Expensive but it's worth for the price

First and foremost, this speaker is indeed a premium investment—heavy and on the pricier side, but worth every penny.
When it comes to sound quality, this speaker overwhelmingly upholds Bose's renowned reputation for exceptional audio. I take it with me everywhere, whether I’m working in the garage, enjoying music, or streaming shows from my phone. It's consistently reliable, delivering an impressive sound experience every time.
The Bose app enhances the Bluetooth connection by allowing you to tailor the audio with a straightforward equalizer that adjusts bass, midrange, and treble. This feature is particularly valuable because the speaker tends to emphasize bass. And let me tell you, the sound quality is remarkable. The powerful bass is so strong that you can feel the air moving in front of the speaker. It easily saturates a room with rich, clear sound and reaches high volumes without any distortion.
Battery life is another standout feature; it barely dips, only about 20%, even after several hours of moderate use. With my frequent usage, I find myself needing to charge it only every 1.5 weeks. Overall, this speaker ranks among the best investments I have ever made.

I bought the Bose SoundLink Max a few weeks ago, and it has honestly exceeded all my expectations. The sound is impressive: powerful bass, crisp highs, and an overall balance that makes any type of music sound incredible. I've tried many portable speakers, but none compare to this one in terms of audio quality.
What surprised me most was the volume it can reach without distortion. I've used it at outdoor gatherings, at the beach, and at home, and it's always performed perfectly. The battery lasts a long time, easily giving me more than 20 hours on a single charge.
Plus, the design is sleek and robust. You can tell it's made with quality materials. It's also water-resistant, so I don't worry if it gets splashed or if I take it to the pool.
In short, if you're looking for a portable speaker that combines power, clarity, durability, and style, the SoundLink Max is an investment worth making. Bose has done it again!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that the Bose SoundLink Max has exceeded your expectations and that you’re enjoying its powerful sound, long battery life, and durable design. It’s always wonderful to know our products are making a positive difference in our customers’ lives. We appreciate your kind words and your support — enjoy your speaker and happy listening!

Bought this as a gift for my 16 year old son, per his request . He loves it. Great sound and very portable . I personally like the smaller version b/c which he also has because it is lighter and more portable but but he had to have the bigger one he says it has better bass and is louder . We have never tested the range and are always pretty close to it .
Good sound, not great but not bad when used for ca

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.

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!

I will say this is an insane speaker. Straight forward bluetooth. No wifi or vocie assistant. Its designed strong and packs a punch. Its the perfect beach and pool speaker. It is not intended to be a home speaker which is why it lacks the sonos features. Bose does it again. Big sound. Small design! It is a luxary purchase as it had an intended function as an on the go speaker not a home speaker.

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.

This is the best portable Bose Speaker I have ever owned. Bass is beautiful and perfect. Sounds AMAZING. Would completely buy again if i had to get another one, I might even purchase one for my game room, this connects super easy and fast via Bluetooth and I just am amazed how powerful it is being that it is extremely portable because of its size

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!

I used this speaker on a beach vacation and it worked perfectly. Very loud and clear. It produced nice bass on the beach. We also forgot to charge our phones one night so it was a nice option to use the speaker to charge phones on beach!

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!

Coming from the Revolve with the smart speaker and revolve and revolve plus the sound on this is immense and i dont even have to go more than 50% volume!. Its also a lot bigger than I thought too! It has a nice durable handle and not a hinge like the revolve and the smart bose speaker (or i call that one revolve deluxe). I've had/have several Bose products. This one does not miss the mark!

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.

Introducing SoundLink Max Speaker. Epic stereo sound and deep bass turn good times to the max, letting you feel the music from your head to your toes. And with its compact design and removable handle, you can take the party anywhere you are. I recommend it!

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 !

Great little portable wireless, waterproof sturdy speaker. I purchases mainly for camping and kayaking. Connects easily, long lasting battery, usb charge, adjustable band. Good sound quality & value you'd expect from Bose.
