Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this little guy, but you could get by with a JBL Go3

Excelente little Spike does what supposed do I like I really recommend good good.

I love that it's portable, sounds great and charges quickly.

I am so impressed that a speaker this small can produce such great sound! This speaker blows away any other mini speaker I have ever owned. The sound is rich and the bass sounds great. The speaker is waterproof and encased in rubber so it will hold up to picnics and pool parties but I like to listen to it in the house too. It's the perfect bathroom speaker and it's great in the kitchen while I'm making dinner. It's very lightweight and has a stretchy rubber strap on the back so you can hook it on almost anything. The app lets you name the speaker, check the devices it's currently connected to, pair two speakers in Party Mode and set auto timers. You can control the volume from the app or directly from the speaker. When the speaker is paired to my smartphone it acts as a speakerphone and the sound is very good. There are two buttons on the speaker, on/off and Bluetooth. When the speaker is first turned on it tells you how full the battery charge is and what devices it is connected to. It remembers the last two devices it is paired to and you can clear devices and keep them in memory for next time. With the amazing sound quality and compact size, I use this speaker daily and in many different places. Definitely recommend this little speaker for its great sound quality and portability.

I love this little speaker. I have review a bunch of Bluetooth speakers so I know what I like. Setup was easy. There is a special Bose Connect app, but you don't need it. You can connect just through the bluetooth setting like any other speaker. The only thing the app does that you might need is a firmware update oh and party mode where you connect multiple Micros together. I am not keeping it on my phone. When you turn it on a very nice lady tells you the battery level. I love this. When you connect to a device, she tells you and even says the name of what you connected to. The documentation says it is waterproof. For me that means it's ok to be outside when it starts to rain. Then I put it under cover. I'm not going to push it. There is a rubber strap on the back that disconnects on one ent then snaps back. It's kinda tight, so I'm not sure what I can use it for. The charging cable is the standard USB Micro. I wish it was USB C because that is where things are moving. Finally, the sound! It is awesome. gets nice and loud with full base. I listened to it for hours around my campfire and decided I just love it. The size is very nice too. Overall a very well made classy speaker. Notes: - Water proof so you can use it outside without fear - Sounds amazing, loud volume, clear sound - Long 6 hour battery life - Nice lady tells you the battery level and when you are connected - Don't really need the app to connect. - Uses micro USB cable, would have liked USB C - Strap on back to attach speaker to something

This bluetooth speaker from Bose boasts impressive volume from such a small unit, very capable of playing over crowd or background noise, and has the capability of connecting to other SoundLink Micros to offer a multi-speaker environment. Though, the numerous speaker set up seems unnecessary from my experiences with it. The speaker is able to produce a decent quality sound with more than enough volume to make itself heard in a crowd. The sound quality is comparable to other bluetooth speakers of a similar and even slightly larger size, good but not great. With that being said, for the settings you'll use it, the sound quality is more than good enough! Pros: -Compact and lightweight -Durable -Easy setup -Ability to pair with other Bose SoundLink Micros -Waterproof -Elastic strap to clip your speaker to a bike, backpack, or shower curtain rod! Cons -Elastic strap is not able to be used as a stand as well (makes sense as it is elastic) -Price per unit, one is sufficient for most things it's designed for but the ability to connect multiple to one device for a multi-speaker setup can be more costly than a larger bluetooth speaker I would highly recommend for smaller outdoor gatherings for some background music, cookouts, using on group bike rides, and for music in the shower. Very nice and durable little device!

Bose SOUNDLINK Bluetooth speaker may be small in size but its big in sound. Standard micro USB charging port (Li-ion batteries). Charge indicator LED s, and voice annunciation of charge level when you unplug the charging cord from the unit. Great features: * Deep bass sound, clear timber, excellent for music listening and speech. (Sample: DIDO 'here with me') * Waterproof ( I'll take BOSE's word for it!) * Palm sized unit, with rugged strap to hang it from your bike, umbrella, lawn chair, tent pole, whatever. * Quick charge with option to auto sleep through app settings. * Bluetooth connected phones can be answered and unit used as hands free speaker. * Effortless Bluetooth connectivity. CONTROLS: * Connect to Bluetooth * Slight depression so you can find the control buttons quickly without looking * separate up-down volume buttons * Center button to skip forward or backward in you music play list. * On/Off button My unit asked for a software update, which finished fairly quickly while it initially charged. Final word, I am truly amazed by the sound!

This is a great mobile speaker. Bose makes other portable speakers which sound better than this one, but the mobility of this one makes it great. For as small as it is and as easy it is to carry around or wear, the sound cannot be beat. The bass is surprisingly strong and the highs are easily attained. Walking around inside the sound varies a bit depending on the walls, size of the room, sound absorbing materials. But once outside (where this speaker needs to be used) the sound is pretty constant and surprisingly loud enough. The speaker feels solid and has some heft to it, but is not heavy. It easily straps to your belt or handlebars or backpack or any other kind of strap you may want to attach it to. The attaching strap seems solid and stretches just enough. The rubberized case makes it appear pretty impervious to damage, although dropping it should be unlikely due to the strapping system. Setting the Bluetooth up was pretty simple as Bose sound prompts walk you right through it. Sounds good, feels solid and is very portable a great all around package for a good price.

My wife like it very much.even co-workers like.Small but terrible.

We all have come across multiple small portable speakers and am sure everyone owns a few of them. Bose soundlink micro is a small portable speaker but with a difference - excellent sound. The packaging itself is as simple as it gets. The box includes speaker and a micro usb charging cable. The chaging indicator has 5 leds that turn solid when the speaker is fully charged and lasts around 6 hours of playtime. The speaker has a built-in strap that works really well when attaching to a bag or to a bike handlebar. It is really good quality that seems will last. The top has 3 buttons - dedicated volume up, volume down and a multifunction button that changes function based on what you are using the speaker for. WHile playing music it can be used to skip forward or go back and in call mode it can be used to answer calls. The side of the speaker has the bluetooth pairing button as well as the power on/off button. The speaker itself is rated at IPX7 waterproof and works well. The sound has excellent base that does not fade at high volume. The audio quality is crisp and makes this speaker a no brainer. This little bose speaker has raised the bar for all micro speakers.

Such a rich and crisp sound! I can listen in any room and it travels beautifully!!!!

Bose micro is one of the smallest portable speaker that I have owned so far and I think this is the one that has impressed me the most. The sound is just amazing (it's actually comparable to it's big brother Soundlink Revolve). I didn't hear any distortion even at loudest sound settings. It has a very useful, tear-resistant carry-on strap which allows you to strap it practically any where. The "bass" port is at the bottom so you will get the best bass performance if you put it on a flat surface. It's IPX7 certified that means it will survive a drop and full submersion in water. It's small enough to fit it in your pocket (it's a bit on the heavy side though). I am using it as speaker in my home office and have paired it with my Dell XPS desktop and I am very happy with it's performance.

I just got this new Bose portable speaker and it was designed to go with you everywhere. Main portability features are 1) small built with great sound, 2) weather/waterproof, and 3) excellent battery life. Don't be fooled by the size, it has a good sound for portability. It is not heavy and easily straps to any item, my kids love to carry it strapped to their backpacks. Note that this speaker only has a Bluetooth connection and it doesn't any aux connection. This could be a problem if your device doesn't have Bluetooth. This shouldn't be a major issue since most consumer high-tech electronics are being made with it. Also, you must download an app to be able to use the speaker. So if your phone doesn't have enough memory to download another app you might have an issue. One great option that the speaker has the ability to use any mini USB connection to charge it. I just hate it when a power cord gets misplaced but this speaker can use any mini USB charger. The kids truly enjoy this portable speaker.

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 Bose speaker absolutely blow me away when first using it. I was very surprised by the sound based on the size of the speaker. I was a bit unsure how it would sound before the speaker arrived. But it sounds absolutely phenomenal. The bass is quite noticeable and there is a good thump to it. But it could be a little stronger overall. All treble and mid sounded very clear and crisp. Even when taken to the max volume the speaker did not sound crackly or raspy. The build quality is very good, everything feels really nice in your hands and it has a nice weight to it as well. I also really liked the silicon rubber strap on the back. It made it very useful when riding my bike. I felt safer because I was able to listen to music while being aware of the surroundings. Also, the IPX7 water resistant rating came very handy. This is the first speaker I was able to bring into my shower and not worry about it getting little wet. So, overall this is a very powerful little speaker that you can bring almost anywhere without the worry of destroying it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice sounding speaker in this price range.

We bought this to use on our bike commute. Rubber strap with clasp is easy to put on and take off bike handlebars, and stays in place even on rough pavement/trails. Controls are also very user-friendly while biking / in motion. Produces very clear sound even at top value. Plenty loud- you can feel the bass vibrations though the handlebar. But doesn't turn up so loud to prevent you (or your kids) from still monitoring the surrounding traffic noise for safety. No known damage to the speaker so far from using it while riding in the rain. Connects to bluetooth on my iPhone quickly and consistently (not all bluetooth speakers are good at connecting to the input device). Battery life seems pretty robust. Haven't used it for a phone call yet, so can't say if the mic is any good. I try to avoid talking on the phone while biking, since that's much more distracting than just listening to music.

Tons of sound coming from this little speaker! I own several Bose products, including 3 Bose Soundlink Mini speakers... this speaker comes very close to them in sound and build. BTW, the app allows for Party or Stereo mode when connecting a pair. A nice feature. Packaging and set-up: Packaging is Bose standard: quality and careful packaging. Once unpacked, the speaker includes instructions, warrant info, as well as a USB cable and power adapter. The setup is easy: connect via Bluetooth to your device and install the Bose Connect application. Be sure to install all updates as needed in order to keep the unit compatible with other devices (and sometimes add new & exciting features). Build and sound: The build is great! Heavy enough to let you know that it's well crafted, yet light enough for portability. The silicon coating and waterproof design makes it durable and worry-free. The sound is amazing for such a small speaker. It's loud and maintains a good tonal balance. A lot of research and development went into this product. The silicon strap allows for easy mounting on bags, bikes, belts or even cabinet handles.... very versatile placement. (I’ve include pictures for reference). Final conclusion: This is definitely worth acquiring if you need a great portable speaker for hiking, biking or just for use around the pool. Moisture resistant, so no worries. The price is reasonable, especially considering the quality. Bose recently released several amazing products, so take a listen. This is a company that has evolved so much over the past few years, and all for the better! I look forward to seeing what’s in store for the future.

Works great. The sound is really good and love the color options. Easy to connect Bluetooth.

This is Exactly what I wanted from Bose, a water resistant speaker and tough enough to handle extream situations, I'm currently deployed in Afghanistan and this speaker is loud enough with perfect bass for its size, the sound quality is unmatched to the JBL flip 3 I have, though the JBL is louder but does not that the quality or bass I wanted. You get what you pay for with Bose products, now mind you this is a tiny speaker so don't think you are gonna get the sound like the Soundlink Mini, it's a bigger speaker thus bigger sound. But if your looking for light weight and durable to carry into any situations, this is the speaker for you. I highly recommend this product for any Bose fan
