Bose SoundLink Micro 2 review: Big Bose sound in a pocket-sized package

The Bose SoundLink Micro 2 review highlights the compact size, big sound and robust features of this Bluetooth speaker. Priced at $129 in the U.S. and £119 in the U.K., it's available from retailers like Best Buy and Amazon in various colors. Weighing just 11.2 ounces, it's highly portable.

The speaker boasts an IP67 durability rating, making it resistant to dust and water submersion up to a meter deep for 30 minutes. This makes it ideal for outdoor activities. With 12 hours of battery life, it can easily accompany you on a day out. It's also compatible with multipoint connectivity for up to two devices and Bose's Party Mode, allowing connection of two SoundLink speakers for enhanced sound.

The Bose SoundLink Micro 2 delivers balanced sound across all frequencies - bass, mid and treble. Tested with tracks like Prince's 'Let's Go Crazy', Phoebe Bridgers' 'Graceland Too' and Fontaines D.C.'s 'It's Amazing To Be Young', it maintained clear, strong tones without any tininess. When dropped from chest height, it showed its sturdy build, reinforced by its IP67 rating. Overall, the Bose SoundLink Micro 2 offers great value for its price, providing high-quality sound and durability in a pocket-sized package.
