This little guy is amazing!!! It’s incredible how much sound the tiny speaker can produce. The sound quality clear and powerful. It’s the perfect combination of sound and size.
I love how small this speaker is. It’s a perfect size for travel, hikes, the office etc... The set up on this divice is simple and quick. Overall, I would recommend this speaker to anyone who is looking for mini speaker.

I am loving every minute of this Bose wireless speaker!! I can't believe it to so loud! My family thought I was using my big speaker I bought for my living room. The sound quality is amazing! So clear, crisp, and lots of bass! It sure keeps me moving while I'm cleaning and working out!

Small but great
on September 27, 2017
Posted by: Cbear137
I received this product as a tester and I am providing a review after using it for some times. First impression, it looks cute and nice, easy to hold and setup is easy. Install the Bose app and follow the instructions. I do like the sound quality, it has a good bass, midrange, however, lacking in its treble. It doesn't sound clear when certain music is played. I would recommend this anyone who wants a great portable Bluetooth speaker. The strap at the back is pretty handy. You can strap it to any poles or handles. It is pretty sturdy, doesn't fall off.

Best speaker for bicycling yet
on September 27, 2017
Posted by: AlexinChicago
I have owned bicycle speakers for more than 10 years, including one in which you inserted an iPod Nano to play tunes. (Cue Archie and Edith Bunker.) Since then, I have owned the Outdoor Technology Buckshot, Boombotix Rex, Boombotix Pro and Ultimate Ears (UE) Roll2. I typically bike 10 miles per day in urban traffic and have always upgraded speakers due to increased volume so that I can hear the music over traffic. Frequently, I have sacrificed sound quality for volume. My husband and I bought the UE Roll 2 due to: increased volume; weather-proofing; and the ability to pair two speakers so that he and I could listen to the same music when we ride together. The hub eventually ditched his UE Roll 2, because he could not skip songs in his playlist through the speaker. I ordered the Bose speaker, because I love my Bose Sound Sport headset, and the UE Roll 2 is like a salad plate in size.
Since purchasing The Bose SoundLink Micro, I have: biked listening to music; run listening to music; and walked the dogs listening to podcasts. Firstly, the texture of the sound is amazing. I am not an audiophile, but I could not believe the *beauty* of the music through this little speaker. Secondly, truly beats the UE Roll 2 in its portability and features (i.e., pause tracks, skip to the next track, restart the current track, pause/play and initiate Siri). Thirdly, it stays put. When I unpacked it, the clip kind of freaked me out. It just didn't seem *substantial*. However, I only had the clip come undone when it was on a belt, and I bent over at the waist. (A movement that a tension clip likely also would have been impacted by.) Finally, at the top end of the volume range, I can hear music when large trucks pass me on four-car-wide urban streets. Spoken words were a bit harder to hear, but honestly this speaker did the best of all that I have tried.
I give it five stars out of five assuming that the clip continues to serve me well.

Compact & great sound

I have had my Bose Soundlink Micro for just over a week , & love it .
It's compact & lighter than my other Bluetooth speakers , so I decided to take this one on holiday with us .
I was surprised at the quality of the sound from such a small speaker.
As it is light , & has the added strap ,you can attach it to the outside of your backpack & listen in comfort to your music on the move .
Price is on the high side , but overall another great product from Bose.

Good Sound Quality but very poor on Audio/V calls
on September 27, 2017

Gender:Male
After a week of usage writing this review.
Pros:
Appearance is good and smooth on design. Touch sensitivity especially the single touch power on/off button are nice.
A plethora serving of Bass for its size and very minimal distortion even at max volume.
Multi-device connectivity is also good.
Cons:
Not even a single time i was able to take audio calls ( connected with One plus 3). And the major problem ie when receive an video call (Tried both Google Duo & what’s app ) the call get disconnected automatically.
Most of the time the volume buttons doesn’t work ( connected and tried with both DELL Laptop and one plus 3)

Small Speaker, Loud sound
on September 26, 2017

I was very impressed with the bose soundlink micro. This small speaker produced amazing sound quality. The highs and lows were very clear and the bass was not to overwhelming. The speaker came in a small box that was not hard to open and all the required components such as the charging cable were under the speaker. I plugged the speaker up using the adapter from the bose soundlink revolve + and it charged within a few hours. After charging the speaker I played a few songs in my room and it produce enough sound to fill my large room with the volume slightly above the half way mark. I turned the speaker volume all the way up and it got incredibly loud without distorting. I was very impressed with how it did on the inside that I decided to take it outside to try it out. I played some music outside and the sound was loud enough for many people to hear and I found that wonderful. The product seems very durable. I had no issues with my revolve plus getting wet so I know that if this speaker gets extremely wet that it should be okay. Also since the speaker is surrounded in what looks like rubber material I feel that if it falls and hits the ground that it should survive also. The battery life on this speaker is also great. I got over 6 hours of usage with the volume above the halfway point on my Iphone. Connecting to this product is no issue. Once you turn it on all you got to do is go to your bluetooth settings and it will appear with no issues. The bose connect app makes it a lot easier to connect to the speaker and is great for when you have more then one bose speaker because you can connect both of the speakers together. I feel that this speaker is worth the money and anybody who buys it will certainly get what they pay for. I have owned multiple bose products and they continue to impress me with every product they release.

small speaker big voice

I was excited to get this product so I could start testing it out since I love to listen to music. However, when I first got it and opened the package I tried to plug in the charging cable and it would not go in. so I had to dig out one of my own chargers to get it started. So far not starting good Bose. I will say though with it being such a small speaker it does put out some good volume and clear to. It even has decent range on the Bluetooth I was able to walk about 30 feet away before it started to cut out. I also was surprised when I saw the strap on the back it makes for easy attachment to anything small enough that is so that it can stay up. The battery life could be a bit better if you took this camping and had no power it would not last the trip external power source would be needed. All in all, it is a good product and can’t wait to continue on using it.
