Bose Flex 2 vs JBL Charge 5

Bose Flex 2 vs JBL Charge 5

The Bose Soundlink Flex Gen 2 is a very portable, very durable, and very premium feeling speaker, and it performs very well. However, this is another example of bose adding some very minor upgrades to their products, and slapping a new name on them. And for 2025, I feel the Bose Flex 2 is a little hard to justify when compared to its direct price competitors… so today we’re going to see how the Bose Flex 2 compares to the JBL Charge 5 which admiditly is pretty old now, but its still a solid mid sized speaker to recommend.

JBL Charge 5 Wifi Review

So the JBL Charge 5 has been my favorite mid sized speaker cause it sounds great thanks to its woofer and tweeter set up which is rare for a speaker of this size. But the Charge 5 got an unexpected upgrade… we now have the JBL Charge 5 with wifi… now I thought that this was going to be a simple video, but I actually saw a smaller performance improvement with the JBL Charge 5 with Wifi.
