Bose knows how to make products that last, and very much follows the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mantra. Take the Bose SoundLink Micro: Released in 2017, it was such a hit, the company waited until last September to introduce a second generation. And right now, you can get the Bose SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) from Amazon for $99 (originally $129), the lowest price it has reached anywhere, according to price-tracking tools.

With the new speaker, Bose improved on the first generation model in two big ways: the charging port (which is now a standard USB-C) and the battery life (which has doubled to 12 hours). It's also a bit heavier and larger, and comes with an adjustable nylon strap you can use to attach it to bikes, bags, or any other object. There's also a new Spotify Tap button that plays your favorite Spotify playlist at a touch. The only real omission is the loss of a mic, so you won't be able to use it to take phone calls anymore.

The Bluetooth multipoint connection lets you connect up to two devices at the same time and switch between them seamlessly. With Speaker Link, you can sync two Bose speakers ato create a stereo setup.

But the best feature of this small speaker is its strong sound for its compact size. It has rich lows and well-defined highs, according to PCMag's "excellent" review, and the higher-resolution aptX Adaptive codec means you get that extra oomph from compatible devices. It's tough to find a speaker that gives you more for your money than the SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen).
