The verdict

The Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) finally gets some much-needed updates, bringing it in line with the rest of Bose’s portable speaker lineup. With improved durability, USB-C charging (at last), and noticeably better sound, the Micro (2nd Gen) sets the standard for palm-sized performance, making the premium price a little easier to swallow. Just don’t expect it to last all day.
