Just in time for the vacation season, Bose has released a new movable Bluetooth speaker designed for both strong audio performance and continuity. The SoundLink Flex has an IP67 standing, meaning it’s water, dust and dirt resistant, and the company indeed claims that the speaker will float to the face if you drop it in water (but you should presumably grope it out snappily if it drops into a bathtub or the ocean).
The silicone reverse and greasepaint- carpeted sword tulle should cover the speaker from drops and bumps, according to Bose. The company also claims the device is resistant to UV light and erosion and it will not peel or flake.
But it’s not just the speaker’s apparent durability that makes it intriguing. Bose says it packed the SoundLink Flex with features”to deliver astonishing audio performance.”It claims that the custom transducer provides maximum audio clarity and”bass that you can feel in your casket.” The SoundLink Flex also has binary- opposing unresistant radiators, as well as Bose’s digital signal processing tech, which should minimize deformation.
