Bought two of these for excellent stereo sound while traveling. They do, indeed, provide that. But figuring out how to get them up and running in stereo mode was very confusing and frustrating, as the documentation is very poor. Web-based instructions seem to conflict with the Bose Connect app, the app relies on cute graphics which are not clear, and the process is not intuitive. But now that I know the process it delivers amazing sound for their size and cost.
I bought this a couple of weeks ago and it perfect for what I bought it for! Whether I'm at the pool or at the office it is perfect! Great sound, great battery life, and Quick charging. This little speaker packs a punch. Don't be fooled by its size. Great buy. I'm going to order my wife one. She won't leave mine alone!
When I first bought the micro sound link a few years ago, I was blown away by the sound quality from this palm sized speaker. From all the alternate options out there at that price point, this speaker stood tall (for being tiny one) in every aspect. Love the design, the look and feel of it and how it can just about fit anywhere. The sound , is crisp and vocals stand out beautifully. If you are into genres of instrumental music , acoustic folksy , jazz , the music coming out of this speaker sounds beautiful. If you're into a little punchy music which is heavy bass driven, then this is not the speaker for you. You're not going to get that deep bass sound if you are looking for one. But the bass sound is just about right on this speaker to make the music enjoyable at any given volume without the music and sound turning into noise.
Now here's the best part - I got a second micro sound link speaker a few weeks ago just so that I could enjoy the stereo pairing function of these speakers. When connected on stereo mode, the music coming out of these speakers breathe a new life and sound so so good. I mounted each of these speakers on my lamp shades (the mounting strap on the speaker is just brilliant) on the left and right corners of my room and paired them as a stereo pair. Now standing at almost 6 feet elevated height , the stereo pairing sound now fills up my living room with beautiful sounding melodies.
I highly recommend getting two of these and stereo pairing them for a much wider and warm sound full filling experience.
I purchased this speaker for my wife's birthday last week. We were listening to it in the courtyard of our building with neighbors. My wife turned her speaker on when a neighbor's died. Right away, everyone was saying how much better this speaker sounded. I already knew how good this speaker sounded, this is the the 3rd one I've purchased. The 1st two were refurbished. This color was not available in a refurbished model, at the time.
