You can change your shortcut button to begin playing music from your Spotify account or to access your voice assistant. Other options may become available with future firmware updates through the Bose app.

Party Mode lets you connect two Bose Bluetooth speakers to play audio in perfect sync. This feature requires two Bose Bluetooth speakers with a shortcut button (may be a combination) of the following speakers: SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen), SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen), SoundLink Plus, or SoundLink Max.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Creuss from Mini Bose Speaker 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Blue from Best little speaker you’ll ever own! 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!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mike D from Little powerhouse 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

Rated 5 out of 5 by BruceS from Bose Micro 2 is a Great Portable Speaker 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bubba Wolf from A Worthy Upgrade 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Keribell from Small but mighty 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!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by rmdw348 from Big sound in small, portable speaker 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JJ from big sound from a little package 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ace4692407 from Great personal speaker 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.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Foo foo skier from Better than ever! I received my 2nd generation speaker and charged it right away. The sound is AMAZING and not just for a speaker this size. I have the first generation, and the sound on my 2nd generation is more dynamic. I found everything about this generation to be more impressive than the first generation. Since nothing is perfect, my only complaint is I would like the charging cable to be integrated somehow. But since there aren't any others like that, this is no inconvenience. If you're questioning the power because of the size, don't! Just get it. This speaker may be small, but the sound is mighty. Mine travels with me on every trip. I love having music when I get ready in the morning in hotrls or wherever. And it's easy to pack or carry. Even in a purse.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Corporate Hooper from Tiny, tough, and great for Zoom/Teams Bought the SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) for travel and it’s turned into my everyday desk speaker too. For something that clips to a backpack, the sound is warm with legit bass and clear mids—music and podcasts both sound better than they should at this size. The silicone strap is clutch for showers, bike rides, and hotel rooms. Work bonus: I use it during video meetings and interviews as my speaker. Voices on Zoom/Teams come through crisp and natural, so it’s easier to catch details and not ask people to repeat themselves. It switches from music to a call instantly, and I usually keep my mic on my laptop/earbuds while the Micro handles the output—great combo for clarity. USB-C charging is convenient, and it shrugs off spills. Caveats: battery is a full workday, not a weekend; and at max volume the bass eases off and things flatten a bit. Still, if you want a tiny, tough speaker that travels well and also makes work calls easier to hear, this one hits the sweet spot.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Guitar Guy from Packs a punch! So impressive! Rich, clean, crisp sound and lots of boomy bass for such a compact BT speaker! USB C charging. Could be even better with Magnetic charging and strap. I’ve been using this to jam with some tunes on the guitar. I’m able to attach this to just about anything. Portability is great! Small enough for your desk, bathroom etc. Pairs to just about anything BT! Use it with your Apple TV or Mini IPad for a movie bedside!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen2397 from Bose is the Best I bought the first generation years ago and was very pleased with the sound quality - and the second generation is definitely an improvement. I love Bose products, especially the Ultra Open Earbuds, but I enjoy the speaker for times when I am not using the earbuds. It is easy to carry with me from room to room - kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, or outside! The sound from 1st generation was good, but the second generation sound is even better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SeveH from Pound for Pound- Awesome Performance The Micro has fantastic sound quality for its compact size. I have used other Bluetooth speakers for golf and camping and this packs the most performance per pound. Additionally, the battery life is quite impressive. I use other Bose products for less portable set-ups but the SoundLink Micro is a critical piece of my music arsenal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Guitar Guy from Small, powerful, bold and beautiful! Couldn’t wait for this to arrive! Kicks a punch for such a compact speaker! Great for all Bluetooth applications! As a guitarist of over 36 years I attach the speaker to my strap and jam along with my favorite tunes! Rugged, durable and don’t be afraid when it drops cause it keeps going strong. I use it for connecting to my Apple TV in a small bedroom space. It holds its own! Office space, deck, camper, backpack, candlelight dinners with your beautiful wife…

Rated 5 out of 5 by Baby Bose Lover from Great Speaker Around the House and On the Go! This mini bluetooth speaker is GREAT for me around my apartment and on the go. My bathroom is far from my living room but this speaker makes listening to music in the shower and getting dressed super easy and convenient. The sound is incredible, and the bass is nicely calibrated, just like all other Bose products. I also took it on a short bike ride and it was like my own personal concert with me. I love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Leoxzi from Love the new version! USB-C for the win! I previously owned the first generation and I am so glad with the improvements on this version. I love that it has USB-C since I travel a lot so I prefer to just keep the amount of cables down. I feel that the design is rugged enough to be thrown around in my bag while travelling. The best part is the fact I can use it in the shower or at the pool. I really like the size, however the only issue/recommendation I have is that the strap that it has is not always long enough for my purposes. I would love to be able to wrap it around the shower curtain rail or something like that. I also wish that the bottom of the speaker had a stand or something since I don’t like to lay it down. The sound is still good but I just lean it up against the shower wall or a bottle to get the best effect. I also have the Bose Soundlink Max, so when I am in the pool or party I love to connect them so that we have the same music coming from different sources. I love the seamless connection and I do have to say for such a small speak the noise quality is excellent. I listen to a range of music and love that you can change the EQ through the app. The app isn’t always my favourite to use but it makes it easy to connect. I think that this product is great, it is a bit bigger than my JBL waterproof speak and the noise quality is much better than my old Braven speaker. I really prefer to use this. If you’re on the fence, I really recommend this product especially if you travel or like to listen to music in “not-dry” conditions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by coco24 from ROCK OUT IN THE SHOWER THE SOUND!!!! I have come to expect a lot from Bose and the SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) meets and even exceeds those expectations. I am a true music lover and have to have it around me at all times. And that's the one I most love about this unit - I can use it while in the shower. And the best part, there is no difference in sound quality when either wet or dry. Phenomenal, rich, and full sound ALL the time. It easily connects to any device without a hiccup and the battery life is out of this world. It is truly a great product. If I had to change one thing, it would be the strap. I am not a fan of it - I have the 1st Gen Micro and I feel like I can maneuver it a bit easier than the new strap. However, the new strap is longer than the original, so I feel that will come in handy when we're at the beach and want to attach it to an umbrella post.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Exceeds Expectations from SoundLink Micro 2nd Gen Refined Boosted & Enhanced I received my SoundLink Micro 2nd Gen speaker about a month ago and let me start off by saying it has been revamped and exponentially enhanced when compared to its predecessor. The most notable physical design improvement would have to be the ruggedized and replaceable strap that allow the speaker to be placed just about anywhere from bike handlebars to the shower. The sound quality and customization capabilities are light years beyond the original. Lastly, the enhanced connectivity and battery life make this the premier portable and budget friendly speaker that is ready for just about anything. I highly recommend this speaker!
