I bought the soundlink micro about 3 months ago, it was great. One day I tried to turn it on in my car on my way home and it didn’t respond. I charged it still no response... I had loved Bose products but this one seems to be cheap

I got to know of this product through Bose ambassador Niall Horan but I fell in love with everything that it claimed to be. Despite the high price tag, I decided to take a leap of faith and bought one and after months of using it, here's my review.
First off: Appearance. I had an estimation of the size of it thanks to Niall's posts, but I was surprised at the weight it has. To me, this is a good thing because it feels sturdy but it may be a turn off to others. But overall, I find its design to be rather cute and user-friendly.
In terms of sound, it does have a rich bass and clear, crisp sound. However, it does tend to sound a little muffled. Also, I find that adjusting its volume via your device (phone, tablet, etc) rather than using the buttons on the speaker is more effective. When answering calls, I could hear the caller crystal clear and they had no problems hearing me.
As for the strap... I expected more from it as it's not as versatile as I thought it would be. But seeing as I usually just lay it down on flat surfaces, it isn't much of a concern for me. The silicone feels durable, though... and the clasp really secure.
Battery life is average; up to 6 hours of continuous usage. It isn't much different from other Bluetooth speakers. But I do like the battery indicators and that the speaker "announces" how much percentage is left.
Finally, in regards to how waterproof and shockproof it is? It passed everything. I initially did not want to test its claims because why risk it? But the other day I left my speaker in my backpack and it got thrown into the washing machine; meaning it got washed along together with my laundry. But imagine my surprise when I discovered that it really did lived up to its claims! My speaker is still working fine and there isn't much damage in terms of appearance other than a few small dents from being trashed around in the washing machine.
Overall? I am happy with this product seeing as it's my first Bose product and that I got it on a whim just because my favourite artist uses it as well. Thank you Bose for this speaker and thank you Niall for introducing it to me!
This is a great speaker; I received it as a gift! It packs a lot of sound for its tiny size and is extremely convenient to carry around, especially with its size.
I bought this speaker off eBay 2 days ago and after reading a bunch of positive reviews I decided to buy it AND FREAKING LOVE IT the bass is awesome super loud for such a tiny device!! Bose always impresses. This is my second speaker from y’all. Never turning to any other speakers. Love you Bose
It's the best speaker what i saw in this size. Sound is great!!! Works up to 12 hours (more longer than you said) Fast connect to iphone by pushing the power button. It's cool Light and always with me
