The new portable speaker is IP67 water and dust-resistant, thanks to its powder-coated steel grille, making it a great beach or pool companion. According to Bose, if you drop the speaker in a pool by mistake, it will float back up for easy retrieval.

Its battery is said to last 12 hours on a single charge and recharges through USB-C. For a louder boom, the SoundLink Flex can be “stereo paired” with another SoundLink Flex — or any other Bose Bluetooth speaker for that instance. Additionally, you can use Bose’s “Party Mode” to connect multiple additional speakers to play the same music/content.

Further, Bose uses a technology known as “PositionIQ,” which allows the speaker to recognize its orientation and adjust music output appropriately. PositionIQ “automatically detects the speaker’s orientation, so whether upright, hanging, or flat on its back, the speaker is optimized to deliver rich, lifelike sound,” reads Bose’s release about the new portable speaker.

There’s also a built-in microphone for accepting calls and interacting with your phone’s voice assistant.
