I have had this speaker for almost 2 months. It works great and very sturdy. I got knock off my bike and the speaker hit the ground. No scratches or dents and performs like nothing happen. I recommend it.
Received my sound link today, plug it in turned on IPad & hit Bluetooth button paired up in 3 seconds. Listening to my all time classics and the sound is exquisite. Have Bose home theater and Wave radio/ CD so I wasn’t surprised by the sound & quality, it’s expected. Don’t waste your cash on any outher, by the Bose Soundlink.
I purchased about 3 months ago. It's a compact powerhouse! Everyone who hears it is amazed by the sound quality & output. Works perfectly with my Cellphone, Laptop,Tablet & GPS. At only 3/4 volume, it's louder than my portable Stereo at full volume. Absolutely amazing!! I recommend this to everyone who needs BIG sound in a small package.
Love this device. Family really enjoys taking it everywhere. It sucks we can't connect it to out computers. Tried every angle to get it to connect. Oh well.
It'd be nice for movie nights on the laptop for the kids.
I have been immensely happy with the sound quality of this portable speaker and it really blows the competition out of the water. Having it be waterproof is essential for bike commuting and I love how it reads out my battery level when I turn it on. However, the rubber handlebar strap on this speaker is a terrible design and I would consider it a deal breaker for recommending the product. I have had this speaker eject from my handlebars at least 10 times and today it was nearly run over by a car as I desperately tried to retrieve my $100 speaker. The latching mechanism on the strap is unacceptable and doesn't handle variations in handlebar diameter very well. a light touch of the speaker to change volume or songs can easily trigger ejection. Bose desperately needs to manufacture a secure handlebar mount for this thing. I am now looking into finding a cell phone handlebar clamp that will pinch the speaker and hold it securely, wish I could buy a purpose built one from Bose that would fit it perfectly.

Bought this a month ago my phone calls don’t work very well and when the speaker talks I can’t hear a thing no matter what the volume is at

Hi Biggyrob,
Thank you for providing your review of the SoundLink Micro speaker. We are sorry to hear about the trouble you had with your speaker. We designed the speaker to be used for both out loud listening and hands-free communication.
Please try checking the phone signal. A poor or weak connection to the cell service could cause poor audio quality while on a call. Try the call again when the reception improves. You may also try resetting the speaker - instructions to do that are here: https://bose.life/2pzntLA

I had read the reviews on this prior to buying it. They were good which was not unusual. I already own something by Bose so I know how good they are. When I got this and set it up, I was absolutely blown away by the sound!! It’s phenomenal!! Great sound coming from such a small item. I have used it almost every single day since I got it and I highly recommend it. I love the portability of it as well.
