Bose knows how to create long-lasting products, and very much adheres to the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mantra. Take the Bose SoundLink Micro: Released in 2017, it was such a hit that the company waited until last September to introduce the second generation. And right now, you can get the Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd generation) from Amazon for $99 (originally $129), which is the lowest price we’ve ever seen, according to the price-tracking tool.
With the new speaker, Bose improved on the first-generation model in two big ways: the charging port (which is now a standard USB-C) and battery life (which has doubled to 12 hours). It’s also a bit heavy and large, and comes with an adjustable nylon strap that you can use to attach it to a bike, bag, or any other item. There’s also a new Spotify Tap button that plays your favorite Spotify playlist with a single touch. The only real omission is the loss of the mic, so you won’t be able to use it to take phone calls anymore.
Bluetooth multipoint connection lets you connect to two devices at the same time and seamlessly switch between them. With Speaker Link, you can sync two Bose speakers to create a stereo setup.
What do you think so far?
But the best feature of this small speaker is its powerful sound considering its compact size. That said, it has rich lows and well-defined highs. PCMag’s “excellent” reviewAnd the high-resolution aptX Adaptive codec means you get extra oomph from compatible devices. It’s hard to find a speaker that gives you more bang for your buck than the SoundLink Micro (2nd generation).
