Ultra-compact Bose SoundLink Micro 2nd Gen drops below $80 in a surprise Amazon sale

Bluetooth speakers from Bose, even smaller ones, typically cost a bit more than competing models from other brands. But now, thanks to Amazon's latest offer, the ultra-compact SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) can be yours at a seriously low price.

Instead of coughing up nearly $130 for this puppy, you can now grab it with a massive 38% discount, which knocks it down to about $80. This is one of the best price prices I've ever come across for this particular model, so I definitely recommend checking it out.

• If you'd rather go for a larger model, the JBL Boombox 4 is a top recommendation at $120 off.

Even though this Bose unit looks very similar to the first generation, which debuted all the way back in 2017, it actually packs some welcome changes. My favorite one has to be the USB-C port that finally brings this compact speaker into modern times, while the IP67 rating keeps it protected against water and dust damage. 

When it comes to audio quality, this fella doesn't disappoint one bit. It's powerful enough to entertain you and a couple of friends, pumping out surprisingly rich and punchy sound for its size. Plus, you can tweak the audio to your taste via the companion app, though the EQ is fairly basic.

While the original SoundLink Micro featured a built-in microphone, this model doesn't. If that's a top priority for you, you should look elsewhere. 

Ultimately, the Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) is one of the best small speakers money can buy. While it's not the cheapest option at full price, Amazon's ongoing deal lets you grab it for 38% off. Just a heads up: the deal is only available on the model in Black, which could mean it doesn't last much longer.
