Bose SoundLink Flex 2nd gen Sunset Peach deal, Digi Mart USA News: Amazon has reduced the price of the Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Speaker (2nd Gen) in Sunset Peach and six other colors by 38%, or $60, from its original list price of $159. The discount brings the speaker to $99, according to the publisher’s report.
The portable speaker is rated IP67, allowing it to play music when submerged up to 3.3 feet (1 m) underwater. Its rugged design is built to withstand drops, sand and dust, and a built-in nylon strap lets it be clipped to a backpack.
It weighs 1.3 pounds (0.6 kg) and floats in water.
Owners can pair two SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) speakers to create a stereo set, or use Party Mode to have all connected speakers play the same audio for louder output. Bose PositionIQ technology senses the speaker’s orientation to adjust sound automatically, and equalization can be changed through the Bose smartphone app.
A programmable button can start Spotify playback through a connected smartphone, open a voice assistant or link two speakers as a stereo pair. The speaker connects to up to two audio sources at once over Bluetooth 5.3 and has a rated runtime of up to 12 hours between charges.
A full charge takes about 4 hours using a USB-C power source.
The report notes that the speaker trails the JBL Flip 7 in runtime, bass output and water resistance. The smaller Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen), available for $129 on Amazon, is more portable, but the Flex includes a built-in microphone that the Micro lacks, which the publisher suggests could make it useful as a conference speaker.
Notebookcheck notes that retailers set prices independently, and the deal may be subject to time limits or limited stock.
