# Bose Soundlink Portable Micro Speaker Drops to $99
The Bose Soundlink Portable Micro speaker is now selling for $99, down from its regular $149 price tag. This represents a $50 discount on one of the company's most compact audio devices.
The Soundlink Micro measures roughly 4.8 by 1.6 inches and weighs just over half a pound, making it genuinely portable. Despite its small footprint, reviewers consistently note that the speaker delivers clear, balanced sound suitable for small rooms or outdoor spaces. Bose engineered the device with a passive bass radiator to amplify low frequencies without adding bulk.
Battery life reaches approximately 6 hours on a single charge via USB-C. The speaker connects via Bluetooth and includes a standard aux input if you prefer a wired connection. It carries an IPX7 rating, meaning it survives submersion in up to 3 feet of fresh water for 30 minutes. That water resistance makes it suitable for poolside use or bathroom listening.
For budget-conscious buyers weighing portable speaker options, this price matters. The Soundlink Micro sits between entry-level speakers around $30-40 and premium portable models exceeding $200. At $99, it offers genuine Bose engineering and sound quality without the premium markup. Competing options like the JBL Flip 6 at comparable prices offer similar features, though brand preference often determines choice.
This sale likely reflects standard retail rotation rather than end-of-life pricing. Bose periodically discounts the Soundlink line to drive volume sales. If you've considered upgrading from budget speakers or want reliable audio for travel and outdoor activities, this timing presents a reasonable entry point.
