A tiny Bluetooth speaker you can literally carry in your pocket sounds like a great concept, but going small -- and I mean really small -- usually means sacrificing sound quality, or more specifically bass performance.

The Bose SoundLink Micro is a pocket-sized Bluetooth speaker that is able to play louder and produce richer and louder sound than competing micro wireless speakers; It's fully waterproof, has a built-in microphone for speakerphone calls, plus an integrated strap for clipping the speaker onto a bag...

A little pricey and battery life is only average

The well-built and travel-friendly Bose SoundLink Micro is arguably the best sounding speaker in its tiny size class.

A tiny Bluetooth speaker you can literally carry in your pocket sounds like a great concept, but going small -- and I mean really small -- usually means sacrificing sound quality, or more specifically bass performance. Bose's SoundLink Micro, the company's smallest and least expensive Bluetooth model yet, at $100, £100 or AU$150, aims to defy those small speaker conventions. It mostly pulls it off.

Very easy to use and bring along to the beach, but you have to compromise on sound.

Sturdy with a handy rubber strap. Microphone and voice assistants. Party mode and stereo pair.

No aux input, only wireless. Mediocre sound quality. Short battery life.

This Bose Soundlink Micro Bluetooth Speaker is a great addition to any Bose family. This is our third Bose product and it does not disappoint. The sound quality is fantastic and the portability is a real plus.

Great sound quality; portability; ease of connecting to devices

Soundlink does not stand up on its end without a stand up case; It only hangs or lays flat on the back side of the speaker; This is easily remedied with a stand up case which also works to help protect the speaker

The Bose Soundlink Micro is a pricey, but competent and compact Bluetooth speaker that performs well at all but the loudest volumes.

Rugged and well weatherized; Produces surprisingly pleasant audio with good separation; given its small dimensions; Can be paired with a second...

Monophonic sound; unless paired with a second speaker; Noticeable low-frequency distortion at higher volume levels; No auxiliary audio input or output

The Bose SoundLink Micro is certainly one of the better-sounding speakers we've tested in its size category. At $110, though, it definitely faces stiff competition. The hardest thing for us to reconcile is that the SoundLink Micro is basically twice as expensive as the JBL Clip 2, but offers similar...

Strong audio performance, with rich lows and well-defined highs; Waterproof; Good speakerphone mic

A little overpriced; No aux input

Have two other Bose speakers that I love. I like this one too except that it came with a small piece of plastic wedged just inside under the front speaker grill, that I cannot get out. I was going to let it go except when the speaker is laid flat the piece vibrates and affects playback quality.

Rugged portable Bluetooth speakers are currently all the rage in the world of audio, with every man and his dog is trying to get into market. That's why it's no surprise Bose has decided to do the same with its SoundLink Micro.

Compact design; Close to indestructable; Good sound for the price

Doesn't do 360 sound; Not quite as load or clear as the Wonderboom

The speakers inside smartphones improve with every new generation of handset. But they all sound like garbage when it comes to playing music without the benefit of headphones. That's where the Bose Soundlink Micro comes in.
