What's In The Box: Bose SoundLink Max Portable Speaker – Blue Dusk|Removable Bose Rope Handle – Blue Dusk|USB-C Charging Cable|USB-C Power Supply where included by regional package configuration|Safety / Product Documentation|Deco Essentials Exclusive 26 Month Extended Protection Plan --- The Bose SoundLink Max Portable Speaker in Blue Dusk is Bose’s largest and most powerful portable Bluetooth speaker, built to deliver deep bass, wide stereo sound, rugged outdoor durability, and all-day battery life in a grab-and-go design. With an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating, removable rope handle, Bluetooth 5.3, Snapdragon Sound with aptX Adaptive, USB-C phone charging, a built-in 3.5mm AUX input, Bose app EQ control, and up to 20 hours of battery life, the SoundLink Max is designed for backyards, parties, beaches, campsites, hotel rooms, and anywhere bigger portable sound is needed. The SoundLink Max uses Bose’s multi-driver acoustic architecture to produce a much larger presentation than its compact enclosure suggests. Bose emphasizes epic stereo sound and deep bass, with the speaker engineered to deliver substantial low-frequency impact while maintaining clear vocals and detailed mids and highs. Unlike smaller single-driver portable speakers, the Max is specifically designed to create a wider stereo presentation from one enclosure. Its rugged construction is built around an IP67 water- and dust-resistance rating, making the SoundLink Max suitable for outdoor environments where splashes, rain, sand, and dirt are unavoidable. The cabinet is also designed to tolerate everyday bumps and bruising associated with portable use. Bose positions the Max as a speaker that can move between indoor parties and outdoor adventures without requiring delicate handling. Battery life reaches up to 20 hours under Bose’s published test conditions, providing enough power for an entire day of music without returning to a charger. Bose measures this figure using Bluetooth playback at 65% volume under controlled conditions, so actual runtime varies with volume, content, temperature, and whether the USB-C power-bank function is being used. The USB-C connection serves two purposes. It recharges the SoundLink Max and can also charge a connected mobile device from the speaker’s internal battery, helping keep a phone alive during long outings. Bose specifies approximately five hours for a complete speaker charge when using a compatible 15W USB-C power supply. A built-in 3.5mm AUX input gives the Max an important advantage over many modern Bluetooth speakers. Turntables with appropriate line-level output, computers, older music players, DJ equipment, and other analog sources can connect directly without relying on Bluetooth. Wireless connectivity uses Bluetooth 5.3 with SBC and AAC support for broad compatibility. On compatible Android hardware, the SoundLink Max also supports Snapdragon Sound with Qualcomm aptX Adaptive, which dynamically adjusts wireless audio quality and can operate at near-lossless quality under suitable conditions. The removable rope carry handle is central to the Max’s portable design. At just under five pounds, the speaker is substantial but still intended to be carried one-handed. Bose also offers optional replacement handles and a longer shoulder-style carrying strap for users who want additional portability or color customization. The Bose app provides adjustable tone controls, device management, firmware updates, and other settings. A programmable shortcut button on the speaker can also be assigned to supported functions. Bose SimpleSync compatibility allows the Max to connect with selected compatible Bose soundbars and speakers for coordinated playback. The Blue Dusk finish gives the SoundLink Max a muted blue exterior with a matching rope handle, providing a more distinctive alternative to Black while retaining the same acoustic, battery, wireless, and durability specifications. Bose identifies the Blue Dusk version as model 883848-0200, with UPC 017817848824.
