Another home run from Bose. They never fail to deliver great sound. The SoundLink micro delivers great sound from a small package at a fair price.

I live this so much! I got it for my bicycle and it matches my orange theme, not to mention the sound quality is incredible and the strap is surprisingly secure ! I did however purchase a cover/case just in case. The case also has a Carabiner that I have attached to a zip tie for peace of mind! I like it so much I may purchase another and have surround sound now that I see they can be paired and do party mode!!!

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.

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 be 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!

Classy little speaker sounds amazing

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

Impressively BIG sound, small speaker!

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!

The SoundLink Max delivers excellent sound quality (which BOSE is known for!) The speaker measures in at 10.5” x 5” x 4” which makes it very portable. The first thing I noticed was the building quality. It has a little heft, which I love, and the rope handle is a nice touch.
The sound quality is amazing, which is nice is such a small package. Too many times, I have used bluetooth portable speakers, and the sound quality negates portability. The bass was not too much, and the mids sounded great. I am a big classical fan, and this speaker manages to perform well in the genre.
For battery, we are looking at 20 hours at moderate volume. I was able to use the device for around 5 hours, low volume, and the device was still at 100%, which was crazy. I believe if you keep the device at a decent to low volume, you could possibly see better battery life in terms of hours. There is also a USB-C port you can use to charge a phone, which is a neat feature to have. You can never have enough ways to charge handy.
Overall, this is a well-designed, excellent performing Bluetooth speak. This will be a daily driver for me and my family as the portablity and sound, along with excellent battery life make this a must have for us.

The Bose SoundLink Max Portable Bluetooth Speaker is an impressive piece of audio engineering and the Blue Dusk color is a nice touch too! The speaker is quite lightweight relative to the extremely impressive audio quality that it delivers. The deep base is stereo sound is really quite impressive and it will keep delivering such impressive audio for nearly 20 hours according to Bose on a single charge. When you're not charging the speaker, you can even use it to charge your phone! The speaker is charged by a USB-C charger (included). It has an IP67 Water and Dust resistance rating and so it's ready to go on your next adventure wherever that may take you. It weighs in at 4.7lbs and measures 4.73" H x 10.42" W x 4.13" D. It's definitely a companion you'll want with you wherever you're going. The handle at the top is detachable should you want to remove it. Setup was exceptionally easy using the Bose app on iOS. The app is also available on the Google Play store for those with an Android based phone or tablet. You can easily connect to the speaker using the app, Bluetooth or the Aux connection. I would definitely recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a speaker to take on the road with them!

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.

It also supports voice prompts and can easily switch between multiple devices. For hands-free operation, the speaker includes a built-in microphone for taking calls, which works well during calls, offering clear audio without distortion.

One of the standout features is its water-resistant design. It can handle a bit of splashing or rain, making it a perfect companion for outdoor activities like hiking, beach days, or poolside lounging.
Conclusion
Overall, the Bose SoundLink is a top-tier portable speaker that combines high-quality sound, durability, and portability.
