The SoundLink Micro is available in black, midnight blue, and orange. It has the same soft-touch rubber finish as Bose’s SoundLink Color II, making it easy to grip while protecting it from the environment.The SoundLink Micro is water-resistant, but it does not float like the UE Roll 2. Still, it is a great speaker for the shower. Incidentally, this speaker will continue to play music even when submerged in water. To be sure, I tried to use Google Assistant while submerged, but could not get it to work. Once out of the water, the Micro’s microphone effectively registers Smart Assistant requests and phone calls. The Bose Connect app offers fun features like “Party Mode,” which lets you connect two SoundLink speakers to double the audio output. If the speakers are placed farther apart, Party Mode can also be used to listen in stereo. You can also access other features from the Bose Connect app, such as an automatic off timer and virtual volume control; the Bose Connect app is meant to allow for firmware updates. As for sound, I was most impressed with how much bass this little guy was able to output for its size; it doesn’t offer the sound quality of Bose’s larger, more expensive Bluetooth speakers, including the SoundLink Mini 2. However, in terms of bass performance, it is significantly louder and louder than the JBL Clip 2 and other pocketable speakers. The Bose SoundLink Micro is also suitable for outdoor use. Its lightweight, portable design allows it to be taken on the go and attached to a bag with a tear-resistant strap; its IP67 waterproof rating allows it to be submerged for up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 meter. The drawback is that the sound is not very loud. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
