Bose SoundLink Flex vs FUGOO Tough 2.0 Bluetooth Speaker

The Bose SoundLink Flex is the better all-round speaker for most people. It sounds more natural, plays the same in any orientation, and pairs with other Bose speakers and select Bose soundbars. The FUGOO Tough 2.0 is the tougher, longer-running pick: IP67 with submersion to 3 feet for 30 minutes, an aluminum and resin body, and up to 40 hours of battery. Bose owners rate it highly for sound and build; the Tough 2.0 is the choice when battery life and rough handling matter more than audio quality.

• Choose the Bose SoundLink Flex if you want the better-sounding speaker for indoor and outdoor use and may add more Bose speakers or a Bose soundbar later.
• Choose the FUGOO Tough 2.0 if you need maximum battery life and a rugged aluminum body for hikes, job sites or long trips away from power.
