The Bose Soundlink Flex lives up to its name: it is protected against dust and water and can be used upright, lying down or suspended. The features, on the other hand, are rather meagre. But the little one packs a real punch. With a little distance from the wall and the audience, it produces a sound with a fullness that is unrivalled in this price and size class.

The Bose loudspeaker rightly bears the addition "Flex" in its name, because it can be used flexibly: well protected against dust and water, standing, lying down or suspended from the loop. However, the equipment only includes the bare essentials. But the most important thing is that the little one packs a real punch...

A powerful bass, clearly audible details and a balanced, lively sound - that's what the perfect Bluetooth speaker should sound like. However, good sound quality is not everything: to become a test winner, a speaker should ideally also be easy to use, have a long-lasting battery and offer practical additional functions...
