Bose unveils diminutive SoundLink Micro wireless Bluetooth speaker
If you are a student, you are probably back in school by now. Yeah, going to class can sometimes be a drag, but learning new stuff can be fun too. Heck, it is also a great way to socialize and meet new people. Not to mention, wearing freshly bought clothes and carrying a new backpack can be an exciting experience.
But what if you want to listen to music when you aren't doing school work? Yeah, you can play your favorite jams using your smartphone, but really, a Bluetooth speaker will provide more volume, and probably, better sound too. Today, Bose unveils a new model that should be ideal for students or anyone, really. It is incredibly small at just 1.5 inches high and 3.75 inches wide, making it perfect for tossing it into a backpack. Heck, thanks to the integrated strap, you can easily attach it to your bag too. If you are rough on your gear, do not worry as it is durable -- it has an IPX7 waterproof rating.
"The Micro is packed with technology. A new custom transducer, miniature dual-passive radiators, and a rechargeable lithium-ion battery were engineered together -- as a micro-system. Inch for inch, the Micro delivers a different kind of mobile audio -- up to 6 hours of surprisingly loud and clear audio and low bass -- from an enclosure that fits entirely in the palm of your hand," says Bose.
The company further says, "The Micro is friendly. It uses simple voice prompts for Bluetooth pairing, has an integrated speakerphone, and a multi-purpose button to take calls, make them, and access your VPA with one push -- without grabbing your phone. When used with the Bose Connect app, it can sync with other SoundLink speakers for Stereo Mode (left-right channel) or Party Mode (to play music simultaneously)."
Millennials (or any age-group, really) should appreciate the fun colors, of which there are three to choose -- black, midnight blue (navy), and bright orange. While all three look great, the orange variant is the most intriguing to me -- it is fun, and just looking at it raises my mood.
If you want to buy the diminutive SoundLink Micro Bluetooth speaker, it can be yours starting on September 21. You can pre-order it immediately from the manufacturer here. While its $110 price is higher than some similarly sized Bluetooth speakers, Bose is known for its legendary sound quality, so it should be worth the premium. I mean, why buy a no-name budget speaker if it sounds bad and doesn't make you happy?
