Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

This little speaker has amazing sound. This is actually my second one. I have one at home for around the house and fits in my backpack for hikes and this one is used at work (construction). Great Bluetooth range @ least 50’. just AWESOME

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

I love the Bose brand and this little speaker sounds great! I purchased an orange one for myself, especially when I'm out on my kayak and loved it so much I purchased the blue one for my other kayak.

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.

It's so loud that everyone on the floor can hear it when I play it in the bathroom. Great sound quality and amazing amplification range.

Best all in one portable sound system for fidelity, quality, durability, esthetics. Heavy, built like a tank. Really want 2 for the stereo sound. AMAZING sound. Very long lasting battery for multiple days of constant use for needing to recharge. You can charge over devices via USB-C port. Paid under $300 and it's currently selling for $340-400 which SUCKS. Need this at $300 or less. Took it all over puerto rico on vacation. Heavy! Again but better than most home systems by itself

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

I didn’t expect the quality of sound from a device so small. I love it!

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.

The sound quality is decent. I use with my iPhone and I never put the volume above 80 percent or you will lose the base when listening to music. Much better with spoken word listening like podcasts and talk radio. Not the biggest fan of the strap as it has already started to lose elasticity after only a couple of stretches. Also the hook doesn’t hold that well without really hard tension and comes loose on its own. Definitely not the most secure like the carabiner on other speakers. Also it took damage pretty quickly on the back grill, not even sure what cause the damage. Good small speaker but definitely wait for sales.

I bought this to replace my Bose Mini SoundLink 1. That speaker served me for 11 years! College parties, beach trips, kayaking, camping, work, grilling, sad boy hours. You name it, that speaker played its little heart out. It became an icon in the friend group. While many have had 4-6 speakers over the years, I've had just the one. I unfortunately dunked it in water while on the river. The battery was beginning to fail anyway, but that deemed to be too much for my Mini. It still played for a few hours after that, but its final song was Great Expectations by Day Wave on 07/04/2024. It played all the way through and turned off for its last time. I put that speaker though things it was never built to do, and it just kept going. I bought the Max because it IS built to withstand my lifestyle, and Bose as a portable speaker has won me over. I will forever buy Bose, and this speaker.. I mean wow! What a sound! The battery life is incredible, the tone and bass is amazing! truly one of the best sounding Bluetooth speakers I've heard for its size. To be fair it's a little too soon to tell, but if this is anything like my Mini SoundLink 1, (and this can withstand the river) I will be playing music out of it for many years to come, and I believe this too will become the next icon amongst friends and family. I have already enjoyed many hours from the new Bose Max.

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.

Indulge in a sensory voyage like no other with the Bose SounkLink Max speaker, a harmonious fusion of syle, power, and unparalleled audio prowess. From the moment you press play, you're catapulted into a realm where sound transcends mere listening and becomes an immersive experience that envelops your entire being. Let's start with the design, sleek, sophisticated, and undeniably Bose. The SoundLink Max blends well in any environment, whether you're sitting around a cozy fire or partying pool side. It's compact size belies its capabilities, making it the perfect companion for both intimate moments or lively celebrations. The SoundLink Max isn't just about raw power. It's also about versatility and convenience. With its seamless bluetooth connectivity you can effortlessly stream your favorite tunes from any compatible device, freeing you from the constraints of wires and cables.

I use this speaker every day, and it has been worth it. The sound fills the room without distortion, and the bass is deeper than I expected. It’s easy to move around thanks to the handle, and the battery lasts a long time. I also like that it’s durable and can handle being used in different rooms. It’s simple to pair and works smoothly with my phone. Definitely one of my favorite purchases.

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.

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!

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!
