Bowers & Wilkins Adds to Flex Wireless Speaker Family With Compact Model

Bowers & Wilkins expanded its Formation audio line Wednesday, announcing the Flex, billed as a 2 x 50-watt compact wireless speaker system. Like the other five speakers in the Formation wireless speaker family, the speaker touts sound quality, streaming at 96/24-bit Hi-Res quality over Wi-Fi. It resembles a Sonos One in form factor, but voice control isn’t shown as a feature for the 8.5-inch-tall Bluetooth speaker that’s compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect and Roon. B&W promises free delivery, 30-day returns and a two-year warranty on its website, but it didn’t give price or availability other than “coming soon.” The company didn’t respond to questions.
