Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth Speaker – Black

Its great.. and here’s why
This is exactly what Bose claim, the best sounding speaker for its size. In fact i prefer this to many other speakers physically bigger and ought to be outclassing its tiny form factor. Obviously you are paying a little for the Bose name and quality, which i think is fair enough, but with that you get their sound signature, which does make for a pleasant EQ that doesn’t leave any holes across the spectrum the way others do in exaggerated upper bass or scooped mids. Normally i really dislike ‘mono boxes’ however good they are but i dont find that with this one at all, surprisingly. I did find that however with its bigger brother (the soundlink colour ii). I think the DSP has been really well tuned and this good EQ is definitely all contributing to that. Now please don’t expect to have the bass blow your mind, of course there are physical limitations that even Bose cant work around (yet!) but regardless you’ll find it hard not to smile at the performance when the bassline drops. What makes this so wonderful for me, as i travel an awful lot, is the size and weight. There is almost no excuse not to throw it in your bag however little you are traveling with, and the battery life is plenty enough at 6 hours. The magic in this unit is when you’re chilling out and just have it sat in the room on the table. Many times now ive found myself enjoying the music i listen to at a comfortable volume whilst browsing the internet on my phone and completely forgetting its there. Then when i look up and see how tiny it is, and just how pleasing and full the sound is, i feel totally reassured about my purchase, ie NO buyer’s regret! A little trick in any room if you want to increase the bass is actually to place it in the corner of the room, those low frequencies will suddenly boom a really eye-opening amount, try it if you don’t believe me 😉 The fact that you can run two of them in stereo has my purchase finger twitching again, ill be honest. And hey, its amazon, you can always return it (if you need that final push to press the order button – yes im talking to you!) but im pretty this great little bluetooth speaker will be on a one way journey to yours..

Great Purchase!
What a fantastic unit that is small and compact and yet produces excellent sound quality.

Good for the size and with a lot of features
This little gadget works as well as any Bose speaker – which is to say it’s easy to use and sounds good*. It needs a firmware update which the app will load for you though it takes AGES to download before it applies and the screen needs to stay in the Bose app while this happens (a pain not to download in the background).*The sound is solid – amazingly good bass for the size of the unit but slightly coloured as a result of this balancing act, not stereo (but it has a trick for that**), which obviously means you can’t judge spatial placement and so on, but the sound is bright, agreeable and quite listenable – and the speaker is waterproof enough for the shower if you really need that.And the speaker is a conference speaker and microphone of course – though my use of it in Teams suggests that the noise rejection isn’t all it should be and other callers may get echoing if you use this function. But it works well in 1:1 phone calls which is something I guess. You can also summon your AI assistant when not in a call, or pause, skip and resume play. And all that works as you’d expect too. Very Bose…** The app allows you to add another speaker to make a stereo pair – I haven’t tested this but I assume it works as well as Bose connectivity usually does.**UPDATE** Just bought another one of these as a gift. Can also confirm these things are waterproof 🙂

Surprisingly good sound from such a small speaker; handy multifunction button
I bought one of these for myself a while ago and was mainly using it to listen to music and podcasts around the house. The sound is impressive for such a small unit (sure, there are compromises but for the size it’s great, and not at all tinny) and it’s great to be able to leave my phone on its charger and have control (via the multifunction button) of whatever I’m listening to in, say, the bathroom or the kitchen. The battery life is also decent – I haven’t timed it but I easily get several hours of listening between charges.Where it really came into its own though was on holiday. In a self-catering cottage, with a huge open-plan kitchen/lounge/diner, we were able to clearly listen to music over the noise of the extractor fan and general cooking sounds, even with the speaker on the other side of the room.The prompt to review came up because I bought a second one for my partner as a gift, which he’s equally impressed by.

Petit, compact avec un son de grande qualité.

O produto é ótimo, o som emitido e muito alto e de qualidade! Vale o investimento.
