I recently obtained the Bose Micro Bluetooth Speaker. I've had a few weeks to spend with the speaker and I must say it is a must have speaker for those on the go or who need quality in a small form factor. Upon receiving the speaker I immediately charged it up and I began to sample a few genres of music. Amazingly this tiny speaker has a pretty good bais response. I played everything from R&B, Hip-Hop, Jazz, Classical, Soft Rock, Reggae, House and Electronica. It definately shines better in some areas vs others but if you play with the EQ on you connected devices, you should be able to obtain the desired sound. I've used the speaker with my phone, laptop, and Apple TV. It also sounded good for TV as well. To test out some of the water resistance, I set the speaker up while in the shower and the moisture didn't harm it at all. I haven't gotten the chance to completely submerge the speaker. I've also used the speaker while out in the backyard relaxing and the sound was just right even though the space was much more open vs being inside the house in a room. Last but not least, I was lucky enough to obtain two of these micro speakers and via the Bose Connect app, I was able to connect the two speaker via Bluetooth simultaneously or as a stereo set up. It was twice the fun with both speakers and the connecting was seamless. My only gripe about the speaker is that although the speaker is pretty rugged, Bose didn't include a carry case for travel.
I received this speaker about two weeks ago. I have several Bose products, headphones, bluetooth speakers, etc, so this was a nice compliment to my collection. What I like the most about this is that is small, can take a beating and is easy to carry. the rubber strap fits right onto my backpack and allows me to taken music along with me easily. I found the bass amazing and the overall sound from the speaker to be robust. I have used the speaker phone feature several times. The sound quality on a call is amazing and both ends of the conversation are clear and rich. I have taken this speaker golfing, have used it out in the back yard where I am building a new shed and have taken it back and forth to work. I would definitely recommend this to others.
I picked this up the day before I was leaving on a 3-month study abroad. I have used this every day since I got to Italy. I almost want to purchase a second one, but can not see why I would need 2, but it would be fun to have.
I am pretty sure Bose will make it a little smaller next edition, but I am happy with this size.
The rubber around the front of the speaker feels great but does feel like it can be pulled off. Really wish they would have added an aux cable, but since more phones are no longer including the earphone jack it makes sense. It is pretty loud too. The clip on the back does seem like
This is an awesome product. Does what it needs to and does it well. If you love the Bose sounds you will love this little speaker.
Sound is excellent for such a small speaker. I am always worried about set-up of these types of products as I have had issues in the past, but it was flawlessly simply. After set-up I immediately found a song with a large range of tones and a lot of bass to see how it would preform. I was thrilled. I have taken this speaker everywhere and can't get enough, from the pool (where I showed up much larger speakers), to my car (sadly it is better than my car stereo), to my house. My only concern so far is I wonder about the durability of the strap. No problems yet, but I have a 3 year old that loves to take it on and off of things. I'm concerned it may be a problem after long term use.
I love speakers, they are a wonder addiction for me, I have several Bose bluetooth speakers, all have eventually impressed me even if not initially. The Bose Soundlink Revolve+ really shines from a musical perspective. So I purchased 2 of the Bose Soundlink Micro speakers yesterday (one Blue and One Orange) I have several different size bluetooth speakers but none that are similar in size and form factor to the Soundlink Micro. Of course the sound isn't as big as a larger speaker, but these little speakers are hefty and seem well built, like many Bose speakers of late they are well tuned and sound really good. when 2 are used as a stereo pair the sound is very clear (especially at mid to mid-high volume levels). Like many small speakers if you push them too loud they compensate by reducing bass, but these rarely distort. I was impressed today when I attached my 2 Soundlink Micro's to my bike and headed out for a ride, Even outside there was a pleasant fullness to the sound, using them is fun, they are very durable so I don't fear using them in wet places and they are small which makes them "real world" portable.
I am a BOSE consumer and would add this device to the collection for use in a small room (car / space) or just need to Lighten the load on any journey. This tiny speaker is packed with a lot of volume. Because I have high expectations for BOSE products, I give it 5 stars. IN honesty of the product, the less of base when the volume gets pumped up high, was a surprise, but if used for it's intent- intimate settings and the need for light weight portability it does meet expectations of Bose quality.
I just bought this speaker and I didn't compare shop. I just went for it and I'm so glad I did. It's awesome for the size and the sound is great. You and your friends will be impressed. I got mine in orange cuz I don't like to follow the all-black-everything crowd.
I really love this speaker because it's very easy to carry around and it's silicone makes it easy to grip. I'm usually pretty precautious about protecting my gadgets from getting near water but I'm able to rest easier knowing it is waterproof. It stays charged for hours alone and I can listen to my music without any interruptions. Another feature that I love about it is I can connect my Siri to it to control different songs.
