Rich, Size-defying Sound

All of your tracks will go through the most advanced audio processing each time you tap play for accurate studio-quality sound, letting you experience all of your music to the fullest without compromising quality for portability and size.

Stream Any Music. No Matter Where It Lives.

With aptX ® Bluetooth on Bluesound, you can wirelessly stream any music or app from a Bluetooth-enabled device in pure CD-quality, opening up a whole new realm of streaming possibilities while on the go with the PULSE FLEX. aptX ® Bluetooth significantly reduces the bit rate without affecting audio quality or introducing latency issues, and lets you enjoy higher-quality streams in or outside your home.

Using the BluOS app, connect the PULSE FLEX to your home network and easily control all of your music throughout the home from any smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Instantly discover and enjoy millions of songs from your existing music services, tune in to your favourite internet radio stations and podcasts from around the world, or access and listen to your entire music collections with a few simple steps.

Designed for Any Listening Space

Place a PULSE FLEX in any nook or cranny in the home and connect it to your WiFi, or add the battery pack for grab-and-go streaming on the patio with aptX Bluetooth. Group the PULSE FLEX with other Bluesound Players to play music in different rooms in perfect sync with zero delays or distortion. Charge up the battery pack by simply plugging in the PULSE FLEX with it attached, and listen for up to six hours in or outside the home, worry- and wire-free.

Please note that we do not arrange delivery unless it is to a New Hampshire location. However, you can either pick up the merchandise yourself or arrange to have it picked up by another company that can pick up your merchandise at our New Hampshire warehouse on your behalf.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Electronics can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new electronics should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.
