So for summer 2025 we actually have two brand new mid sized speakers to choose from, the JBL Charge 6 and the Sony ULT Field 3… but today we’re going to compare them to both the Bose Flex Gen 2 and Beats Pill. All of these speakers are similarly priced but both the JBL Charge 6 and Sony ULT field 3 are noticeably bigger than both the Bose and Beats Pill.
So if you’re looking for a small portable Bluetooth speaker for summer 2025, you actually have a lot of new options to choose from, theres the brand new JBL Flip 7 which just released in the spring, there’s the Bose soundlink flex 2 which came out in the winter, and we have the Beats Pill and the Sony ULT Field 1. So today we’re going to compare all four of these speakers and we’re going to see which one is right for you.
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.
