However, it is now available at an affordable price during Amazon Prime Day Big Deal Days sale. The speaker boasts impressive bass, excellent attention to detail, and excellent sound reproduction. In the US, the deal offers a 22% discount, bringing the price down to $99.99 (was $129). In the UK, a 33% discount brings the price to £79.95 (was £119.95). The Bose SoundLink Micro Gen 2 features a sleek and compact design, IP67 waterproofing, 12 hours of battery life, and customizable EQ. Its bass performance was particularly praised in the blind test, with participants finding it to provide more full-bodied and dynamic low-end output than rivals.
