Bluesound Pulse Flex 2i Portable Wireless Streaming Speaker - White

This is a superb active speaker. Out the box, plug in, download their app. The speaker then connects faultlessly to my network, downloads updates and is ready! I use roon, and roon finds the device immediately and 10 minutes after the Amazon delivery driver hands me the box I've got lovely sound from the speaker. Clear and full. Loud enough for a big room. I am delighted. The only suggestion I have for Bluesound is... With three power cables I can plug in in three regions, but It would be nice to have white cables with the white speaker. The black cable is a bit in your face against the bright white.

I own two PULSE Flex 2i speakers (both with BP100 batteries) and a Bluesound Sound bar 2. Once everything is connected and going they are terrific. Rich sound detail, simple design, premium solid build quality. Setup and use is pretty straightforward once you have registered services, connected with Wi-Fi, setup sound and configured pre-sets. Minor gripes: The player connectivity (My Players in the BluOS app) remains an occasional frustration. Players can disappear and getting them to reappear is sometimes a mysterious waiting game. These issues are not a daily occurrence (eg. fine for months, then maybe happens 3 times in a week). For me, this isn't a big deal unless it happens when you are hosting guests, for example. Then it can be a tad annoying. The Spotify connection is also quite clunky at times. Overall, at a price approaching the premium end, I find it hard to give it 5 stars because I'd be saying that my experience with every aspect is perfect. It's not. However, these speakers do sound great and the issues are very manageable. The market is full of cheaper streaming speaker solutions and I could have bought something for half the price and thought it was a wise move. Who knows? The fact is that now I have these I tend to think that other systems I've heard (other people's houses etc.) don't sound as good. Maybe that's just me trying to justify forking out the money and I'm one of those condescending audiophile types. I don't think I am one of those, but I do think they sound better than most of the others I've heard. I'm very happy I chose these and I would buy more of them. Why would I buy more if I don't give it top marks? Well I just feel that when they are functioning they are brilliant and that tends to outweigh the occasional connection glitch. Every firmware / app update that is issued I'm hopeful that these minor issues will be resolved. When they are, I'd be more than happy to give them the 5 stars they deserve. In addition, the support I have received from Bluesound was very good when I had issues with the BP100 battery not charging. They responded quickly, troubleshot it sensibly before sending a replacement.

Brilliant sound via TIDAL

I tried, I really did. I think this unit looks and feels nice, high quality and the sound is good, although I prefer the 'Denon sound' myself. I returned it because at my level of tech ability the set up is very complicated and a compete lack of custormer service was too much. The control app is, to me, too complex and clunky. I am shure others will find it fine. The on-line help is extensive and if you are able to find the right article it is helpful. I now have a pair of Denon 250's.

What a piece of garbage. I have spent 3 days trying to get this piece of junk to connect to my WiFi without any success. I wanted a speaker for the kitchen to connect to my Bluesound Node but I was reluctent to spend this much money on a small speaker however I have been told no other brand of speaker will connect to Bluesound so I took the leap. What an incredible dissapointment I tried every possible way to connect this to my WiFi but it would not do it no matter what I tried. My WiFi network is fine, with 7 other devices connected without any problems so it's the speaker.I am no faced with the prospect of getting rid of my Bluesound node if I want to have the same sounds in my kitchen. I am going to go back to my 7 year old Sonos system which connects flawlessly to my WiFi. It has limitations but I will work around those as best I can. BTW if you connect the Flex 2i to an ehternet cable the sound is excellent. What a shame Bluesound did not put as much effort into their software as they but into developing a good sounding speaker. This is going back to Amazon for a refund. I won't be touching Bluesound again... Avoid this product at all costs

Super Sound quality and form completely spoiled by regular drop outs even when well within range of wifi. Also issues with laggy bluetooth. This is with latest software as at October 2020. Frustrating!!!!!

Premessa 🎶 Solitamente le dimensioni contano, ma in questo caso direi proprio di no: questo piccolo gioiello tecnologico sprigiona una potenza e una grinta davvero incredibili (Sempre tenendo conto della tipologia dell'articolo). E' ovvio che non può sostituire impianti di dimensioni e prezzi maggiori, ma in un bagno o in una cucina per me è ideale.

Utilisation en multi Room dans ma chambre de 30 m² Le son est remarquable Petite taille, mais il fait bien son job.

Tengo otros productos de Bluesound y me gustan. Ahora he buscado un pequeño altavoz para el dormitorio y la terraza. Para mi es perfecto. Tengo acceso a todo la musica en mi NAS, Internet Radio y tiene también una salida para auriculares. Encima he copiado algunas álbumes en mp3 a un USB-Stick y por eso puedo escuchar música también si estoy fuera de la cubertería de mi WiFi. El sonido es muy bueno para un altavoz tan pequeñito.

This product does a few things that are hard to live without once you have them. By far, my favorite is the fact that there are physical preset buttons. The ability to enjoy 5 different presets (Internet radio station, tidal playlist, etc) is a game changer. I'm sick of having to use my cell phone for everything. Walk up, hit a button and you're jamming. No phone required. I travel a lot for work and am often staying in an air b&b for extended period. I absolutely love that I can pair these as a stereo pair and use them as main monitors for the TV using optical or aux cable. Or, I can grab one and take it out to the patio . Sound quality is very, very good for their size. They hit above their weight class for sure with good mid-range, acceptable base, and clear highs. Bonus points in stereo configuration as your output is doubled, more than adequate. I'm an audiofile with Arcam, Focal, and other high end gear, I know good audio. These do not disappoint from a sound delivery perspective, especially as my travel system. I have a Bluesound node vault back at home and really enjoy the system. These fit right in as system extenders when I'm home. Only downside is that BlueOS doesn't support YouTube music or Google Cast. They do however support Tidal connect so I can steam my tidal library without needing Bluetooth. I'm really impressed with these and really recommend them.

I love Bluesound speakers. The Flex 2i has brilliant crisp sound and lots of bass. It's cleaner and less bass heavy than the Sonos line however, which is a good thing. They are clearly designed for audiophiles. For such a small unit, it has lots of power, and with the battery pack it lasts a long time. Make sure you have decent WiFi connectivity wherever you locate it. I know they're not cheap, but I can't recommend these enough.
