Great Little Speak with all the sound

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.

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!

In my relentless quest for the perfect portable speaker, the Bose SoundLink Micro has not only met but exceeded my expectations, becoming an indispensable part of my daily life. Its sound quality is nothing short of a revelation in the realm of compact speakers.
The SoundLink Micro stands out in a crowded market with its unparalleled clarity and volume. This gem of engineering delivers a sonic experience that defies its diminutive size. It's a triumph of audio engineering that must be heard to be believed.
Durability is another area where this speaker shines. I've put it through its paces, from casual use to more adventurous outings, and it's weathered every scenario with aplomb. Its robust design ensures that neither its aesthetic appeal nor its acoustic performance is compromised, no matter how hectic things get.
For those who appreciate the finer nuances of music, the SoundLink Micro is a revelation. It preserves the integrity of subtle ambient tracks, a feat rarely achieved by portable speakers. This attention to detail in sound reproduction sets it apart as a true connoisseur's choice.
Its design is the epitome of convenience. Attaching it to my belt is a breeze, taking just seconds, and once it's on, it stays put securely without any awkwardness or inconvenience. This ease of use enhances its appeal as a go-to speaker for all occasions.
Initially, I envisioned it as merely a portable speaker, but it has effortlessly taken on the role of my primary room speaker as well. Its versatility in seamlessly transitioning from an outdoor companion to an indoor sound system is remarkable.
In conclusion, the Bose SoundLink Micro is not just a speaker; it's a statement. 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.

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!

Having owned the Bose SoundLink Micro Portable Bluetooth Speaker for over three years now, I can't help but sing its praises. This is actually my 3rd purchase of the same speaker and what sets it apart is its ability to connect multiple speakers together, creating a surround sound experience that's simply fantastic.
One of its standout features is its waterproof design. Despite countless encounters with water, whether in the shower or by the pool, it still functions perfectly. It's a testament to its durability and reliability.
Compact yet powerful, this speaker delivers impressive sound quality in any setting. It's become a staple in my daily routine, providing tunes while I shower or keeping the party going during outdoor adventures.
With its reliable battery life and Bluetooth connectivity, it's always ready to go when I am. If you're in the market for a portable speaker that's both rugged and versatile, the Bose SoundLink Micro is an absolute must-have. Highly recommended!

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.

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.

I am super in love with my boss speaker. While it is portable , it remains in my bathroom as I am serious shower taker. I initially chose it as it seemed to have the’ crispest ‘ sound after my sound test in the store. The audio *could* be better but for the size it is pretty good. I downloaded the accompanying app and I can turn the speaker on and off via my phone. I like how the speaker voice prompt tells me of the battery levels upon powering it on and the battery life is rather well as I probably only have to charge once a week. It also charges rather quickly .I am totally keeping this speaker !

I’m in love with this speaker because it offers excellent sound in a merely 3.75” square by 1.25”
I’ve tried different small speakers before and I lived with the idea that adding a good bass into a compact was an impossible, but Bose has it solved with this one.
I love the bottoms, its soft rubberized design, the vinyl strap to secure it in many places including my belt, definitely perfect.
The voice activated feature works great with Siri to make phone calls, hand free texting, etc.
The apps works seamlessly and Bluetooth connectivity works great!
Excellent choice for the price!

You get what you pay for. That’s why it pays to get a bows over any of the other small Bluetooth speakers out there. The bass is perfect. The midrange and highs are there too. I clip mine to the shoulder harness of my 5.11 backpack and it fits very secure. It’s also water resistant, making it the perfect tool for taking a hike.
Well worth the $99!!

I bought this speaker to attach to my URB-E scooter and it works great. I don't like riding with headphones so this let's me hear some music while I cruise at the beach or in the bike lane. Small speaker but the sound is big even outdoors and very portable. You won't find a louder speaker at this size and at this price

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.

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.
