Bose SoundLink Micro Portable Speaker (2nd Gen)

I replaced my old Bose Soundlink speaker. The new Micro Portable Speaker more efficiently connects to my iPhone and iPad for updated excellent and crisp sound! No regrets!

These are excellent little speakers. Bought one for my son too and he sent me a note today saying how much he loves the Bose speaker. He mentioned how surprised he was with the clarity and volume with which it plays.

I bought this 3 weeks ago, I really love it. It’s compact and easy to carry, the color is adorable, and most importantly, the sound quality is excellent and so rich. I’ve always liked BOSE. I bought the first-generation model for my son quite a while before, and this time I bought the second-generation one (pink) for myself. Both are excellent. I’m a loyal fan of BOSE. This Christmas, I actually bought two, one for myself and one as a Christmas gift for my father. I’m sure he’ll love it!

We have had 2 Bose Micro for years( probably since they first came out). They have amazing sound quality and can take many drops…almost indestructible. I’ve order this new one because my sons went missing. I ordered the new color but very disappointed that the orange is no longer available. At least this one has an orange strap. I’m sure this speaker will be as amazing as our first ones. This is Christmas gift so haven’t tried it yet but we never had any issues with Bose anything. Bring back the orange!

I bought it last two months ago and it’s the best mini speaker i ever bought

Really nice speaker. I had the last generation and left it on a golf cart :(. The conversion to USB-C is a welcome improvement. I think I like the new strap better but the jury is still out on that

Nice & compact but very full sounding speaker. Easy to setup.

I first bought a Sonos Roam for a portable speaker, it had great sound but the battery life was a disappointment. The Bose Soundlink Micro 2 has great sound and phenomenal battery life. When you consider the Sonos speaker cost almost twice as much as the Bose did, this is a no-brainer. The only negative I can mention is the Bose Micro weighs more, but I think that comes with the exceptional battery life.

The Mini BT Speaker has a powerful punch! It's compact but you wouldn't know it if you weren't looking at it. Great for college, if you're on the move, or small room.

Fantastic speaker, added to my other various Bose speakers collection. I'm sure this will be well used.

I really love my new Bose Speaker. It has such good sound.

I actually have two of the Gen 1 Micro Soundlink speakers, so when they asked if I wanted to try the new one, of course I said yes! The first thing I noticed is that it is slightly larger. The strap is completely different, instead then the tight silicone strap that just unsnaps and snaps (with effort) once wrapped around anything, it is now a webbed strap that feeds through and loops back around, securing with velcro. While this does give more options of things you can secure it to, it is harder to get a snug fit, and the silicone strips on the back of the strap are ineffective in keeping it from sliding out of position, and rethreading the strap into the slot is challenging if you have stiff fingers. The old silicone strap had more give after repeated uses, which ultimately makes it pop open too easily if not strapped to something. I had found the perfect spot to strap the old one to and the new strap does not hold it as securely and often migrates / pivots instead of staying put like the old strap did. The button configuration has also changed, and I have mixed feelings, as they have inverted the power and Bluetooth buttons, and I had gotten used to the old placement. The buttons on top are completely different, and are labeled clearly, which might be the best change the buttons have, as it is more functional. There are now two small lights to indicate power and connection, with both staying on while in use. The power pulses during charging and stops and stays on when fully charged, vs the four lights that indicate power on the first version, which do not stay lit when in use. I use this speaker mostly at night, so I preferred the single light during use which was easier to block, and the placement of the second light, which is also the bluetooth indicator, is on the top, and not easy to block at night. The power announcement is brief on the new one, which I appreciate because, having it talk so long when turning on at bedtime was disruptive, so this is better, and not quite as loud. The battery itself has a longer life and holds charge better and longer, which is the best improvement by far. I no longer have to charge daily, and it uses 10% per night on average (to keep it playing all night long) so I can go several days between charging which is fantastic. I also like that it is now a USB-C input instead of the micro USB for charging. Overall, the new generation is an improvement and I really like the new version. I miss the old strap, for my purposes, but on the whole, the new version is pretty great.

I’ve had the first generation Micro since 2018. It’s been my go-to speaker for travel and its ruggedness has held up well, except for the strap breaking after 2 years of use. I had high expectations for this new generation, and after comparing the two, it has some pretty significant upgrades: 1. I really like the new strap. It’s easy to attach, holds well, and feels durable. 2. The new generation gets surprisingly loud. While the previous generation had a warm sound, this one is noticeably brighter and treble-forward. I wouldn’t be surprised if they used the same driver as the new SoundLink Plus. That being said, it sounds fantastic and clear. 3. It stands up by itself! I was surprised to see that the speaker can stand up vertically, which is a nice touch. It’s a little chunkier, and feels like it can take a tumble. Overall, I really appreciate the 2nd generation micro for its combination of portability, engineering, and most importantly sound quality. The brighter sound signature pairs well with my SoundLink Max, while being portable enough to bring anywhere.

I had the first generation of the micro portable speaker but the 2nd generation is much better!! I love the fact that you can clip it on your bag. The sound is amazing as always. It’s small but mighty!! I use it in my car so I can listen to music from my phone and it sounds amazing and it’s small enough I can tuck it away while I’m parked and away from my car. I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a small compact speaker with great sound!!

loving my new bose speaker! really love the portability and durability of this thing! as you can see from my pictures, i take it everywhere and use it for everything now. also have to mention the ability to sync up with my flex is amazing, just used it for my halloween party, had one inside & one out & i can’t tell you how many people asked about.

I have been using this speaker almost daily for over a month now and it has performed above and beyond my expectations. It is a small speaker but feels substantial - doesn't feel cheap or fragile. I actually dropped it on the pavement when I was using it outside at a tailgate and it didn't seem to phase it - not a scratch on it. The sound is high quality and it can get pretty loud with the volume turned up! It's easy to attach to chairs or can just lay on a flat surface. Overall I'm really happy - Bose didn't disappoint - another great product.

The Bose sound link speaker packs a big wallop in a small package. The sound is great and the volume more than other Bluetooth speakers I have used. The speaker's size and weight feel like it should deliver, and it does. I recommend this speaker; costly but worth it.

This speaker has worked well for me in all kinds of situations. I really like that there is an equalizer in the app that makes it sound even more amazing! Definitely a step up from the previous generation. Would recommend to any and everyone.

This speaker may be small but it works amazingly well. Ut is super simple to connect we have used it with different phones and tablets with no issues. It charges quickly and the battery lasts for days.
