Customer Ratings & Reviews

First and foremost, this speaker is indeed a premium investment—heavy and on the pricier side, but worth every penny. When it comes to sound quality, this speaker overwhelmingly upholds Bose's renowned reputation for exceptional audio. I take it with me everywhere, whether I’m working in the garage, enjoying music, or streaming shows from my phone. It's consistently reliable, delivering an impressive sound experience every time. The Bose app enhances the Bluetooth connection by allowing you to tailor the audio with a straightforward equalizer that adjusts bass, midrange, and treble. This feature is particularly valuable because the speaker tends to emphasize bass. And let me tell you, the sound quality is remarkable. The powerful bass is so strong that you can feel the air moving in front of the speaker. It easily saturates a room with rich, clear sound and reaches high volumes without any distortion. Battery life is another standout feature; it barely dips, only about 20%, even after several hours of moderate use. With my frequent usage, I find myself needing to charge it only every 1.5 weeks. Overall, this speaker ranks among the best investments I have ever made.

Great product, awesome sound and size. Easy to travel with, and it connects to multiple. Great product to buy if you don’t want to store a huge speaker and you could always buy more to connect if you are looking for something a little louder. I would prefer purchasing 2 or more than investing in a big hunk of speaker you have to store.

I bought the Bose SoundLink Max a few weeks ago, and it has honestly exceeded all my expectations. The sound is impressive: powerful bass, crisp highs, and an overall balance that makes any type of music sound incredible. I've tried many portable speakers, but none compare to this one in terms of audio quality. What surprised me most was the volume it can reach without distortion. I've used it at outdoor gatherings, at the beach, and at home, and it's always performed perfectly. The battery lasts a long time, easily giving me more than 20 hours on a single charge. Plus, the design is sleek and robust. You can tell it's made with quality materials. It's also water-resistant, so I don't worry if it gets splashed or if I take it to the pool. In short, if you're looking for a portable speaker that combines power, clarity, durability, and style, the SoundLink Max is an investment worth making. Bose has done it again!

This Bose speaker is built like a tank and delivers excellent sound. The Bose app makes setup, control, and firmware updates straightforward, and keeping the firmware current helps it perform at its best. It charges via USB‑C and includes an aux output, which is very convenient for flexible connections. The speaker is wrapped in a durable rubberized shell, and the buttons feel solid and well constructed, not flimsy or prone to peeling. Bluetooth pairing is seamless, the audio is especially impressive outdoors, and it is designed to handle getting wet, making it a great choice for use outside or around water.

Bought this as a gift for my 16 year old son, per his request . He loves it. Great sound and very portable . I personally like the smaller version b/c which he also has because it is lighter and more portable but but he had to have the bigger one he says it has better bass and is louder . We have never tested the range and are always pretty close to it .

This music box has incredible sound- takes up little room ( actually I hide mine behind a tray in my kitchen) / it’s easily transportable from room to room ( however I bought a 2 nd one for my upstairs bedroom). It’s such great quality sound ( although I am biased to Bose as I feel their products exude the best clear quality sound with great bass and volume capability. The next best thing other than a regular stereo- just turn it on and enjoy great music- I carry it around to rooms in my home while I’m cleaning g- keeps me motivated. THE BEST portable music machine that’s out there !!

Very well built. Sound quality is very clean and warm. Bass is not over powering and still feels deep. The bluetooth signal is always steady, and works through walls. Battery life is great even after playing it for hours turned all the way up. Charges fast, and light enough to carry around when I walk.

This is the best portable Bose Speaker I have ever owned. Bass is beautiful and perfect. Sounds AMAZING. Would completely buy again if i had to get another one, I might even purchase one for my game room, this connects super easy and fast via Bluetooth and I just am amazed how powerful it is being that it is extremely portable because of its size

I used this speaker on a beach vacation and it worked perfectly. Very loud and clear. It produced nice bass on the beach. We also forgot to charge our phones one night so it was a nice option to use the speaker to charge phones on beach!

So glad I purchased this amazing Bose speaker. The sound is crisp and the battery life last a very long time. Very durable!!! Very easy to wipe clean.

I’ve used every single Bluetooth speaker ever made, most never make it through our hot summer with battery life. This speaker is worth every dollar. Long lasting battery, best sounding speaker for our job site

I will say this is an insane speaker. Straight forward bluetooth. No wifi or vocie assistant. Its designed strong and packs a punch. Its the perfect beach and pool speaker. It is not intended to be a home speaker which is why it lacks the sonos features. Bose does it again. Big sound. Small design! It is a luxary purchase as it had an intended function as an on the go speaker not a home speaker.

It has a great sound, a lightweight desing, and the battery lasts a long time. Excellent product!

This Bose speaker completely impressed me! The sound quality is crystal clear with deep, powerful bass and balanced highs. It easily fills the room or outdoor space with rich sound. The Bluetooth connection is fast and stable, and the battery lasts much longer than I expected. I love the sleek design and solid build — it feels premium. Perfect for music, parties, or travel. Definitely worth every dollar!

I’m loving this speaker! For its size and weight, the performance is incredible, and the build feels super premium. The best part? The audio input makes it the perfect companion for my mobile office. I use it for video conferencing on the go, and it’s flawless—no annoying lag or audio cutouts at all!

This product has been Trustworthy with the Best performance Anywhere I go. And it has a great battery life. Plus it has a great sound with any sound. I Hope BOSE creates more products like this

I recently purchased the Bose speaker and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. The sound quality is exceptionally clean, delivering crisp and clear audio that enhances my listening experience. Additionally, the battery life is remarkable, lasting much longer than I expected, which is perfect for extended use. Overall, I highly recommend the Bose speaker to anyone in the market for a reliable and high-quality audio device.

So small but so pwerful. Bass is booming despite size. Clarity and definition is great. Full strreo feel

Great sound quality as expected from bose. Like that the eq is adjustable in the app. Just hope it doesn't end up like my 3yo soundlink flex, non usable ONLY due to the usb port wearing out (part of it pulls out of the housing.. looked it up and its a common problem with that model) havent used it a whole lot, its bigger than expected but, got a great deal on open box ($252 vs the retail $399 for the tiniest little scuff you can barely see to the right of the bose insignia)

Introducing SoundLink Max Speaker. Epic stereo sound and deep bass turn good times to the max, letting you feel the music from your head to your toes. And with its compact design and removable handle, you can take the party anywhere you are. I recommend it!
