This Waterproof Bose Bluetooth Speaker Is on Sale

New bluetooth speaker in hand, you blast your favorite playlist of classic rock that has everyone karaoke-ing at your summer barbecue party. Or maybe you’re engrossed in a TV show where the enemies to lovers are realizing their feelings in a crystal clear-sounding discourse against a crescendoing soundtrack. And then you forget the speaker outside after you escaped a sudden downpour of rain, or you leave the room and your kids get a hold of the speaker and decide they want to dunk it in the toilet to see if it’ll float. 

To your surprise, the speaker survives it all. It can still play all your music after the rain, and it can come out of the toilet unscathed (perhaps a disinfection would be good, though).  

Though that sounds like a unicorn of sorts, said speaker actually does, in fact, exist. The Bose SoundLink Flex Portable Bluetooth Speaker can withstand being dropped in a lake, pool, rain, and more and will still offer high-quality sound. What’s more? It’ll float in water. And you can snag this elite speaker that even looks good for 34 percent off right now—its lowest price ever.

Available in six colors, including the newest Twilight Blue color launch, this Bose speaker has an IP67 rating that ensures it is sealed from dust and waterproof for up to 30 minutes. Some have really tested its waterproof and floating abilities by throwing it into a lake, and it popped up to the surface a few seconds later while still playing music. 

Beaches, paddleboarding, hikes, it can withstand it all. Calling it “the ultimate outdoor powerhouse,” one shopper shared how it performs better than other brands they’ve used. “I’ve been using this more on my paddleboard for my adventures on the lake. It has gotten soaked several times [and] stands up to its name for being waterproof,” they said. 

It’s durable enough to survive land accidents unscathed, too. “I dropped it once on the driveway by mistake and thought that was it, but it didn’t break,” shared one shopper who gave the Bose speakers a five-star review. “I rinsed it under water after a weekend of dirt and dust, and it still worked.”

I don’t know about you, but even being able to “rinse” something off is a level of assurance I’ve never had with speakers in general. You can also be assured that you won’t have to deal with interruptions as you use the speaker, because a full charge offers up to 12 hours of bold sound. You can also carry it by hand or use the attached nylon loop to secure it to your backpack (a removable rope is included with the speakers). If you choose to carry or stuff it in a bag, its 1.3 pounds won’t weigh you down, either.

As an OG Bose speaker owner (I still have the Bose Wave CD Music System III at home), I’ve always been impressed by the brand’s sound quality and aesthetic designs. No matter the genre of music or type of show or movie I’m watching (I highly recommend the Bose smart soundbar for movies!), I’m enveloped in clear highs and an impressively deep bass. 

You can also link two SoundLink Flex speakers to create a surround sound experience; choose the Stereo Mode for left and right channels or Party Mode for the ultimate sound boost. 

With plenty of “best purchase” filled reviews and over 3,000 five-star ratings, the Bose SoundLink Flex speaker that can survive it all is worth full price for many. But now that it’s priced under $100, we think it’s most definitely worth adding to your shopping cart.
