This speaker is rugged and durable, perfect for on-the-go outdoorsy types. It's IP67 water resistant, which means it'll stand up to almost anything nature can throw at it short of total immersion in water — and even then, a short dip won't hurt.

"Great sound for a smaller speaker and good battery life. Easy to carry in vest pocket and great to use while working outside. After having one for just a week my wife asked me to order one for her to use for working in the garden, which I did," one happy customer said.

Big campsite? No problem. With a 30-foot Bluetooth range and up to six hours of playback time, this speaker can keep the party going no matter how far from your tent you set up the fire.

One customer said this: "Great speaker! It is the heaviest mini speaker I have ever purchased. In the world of sound I am an absolute snob. I only buy the best which is why I am a Bose aficionado. Why do I focus on the weight? A heavy speaker is typically a better speaker. Does this mean it is so heavy you won't want to carry it? NO!!! It has a handy strap and you can take it everywhere. It will fit in a back pocket I checked and the sound is great in all conditions. So give your ears a gift and buy this Bose Mini speaker. You will never regret the quality of the sound!"

The integrated microphone means you can take phone calls on this speaker, just as easily as you can blast your favorite tunes. The app will automatically update the speaker, too, so you'll always have access to the latest features.

"The Bose SoundLink Micro is far and away the best small speaker I've used yet. I've used countless no-name brand speakers and other brand name speakers (and countless $20-$30 'waterproof' speakers on Amazon) and this one absolutely blows those away," one customer said.

In addition to all its other features, you can pair multiple Bose Soundlink Micro speakers together to create a better, more immersive soundscape. The more speakers you have, the wider the range of the party.

"This is my first time buying a Bose product and I am completely blown away! I listen to music all the time and I've used a few different Bluetooth speakers from other big name brands. None of them are as good as these. I purchased two so I could get a nice full sound. These little guys pack a punch!" one customer raved. "They are so crisp and clear sounding. I'm picking up on subtle sounds that I've never heard before and I'm very impressed."
