Bose SoundLink Flex Wireless Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Stone Blue

I first heard one aboard a friend's yacht. It was playing at low volume so I didn't hear its true potential,but I was impressed with the quality of sound. I was looking for a replacement for my soundlink 1 which had died after over decade of service. So when I was traveling i was able to to get a demonstration of the Flex, and I was so impressed that I bought i right away. My nn cmplaint is t been able to hardwire into it with a 3.5mm jack.

The actual 2nd generation Flex was returned because the gift was not suitable for my friend however I have purchased 5 Bose Soundflex speakers. I use two in stereo mode or one for enhanced sound quality watching news and drama on You Tube. I have given two speakers to a dear friend and another as a gift which I will add to later so he can also enjoy stereo mode. The brilliance of the clarity always amazes me. As I'm bed bound the speakers are brilliant because of their compact size. The market for Bluetooth speakers tends to be for the younger generation and while these are also ok for any age group I think those who appreciate superb sound quality rather than just boom boom boom sound will be delighted. The other important aspect is USB C charging. Same cable that charges my I pads slips into the flex speaker. I highly recommend them and consider the price to be excellent.
