Excellent mobile Bluetooth speaker. Deep bass with outstanding volume levels. Use it when I go for walks and biking.

I love this little speaker! It sounds great and has plenty of volume for what I use it for. My shower radio will not pick up any stations in my shower so this is permanently in my shower so I can listen to the local weather in the mornings before I head off to work and music at other times. it's connected by Bluetooth to my cell phone.
The only thing that worried me is the charging port is on top and it has no cover. I have it placed back against the shower wall under the shower neck to the shower head so it doesn't get any direct water on it and very little splashed on it at all, but I did purchase a plug that fits and covers the port just for my peace of mind. I am very satisfied with my purchase!
I added photos of wher I placed it in the shower and the port plug I added.

During quarantine I wanted to create a musical vibe in my space, outsideof my earbuds. Plus, I've always wanted a Bose speaker. When I tell you that this mini, waterproof, portable speaker goes boom-- it's definitely a crowd pleaser when at home or on the go! The price is just right. My Micro Portable will keep me hands free into the new year! One of my best purchases of the year!

This is one incredible unit. Sound is amazing, you can fine tune it with the BOSE app. In a bedroom, it is deep and loud. Outside by a pool, backyard is perfect! Even at the beach or fishing by a canal, it is amazing. I got mine on a sale, it was the best investment.

Excellent sound for its size. Straps perfectly tight to any belt for mobile music around a factory setting. It gets loud enough to out power the sound of noisy environments. Helps me escape work very well.

I recently purchased the Bose speaker and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The sound quality is exceptionally clean, delivering crisp and clear audio that enhances my listening experience. Additionally, the battery life is remarkable, lasting much longer than I expected, which is perfect for extended use. Overall, I highly recommend the Bose speaker to anyone in the market for a reliable and high-quality audio device.

I love this speaker. The only thing i dont love is how heavy it is. Otherwise the sound is great. Not always the best at super loud volumes, but i dont think anyone needs to go as loud as thisnspeaker goes. Otherwise the battery is great, the sound is good, even at very low volumes. I use this daily and have no reason to switch to another speaker ever again. I hope this lasts me many many years.

I've had a lot of Bluetooth speakers for use while playing golf, but this one tops them all. The rubber strap on the back allows you to secure it to just about anything, and the premium sounds quality is second to none.

I bought this tiny speaker to leave on my bathroom shelf. It's exactly what I was hoping for - fits perfectly-unobtrusive with great sound. I did consider a couple of other options in this category of speaker but ultimately got the Soundlink Micro. Bose hasn't let me down yet.

Love the white / gray version of this awesome little speaker. It’s great for hooking to the shoulder straps of a backpack for hiking, biking, or just sitting at the coffee shop and relaxing.
The sound is really amazing from something so small and light. I charged it quickly with a portable USB charger. I got it on sale for $99, and used a promotional gift card so it only really cost me $50.
I’ll get years of use out of this baby!!

I fell in love with this speaker when I did a sound test at my local Best Buy! It's got great bass, great sound clarity, and it doesn't sound distorted! I also love that it has an aux port, which is perfect for my portable DJ controller and the sound is in sync too! I definitely recommend this product to anybody who's a Bose fan like me!

The Bose SoundLink Micro is a very pleasant surprise! Though we obtained it for the family to use, I plan to get another one just for myself. Honestly, it is QUALITY audio from such a diminutive design that it is hard to resist. Here are some thoughts about our experience with Micro so far.
First and foremost - the sound! I have a very expensive pair of headphones as my primary means of listening to music. When those headphones are not in use, I also have a very nice set-up of loudspeakers in a couple of rooms in our home. I am picky about sound quality and I know every nuance of some of my favorite albums which I have listened to for years. Believe it or not, the SoundLink Micro actual competes! At much lower volumes, of course, and only when the Micro is placed in close proximity; yet, this little speaker puts out very rich and pleasing high-quality music. The lows, mids and highs are all there and well represented. The sound is as detailed, dynamic and accurate as a little speaker possibly could put out. When compared to other bluetooth speakers we own, I like the Micro somewhat better (more accurate) than our Bose SoundLink Mini II. The bass is also tighter on the Micro when compared to the MIni. The Mini has bass that punches deaper but it tends to drown out the highs. The Micro does not have that problem. I also like the Micro much better than our Bose SoundLink Color II. The Color is not nearly as dynamic though it plays louder. The only bluetooth speaker I like better is our Bose SoundLink Revolve which handedly tops the Micro in every area. That is, every area except for ruggedness and portability.
Speaking of portability, that is another aspect that makes the SoundLink Micro stand-out. It fits so perfectly in the hand. There is a nice weight to it that feels right. Also, the silicon outer shell has a quality feel to it. It does not quit feel rubbery in a cheap way. It reminds me more of the fluoroelastomer sports band that came with my wife’s smart watch. It just feels right. The back strap has the same quality feel. The strap secures firmly in place and seems durable enough to last for years. Though the speaker is small enough to fit in my pocket, I probably would rather use the strap to attach the speaker to a bag or belt. My son likes to strap it to his trumpet case when he goes to band practice (see photo). The speaker is both water proof and shock resistant which just adds to its portability. The small size and rugged “take anywhere” aspect of the Micro is what really sets it apart from every other speaker we own.
Bose claims that the battery will last up to six hours. Honestly, I have not kept track of how long we use the speaker before needing to charge it. I do know that our experience with Bose with our older speakers is that they tend to under promise and over deliver on their battery claims. I fully expect the Micro would last longer than six hours if played near 60% volume which is where I tend to keep it.
As to features, the Bose Micro has plenty. The speaker doubles as a speaker phone with a dedicated button to answer phone calls. The same button also multitasks to pause/play music, skip tracks and summon our devices’ voice assistant. The Bose Connect App is available to download to tweak the speaker’s auto-off settings and to update the firmware when available. Bose says that the App also serves to link the Micro to other Bose bluetooth speakers. I have not tried this feature yet, but certainly will soon. How awesome to have two speakers playing stereo music on the go!
The Bose SoundLink Micro is probably not for everyone, but for most will be absolutely fantastic. It certainly sounds nice for its size. Actually, it just sounds great - period. Great job Bose!
