Having been on the market for a small Bluetooth speaker I have dabbled in many many iterations trying to save money but at the end of the day if you need a small portable speakers that has an excellent design and great sound the SoundLink Micro is what you want to get. Retailed at $100 the JBL Flip 5 with the same price is louder with more bass; however, the Flip 5 is not nearly as portable as the Bose. With IPX7 rating the Bose can withstand splashes of water and in my test the Soundlink Micro performed admirably in a steaming hot shower. The soft and finger print smudge proof surface feels good in my hand and the construction is solid and the rubber band beneath the speaker allow you to attach it anywhere you like. The micro actually sounds just as good as the SoundLink mini and even better than the Revolve. The Bose passed the soundest with all kinds of music except the lowest of lows in hip pop tracks. What you get with this is an overall balanced sound that is satisfying and for a speaker this size the bass output is excellent. The 6 hour battery life which most people scuff at is for max volume only. If you play the speaker around 50% to 60% volume you will get over 10 hours of playtime which is in line with speakers this size. A hundred bucks is a lot for a small BT speaker but if you think the JBL clip or the UE boom or even the Tribute MaxSound is a better value, take a closer listen and you will declare the Bose a winner each and every time. The good news is that you can get a brand new micro for $70 to $80 on eBay. If you need a moderately loud speaker with clear highs and robust mid range with good bass you will be very happy with it as a personal speaker to carry around with you!Read full review

I bought two and couldn’t be happier. So far so good. I manage a massage spa where we need to have music in all the rooms that our therapists can connect the music on their phones to. Away with Complicated sound bars! Thiis speaker costs just a tad more than the ones we were using, has way better sound quality, and is super easy to connect to.

This is an amazing little speaker. It wants to drive you to I-tunes, but you can get around it. It's a snap with the I-phone. I'm technology challenged, so I always have my assistant set this kind of stuff up for me. She'll probably talk me into buying her one. lol She's my saving grace with all this new stuff you young whipper snappers find so easy. Anyway, treat yourself to one, they're a great sound and value for the money. I'm 77, so I get away poking at you youngsters. :-) -Keith

Clarity is excellent, actually has some bass fill as well. battery life is excellent, at medium volume i haven’t yet ran I continuously without charging so I can’t say how long exactly but I have used it for over 3 hours constantly once and from a full charge, roughly 40% still remained , I charge it whenever i get the chance to keep full and ready. I’ll update if and when I am able to run it from full to empty. I can definitely say that I am thoroughly pleased with the battery life this far. Connecting is easy, I haven’t had any issues connecting to any of our phones, laptops etc as of yet. We really enjoy the sound quality, it actually was a pleasant surprise. I know it’s a Bose but I still had reasonable expectations as the speaker is so small. It was mainly to have a compact option when we needed or wanted louder than stock speaker sounds. This speaker is way more than just that! It’s actually a lot clearer and can play at near the loudness vs a lot bigger and more pricey Jongo that we have which before we got this was our best wireless speaker. It was just too big for a lot of situations tho which is why we got this and this one immediately became our favorite! Actually this is a second one ordered because we like it so much! That way we don’t have to fight over who gets the Bose. There are more inexpensive options in similar size with good reviews but haven’t really tried others and probably never will as long as these are still kicking. Bought the 4 year warranty so don’t have to worry about anything for 4 years. Overall as of now, easy 5 stars. Granted we only used it for a few weeks. If any negatives arise I will update this review. Great sound , volume and bass surpasses expectations for this size! Battery life excellent thus far. Talks to you and has led lights to show battery life. Compact and easy to transport and use. Impressive and lives up to the Bose name. Excited to have another on the way. Cool color options to boot! Wonder if two can be used at the same time?? That be even double the ear candy! I’ll have to look into that. Ok where is it, time to listen to so relaxing music.Read full review

The Bose Soundlink Micro is all about being the best "out-going speaker". It's sound is solid with great base. It's very compact for the sound delivered. It is nice and waterproof. Yes, the Minirig Mini sounds better and has insane battery life, but it is twice as big, costs twice as much, and you wont be carrying it along on your rainy backpacking trip. Yes, the JBL Flip 4 sounds better, but try to strap it to your belt or backpack strap, or handlebars. It's many times larger. My point is the Bose Micro is intended for a specific niche, and fills it well. Some reviewers forget that. If you need a small, waterproof, durable bluetooth speaker with great sound then the Bose Soundlink Micro is what you are looking for,.
