Bose SoundLink Micro

The SoundLink Micro is a portable speaker from Bose, designed to accompany outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling or days out in the open air. Its compact size allows it to be easily attached to a backpack, a bike or a cooler bag thanks to its silicone strap.

Its design relies on a specific driver combined with passive radiators, a combination intended to deliver a refined sound despite the unit's small footprint. The speaker carries an IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it is designed to withstand immersion, including repeated immersion, in fresh water as well as seawater. Its outer shell is made from silicone rubber, a material chosen to limit seams and enhance resistance to knocks, scratches and cracks.

This model is aimed at nomadic, active use, for those who want to take their music along on outdoor trips, near water or in conditions where a more fragile speaker would be at risk of damage.

When buying used, it is worth checking the condition of the silicone strap, which is subject to wear from repeated attachment, as well as the integrity of the silicone shell for any cracks or tears that could compromise waterproofing. Checking that the controls work properly and assessing battery life is also recommended, as these elements can wear with time on a portable device.

The SoundLink Micro is available in several colours, including black, red and blue.
