Customer Ratings & Reviews

After reading many positive reviews on this speaker and noting that two can be connected for stereo, I went to my local Best Buy and bought a pair of them. I Installed the Bose Connect app on my ipod and gave both speakers a full charge. The app was very easy to use to set up the speakers. I also liked the five battery charge and status lights on the tops of the speakers. Next it was time to see what they sounded like. Being that I am somewhat of an audiophile, I wasn't expecting too much, but I was very surprised at the full and rich sound that issued forth from the first speaker. The highs were all there; very detailed and realistic. The all-important midrange showed the true characteristics of instruments and vocals with very low coloration levels. Then there is the bass - Wow! And It is in nice balance with the highs and mids, and remains so even at very low volume levels. Now for the reason I purchased two of these; Using the app, I set up the second speaker which starts up in Party Mode (which is really double monophonic mode). Then I moved the mode switch in the app to Stereo Mode, and the sound suddenly opened up and became very three-dimensional with a wide sound stage and great depth! To say I am fully satisfied is big under-statement. Other pluses are the fact that they are rugged and waterproof. I also like the low-volume voice prompts. Most other Bluetooth speakers prompt you at full volume which can be distracting in a quiet setting such as an office. Of course nothing is perfect and here are some suggestions for Bose for a second generation model; How about designing a small flat area on the bottom so the speaker can sit upright on a flat surface or at a small back angle. A case or bag would also be a welcome addition as these speakers are meant for travel or camping. So, go out and buy one and you won't be disappointed. But better yet, buy two and use them in Stereo Mode for the best sound.

This speaker is great I only wish it had a stand. I can only lay it down because it doesn’t stand without falling.

Nice sturdy product. Great sound quality something u always expect from bose

It sounds good for the price. Not amazing, but good.

Great sound from Bose. Need to try it on a kayak trip.

Loud sound from a small package. I use this a speaker phone in my home office.

Works well for my application and provides controllable sound levels.

It plays great but I have the sound link 2 wish this speaker had more.

This works really well. I personally wish it had more of a base sound. I am disappointed about that. Otherwise it’s very nice and convenient.

This was a birthday present for my husband. I had already purchased another brand and gave him the choice of which to keep. He immediately choose this one and is extremely pleased with the choice.

speaker does the job but not as big a sound as I thought. Ok for simple but not what I expected.

I used it for outdoor party and it is waterproof..

A great speaker for its price! Bose doesnt disappoint!

Great sound not so great battery life!!what more you want?

THE SPEAKER HAS THE SAME VOLUME AS SOME SPEAKERS THAT ARE MORE THAN TWICE IT'S SIZE, BUT I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE A BIT LOUDER. HOWEVER, THE SOUND QUALITY IS EXCELLENT, SO I THINK IT'S A KEEPER. I WILL LOOK INTO SOMETHING LARGER WITH MORE BOOST NEXT TIME.

This does not have the same sound quality of Bose items that I own. Ok for a small speaker

Perfect speaker with great sound, portable... and elegant

Just what I was looking for. Easy to setup and easy to use.

This is my new laptop speaker........ it sounds great

What's in the Box ------------------------ Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth Speaker USB cable Owner's manual What's the Cost --------------------- About 110$ at the time of review How does it look ---------------------- it is small to fit in your palm and that is the intend. it comes with a nice rubberized strap which can be used to either strap it your backpack or bike or even your palm! it looks sturdy. it is IPX7 rated. i am not too much worried about dropping it in water or toilet but IPX7 also means that it is waterproof and well built which is more important for me It is also made of silicon rubber exterior and feels nice in hand. in addition to feeling nice, it also means that when you drop it, you dont have to worry about denting it. How does it connect -------------------------- it connects via bluetooth to any bluetooth capable device. I used my phone to test it out. i connected to my Alexa echo dot to this speaker and it connects seamlessly and plays my amazon music. it is rated at 6 hours of battery, i did not get a chance to fully test it yet. How does it sound ------------------------- i have two other bluetooth speakers at home. i have the bose soundlink mini and i also have a TDK life on record TREK 360. One thing about bose is that you can clearly hear all the instruments used and with great amount of clarity, be it the bose mini or the bose micro. I have to tell you that i am comparing apples to oranges here and i did this on purpose. I wanted to check how good/bad the speaker sounded when compared to bigger speakers. I am happy to say that i am pleasantly surprised to hear the music play on this one. it does really sounds larger than it looks. It is physically small in size which also means that the bass response will not be as good as a bigger speaker and that is expected. Should i buy it? -------------------- If you are on the go or you live in a dorm and need a small speaker and dont want headphones on all the time when you are listening to music or movies, this is a good buy. The Competion for this speaker would be the JBL Flip 2 or the UE wonderboom or roll 2. you are only a few dollars here and there, get the bose, you will be happy!!
