FEATURES
ULTRA-COMPACT ALL-IN-ONE PORTABLE SPEAKER.
PULSE FLEX is a game-changing 2-way speaker that delivers the best of both performance and portability. Mount a pair in the corners of a large room for a full stereo sound field, hide one on a bookshelf, take one out to the patio table or throw one in your bag for a picnic – it’s the true flexibility you’ve been waiting for in a multi-room streaming music system. And it will change the way you think about personal audio.
An optional battery pack delivers up to 8 hours of high-res streaming autonomy. For the first time ever, you can enjoy the HiFi performance of Bluesound virtually anywhere your music takes you.
MADE FOR MORE THAN MP3.
Of course Bluesound is compatible with MP3s – and just about every other digital format ever created – but Bluesound was purpose-built for high-res audio. While other companies put a premium on style, Bluesound has spared no expense on the integration of advanced, innovative audio technologies that deliver blazingly fast error-free playback in maximum studio-master recording quality, resulting in absolutely unbeatable performance.
THE FUTURE OF MUSIC IS FAST.
Using industry-leading 1GHz ARM Cortex-9 Multi-core processors, you’d think Bluesound was engineered for something more than just audio. Bluesound’s 32-bit architecture combined with 8x oversampling, paired with our own innovative DirectDigital™ Amp and DAC platforms, ensures that your lossless high-res music playback is flawless, with precision, power and clarity – at any volume.
PLAY MUSIC DIRECTLY FROM YOUR MOBILE.
Wirelessly stream any music stored on your iOS (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) or Android device directly to any Bluesound Player over WiFi to instantly enjoy your entire mobile music library – every song and every playlist. Bluetooth’s highest bitrate protocol – aptX – is also built into every Player, opening up a whole new realm of CD-quality streaming possibilities for you, or anyone in the room with a Bluetooth device.
The portable PULSE FLEX is a game-changing premium wireless speaker that follows you virtually anywhere. Like all Bluesound players, it’s enabled with Bluetooth AptX, and can stream from any app or music service you want. Add a pair of PULSE FLEX’s to your TV setup. Take the PULSE FLEX out on the patio and bring the party outside. An optional battery pack delivers 8 hours of high-res streaming. Now you can take your high-res with you. The PULSE FLEX is the ultimate party-starter.
