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.

Ratings and Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Always great sound I bought this a month ago to replace my 10 year old (or more?) Bose Color SoundLink, which will be missed. I like the updated cable, upgraded Bluetooth, and new app options of this Bose Flex 2 SoundLink. Sound matches the older Bose, and the old “brick” style I owned from even longer ago! Ha! Glad to continue with you for my portable speaker needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from No other speaker comes close! This one is for my father for Christmas. I bought mine a few months ago and it goes everywhere with me. Incredible sound even for the road. I had to drive to LA a couple of weeks ago from Texas in a noisy truck and I could hear my books, maps, and music perfectly! I know my dad will be as thrilled as I am!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Travel partner This speaker had the sound quality and flexibility I’ve been looking for. As a dad of 3 little ones that travels a lot we always need something light weight and compact to take with us as we enjoy music where ever we go. One thing I didn’t plan for was durability and the Soundlink Flex 2nd gen surely stood up to the abuse from the children throwing it around, falls, even juice and water spills. I loved that it didn’t take up a lot of space yet the sound quality was great. Even when we were outdoors in the parks and beaches it sounded great! We’ve found our new travel partner! Thanks!
