Bluesound Re-launches the PULSE FLEX: A Compact Hi-Res Speaker for Any Room

Phil Werbin

After a decade of success, Bluesound has just announced a complete, ground-up re-design of its most popular all-in-one speaker: the PULSE FLEX.

This new version is purpose-built to bring high-resolution music into the everyday spaces of your home—like the kitchen, bedroom, or office—with a beautiful new design and effortless control.

The Sound: Hi-Fi DNA in a Small Package

Don't let the compact size fool you. The new PULSE FLEX is a hi-fi powerhouse, featuring:

  • A custom-designed SmartDSP amplifier

  • 50 watts of total system power

  • A 4” woofer and 0.75” tweeter

  • Full support for Hi-Res Audio up to 24-bit/192kHz, MQA, and DSD256 playback.

The Design: Built to Blend In

Bluesound focused heavily on a minimalist design that fits any home décor.

  • New Finishes: Available in three premium finishes: Black Charcoal, White Pebble Grey, and White Tan.

  • Flexible Placement: You can also get optional accessories like the WM100 Wall Mount, FS230 Adjustable Stand, and interchangeable fabric grilles to personalize the look and placement.

The Connections: Modern & Flexible

This is where the new PULSE FLEX truly shines. It’s built on the BluOS platform, giving you access to over 20 music services, and it's loaded with ways to connect:

  • Wireless: Dual-band Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2, and high-quality aptX HD Bluetooth.

  • Streaming: Spotify Connect, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect, and it's Roon Ready.

  • Wired: Gigabit Ethernet, a USB-C port, and a combo Optical/Analog input jack.

  • Smart Control: It has quick-touch preset buttons, IR learning, and compatibility with voice assistants and smart home systems like Control4 and Crestron.

The Ecosystem: More Than Just One Speaker

Because it's part of the BluOS ecosystem, you can:

  1. Use it as a powerful standalone speaker.

  2. Wirelessly pair two for a true stereo setup.

  3. Use two as rear surround speakers with a Bluesound soundbar (like the POWERNODE or PULSE CINEMA).

Pricing & Availability

The new PULSE FLEX will be available starting December 16, 2025, with a retail price of $349 USD. Give us a call or shoot over an email if you would like to place an order.
