speaker paid shipping and handling. Customer service was great!!
I am not able to connect this to a Windows 8 laptop, disappointing because I told the BestBuy dude why I wanted it. I think the issue is that the only app I can use is the SoundTouch, not the one mentioned in the speaker directions.
I bought a pair via Bose ca had them working yesterday after much frustration but back to square one today. Very disappointed. I do not have enough years left to spend time working with frustrating equipment. No thanks. I have bought many Bose speakers over the years and always satisfied until now. Returned speakers for refund today.
I want to give away Bose Soundlink color ..(mainly used for Bluetooth for my Samsung tablet)...will this unit give me better sound (although I will missout on a AUX-IN )😢😢😢
Just bought mine this morning and honestly not that impressed, it’s sound is a bit weak or puny, not at all what I was expecting, considering returning for the JBL charge 5
The Flex sounds much less muddy when on its back. It has position IQ and auto adjusts the EQ based off of 3 positions. Upright is that muddy, what some people call “warm” signature sound. On its back there is a treble boost and sounds brighter and more open. The third position is vertical (like hanging from the loop) and it is somewhere in between. As for BT 5.2 there is no sound advantage, only range.
don’t know about a blanket over it. I found it was quite the opposite where I wanted to put a blanket on it cause the treble was too bright like cats fighting.
I got 2 of these superb quality and sound when paired as stereo
Thanks for the comment, I was going to ask if they could be paired together
Agree, as a pair these are incredible
These speakers are fantastic as a pair in stereo mode

Mine are bluetooth only. My Bose revolve does hook up USB for audio from the computer.

buggy is an understatement. I just returned the one i purchased
I never had an issue pairing, just follow the directions

That has been my experience. @@joelf5565

Hi will this work with a Bluetooth turntable . Thanks.
How do get the unit to work as a speaker phone when connected to iphone? Where is the microphone? Thanks
I got one this Christmas and soon found out it was mono. Damn, that's why it sounded off.. It's good sound but not worth $129.
I like it but too expensive. I bought jbl flip 5 instead at discount price. The sound not so bad and I am satisfied with it.
Should’ve just got the flex nothing like it ….

Try resetting it

I was gonna say, the warranty has got to be longer than two months.
The difference between Bose SoundLink Flex and Bose SoundLink Flex se
The SE doesn’t have a mic for phone calls. That’s why it is usually $10 less.

You can connect with pc by Bluetooth directly. When you play music you need to manually pick the device inside speaker icon a pull-down box menu😅
American weights and measurements are so funny. “1.3 Pounds”- a metric number followed by an imperial weight. So confusing 😂
Not a metric number… a decimal
@@DanaGravelle the metric system is a decimal based system. Imperial is not decimal based.
I see this at Sam’s except it has “se” after it? Any idea what that means?

SE doesn’t have mic for phone calls. I believe that is the only diff.

💯 Aux connections need 2b standard... so at least can use w/ ANY source... also guarantees no one can hi-jack bluetooth
How much?
How to order?
Mini 2 great
Paired with my Samsung series 8 TV but can't adjust volume. Help?
I may just go with JBL, Bose wants $149 or $150. Bose put on a reasonable price. Then i'll go with bose. But $150 ? They sound is not all that.

I'm with you
Wonderboom 3 beats it by a long shot
I had jbl flex 6 it's trash compared to bose
Charge 5 will get louder if that is what you are looking for. I use my Flex around the house and rarely go over 50%.
I tried playback speed 0.75x and still couldnt understand.....words are all slurred together. Sorry!
Please how much
Ebay refurbished, $99
I prefer the higher Bluetooth 5.2 of Sony SRS XE-200…less muddy bass on the Sony after software update.

damn. i almost cant understand a word he says. it's like on 1.5x speed 😑
good review but go and see a dentist
It’s garbage. Never even worked out of the box brand new
Your delivery is like an express train, slow down man....a tip, no one wears the baseball cap backwards these days..no longer hip.

Don’t be a dick man, he can wear his hat any way he wants.

Every wonderboom I’ve ever heard sounds like it has a blanket over top of it
