”Thanks to the combined optical and analogue input on the rear panel, the Bluesound feels like it offers a little extra flexibility compared with rivals.” ’Hi-Fi Choice’ – Recommended.
Generation 2i
Version Gen 2i brings a whole raft of streaming improvements. Apple AirPlay 2 is now supported, giving the highest quality streaming from your Apple devices. Another bonus is the adoption of dual-band wi-fi. The new wi-fi chip lets you take advantage of the less noisy 5 GHz band. This results in faster connection times and fewer interruptions from other network traffic.
Bluesound – the connoisseurs’ choice for music streaming
Since it was first established, Bluesound has been committed to the highest quality, easy to use multi-room streaming system. Hi-Res music playback is at the heart of Bluesound, which is just one of the reasons it sounds so good. Don’t just take our word for it though; take a look at the myriad of rave reviews. What Hi-Fi, Stuff, EISA and AVS Forum are just a few of the big publications and sites to award Bluesound their highest laurels.
The portable speaker that’s ready for anything
If you love the Bluesound system but need a portable speaker then the PULSE FLEX is just what you’ve been looking for. As well as connecting to a Bluesound multi-room system in the usual way, the PULSE FLEX also features Bluetooth and optional battery power, making it ideal as a standalone Bluetooth speaker.
Connect and configure for stereo or surround sound
Great on its own but even better when paired up, the flexible BluOS app lets you pair up FLEX speakers for a room-filling sound. Alternatively, join two PULSE FLEX 2i’s to a PLUSE SOUNDBAR 2i and enjoy wireless surround sound home cinema.
Add a battery
Connect the optional BP100 (cost option) battery pack and you can take the PULSE FLEX anywhere. With up to six hours music playback, the PULSE FLEX is ideal for a picnic or summer BBQ in the garden.
Punchy sound – now with improved audio
Featuring a DirectDigital, 25 watt amp at its heart, the PULSE FLEX 2i is more powerful than ever. The two-way speaker design has been reconfigured for an even more dynamic and full-range sound. If you’d rather listen in private then simply plug in a pair of headphones.
Stream music around your home
A wide range of Bluesound speakers and streamers let you set up a comprehensive music system around your home. Choose between Ethernet and advanced wi-fi for quick and easy set up with your existing home network. With blazing-fast ARM Cortex A9 processors at their heart, you can be assured of smooth, seamless sound with no skips or dropouts – even with Hi-Res music files. Play your music around your home in perfect sync or have different music playing in different rooms – the choice is yours.
Access Internet radio and cloud music services such as Spotify and Tidal
Although you can access your own digital music library, Bluesound also gives you access to near-unlimited music via Internet radio and the best streaming music services. Compatible with Spotify (Premium account required for full features), Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz and Napster, amongst others, the PULSE FLEX 2i is ever-ready to play your favourite music. Being compatible with Hi-Res music files also makes the PULSE FLEX 2i the perfect match for Tidal, Qobuz and other premium, Hi-Res music services.

Stylish and unobtrusive
Compact enough to easily fit in a backpack, the PULSE FLEX 2i is the ideal travel, high quality travel speaker.

Great Speaker with a good App
This is my 4th Bluesound product. The speakers have been reliable so far with a great sound. The Flex 2i is more suited to smaller rooms but can still kick out a strong sound without distortion at higher volume settings. I changed from Sonos to Bluesound and find speakers to be slightly better from both a sound and feature point of view, the App is not too far behind Sonos. Only downside is that the lights on the Cat5 port currently cannot be turned off, this is a known issue which Bluesound appear to be aware of; not a problem if you connect by WiFi. This is why I rate it at 4 starts, will be 5 if/when Bluesound solve this. Other benefit, is that BlueOS is now being integrated into other manufactures products, giving a wider choice of compatible products.

Very good sound great bass, loud enough for most
Got this to pair with a Pulse 2i , Its great to have the same music playing perfectly in different rooms. The Bluesound AP seems easy and intuitive and we've had no problems ir issues with Wifi drop out or AP problems, so far so good!
The sound on these is where it shines, although still a little pricy for size of product you do notice the quality, especially with bass levels. I would say it will fill most medium sized rooms with sound adequately. I purchased in store and I really appreciated the chance to listen to different speakers for a fair comparison. I ended up buying Bluesound over another popular brand based purely on the sound difference however that's personal preference.
I'd highly recommend Bluesound and of course you get the expert knowledge and great customer service as always at Richersounds

I like the presets
I have replaced a pair of gen 1 Sonos 1 speakers with these. They definitely sound better, and the chamfered corners mean they take up less space in a corner as we actually cook in our kitchen. One nice touch is the preset buttons - For example we use 3 & 4 in our case access the relevant BBC station and hark back to days when radios had buttons, rather than remembering where you put your phone done!
So for us these are about as good as it gets

BLUESOUND COMBO
Bought 2-3 weeks ago and is giving so much trouble to set up. Matthew from Kingston has devoted a great deal of time to it. Finaaly Bluesound Canada has spent 40 minutes on the phone and computer. It worked well last Friday night but then didn't on Saturady morning. Will talk to Canada again on Tuesday. May recommend later

An excellent wifi player
I bought this to extend the bluesound network into another room (replacing squeezeboxes). Everything was quick and easy to set up and does an excellent job of playing from my local library, streaming lossless from Tidal and receiving the sound from an iPad. It's pricey compared to some of the alternatives, but worth the extra.

Bluesound, what a sound!
I had my mind set on a competitors product but when I heard Bluesound’s Pulse Flex 2i it changed my mind the difference was outstanding.
It was easy to set up and the presets let my wife listen to the radio without opening an app, although she is now enjoying playlists from one of the online services through the app. I have it connected to a NAS drive so our original music collection is still available.
