Beats Pill vs. Bose SoundLink Flex: Which Bluetooth Speaker Has More Boom

1st

Bruh who's the woman with nails 😮👀🌹

after Beats Flex💩 I will never buy Beats again. Check on the internet what was a problem with Flex ones. I will never trust this company again

For the type of music I listen to most often, I'm going with the beats. When paired, the stereo sound is amazing.

Ive pretty much always been a Bose guy, i had the original beats pill back in the day before they were bought by apple, and it was phenomenal...
After apple acquired it, i wasn't feeling it. It sounded horrible to me. But i recently just bought the new beats pill, and i gotta say, it sounds GREAT ! And i just bought it to try it out, but im keeping it. And remember, im a Bose guy.

I picked up the flex for $99. Can't beat that speaker at that price.

It is not a tie whatsoever, Bose beats Beats Pill so hard and it is much better!!

I got the Flex since I paddle and the thing floats!

love ur reviews ! hope to meet u one day in new york ! kisses from italy

jbl haha

I think when reviewing these small Bluetooth speakers, quality definitely matters. I find with some reviews there seems to be an expectation that these speakers should perform like bookshelf speakers. They are portable and will be limited. You pay for the portability and the satisfying sound that comes out of them…

Beats Pill sounds better and has double the battery life plus the latest Bluetooth

I have two Sony ERSXB 100 Bluetooth speakers that I put in stereo mode when used. I feel this produces a larger stereo sound sage well still being compact. The two speakers together about the same size as one of the speakers featured in this video.

I went for the Bose because I love the green it comes in, and it went on sale last month for just $99.

Great video! I just picked up a Bose Flex about a week ago and I gotta say, I absolutely love it. I did catch the sale for 109 bucks for the black one, and for that price, it is an incredible sounding speaker. Of course, it has a limit to how good, and at the sale price I honestly want to get a second one just to try to stereo pairing and get more out of them. However, even just having the one, it is fantastic for when I'm just hanging out. I usually play it at about 40 percent and that even gets me a nice sound when I'm just sitting with it. I can't say anything on the Beats Pill, as I don't own one, but that was a serious contender for my choice of speaker until I saw the sale.

I have both. I prefer the way the Pill sounds, it’s more detailed at the high end. However the long presses on the power button can be annoying as it doesn’t always register and I noticed it can make everything on the table it’s on rattle, which the Flex doesn’t do. The Flex is easier to use, just don’t rely on the app, and still sounds really good. I think the comment about the Pill is more a home speaker is accurate, it’s heavier and just feels much nicer to hold. Essentially, they are both really good.

You have to ask yourself if it's a good idea to turn the speakers away from the "blinded test subjects"?

I went with two Flex when they went on sale and have never found them lacking.

The Flex is currently $89 at Costco until late August!

Beats Pill has no Bass as it is missing bass ports or passive radiators. Literally has no unit to produce bass.
Bose Flex has passive radiators to produce bass and sounds more balanced.
None of the reviewers are being truthful regarding criticism of Beats Pill.

Blindfold test was NOT helpful😂 I 1000% appreciate the honesty

David, have you considered on reviewing anymore harman kardon bluetooth speakers? I still have my harman kardon esquire mini 1st gen and harman kardon one portable bluetooth speaker. Both of my harman kardon bluetooth speakers use micro usb. I've had them for 7 or 8 years and the batteries don't last that long since I constantly have to charge them and I use them when talking on the phone since they have a built in mic for talking on the phone. I still use the auxiliary port all the time since all my devices have the aux port and I only buy devices that have an aux port. I use the aux port since they offer better sound quality than using bluetooth since my lg v30 has the quad dac and I connect my portable speakers to the aux port all the time with my portable fiio hi res audio player running android.

Way overpriced. Much better options available.

All the overpriced speakers 🤣

I tested both in person for a few days. Beats Pill has better highs but sounds robotic. Bose sounds very warm, natural and more bass. However, Beats Pill distorts a lot at max volume unlike the Bose which still sounds really good. I returned the Beats Pill.

Flex ❤

Ip67 is wateeproof or dustproof.. Its Water and Dust resistance..

Both off those speaker can be trash by "Tribit Flow" for a half or one third of the price of bose and beats..

BOSE IS THE BEST HAND DOWN!!!

Flex is $90 at Costco now. I just picked up one. ❤

As someone who bought the new Pill, I can say that the thing that drew me to it most was the iCloud linking. I have multiple Apple devices, so the ability to pair my speaker seamlessly to it without having to go into the Bluetooth settings every time might sound like a trivial reason, but for me, it is incredibly useful. Overall, I have been incredibly satisfied with it. I haven’t charged it since I got it about three weeks ago and I use it every day for approximately an hour. Clearly, the battery life is rated properly.

Inuse pixel device and the bose sounslfex is the definitionnof BUGGY. It may work better with apple but inwould constantly have the device lose connection and then juat shut off in the middle of listening to music. Better luck with the beats

I don't understand how the Bose speaker can be so great and so expensive and they're mono speakers.

Good music lies in the ears of the listener...

Hey cnet , yesterday Bose just came out with Gen 2 of this sound flex speaker … will you guys review and compare the two ?.

I went with the beats for prime deal day it was $106 after taxes

I ll go for Bose Soundlink Max. How about Bose Soundlink Home? New speaker in aluminium case released make a review on that

I love my Tribit Stormbox Pro. Has all the same features. Though I have not experienced these. $99

Having just recently purchased the Bose
SoundLink Flex, I can attest to the sound quality of this unit at this price point. One thing that should be considered is the Bose Flex has a positional EQ (Bose calls it Position IQ), that affects the sound depending on which position the unit is set in. I have found the upright position gives the Flex a bass heavy sound, where laying it down flat on its back produces better mid range and highs.
