Bringing your personal playlist to an outdoor party or having your favorite podcast and audiobooks with you wherever you go requires a compact portable speaker that's ready to deal with whatever surprises the weather throws at you. That's a perfect description of the 2nd-Gen Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker, and Prime Day is a perfect time go grab one for yourself now that it's under $100 for the first time ever.
The famously big, beautiful Bose sound is still big and beautiful, but now it can come from a perfectly portable speaker that's a little under 8 inches in length and weighs just 1.3 pounds, and is IP67 dustproof and waterproof. Fun fact — drop it in the pool and it floats without missing a beat.

When Bose says the SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker is built to go anywhere, they're being pretty much literal. The waterproofing means it can serve as a shower speaker, and then come with you to the pool or beach or even on a boat trip — remember, it floats. The dustproofing also comes in very handy on the beach or if you take it with you on the trails with your bike.
The built-in utility loop is ready for a carabiner or hook, and it's the perfect size and weight for packing or carrying. Should you happen to drop it or give it a good hard jolt, the silicon-wrapped body is able to withstand drops and shocks.
The Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker will give you 12 hours of playback on a single charge, which is remarkable when you consider that the Bluetooth 5.3 connection is strong enough to work from 30 feet away.
The portability and rugged construction make the SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker an appealing option, but the selling point of any Bose speaker is the sound. The high-fidelity audio and deep, rich bass that Bose is known for is present and accounted for in the SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker, and there's the added option of pairing the speaker with another compatible Bose speaker and using them either in Stereo Mode where one takes the left channel and the other takes the right, or Party Mode where they combine forces for even bigger, bolder sound.
Of the six fun colors the Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Speaker comes in, five are covered by this great Prime Day deal that drops the price to just $99. So unless you're a hardliner about absolutely needing a black speaker, this is the perfect deal for a take-anywhere speaker that will give you great sound for years to come.
