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.
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.
Equipped to excel
Flex uses a 25mm decoupled double-dome tweeeter and 100mm woven glass-fibre mid-bass driver to deliver superb hi-res audio.
Complete control
Control your entire Bowers & Wilkins wireless audio system using our Music app for iOS and Android. Organise your speakers into groups, integrate your favourite streaming services, and enjoy an unrivalled combination of high-resolution audio performance and absolute convenience.
Wireless revolution
Formation is our exclusive wireless technology – it guarantees a flawless listening experience, no matter how extensive your system. Using a robust, independent network, our wireless speakers deliver perfect room-to-room synchronisation and outstanding sound.

*Formation products create a mesh network. Each product in this network dynamically chooses the optimal path to route audio-data between products, in order to ensure a robust streaming experience. We have therefore certified Formation products for High Network Availability (HiNA) and conform to the appropriate power requirements set out in the ERP directive.
