Available in three stylish finishes.
Great Sound in Every Room
The Bluesound PULSE FLEX is a compact, beautifully designed wireless streaming speaker that brings high-fidelity audio to any space in your home. Small enough to sit on a shelf, desk or countertop, yet powerful enough to fill a room with rich, detailed sound, the PULSE FLEX blends seamlessly into your décor while connecting you to virtually every music service and format available today.
Whether in the kitchen, bedroom, office or living room, the PULSE FLEX makes it effortless to enjoy music, internet radio and your personal digital library — all in high resolution.
Hi-Res Streaming from 23+ Services
At the heart of the PULSE FLEX experience is BluOS — Bluesound's own high-fidelity operating system, controlled via the BluOS Controller app on iOS, Android, Windows or macOS. With access to more than 23 music services and internet radio stations, the PULSE FLEX puts an extraordinary breadth of content at your fingertips, all streamed in the highest available quality.
Key integrations include AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, TIDAL Connect, Qobuz Connect and Roon Ready certification — ensuring the PULSE FLEX works natively within the most popular hi-fi streaming ecosystems without any compromise.
Powerful, Precise Audio
A custom-tuned driver pairing delivers deep bass and crystal-clear sound from a surprisingly compact enclosure. The smart DSP amplifier drives the system with a total of 50 watts — 10W to the 0.75" (21mm) tweeter and 40W to the 4" (102mm) woofer — ensuring detailed, dynamic and well-balanced sound at every volume level.
Hi-res audio is supported up to 192kHz / 24-bit and DSD256, making the PULSE FLEX one of the most capable wireless speakers in its class for audiophile-grade playback.
Versatile Connectivity
The PULSE FLEX connects to your network via built-in Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac, dual-band) or Gigabit Ethernet, with Bluetooth 5.3 aptX HD for wireless streaming from any smartphone or tablet. A 3.5mm Optical/Analog combo input accepts external analogue or optical sources, a USB Type-A port supports external storage for local playback, and a USB Type-C port enables direct PC connection as an audio interface.
An infrared sensor with IR learning capability allows integration with existing remote controls, while control system compatibility covers Crestron, Control4, RTI, Nice, URC and Lutron for professional custom installations. Amazon Alexa voice control is also supported.
Expand Into Stereo or Surround
The PULSE FLEX is designed to grow with your system. Pair two PULSE FLEX speakers for a dedicated stereo listening setup, or use them as wireless surround speakers alongside a Bluesound PULSE CINEMA, PULSE CINEMA MINI, POWERNODE or POWERNODE EDGE for a fully immersive home theatre experience. The optional PULSE SUB+ wireless subwoofer can also be added for extended low-frequency performance.
Made for Every Room
Compact and thoughtfully designed, the PULSE FLEX fits naturally into any space. Place it on a shelf, desk or countertop, or mount it neatly on the wall using the optional WM100 wall mount. An optional FS230 floor stand is also available for flexible freestanding placement.
Available in three stylish finishes — Black/Charcoal, White/Pebble Grey and White/Tan — the PULSE FLEX complements any interior aesthetic.
Simple Setup, Instant Playback
Setup takes minutes. Download the BluOS Controller app, connect to your Wi-Fi network and start streaming your favourite music. Three top-panel preset buttons give quick access to your most-used sources, while volume up/down and previous/next track controls keep everything within easy reach.
