Nice

This speaker was definitely built well, but that is no surprise as Bose has always made their products well. I was worried that the sound would be dulled out since the speaker was so small, but I was pleasantly surprised once I started playing my music. The sound is excellent and much better than sound on many big speakers I have tried. My only issues with this speaker is that it did take some time for it to power on and also to connect to my iPhone, but after I got over those small hurdles it has been nothing short of an excellent experience. It is portable, water proof and really has a great sound. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new reliable speaker.

One big problem: No "aux" input connection.

The Bose SoundLink Micro speaker is indeed quite good -- it sounds good, and it has all of the connection features available in the Bose Connect app. However, my most specific purpose for a small speaker such as this is as a "travel speaker" to connect with my notebook computer, and my connection of choice has always been with an "aux" cable -- not Bluetooth. And I utterly did not comprehend that the speaker didn't have such a connection capability when I purchased it. Now, I comprehend why the official name includes "Bluetooth" in it -- since that's its only connection.
I tend to watch videos on my notebook computer when I need sound, and indeed, Bluetooth isn't the most optimal connection for video -- it's quite typical to lose synchronization between the video and the sound over the wireless Bluetooth connection. But that never occurs with a wired "aux" connection.
So, unfortunately, this was a deal-breaker for me, so I returned the speaker to the store. It's my fault for not comprehending the lack of the "aux" connection when I made the purchase. I presume that Bose made the decision to exclude an "aux" connection in order to get a more waterproof speaker, which I find very unfortunate -- I'm truly not intending to submerge any electronic devices I own in water, or any other liquid.
In the end, I would say that the Bose SoundLink Micro speaker sounds a bit better than any other similarly-sized speaker, but it's also two or three times heavier than similarly-sized speakers that I own. And while it does sound better than the other speakers I own, I wouldn't say that it sounds "two or three times" better, so I will make do with a lighter speaker that sacrifices a bit of sound quality, in order to cut a bit of weight in my notebook bag, and use a wired "aux" connection to listen to my videos.

Our New Favorite!

We own many Bose products in our home including headphones, home theatre and WiFi speakers. All of them are great, but this little Bose Micro is our favorite Bose release in years! Seriously, you MUST take one home with you. It just excels at everything it is made to do.
SOUND - Every frequency is well represented. I can hear every detail of every song. It is uncanny for a speaker of this size. The bass also gives a nice punch that sounds very pleasing. We own another similarly sized speaker from another brand that we thought sounded good for its small form factor. This little Bose leaves the other brand in the dust. The sound is just so rich and warm that it exudes quality. The only negative to the sound is that the signature changes when the speaker is played at or above about 95% volume. Most noticeably the bass decreases. Even so, it still sounds much better than our other speaker with a clip.
RUGGEDNESS - This Micro is rugged! The only thing that you need to know is that my two boys were so intrigued that the Micro is shock resistant and water proof that they took turns dropping the speaker on the floor. Normally I would be horrified, but the speaker seems to be made for this kind of abuse. My boys also took turns running water on the speaker under the faucet at the kitchen sink. They were intrigued with how water splashes out of the Micro as the bass kicked in on the song they were playing. Needless to say, the speaker is going to hold-up just fine in everyday use.
PORTABILITY - The size is small enough to wear and the speaker feels great in the hand. The silicon strap allows you to secure it just about anywhere. Also, the speaker is shaped such that you actually can just set it just about anywhere. While our Bose Revolve needs a flat surface to stay upright, the Micro has a very low center of gravity. It stays where you put it despite an uneven surface or incline. Awesome!
The only problem with the Bose Micro is that now everyone in our house wants one. This unit is going to my older son to use as he juggles school, sports practices and church youth activities. For everyone else, I imagine that the Bose Micro will be tops on their Christmas list. I know it will be on mine :)

I just received this speaker today and I must say I'm impressed by Bose. This is one surprising speaker since its small but carries a big punch especially with the sound. Once I used the Bluetooth I fell inlove this speaker is amazing the sound is great and for being little with a loud sound and bass and treble is freaking amazing. The price is great and the product is great you cannot go wrong with this speaker at all. I would definitely recommend this speaker and especially if you like hiking this speaker is a must. This would have the bears dancing as soon as I blast the volume when I'm hiking in new york upstate lols. Applause to you BOSE for this speaker thank you for selling it at a great price and making it one of the best speakers I have used so far.
