Bose - SoundLink Flex (1st Generation)

Wait for the sale on Bose Soundlink Flex 1. You can get it around 100$ at that time - and please believe me when I say NONE of these 3 even come close to it.

Well it's a premium level well made and designed speaker. Once you hear it you understand why the price is like that. Yes it could be cheaper, but it's bose's branding. They use a high quality full range driver that is amazing at producing lows with minimal distortion. And it only uses bluetooth, it has no aux input. You can even get the older gen flex, which has bluetooth 4.2 but is still amazing sounding and is very similar to the new gen soundwise, can be found for even less than 100$

Well you get both in one. You get plenty of sound out of that speaker, and a pretty low latency, lower than anything iv'e tried. So my recommendation is the bose soundlink flex first gen. If you're able to find it for a good price (lower than 100$), you will be very happy with it i guarantee. Your choice mate.

Yea if you can that's great. I doubt you gonna return it 😅 It's miles better than the speaker you owned

X300 is what I would say without context and my idea of "mini". Bose Soundlink Flex if you can go to what I consider "small". JBL clip if you need something I consider "micro"

I bought mine in 2018 and it's still my favorite speaker. the Soundlink Max is admittedly better in direct comparison (sounds somehow clearer and more refined) however the Revolve is more convenient in daily life due to is size and shape. It's also superior in settings where you place the speaker somewhere and then move around a lot Weirdly Bose has kinda abandoned the Revolve line even though the Flex series cannot match it (I've compared them too)

I bought a certified refurbished one recently for 100 off Best Buy Canada. I’ve owned Bose soundflex before and tried a few speakers from Jbl, tribit etc. I found Bose to be best in terms of soothing/warm sound. I’ve been testing out x600 all day with a bunch of custom EQ from Reddit. I still haven’t been able to make them sound as warm as Bose since I feel it’s a physical restriction. Soundcore lacks that refined bass. That being said it sure is has a very crisp and balanced sound when playing .ogg files through a BTR 5. About the spatial audio, I was super excited to experience it but it’s mostly a gimmick. Just an additional upward facing driver which makes it sound a bit roomier but it’s not as strong. The speaker with spatial sound off are simply bad. Whereas Bass up just adds unrefined bass.

Yes, relative to the size. Not as good as the flex though.
