A: Hello. Thank you for the great questions! The SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker will take approximately 4 hours to go through a full charging cycle (0-100% battery life). It will play for 6 hours at normal listening levels. We don't have an exact number for play time at maximum volume, but you can expect it to be less than the 6 hours. We also don't have an exact sound intensity (dB) specification available to provide, but we can say that for the small size of this speaker, you will definitely be impressed by what you hear! We hope you take the opportunity to try one out! Thanks - Brian
A: There is a tab on the back that can be used to attach to your shower curtain rod or shower door if you want. It can also be used to attach to bike handlebars as well.
A: Hello DangerNate, Great question! The SoundLink Micro is fully waterproof so the exposed port and holes should have no trouble at all resisting sand intrusion. That being said, sand is an abrasive and some simple precautions such as a good rinse after use means you can enjoy your music anywhere you can carry the Micro - including the beach! Best Regards, Greg - Bose Support
Q: Can I use any car charger to charge the SoundLink Micro ???
A: You can use any car adapter and any micro usb cord to charge
Q: Can I pair my Samsung S7 cell phone, and play my Pandora app through this Bluetooth?
A: Yes. It works very well.
Q: Can I use the charger from my IPhone 6 or my IPad to charge my Bose Soundlink Micro?
A: NO; does not accept Apple lightning connection, but comes with charger cable
Q: How does the strap attach around a bike or backpacks? Is it magnetic or does it stretch?
A: The strap stretches and attaches to the unit via a tab that hooks into a slot on the speaker. The strap stretches enough to allow for attaching to something about the size of a bike handlebar or similar. The connection is somewhat tenuous and I would not trust it if I were riding a bike. It's really meant for attaching to something that isn't moving.
A: It is a tight micro USB port. Use a bit of force.
