BoseSoundLink Micro: Small Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Waterproof), Midnight Blue

Muy oportuno

Great compact speaker. Wonderful sound.

Boyfriend loved it

This speaker has been great. Getting a Bose product for the price point was nice. The speaker has nice range on an unobstructed line of sight, and works well around corners if you have your phone in your pocket. The time to full charge is reasonable, but the battery life really stands out. I primarily use it for golf and it's lasted 4 rounds in a weekend. You can even link multiple units. The size makes it very portable and the strap is great for attaching to the golf cart. You won't be disappointed in the sound.

I am so excited about this portable, Bluetooth speaker that I'm writing this review less than 24 hours after receiving it. This device also seems to support hands free calling per the instructions, but I haven't tried that yet. As soon as I have time I'll post a video proving what I'm saying here, but for now I am just blown away with the sound quality and volume I can get from this compared to MANY other portable Bluetooth speakers I've tried. I bought 2 off Amazon and returned them (I left the worst review I've ever written for one and just couldn't be bothered with the other). It takes a lot to get me into an actual store, but I even went to Best Buy and a very sharp sales guy pointed me to the 3 best options they have. After listening to them I was underwhelmed and disappointed.I almost gave up on finding a small, portable speaker that was significantly better than my iPhone speakers so I can listen to audiobooks/music off my phone while driving. My 2005 SUV is in amazingly great shape, but it doesn't have Bluetooth or hands free calling built in. I struggle to hear my iPhone speakers over road noise and I don't like wearing earphones every time I get in the car, which is why I was looking at portable Bluetooth speakers. Plus I can use the speaker around the house for my iPhone, tablet, etc.This thing quite literally rocks! It gets so loud that I didn't even get to the max volume before it actually hurt my ears, and that was with the speaker on the other side of the living room. No other portable Bluetooth speaker I tried even came close to this! And even at a very loud volume the sound quality is shockingly good, especially considering this is such a small device. I am just thrilled with this purchase. I can hold it in the palm of my hand and there's a rubber strap to "mount" it on an umbrella pole or other small diameter item. I wouldn't trust the strap to hold tight on a bike or other moving object, as the Bose documentation suggests, but it's a nice little feature.The only two "cons" are price and setup, but these are minor in context. Most competing products I found range from $30-$60, but everything I found in this range is about on par in terms of sound quality/volume...they suck. So the $109 price point for this Bose speaker is high in comparison, but well worth it when you consider the vastly better sound. FWIW, some of the speakers I tried at Best Buy were also around $100 and they were terrible.As to the setup, Bose instructs you to start by downloading a mobile app, but to be honest, I haven't yet figured out why you even need that app since it's so straight forward to connect a phone/tablet/etc. to a Bluetooth speaker. I feel like the Bose app complicates that process for no good reason, but there may be something super cool you can do via the app that I just haven't found yet. I'm going to play with it over the weekend and will update this review if I find something. Either way, this more odd than a big deal so I wouldn't take away a star for it.I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a portable Bluetooth speaker with outstanding sound quality and volume. Many others claim you can use their speaker to add music to an impromptu get together, but this is the first I've seen that stands up to that claim!

It is a small speaker so you can’t expect a stereo rich kind of sound but it is far better than listening on the smartphone speakers.Good shape, so easy to pack, nice strap for the cable and gorgeous orange color.

Full transparency - I'm a huge Bose fan. It wasn't until later in life that I was able to afford their products, but now given the choice I prefer to go with Bose. This little speaker is just the latest in my history of Bose products.I had an older Bose Sound Link Mini that worked well but was starting to show its age. It was also a bit clunky and very, very delicate. I was perusing Amazon and came across this little gem and bought one for my wife. She was so impressed with hers that I bought one for me.What I like - well, obviously, it's Bose. The sound is crisp and rich in replicating lows and highs and is characteristic Bose. Obviously bass is somewhat less than other speakers, but for this size speaker the sound is incredible and I'm not a huge fan of "thumpy" bass anyway. I also like the portability. I used the strap to attach the speaker to my belt while doing my evening walk at work and loved that I was able to listen to my MP3 player without having to worry about headphones and potentially getting hit by some of the maintenance vehicles in the factory. I like the Bose app that indicates remaining battery life and bluetooth connections. I'm sure I'm only scratching the surface with the available features, but for what I use it for I'm extremely pleased.As awesome as this little gem is, not all is perfect. There are some issues with the speaker wanting to connect to everything in sight. I love that you can connect to two gadgets simultaneously, but sometimes I don't want that feature and only want one. It takes a little doing but it can connect to just the one, but it's not intuitive. Not a deal breaker. Also there is no feature to plug in an analog MP3 player or device, but since I'm using the bluetooth capability as my excuse to the Mrs. for upgrading my portable capability that really is a non-issue.I've only had the speaker a very short time, but already love it. At some point I would like to test the stereo feature when you connect two speakers to one device, but at the moment my wife and I love having our own discrete speakers. Battery life is rated at 6 hours, but anecdotally it seems to last longer than that. I also don't blast my music at loud volume, so I'm not certain if there's a correlation there. I may have to update my review at a later date after I collect more data and get more enjoyment from the speaker.In summary, the buyer should know that this is what it is...a small, portable and extremely capable Bose speaker. If you're looking for incredibly high highs and rap lows, this may not fill your bill. But if you like your music on the go and with pleasant sound, this is your recommended default.

Very happy Iove mine. Glad I have it.
