Brand: Bose

Older model: the Bose Soundlink Micro (ranked lower, rated 3.5/5). See every Bose SoundLink Flex, Micro, Max and Plus generation.

Same family: the Bose Soundlink Flex 2nd gen (smaller model, rated 3.8/5), the Bose SoundLink Max (smaller model, rated 4.3/5) and the Bose SoundLink Plus (larger model, rated 4.2/5).

Pros: A waterproof mini speaker with a fabric strap for bags and bikes and USB-C charging. IP67 rated, survives a 1m dunk for 30 minutes. Compact fabric strap for clipping to bags/bikes: replaces the 1st-gen’s hook clip, which was prone to breaking. USB-C charging. Surprisingly good bass when mounted outdoors, like on a bike.

Cons: Lack of clarity. Overly boosted bass that causes some thudding, and can overdrive/distort at higher volumes: worse in this regard than the 1st-gen model. Overly boosted treble, turn down bass and treble in the EQ. Falls clearly behind the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 on bass depth, cleanliness, and loudness.
