Tiny Bose Speaker Promises Big Sound, Fits Nicely Next To Your Existential Dread
KEY POINTS
- •Bose offers the SoundLink Micro Portable Speaker, about four inches wide, usually $129 but discounted to $79.99 on Amazon.
- •The speaker boasts an IP67 waterproof rating, 12 hours of battery life, and a nylon strap for attachment to backpacks or bikes.
- •Additional deals include a 5TB Seagate Game Drive for $169.99 at Best Buy and refurbished Apple Watch Series 9 units for as low as $189.99 from Woot.
Bose, the folks who gave us legendary QuietComfort headphones, decided tiny is mighty again with their SoundLink Micro Portable Speaker—just over four inches square and lighter than your Sunday regrets. Usually $129, it’s now $79.99 at Amazon, probably because even mystical-brand rock wonders can't escape discount season. This dinky, IP67-rated waterproof cube runs 12 hours—longer than my attention span—and comes with a nylon strap so it can cling to your bike or purse as desperately as you cling to hope. Meanwhile, Best Buy’s discounting a 5TB Seagate Game Drive for $169.99 that only grudgingly works with Xbox Series S/X games, Woot hawks refurbished Apple Watch Series 9s for $189.99 to tempt you with near-new tech, and Amazon’s Ultraloq Bolt lock offers fingerprint unlocking for $74.99. Because why have one technology remind you of your failures, when you can have three?
