The design has not changed, though the speaker now comes in different color options. We liked Ultimate Ears' Wonderboom 2 and the third-generation model, the Wonderboom 3, offers some small improvements, including slightly better battery life (up to 14 hours instead of 13, at moderate volume levels) and a new Bluetooth chip that allows for extended wireless range of over 130 feet (40 meters). However, if you pair two of them together in stereo mode, the sound gets to a whole other level and indeed fills a larger room with sound. From my tests, I'd say it would have to be a relatively small living room - it can only output so much sound as a single speaker. For some reason, it uses the older Bluetooth 4.2 instead of 5.0, but I didn't have any problems with connectivity.īose says it can fill a living room with sound. While Bose's SoundLink Micro also delivers impressive sound for its tiny size, this speaker is bigger, weighing just over a pound (0.45 kg) and measuring 7.9 inches wide, 2.1 inches deep and 3.6 inches high (20 by 5.3 by 9.1cm), so the Flex sounds significantly better than the Micro. The Flex also floats and Bose says it can survive drops and bumps, with a soft silicone back and powder-coated steel grille that "won't peel or flake and is resistant to corrosion and UV light." It's also equipped with Bose's PositionIQ technology to automatically detect the speaker's orientation and deliver optimized sound based on whether it's upright, hanging or flat on its back. Available in three colors - black, white smoke and stone blue (pictured) - the speaker is IP67 dust- and waterproof, and rated for 12 hours of battery life at moderate volume levels. But it mostly lives up to the hype and is arguably the best-sounding wireless speaker for its relatively compact size. When it launched, Bose made some bold claims about its new SoundLink Flex Bluetooth speaker, particularly its bass performance.
