Customer Ratings & Reviews

First and foremost, this speaker is indeed a premium investment—heavy and on the pricier side, but worth every penny. When it comes to sound quality, this speaker overwhelmingly upholds Bose's renowned reputation for exceptional audio. I take it with me everywhere, whether I’m working in the garage, enjoying music, or streaming shows from my phone. It's consistently reliable, delivering an impressive sound experience every time. The Bose app enhances the Bluetooth connection by allowing you to tailor the audio with a straightforward equalizer that adjusts bass, midrange, and treble. This feature is particularly valuable because the speaker tends to emphasize bass. And let me tell you, the sound quality is remarkable. The powerful bass is so strong that you can feel the air moving in front of the speaker. It easily saturates a room with rich, clear sound and reaches high volumes without any distortion. Battery life is another standout feature; it barely dips, only about 20%, even after several hours of moderate use. With my frequent usage, I find myself needing to charge it only every 1.5 weeks. Overall, this speaker ranks among the best investments I have ever made.

I bought the Bose SoundLink Max a few weeks ago, and it has honestly exceeded all my expectations. The sound is impressive: powerful bass, crisp highs, and an overall balance that makes any type of music sound incredible. I've tried many portable speakers, but none compare to this one in terms of audio quality. What surprised me most was the volume it can reach without distortion. I've used it at outdoor gatherings, at the beach, and at home, and it's always performed perfectly. The battery lasts a long time, easily giving me more than 20 hours on a single charge. Plus, the design is sleek and robust. You can tell it's made with quality materials. It's also water-resistant, so I don't worry if it gets splashed or if I take it to the pool. In short, if you're looking for a portable speaker that combines power, clarity, durability, and style, the SoundLink Max is an investment worth making. Bose has done it again!

This Bose speaker is built like a tank and delivers excellent sound. The Bose app makes setup, control, and firmware updates straightforward, and keeping the firmware current helps it perform at its best. It charges via USB‑C and includes an aux output, which is very convenient for flexible connections. The speaker is wrapped in a durable rubberized shell, and the buttons feel solid and well constructed, not flimsy or prone to peeling. Bluetooth pairing is seamless, the audio is especially impressive outdoors, and it is designed to handle getting wet, making it a great choice for use outside or around water.

Bought this as a gift for my 16 year old son, per his request . He loves it. Great sound and very portable . I personally like the smaller version b/c which he also has because it is lighter and more portable but but he had to have the bigger one he says it has better bass and is louder . We have never tested the range and are always pretty close to it .

Speakers of this size are hard to bring full sound to a space. This little guy does just that. Full and clean sound in a tight little package. I used it on a hike, at the beach, and while cleaning out the garage. It's a great sound for your personal space. I tried out the other speakers at this size, like the Sony, JBL and Klipsch. JBL is the only one that came close. It's definitely waterproof. Went on a 6-hour hike, and 3 hours of it was downpouring. My advice it go to the store and test them out for your self. I tried to do the whole YouTube thing and hear people testing them out but its just not the same sound. Remember, everyone has a personal preference for sound. I like EDM, Alternative, classic rock, and some R&B. The bass is sufficient for me, while keeping the other tunes in check to maintain a clean sound. Oh, and the clip is plenty sturdy for strapping to a backpack, beach umbrella or gararge door, or frame on a bike. The only negative is that it's a micro-USB not USB-C. Also, I believe the Bluetooth version is older, so you don't get as much of distance as others. But again, at this size it meant for your personal space not a party.

This music box has incredible sound- takes up little room ( actually I hide mine behind a tray in my kitchen) / it’s easily transportable from room to room ( however I bought a 2 nd one for my upstairs bedroom). It’s such great quality sound ( although I am biased to Bose as I feel their products exude the best clear quality sound with great bass and volume capability. The next best thing other than a regular stereo- just turn it on and enjoy great music- I carry it around to rooms in my home while I’m cleaning g- keeps me motivated. THE BEST portable music machine that’s out there !!

A testament to Bose's commitment to excellence in audio technology. It's set the bar so high that my loyalty now lies exclusively with Bose. For those in search of the best in portable sound, your search ends here with the SoundLink Micro.

Very well built. Sound quality is very clean and warm. Bass is not over powering and still feels deep. The bluetooth signal is always steady, and works through walls. Battery life is great even after playing it for hours turned all the way up. Charges fast, and light enough to carry around when I walk.

I’ve been using the Bose SoundLink Max for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been excellent. The sound is clear, balanced, and surprisingly powerful for a portable speaker. Bass is deep without being overwhelming, and vocals come through nicely. The build feels sturdy and premium, and the battery easily lasts all day on a single charge. Bluetooth pairing was simple and reliable. It is on the expensive side, but if you want great sound quality in a portable package, this speaker is worth it.

I’ve had a couple Bose speaker and this little beast is no exception to their great reputation! I use this in the morning when I’m getting ready or snap it into my caddy so that I get get extra energized while in the shower. Using it everyday, you would think would ware the charge, but I can get away with charging once every 3 to 4 weeks or so-maybe longer! It packs a lot of sound for a small space but isn’t overwhelming. And the size makes it super travel friendly!

I bought the little Bose SoundLink Micro Portable Bluetooth speaker as a "temporary fix" when I purchased a turntable to play my old LPs. I didn't know the turntable didn't come with speakers and I hadn't done any research so I got the little Bose speaker to use until I could figure which "real" speakers to buy. That was more than a month ago and I'm still using the little Bose speaker because it has great sound and excellent range. The audio is crisp, with a rich sound and deep bass. Sound quality is great at low volume, but if I have to turn the volume up I don't hear any distortion or loss of quality. I've since used it for its intended purpose: portability, and I love it for that, too. The Bluetooth pairing to my iPhone or my turntable was easy and painless. The only downside I'd say is the charging cord is very short. But the battery holds a long long charge, so that's good. (specs say 6 hour charge) I use it out by the pool and although I haven't tested it, reviews say it is waterproof - a bonus!

This is the best portable Bose Speaker I have ever owned. Bass is beautiful and perfect. Sounds AMAZING. Would completely buy again if i had to get another one, I might even purchase one for my game room, this connects super easy and fast via Bluetooth and I just am amazed how powerful it is being that it is extremely portable because of its size

I used this speaker on a beach vacation and it worked perfectly. Very loud and clear. It produced nice bass on the beach. We also forgot to charge our phones one night so it was a nice option to use the speaker to charge phones on beach!

So glad I purchased this amazing Bose speaker. The sound is crisp and the battery life last a very long time. Very durable!!! Very easy to wipe clean.

I I’ve never experienced such crisp and clear sound from a speaker of this size, and the deep bass is incredible. The first time I tested it in-store at Best Buy, I was completely blown away by the sound quality. I couldn’t wait and bought it the very next day. Yes, the price is on the higher end, but if you truly appreciate top-tier sound, this speaker is worth every cent. It’s now my go-to speaker, especially in the bathroom. The sound is so powerful that it completely drowns out the shower noise—something my old JBL could never manage. In a small room, it could almost replace the need for a home theater, delivering such rich, room-filling sound. The only thing I wish it had is a built-in voice assistant like Alexa or Google Assistant, but other than that, it’s a near-perfect speaker.

Bose continues its quality in this mini speaker. The sound is excellent, the connection Bluetooth is perfect. I have been a lover of Bose for years and it continues to deliver. There is a huge bass sound and the audio is loud enough for any situation or small listening group. The controls are easily accessible and once paired it recognizes those devices instantly. This speaker was well worth the price and it is designed as described. I also purchased the case in the same midnight blue color which is a perfect combo. I would highly recommend this speaker if you're looking for a mini speaker reasonably priced, portable and quality.

There's a lot of Bluetooth speakers out there that are much less expensive. But none of them sound as good, look as good, or attach as securely to your backpack, etc...as this Bose. Great for hikes (attaches to numerous places on the average backpack). It's water resistant and the battery lasts about six hours, The bass is pretty impressive. You can also simply set it on its back on a coffee table, and the bass bounces off the surface and creates a nice crisp, clear sound. Just get it on sale for $69 (once in a while it goes that low) and it's definitely worth that much.

This Bose speaker completely impressed me! The sound quality is crystal clear with deep, powerful bass and balanced highs. It easily fills the room or outdoor space with rich sound. The Bluetooth connection is fast and stable, and the battery lasts much longer than I expected. I love the sleek design and solid build — it feels premium. Perfect for music, parties, or travel. Definitely worth every dollar!

Nice sound quality. Easy to carry around. Very loud for its size.

I’m loving this speaker! For its size and weight, the performance is incredible, and the build feels super premium. The best part? The audio input makes it the perfect companion for my mobile office. I use it for video conferencing on the go, and it’s flawless—no annoying lag or audio cutouts at all!
