This Speaker hasChanged My Life.
I went back and forth about whether to buy this thing for about a month. I already have a Bose Soundlink Revolve so buying another speaker seemed rather wasteful and redundant. But, I finally caved and bought it for myself for Christmas and I'm glad I did. It's smaller and lighter than the Revolve making the Micro much easier to carry around, not that the Revolve is huge or anything, but its round shape makes carrying the Revolve a bit more awkward to fit comfortably into my bag. Plus, when I need a portable speaker, I tend to be carrying around a lot of crap so the less weight I can schlep around, the better. The Micro is small, sleek and lightweight making it barely noticeable in a bag or purse. The sound of the Revolve is a little more robust than on the Micro, but the Micro kicks out way more sound than I expected from such a small package. It's very impressive and sounds great for what I need it to do. The sound is clear with good bass and shockingly powerful for such a small speaker. As an added bonus, the Micro is an amazing shower speaker. I didn't buy the Micro with the intent of using it in the shower, but adding it to my morning routine has made a world of difference. I'm not gonna lie. I am not a morning person. Okay, that's a huge understatement. Seriously, I wake up hating the universe and everyone in it... even you. I prefer to avoid any social interactions before noon. It's that bad. Since I started listening to music in the shower with my trusty Soundlink Micro, my morning related rage has decreased significantly. I can now tolerate social interactions by 9:00 or 10:00. Give me a cup of Earl Gray and I can probably push it to 8:00. The little strappy thing on the back of the speaker is simple but effective for hanging the speaker in the shower or anywhere else. I come out of the shower clean, refreshed and 50% less homicidal. It's a Festivus miracle! So in summary, I highly recommend the Bose Soundlink Micro if you just need a small, durable lightweight speaker that sounds much bigger than it is. It's now my go-to speaker when I need one on the go and my Revolve has taken up residence at my office where it pumps out my favorite tunes keeping me awake and drowning out the drudgery of the workday.
