Designed to operate either on its own or as a stereo pair, the Pulse Flex 2i is the smallest member of Bluesound's speaker range and the recent 2i update sees support added for Amazon Alexa and Apple Home integration (but not Google Assistant).

A speaker that is compact, but packs a punch
Loud, balanced audio ; Compact cabinet ; Lots of connectivity options
Expensive ; Spotty app functionality
The BlueSound Pulse Flex 2i speaker is a high-end wireless compact speaker that offers balanced, precise audio with lots of connectivity options.
Expert review by : Scott Wilkinson (techhive.com)
Don't be fooled by the distinguished parentage. This pricey Bluetooth speaker from Bluesound has great features, but its sound is a disappointment.
Attractive, well-built cabinet ; BluOS Control app is comprehensive ; Uses Wi-Fi for whole-home audio system, and is compatible with Apple AirPlay 2
Sound is very congested and closed in ; BluOS Control app is somewhat non-intuitive ; Expensive for what’s delivered
Given Bluesound’s reputation with other products, I had expected the Pulse Flex 2i to sound quite good. Alas, that expectation was completely dashed. The overall sound was congested and closed in with no clarity or soundstage at all. The JBL Xtreme 2...

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...

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...
Consumer review (richersounds.com)
I bought this to go in the kitchen but the sound could easily fill a much bigger room. The setup was very quick most of it involved an update, I didn't believe it would be just 1, 2, 3 steps like it said in the booklet but it really was. When I sent...

Consumer review (richersounds.com)
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...
