In hot summer afternoons like these, the speaker you bring to your friend’s barbeque either makes the mood or kills it. The Bose SoundLinkFlex 2 does the former – its compact enough to carry, with the sound quality to back it up, and IP67 waterproofing for whatever the afternoon throws at it.
Right now it’s 35% off, down from £149.95 to £98, saving you £51.95. That’s a great price for one of the best outdoor speakers you can buy right now.
Bose’s SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) drops by 35% today, with a limited‑edition colourway that feels tailor‑made for outdoor BBQ listening
At under £100, the Bose Soundlink Flex is a well-rounded outdoor speaker at a price that makes it a sensible buy for the summer ahead.
The colourway available here is Twilight Blue, a limited-edition finish that sits apart from the standard line up and looks pretty good.
But let’s be honest, you’re not worried about the colour – the sound quality is what matters, and the SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) sounds pretty good. With a 7.5-watt output and a 50.8mm dynamic driver, you’ll get clear, balanced audio for all to hear.
PositionIQ technology reads the orientation of the speaker automatically and adjusts the audio output accordingly, so whether it is standing upright on a table, lying flat in the grass, or hanging from a bag loop, the sound stays optimised without any manual adjustment needed.
The IP67 rating means it is both dustproof and waterproof to a meaningful degree, and the listing notes it floats, so an accidental knock into the paddling pool or a splash of beer isn’t going to kill it.
Bluetooth 5.3 keeps the connection stable up to nine metres away, and multipoint pairing means two devices can stay connected simultaneously, which takes the friction out of handing music duties.
Battery life reaches up to 12 hours on a single charge, which comfortably covers an afternoon and evening without needing to hunt for a cable, and the USB-C charging cable is included in the box.
This is a well-rounded outdoor speaker at a price that makes it a sensible buy for the summer ahead, and the Twilight Blue finish makes it one of the more distinctive options in this category at under £100.
