Whether you’re the go-to DJ in your crew or a curator with the best playlists, the Bose SoundLink Max Speaker is the ultimate party starter. The stereo sound and deep bass turn good times to the max, letting you feel the music from your head to your toes. And with a trendy removable handle, you can take the party anywhere. Water and dust-proof features mean it’s perfect for a poolside, beach, or rooftop hang. And when someone spills a drink or you run into unexpected showers, it never knocks the vibe. Amp up the party even more when you link two SoundLink Max Speakers. Choose Stereo Mode for left and right channels, or go for Party Mode for the biggest, boldest sound. Thanks to the epic battery life, you can keep bumping the playlist for up to 20 hours*, so the party can start in the day and carry on through the late night. Phone battery is running low? The USB-C port has got you covered. Power up from the speaker’s built-in battery. Get yours in Black or Blue Dusk.
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.
