There are Bluetooth speakers that are affordable, but don't sound great. Then there are those that sound good, but you are scared to take them outdoors. And then there is the SoundLink Micro, which Bose claims is tough enough to survive anything thrown at it, and at the same time sound great too.

Bose SoundLink Micro is a compact and lightweight portable speaker with the power to deliver sound, perfect for outdoor adventures and occasions. Its rugged and waterproof design makes it a bliss to carry without having to worry if it ever drops to a swimming pool during a party, or when the storm...

Bluetooth-enabled speakers are common nowadays, especially portable ones that you can easily carry with you. However, not all of them can deliver big sound with good quality in a small package. As for those that can, the Bose SoundLink Micro is one of them.

* Portable; * Good build quality; * Great sound for its size; * IPX7 water-resistant body

The Bose SoundLink Micro isn't exactly the cheapest Bluetooth speaker, but its portability, good sound, and durability almost justify the price tag.

Extremely portable; Rubber finish provides a durable build; IPX7 water resistant; Big bass output

No fast charging; Weak battery life; Price for what you get

I bought this for my granddaughters Christmas present after reading other reviews and actually going to John Lewis to have more information and listening to the quality of sound which this small piece of equipment delivers plus it is waterproof so it can be used in the bathroom.

Tossing up between this Bose and its Sony competitors I stuck with the brand I know and have enjoyed and I'm not disappointed. A really compact unit with a handy rubber strap to mount onto a bag, this speaker is impressively loud and bassy for its size.

It was easy to setup and works great. No complaints other than the supplied charging cable does not plug into the speaker. However, the charging cable we had from another Bose speaker did.

I use the Bose speaker in my truck because my radio doesn't work at times. Using the Bose speaker allows me to listen to what I want to and when I want to listen. The sound fills the truck cabin easily and it is clear. I feel like a "Sweepstakes" winner with us speaker.

Smooth speaker that can withstand tough. But the sound I was a bit disappointed with, actually ... it sounds quite odd considering the size, but not that wow sound like bose is known to be able to troll out of small speakers. It was a return for my part.

Gone are the days when the bulky and high power-devouring speakers used to be installed for amplifying sound. These days, speakers are available in small form factor, which intensifies the sound level to a great extent without major compromises on the sound quality.
