Bose - SoundLink Micro

The Bose SoundLink Micro is perfect for travel. It’s ultra-compact and delivers surprisingly good sound for its size.

Yes, it has a rugged silicone exterior and is IPX7 waterproof, so it’s built to last.

It offers about 6 hours of playtime, which is decent for its size.

Yes, you can pair it with another Bose SoundLink Micro for stereo sound.

The Bose SoundLink Micro is a great choice for something small but powerful. It’s waterproof with an IPX7 rating and has a decent sound for its compact size.

For its size, the sound is impressive. It has clear mids and good bass, though it’s not as booming as larger speakers. Still, it’s great for portability.

Yes! It comes with a built-in strap, so you can attach it to your backpack or bike easily.

It gives you up to 6 hours of battery life, so it’s perfect for a shorter hike or beach trip.

It’s fully waterproof, with an IPX7 rating, so it can be submerged in water for a short time without issues.

Tribit Stormbox Micro or Bose Soundlink Micro. I've both and would still give the Bose the edge on sound performance however the tribit comes with USB-C and is roughly half the price.

I always loved the sound of the Micro. Basically sounds just like a smaller Soundlink Mini II (albeit with not as deep bass given the size constraints)

I know this post is a little older, but I wanted to jump in with some recommendations for anyone still looking for the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers for the shower! For a solid option under $200, these are some top picks: 1. **JBL Flip 5** – This is always a popular choice with great sound, a tough waterproof design (IPX7), and long battery life. It’s generally around $100-$120, so it fits nicely within your budget. 2. **Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 3** – Super compact, delivers 360-degree sound, and is IP67 rated for both water and dust resistance. Expect to pay around $100. 3. **Anker Soundcore 3** – If you’re looking for something affordable, this is an excellent option with solid sound and IPX7 waterproofing. You can usually find it for about $40-$50. 4. **Bose SoundLink Micro** – A bit pricier at around, but Bose offers fantastic sound quality, and the IPX7 rating makes it perfect for wet environments like the shower. As for those Amazon speakers that look too good to be true, I've seen a few that are hit or miss. While some can work fine for the price, the sound and build quality often don’t match the more established brands. So if you want something that’ll last and sound good, I’d recommend sticking with a more trusted name like JBL, UE, or Bose. Oh, and I actually wrote a detailed blog post on the **best waterproof Bluetooth speakers** if you want more suggestions! Feel free to check it out for a full breakdown of options. \[[https://voyedy.com/best-waterproof-bluetooth-speakers/](https://voyedy.com/best-waterproof-bluetooth-speakers/)\] Hope this helps, even if it's a bit late, and happy listening!

Thanks for the reco! I actually have Bose SoundLink Micro already but it's for my toddler's sleep music. 4 yrs na din yun. Can guarantee its quality but I'm open to try another brand sana if may almost the same quality or above par.

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 is the answer. I know, because I bought every decently-reviewed micro BT speaker on Amazon last year, with JBL, Bose, Anker, and a few more, and then spent a couple weeks testing them. The Stormbox Micro 2 was the easily the best IMO. The Bose was my second favorite, but for the price of it I got two TSM 2s. And I did.

Not a bunch but a solid group. JBL Encore Essential - Use that for my office when I want loud so that I can focus work or karaoke with my daughter. JBL PartyBox 110 - That’s for the party and for get togethers. Hangout outside and use it. I do also bring the Encore around but the 110 is a better battery life. This doesn’t get used as much as I can’t blast it all the time and the encore and charge 5 are good enough for me on the daily. JBL Charge 5 - I use this the most in my bedroom hanging out using my iPad or laptop. Bring it everywhere when I want music for myself, podcast or movies on the iPad. Definitely my overall favorite. I use it also to fall asleep to listening to podcast or calm music. JBL Go 4- I bring this for trips to listen to podcast, music. It’s so light and easy to pack or pocket. TRIBIT Micro 2 - Also a travel speaker or just bring around my house with me ifI don’t feel like lugging the charge 5 around. My daughter uses it a lot more now because I use my Go 4 if I want to go around with something lighter. I do like the tribit sound better for sure but the Go 4 is so light and easy to bring around and the sound is decent to me. Bose Micro Soundlink - Strictly used as a bathroom speaker now but it so damn good I’ll take my ti,e while in there lol. Sounds amazing still but it uses micro usb so that’s annoying now. Obviously I’m a JBL fan but I’m open to looking at the W KING D20 for beach days because of the price and it uses usb c to charge.

Looking to get a portable speaker to use while driving my boat around. It’s a little 14ft Jon boat and I want to be able to hear at wide open throttle. I got the ALTEC Hydra boom (love there headphones) but it was no where near loud enough. Going back and forth between JBL and Bose. I have a Bose micro sound link and it was louder than the hydra. I’m open to any speaker tho. Looking for loud with the outboard motor running!!

u/Niikiitaay Curious if you managed to find one? My Bose Micro had this capability, recently got the Wonderboom 4 and Flex 2 and while I like the sound of both, having to physically turn on the speaker feels cumbersome.

I also have their micro speaker and it’s a beast

Thanks for the initial review! You seem to be pretty much the only person I can find who is reviewing this product early. I almost bought two of the flex’s for stereo mode but then saw this was dropping and decided it’s maybe best to wait for this. I don’t mind the price as I’ve had a Bose Micro for 3+ years and use it almost everyday. I’m expecting this to be a significant upgrade lmao… Please keep posting your thoughts / feelings / review findings regarding this speaker I’m extremely curious and will be following your content! Thanks.

I’d highly recommend the Bose because I have a Bose product I have two Bose products which I really love and it sounds beautiful to me it sounds beautiful I’d suggest the Bose micro the Bose mini or the Bose revolve or the Bose portable smart speaker or even the new Bose sound blink max Because I feel like they’re meant to be the best and also I would go with ultimate ears UE Because I have had a role for about seven years now and it was good it was awesome one of the best things I’ve ever had

The bose isnt bad at all. There plenty out there that actually sound bad. Also its the only thing i've no latency issues or connection issues. Every jbl i've had has had Bluetooth issues, latency, and broken on me. With bose i've never had a single peice of equipment fail on me since my first acoustimass back in the day

I agree as well. I dont experience any distortion at max volumes. Can vary on audio sample quality as well.

I find the Bose to be most pleasing of anything available in the market and did not hear any distortion when testing it thoroughly - waiting for some discount on this side of the world before I buy it !

I have been finding this to be troublesome while hunting for a new speaker I have an oootz speaker that’s cheap and does the job as well as a old Bose one but most speakers being sold don’t have aux ):

I love JBL, but BOSE sounds cleaner and better by a fairly large margin.

Bose SoundLink. I have a iPhone 11. Smooth Wi-Fi connect. Great for room and shower use on the daily. Ambient sound in like a group setting.

I have to say that, for as much as I love the Bose speakers I own, battery drain is far more noticeable than with other brands I own. My Bang & Olufsen speakers have the absolute least battery drain while idle; JBL is great for power retention, too.

Idk if this is really the place for this question but I sorta like the JBL Bluetooth speakers. But I have a Bose portable one (surprisingly) that I really like too.

I compared Bose SoundLink, Jbl charge 5, Jbl flip 6, Soundcore Motion X600, Klipsch Nashville and HK luna. I chose Luna from all. The best balanced sound for this price range. I found JBL highs to harsh, bose pretty good but not so open , Klipsch missing any lows, and Soundcore...I liked it but when I listened side by side with Luna...well..I ended up with Luna :)

I've found that bang for buck if you don't need portability comes from soundbars with bluetooth subwoofers. You don't get portability, but they connect pretty easily and they're getting pretty cheap. You'll need to plug in to an outlet for the main unit and another outlet to power the sub. If you need portability, I've found the Bose soundlink sounds great at low volumes. I like the jbl xtreme 3 for big volume and outdoor activities, but it's not great at low volumes. Waterproof speakers lose some clarity at low volumes.

Bose soundlink is a good option. A little out of your price range, but worth checking out IMO.

Yeah, I have the old soundlink and I have no issues with it. I can only imagine the new version is the same if not better.

I have them. They’re cool to show off to your friends right up until the moment that you turn them on. They have zero depth, zero bass, and really aren’t that loud. My Bose SoundLink sounds 1000x better and is much louder. You’ll get better sound from just turning on your stereo and rolling down the windows. I was highly disappointed. I don’t have any connectivity issues like a lot of people. As soon as I drop the gate, it turns on and immediately starts playing music from my phone. I really wouldn’t spend the money unless you hear one in person and decide it’s worth it. Because it’s not.

Using an old Bose sound link Bluetooth speaker when I need more sound that the mini provides.

I’ve got a Bose Soundlink, worth every penny.

Flip 6 and Bose SoundLink are both excellent options, but for me personally, after owning both, I’ll go for the Bose. Deeper bass and clarity.

Bose Soundlink. I am notoriously bad about not taking care of things and them falling apart or breaking. These things are indestructible, provide bose sound and all three of mine link together despite the fact that my oldest one is 13 years old. I love them.
