Q: QuestionI need a waterproof speaker. I travel a lot with my job and need one for the shower area. My phone will only play so loud and do not want to expose it to the moisture. Do any of the speakers come with clips or are magnetized to stay in place? Thank you!

Asked 8 years ago by Sedric.

• A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionWill sand from the beach damage this speaker? There are many holes on top as well as an exposed charging port (no protective cover over it) and I'm a bit nervous about taking it to the beach.

Asked 7 years ago by DangerNate.

• A:Answer 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!

Q: QuestionHow does the strap attach around a bike or backpacks? Is it magnetic or does it stretch?

Asked 8 years ago by Krystal.

• A:Answer 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.

Q: QuestionI have these speakers, want to use them with a bluetooth cd player. Any suggestions for which CD player to buy and/or what wording to look for on portable CD players that would confirm Bose speakers would be compatible? Thanks!

Asked 4 years ago by bamster.

• A:Answer I looked a long time to find a bluetooth CD player with the feature you need which is called Bluetooth OUT or Bluetooth transmit. The CD player needs Bluetooth transmit mode, which is not a common feature. Most CD players called Bluetooth are using Bluetooth Receive. I bought a receive/transmit player to use with my Bose Soundlink Micro. Unfortunately, I have not yet figured out whether the soundlink will pair with the CD player. It didn't work on the first try but maybe lots of starting and stopping will get it to work eventually sometimes. The Soundlink doesn't pair reliably for me with all devices so I don't know whether the soundlink micro is actually compatible. The CD boombox I got is branded as Studebaker but only one of their models does transmit mode.

Q: QuestionCan I hook up my MP3 player to this speaker and have good sound levels in the car while driving? If so, do I just use the earbud output on the MP3 player to link to the speaker?

Asked 4 years ago by Dave.

• A:Answer I can only answer half of this question because I only utilize the Bluetooth connection with my iPhone. As far as sound performance in the car, it’s barely enough to say that it’s ok. My Bose sits in front of my center console where my navigation screen is at. The music level does get loud, but it’s NOT putting out any noticeable bass or lows, loud for highway driving with the windows up. It’s relatively ok in the midrange and vocals. It works good with voices, things like sport talk radio. For some reason, it’s volume is poor on telephonic calls. It’s nowhere near good enough to replace my car stereo, but it’ll just get me by while my car stereo system gets fixed.
