    Amazing sounds! Just wish they were made in America! Having problems pairing two together but working on it.

    Of note: I travel a lot and use this when on the road. I don't feel like my ipad has sufficient volume for use when getting ready in the morning or for use in hotel gyms, etc. In comes this little fellow. Very easy to pack and bring with you, puts out more than enough sound and very ease to pair with my ipad via bluetooth. It wasn't what I knew I needed until I got it and wonder why I did not come to that realization sooner. I did buy a carrying case for ~$10 to protect it in my backpack.

    This little thing is awesome to have as portable speaker, its small, battery lasts and small enough to carry around. Also it has a strap which I use to secure it to my bicycle to ride with music. So if you wana have music around you when you on the go and small enough to carry around with you this is the item you want

    Its a really small item that can easily fit onto my pocket. Can bring it around places without any problems. Whats even better is that it has great audio with a good sound range, working really well for background music while im cooking or cleaning the house. Totally recommend this item.

    I love this little speaker. Great clarity and sound quality. I use it with my phone and TV. Perfect for me since I am a little hard of hearing. So I was bummed out when I realized I had tossed it in the washer and it had gone through an entire 57 minute cyle. I gave it a few days to dry out before trying it out. I am amazed ... it is working perfectly!!! So worth the price.

    I have an other model of the SoundLink, but this delivers much better bass, the sound is more crisp.

    The sound is crisp. We also love the size, we can carry it anywhere and use it without worrying of it getting damaged. We ended up buying 2 of them.

    This five-star rating is closer to 4.5. The exceptional Bose quality and sound is there, but this series of speakers can be muddled in the middle. I bought two for stereo purposes (closely follow directions to set this up) and have used them primarily outside when we are grilling or relaxing.

    My husband wanted a small speaker that he could use with his phone. Wanted one that was construction proof. I knew I couldn't go wrong with Bose! Perfect size, great sound!

    I looked on- line at a huge amount of outdoor speakers for a gift for my boyfriend. I thought I wanted large speakers and in the end I decided to go with the Bose-SoundLink Micro which is pretty small in size. He couldn't love it more and uses it every single day. He is a runner and has it clipped to his arm, we take it on bike rides, to the beach etc. The sound is loud and amazing. Also it is completely water proof. A great feature is the tight strap in the back that has very little give. It won't fall of anything it is strapped too.

    I like that it’s easy to carry around. Has pretty good sound. The battery does not last as long as I think it should compare to many of the other portable speakers I’ve had.

    Powerful clear sound with bass. Its quality is what a consumer would expect from a Bose product. Connects easily with blue tooth. One of the coolest feature of this speaker is that it’s waterproof. Sound was not compromised during a brief weekend shower at an event. Excellent purchase if you are looking for quality sound.

    Good, but not incredible for teh price

    When I got the Soundlink Max it was on sale (60 bucks off) and I still returned it. It had much more bass than teh smaller soundlinks. The bass was a little "muddy" though. Mids weren't great and highs were meh as well. Only the bass was better than my gen 1 soundlink flex. The flex has a nicer sound for mids and highs but lacks the bass that the max has. For teh typical price, I'd recommend the Sonos Move 2 waaaay over the soundlink max. Much richer sound, nice bass (tighter/cleaner). Someone who like dance music (electronic, house, etc), the max was ok, and a little more bass overall (than move 2), but i'd still recommend teh move 2 even for that. Much richer sound overall and still very good bass (due to being clean bass, it doesn't seem as "bassy" with some club music, but it still has plenty and produces the low frequencies very well. Personally, I would not recommend it for the cost. If it was arpunmd 250 dollars, sure, but for 350-400, no.

    Very easy to use; I downloaded the app, and it started playing an .mp3 on my phone, even though I wasn't using the music player app. But when I started the latter app, I was able to control the sound through the speaker quite well. It was a little soft, but I found that I could also control the volume through the music player app -- it's just that I keep my phone volume pretty low. The sound is very nice and smooth, but I don't think it would be loud enough for, say, a party. I listen to recorded spoken word, not music, so my preference is not for shaking the walls.
