This speaker delivers concert-quality sound from something the size of a soda can. The Bose SoundLink Micro uses their proprietary audio technology to produce surprisingly full, balanced sound without distortion even at high volumes. For anyone who's frustrated with tinny portable speakers, this is the jump in quality that actually justifies the investment.
Perfect for the friend or sibling who's always on the move. Whether they're hiking, camping, taking road trips, or just moving between friend groups, this speaker goes everywhere without being a hassle. It's especially great for the person who already has nice headphones but wants something to share music with others without sacrificing quality.
You get the speaker, a charging cable, and a protective carrying case that clips to backpacks. It weighs less than a pound and charges via USB-C, so it fits easily into travel bags. The battery lasts 6 hours per charge. At $119, you're paying for real engineering and materials that will last years of regular use rather than something that sounds good for six months.
