Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this speaker in a desperate moment when my old bluetooth hands free calling device decided to give up the ghost early one morning. I needed to get a new device as soon as the store was open. I looked through the few they had in stock, and this one, although expensive, seemed like the best way to go. The sound quality is of course great, its Bose, the package is small and the battery lasts all day+. It hooks up to 2 cell phones at once. The controls are straight forward and the body of the speaker is rubbery so it generally stays put. That leads me to the drawbacks. There is no visor clip to hang the speaker. The rubber strap on the back of the unit is to small to attach the unit on anything. I realize it's made for backpack straps, but a little more give or adjustability would have made a big difference. As far as using it for calls, my end is great but people have had trouble hearing me in certain situations like on the highway at 75. Not a game ender but a little annoying. Overall I like the speaker. I'm gonna work on fashioning a visor clip, or some type of gluing to the dash of the truck. Don't regret the purchase, just need to work out a few bugs. But good speaker.

Nice speaker. Good sound quality.love the fact I can clip it just needs a more secure way to clip it. Not really good if you are using it to wear while walking/ working out.

The sound is great for such a small device. Battery life is only okay compared to the small Bluetooth speaker that I had previously (purchased via Amazon). I have not yet had to test the waterproof capabilities. Stone Blue color is exactly as pictured. I have added a photo to show how small the speaker is compared to my watch.

The sound quality is clear and balance what you excect from Bose. It produces good sound for its size. About 90% full volume the sound start getting a little muddy and dull. But i never need to turn it that loud. I usually use this speaker in the back of my rig for tailgating or take it with me on bike rides. It has a rubber strap on the back to make it easy to tie it down to different thing, including my MOLLE panel. I say the only negative is, it a little pricey and the battery life is not the greatest. But still give it a 4.5.

I’m very satisfied with this purchase. It is small with a HUGE sound.

Bose performance and quality sound but for the price point, I was expecting a longer battery life. All in all I would buy it again. 4.5 of 5 stars (for the poor battery life)

Its handy and have a good sound on it the battery last long too..

The sound quality is decent. I use with my iPhone and I never put the volume above 80 percent or you will lose the base when listening to music. Much better with spoken word listening like podcasts and talk radio. Not the biggest fan of the strap as it has already started to lose elasticity after only a couple of stretches. Also the hook doesn’t hold that well without really hard tension and comes loose on its own. Definitely not the most secure like the carabiner on other speakers. Also it took damage pretty quickly on the back grill, not even sure what cause the damage. Good small speaker but definitely wait for sales.

I've held off on acquiring a Bluetooth speaker for quite a long time. After seeing the pros and cons of those owned by friends, I decided to give the Bose Soundlink Micro a try. I'm really pleased with this little guy. It has the sound quality we've come to expect from Bose. Nice midrange, highs that aren't tinny and decent bass (actually exceptional bass for its size). IThough sized for personal use, the volume has enough oomph for others to enjoy it while at pool party or hiking/biking. You can control the volume via your source (phone, computer or other Bluetooth origin) or via two indentations/buttons on the Bose. The Soundlink is covered in a satin silicone coating for resilience and waterproofing (IP7!) This means you can have it outdoors in the rain, or accidentally drop it into a puddle, ice chest or your drink (you know you have!) and it comes out like a champ. Of course, you shouldn't drop it because it has an integrated flexible strap allowing you to wrap it around a handlebar, backpack strap, etc. Another cool feature is that the Soundlink has a microphone so you can use it as a speakerphone. It looks good enough for an office environment. Pretty cool.

This speaker has really clear sound, strong bass, and gets loud without distortion, and the battery lasts a long time even with daily use. I’ve had it for a while now and it’s been reliable, easy to carry, and definitely worth the money.

Great sound, great size. Love the handle color and volume. Mids are crisp and clear, bass was great after I bumped it up in the app. Tough and great for the pool and beach

Great sounds! deep base but expensive!! compared it to my soundcore motion boom plus and tbh its actually louder than this soundlink max!.. yes go on youtube and see reviews but all are done with in 2 feet distance. i placed both speakers against the wall in my garage and walked away about 20 ft. had the volume set the same on both and the montion boom plus was way louder!. will i keep the Bose yes.. only because i was able to price match and had some rearwards points. if it wasn't for the savings i would of returned this speaker the next day and stick with my soundcore speaker. buy it and try the distance review..

I have Echo Dots in the house and wanted something similar for outdoors. This is about the same size and the music quality is a bit better so it works fine for that. The battery life, sound quality and volume is what I would expect for a speaker at this price range. The unexpected use is listening to the music on the iPhone when I'm using my pickup that only has a CD player. I'm not just stuck listening to the radio or carrying CDs around! My only concern is that the strap looks a bit fragile but I haven't tried using it so maybe it will be fine.

Purchased as a gift for my middle-school son who wanted something portable with better sound quality than a loud cell-phone. This definitely fits the bill, as the sound quality is excellent and what I would expect from a Bose product. Connecting to a smartphone or other Bluetooth device was quick and easy and my child was able to get the speaker up and running and listen to music without opening the manual. Although we have not tested its waterproofing feature, the black rubber shell seems thick, durable and likely to survive being dropped or banged around. The controls are minimal and self-explanatory, and the unit can be recharged with common USB cabling (which was included with the product). I am not sure how reliable the rudimentary clasping mechanism on the strap will be after some use and wear and tear but time will tell. The price seems a little high for what you get (hence the four-star rating) but I presume the "Bose" branding increases the price.

Was on the fence for a while when shopping for a small Bluetooth speaker. Great sound quality, like that it has the ability to link an additional speaker, so I might buy another. Took on vacation and played by the pool in hot sun and splashing waters . No issues .even use it on my bike. Highly recommended at sale price .

This little BOSE speaker has a great kick to for it's portable size. It's price is a little hefty but I seem to get a lot of use out of it either when I'm biking and or hiking on nearby trails. The color is sleek compared to everything else I buy in black, it's a nice change. The sheer micro size makes it possible to fit in nearly any pocket, including your pants! The only real issue I had with it was it's price but your purchasing the house hold name. However, other then that I really do enjoy this portable speaker.

The bose speaker was my choice for my beach cruiser. Small speaker that can be strapped to handle bars with a good quality sound and carries a good amount of battery life, very durable and water resistant. The sound at times may not be loud enough in large outdoor crowds but is sufficient for me to hear and im ok with that

Love the full rich sound deep booming base and seemless bliuetooth connectivity the feature that im really impressed with is party mode were you can connect 2 bose link max speakers for real stereo sound love the technology would definitely recommend to friends and family

I bought this for teleconferencing and it works pretty well for that. There have been times when there is some echo but I had the volume up pretty high when that happened. I'd rate it a five if it had better noise cancelling capabilities with the mic. It has decent quality for music considering how small it is. The bass is impressive for this size. I may get another one to have the stereo experience. The battery life is excellent! I turned off the auto-shutdown feature and have left this on overnight and it doesn't lose much power. I also like that it can be connected to two devices simultaneously. The audio switches nicely between the two devices. This functionality is similar to the Bose 700 headphones.

U can’t go wrong with a BOSE.. great sound for a the size.. don’t think price is worth it, but it’s pretty loud for the size.. battery life is not so good on high volume.. but otherwise, it’s a pretty good speaker..
