The audio connection option for the SoundLink Micro is through industry-standard Bluetooth A2DP.

No. The speaker’s wireless connection is Bluetooth only.

The speaker has a wireless range up to 30 ft (9 m). Performance can be affected by obstacles such as walls, interference from Wi-Fi or other wireless devices.

Yes, you can. This feature requires any two Bose Bluetooth speakers (may be a combination) from the following list: SoundLink Micro, SoundLink Color II, SoundLink Revolve and SoundLink Revolve+. The primary method to enable Party Mode—and Stereo Mode, too—is through the Bose Connect app. Follow instructions found in the app.

For SoundLink Micro, we’ve stretched beyond the required testing parameters—in this case an IPX7-rated product—to ensure that your speaker will long outlast an accidental drop into water. The SoundLink Micro can be immersed in water up to 3.3 ft (1 m) deep, for up to 30 minutes. This means that you can use SoundLink Micro in more places and not worry if it gets wet.

Yes, the SoundLink Micro will sink; it does not float.

The SoundLink Micro keeps track of the last eight devices to have paired and connected with it, dropping the least recently used when a new one is paired.

Yes. The SoundLink Micro can be used for both out loud listening and hands-free communication.

When a call comes in, the audio on the SoundLink Micro will pause, and the call will ring through the speaker. If you wish to answer the call through the SoundLink Micro, simply press the multi-function button to answer the call. You can now talk into the speaker itself to conduct your phone call. Once you end your call, music playback will resume. Some details of this experience will vary depending on the implementation by the phone manufacturer.

With typical usage, the SoundLink Micro battery lasts up to 6 hours. Battery performance varies with the content played and volume at which it’s played.

While not playing music, much of the SoundLink Micro’s battery charge can be recovered in approximately 4 hours when using a USB power source of 1 amp of current. With a 1.5 amp power source, charging time may be closer to 3 hours. Charging from alternate USB power sources, or when playing music, may take longer.

The voice prompts serve two key purposes. First, they provide guidance during the Bluetooth pairing and connection process. Second, they identify the connected source devices by text to speech, simplifying usage with more than one source device.

Yes. Voice prompts can be disabled either in the Bose Connect app, or by simultaneously pressing the “+” (volume up) and “-” (volume down) buttons. We recommend leaving voice prompts enabled because of the additional functionality they provide.

Yes. However, the quality of the experience—specifically, synchronization between audio and video—may be compromised due to various signal processing technologies implemented in the speakers.

Yes. Any Bose Bluetooth speaker works with the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot for hands-free voice control to play music, provide information, news, sports scores, weather and more—instantly.
