SoundLink Flex Series

Same here! My 2 soundlinks are still going strong and I even still have my sounddock from when I was young.

Ive left mine on my patio one full night of heavy rain, work like a charm.

We have one of those still going that is older than 2017. Not sure when we bought it, but have had it forever. Only travel speaker we take on our adventures.

I got this deal on the Bose flex last time they had it and I'm really happy with the speaker. Overall I prefer the Bose sound profile to the JBL. That being said JBL has a great speaker and I use them for parties where I might want louder sound. For personal use at 50-70% volume and I'm within 20ft of the speaker the Bose is great. My preferred orientation is facing up on a counter. I listen to everything but country with emphasis on metal and electronic generas. Some old skool hip hop too. Battery life and loudness aren't going to be as good as the JBL, but I got it for the sound profile which I'm more happy with. OH - and the costco version of the Bose doesn't have a microphone so you can't use it to make calls.

Totally agree - and that fact isn't readily apparent either! Considering it's shortfalls in loudness and battery life Bose needs additional features to stay competitive considering it's cost. On paper the Bose is a dog! It's a simple single speaker/radiator setup which is antiquated now. The only leg the Bose has to stand on is it's sound profile. Now this works for me personally but $100 is still $100 and I would have been happier had I gotten the microphone (which is likely in there, just disabled in software).

Uboom X, it now on sale for only 92 dolar. Its a great speaker. Especially for this price. If you like deep bass, good mids and highs this is a great pick. Fast charging trough ucb c. Powerbank for your phone. Great eq possibilities. Loud sound with deep bass. Ip67. Pair it till 50 speakers. Aux in. The bose soundlink flex 2 is a great speaker. Portable, good deep sound. It will sound a lot bigger than it is. Ip67. Usb c charging. Great build quality. 3 band eq trough the bose app. Durable rock solid design. Fantastic color options.

Bose soundlink flex 2 has great bass for on the go. Especially for it's size. If you play with the eq in the bose app and put it in the corner. It sounds way bigger that it's size. Earfun Uboom X is also great. Its larger but almost the same price as the bose. The bass on it is fantastic. Devialet Mania is an wonderful sounding speaker. Big bass, great highs, and a big price haha 😉 Jbl flip 7 or charge 6 are great for outdoor usage.

Don't know which Soundcore speaker you got, but if it's not the Motion 300, you can get that. Other ones could be the Tribit Stormbox Flow, (Tribit Stormbox Micro 2, and Bose Soundlink Flex. I'd personally recommend the Stormbox Micro 2, though. Heard that once and I fell in love with the sound.

The JBL Charge 5 and Bose SoundLink Flex were everywhere, and from what I’ve used, they deserve it.
