Bowers & Wilkins Formation Flex Wireless Speaker

Flex is performance and flexibility.

Our smallest wireless speaker has big sound. Whether working alone, with a Flex partner in stereo, or as part of a surround-sound system with Formation Bar and/or Formation Bass, Flex has convenience with performance to match.

It’s only small when you look at it

Equipped to excel

Flex uses a 25mm decoupled double-dome tweeter and 100mm woven glass-fiber mid-bass driver to deliver superb hi-res audio.

Flex = muscle

100 watts of Class D amplification means Flex is a big, bold, hi-res listen when it’s working alone.

Supreme flexibility

Add a second Flex to create a compact, high-performance stereo pair. Or form a surround-sound system by adding Bar and Bass.

Music from anywhere

Flex is ready to deal with Bowers & Wilkins Music App, Wi-Fi, Apple AirPlay 2©, Bluetooth, Roon and Spotify Connect – to a 24-bit/96kHz hi-res standard.

Complete control

Control your entire Bowers & Wilkins wireless audio system using our Music app for iOS and Android. Organize your speakers into groups, integrate your favorite streaming services, and enjoy an unrivaled combination of high-resolution audio performance and absolute convenience.

Wireless revolution
