Questions & Answers

My cool taste in music is bound to annoy a lot of people out in nature, but how many can I bother?

That is an excellent Even though the speaker is small, it has a very high annoyance factor. Your rate of size/agitation is certainly one that you will be happy with, which will certainly leave a great deal of tree huggers in a state of confusion. Despite the fact that dense forests may restrict your penetration of certain ear canals, I recommend including a wide selection of music to compensate for this. All but the most slack-witted will have their attention piqued by a speed metal playlist, preferably Megadeth The jawed nature of the nature People who attend. This small device carries Bose's legacy of surround sound technology. It's proven ability to disrupt even the most delicate of snowflakes is evidenced by it's ability to disturb and unsettle them. A benefit of this tool is that you can agitate marine life because it is water-resistant up to IPX7. The 6 hour battery will keep you occupied for hours as you enjoy the stares and comments of people in trouble and irritation. This is the right place for you if attention is not your goal! With its wireless character, it's possible to hide this device. This dramatically increases the entertainment value as the speaker can be placed in hidden or unreachable areas. Hikers who are intent on finding the source of the sound do their best to pinpoint the source. You can do this while maintaining complete anonymity by pretending to read a global warming blog on your smart phone while you make slight tweaks to the playlist, perhaps adding My response is based largely on what you said and I hope it is helpful, and I wish you the best of luck as you expose as many people and wildlife as possible to your excellent choice of music as possible.

Are there any floaties in it?

I don't think you'll float, but you will! The following is an IT reference.

Do you think it's submersible ?

The IPX7 designation means that the product is waterproof, not water-resistant. The water resistance is beyond the waterproof level so you can actually dunk your device in

How long will it take to charge the speaker when it's plugged in?

It has only been a week since I received it, so I have no idea. I took it to a party last week, and it was fully charged and ready to use After about five hours of usage, it stopped working. A little over 60% of the battery was left after that.

Selected User Reviews For Bose SoundLink Micro: Small Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Waterproof), Black

Do not waste your money and pass on this exam
3/5

In the process of comparing three portable speakers of the same price (around $100 each), I found that I'd like to test a JBL Flip 4 but I can't find a model that I like - It has the best sound quality of all three (amazing sound The Bose Soundlink Mini is similar to this -* There is no noticeable crackling in the music when played at maximum volume with high treble. My table was shaking on max volume while the bass was strong and deep. It is very loud at its highest volume

Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM
- This speaker is smaller than the JBL 4, but larger and more powerful than the Bose Micro*. I noticed some crackling when the volume was set to maximum for some songs with high treble (I wasn't There is a slight bass (not as strong as it could be)*- Max volume is extremely loud (similar to JBL 4). Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth is also extremely loud & micro. This is the smallest of the three - There was a 75% reduction in maximum sound quality from the JBL 4/Ultimate Ears*- I don't think the sound is clear and is muffled (and the sound is nowhere near that of the The charging port is exposed, but does it really need to be The overall evaluation is -* * * If I had to choose, I would pick JBL (amazing sound quality and outstanding price) This is very similar to the Bose Soundlink Mini, except it's Portable JBL 4 Headphones (75 % smaller than JBL 4 ) and Ultimate Ears (75 % smaller than JBL 4) available. Even though it was very small, the Bose Micro had poor sound quality for its price (a very disappointing purchase).

The evil one
3/5

Applicant must have a credit card and apply through the app. Is incapable of doing anything. This is absurd. There is no way to connect via Bluetooth unless you download the app, and the app can only be downloaded after a credit card has been entered (REALLY!). What does this amazing app do after I have gone through all that (and have entered my Apple ID three times)? I can connect my speaker to my iPhone using this app. Therefore, I am giving away my data and my financial information without adding any value to it. I don't need to install any special apps or give access to my money to my other bluetooth devices. It would not have been purchased by me if I had read this. The performance is so lousy that even if it is successful, it is still so low-profile I wouldn't have purchased it if it had displayed bad brow behavior. However, the device might be the best ever, but I will not purchase another Bose product again.

The strap mounting system from Bose is terrible, and Bose denies warranty claims based on this bad quality Keeping in mind the weather we're experiencing now, I tried to find a waterproof speaker that would work well on my bike handlebars for bike commuting
3/5

Wow, the strap design is terrible. The sound quality and waterproofness of this watch seem great, but wow, the strap design is terrible. Exactly what is the point of rolling under the tire of a dump truck with a 100 dollar speaker? The hook piece embedded in the silicone strap eventually broke every time this thing fell off my handlebars, but I was always able to retrieve it before it was run over. It was my understanding that since this product is only 7 months old that it would still be covered under the manufacturer's warranty. Evidently, Bose is unwilling to There is no way that I would purchase a Bose speaker again, and I advise you to avoid this product until they come up with a better solution for mounting the speaker on.

This speaker is perfect for combat
5/5

I purchased this speaker specifically for my deployment in Afghanistan, where it is water resistant and durable enough to suit extreme conditions. It is loud enough to replace my JBL flip 3 that I have, yet it has no comparison in both quality and bass to the Bose. You get what you pay for with Bose products, now mind you this is a tiny speaker, so don't expect to get the same quality sound as the Soundlink Mini, it's a bigger speaker, so the sound is louder. You should choose this speaker if you need a light weight and durable model that you can take anywhere you need. If you are a Bose fan, this product is perfect for you.

The speaker is good if you need an IP7 waterproof speaker, but it sounds "like an old Bose with a cold" when The task of writing this review of the Bose SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker is quite difficult for me
4/5

Its own sound is clear, unequalled, and loud enough for outdoors when there is nothing else to compare it to. You can submerge it in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes with no issues, and it is dust-proof and waterproof, so it is durable for use in extreme weather, biking, and This isn't going to make your carry-on any heavier, since it's less than 10 ounces You can wear a weight on your chest or backpack. It is brilliant to have a mounting band built-in. You can attach this to your belt, to the strap on your backpack, even to the handle of a thin bicycle An average charge provides you with about six hours of playback time. The speaker is a single (mono), but Bose provides an app called Bose Connect that lets you pair up to four SoundLink speakers for stereo sound, and it works fine (as long as you use your latest Bose Bluetooth device). It performed well on both iOS 10 and iOS 11 on two different devices (Apple iPhone 7 Plus and iPad Pro). It also worked nicely on changing devices between iOS 10 and iOS 11. Connecting the SoundLink Micro to your device creates an announcement ("connected!") that informs you that it is paired. If there were an option for disabling spoken prompts (perhaps in a future firmware update), I would enjoy it. As well as setting the language, naming the device, and updating the firmware, the Bose Connect app offers other features. Almost 90 minutes were spent on the first firmware update (! ). A fast internet connection is required There may have been a computer overload on Bose's servers. There is nothing to worry about here. As well as As opposed to other single-parent families The following are speaker offerings of this size At higher volumes, the sound is clear and balanced and does not distort. However, when you compare it to Bose's other products, you find that it fails to take the cake In particular, I have been using my SoundLink Mini for years as a traveling workhorse. As for the SoundLink Mini's size and weight, it weighs 1 pound, 8 ounces rather than 10 ounces. It also is There is however absolutely no comparison when it comes to and foremost, with a mono speaker, you have to compromise in terms of sound separation and presence in favor of portability and size. The Micro's problem is that it lacks not only a strong bass response, but also a strong midrange as well The range is also wide. Although the sound of the SoundLink Micro is clear and balanced, it does sound like a Bose with a cold when compared to the Bose SoundLink Mini. A video that demonstrates the sound difference was very hard to attach to this review because I couldn't figure out how to attach it. How would I recommend? If you do not absolutely need the smaller size and waterproof form factor of the SoundLink Micro, go for the SoundLink Mini.
