This speaker has a design flaw with parasitic battery discharge (possibly from Bluetooth staying active) even after turning off the speaker. Check out forums online, it is a known issue that drains from 10-20% per week if the speaker is left unplugged. It's forgivable for a $25 Temu junker, but not this. Anyway mine drained to 0% (not knowing this) and now it won't turn on anymore or charge the battery. Im getting it replaced *hopefully* though Bose warranty, but 3-4 week claims are an annoying chore to deal with for a 'premium' product. Missed the 15 day BB return window unfortunately. It sounded fantastic when it worked for the month I had it, but not worth the hassle. Buyer beware.

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Bose SoundLink Max Andy. We’re very sorry to hear about the parasitic battery discharge issue and the inconvenience it has caused, especially with your speaker draining completely and no longer powering on. We understand how frustrating it is to miss the retailer’s return window and then face a 3-4 week warranty claim process. Since your unit is already being processed for replacement, we’ll do our best to ensure the claim is handled as smoothly as possible.
Your feedback is important, it helps us identify areas where we need to improve both product performance and the support experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the sound quality while it worked, and we want to make sure you can enjoy that again without the hassle.
For future use, here is a helpful article for the battery not charging:

Great sound, poorly made product. When I first bought the speaker the volume button wouldn't work. Ok- I can work around and change volume level from the phone. But now, the speaker won't even charge. The sound is great, but this is not the type of quality I would expect out of a $200 product. EXTREMELY disappointed.

Hi, thank you for your review. It is always great to hear that customer love the sound of their speakers! I am surprised to hear that you were unable to get the volume to work and speaker to charge. It is likely that resetting the speaker will allow you to adjust the volume again. We have a great guide on resetting your speaker here: https://bose.life/3Gf2lkH
I would also recommend trying a different charger to see if this allows you to charge the speaker again. A power supply rating of 1 A / 1000 mA or higher is recommended.
If you require further support, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer support team: https://bose.life/3nTDo5H

I will say, the sound on these are amazing until after about 3-4 uses. However, within the very short time and few uses, I found the speakers to become distorted quickly and permanently. The sound cracks at just about every volume and distorts the sound. I never played these close to loud enough to damage the speakers and have kept the volume about middle at most. These are just terrible quality and I do not recommend them at all. I have had my replacement for only a few days and maybe put about 10 minutes of sound through them before they went bad. I will not be getting a third.

This product came in the mail. The security seal was broken. The speaker was there but the charging cable was missing.

I heard that Bose is the best, it wasn't good experience because the sound is breaking up too much. so, I thought may this one individual product not working but I went to the Best Buy to exchange the same Boss speaker. Unfortunately this boss speaker doesn't turn off and heat lever was very up. According to Goggle it can blast too and it can occur fire too. I have to keep this speaker outside my home overnight to keep my house safe. I will never ever buy this product again. very very bad experience. I will look for another option.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand your concern, and we want to reassure you that potential causes for overheating or explosion in electronic devices typically stem from external hazards, such as exposure to extreme temperatures, physical damage, or improper battery replacement, not from a design flaw in Bose products.

Bought this open box and was amazed with its sound quality and sturdiness. My major issue however is within 24 hours of purchasing the strap that attached it to my backpack strap failed this my speaker fell and was lost and presumably stolen as I retraced my steps no longer than 10 minutes after leaving my car. (It was off so no music was playing therefore I wouldn’t have heard a lack of music)

I missed the 30 day cut off since I had been sick. I even said I have proof to show my sickness and they would not take it. Even the manager. I have purchased so many electronic devices. We will no longer be shopping at Best Buy.

I tried it out in the store and was impressed. I had every intention of using it in my car because my radio is broken. I’m not sure if I just got a bad one but it was at least 50% less loud than the one on display in the store. I ended up returning it. Sound quality was terrible, battery life was short, I’d like to keep looking to buy something a little bigger.

the strap is not very secure, the slightest movement upward will disconnect it. I planned on clipping this to my belt or bag when snowboarding but instantly upon unboxing it, I knew it wouldn't work.

STILL does not work, despite all sales assurances. The Bluetooth connection software thoroughly scrambled all pre-existing WiFi connectors aboard my 2021 HP-Spectre. Now they tell me to buy a new computer. I think I'll just regift this boat anchor onto some other unwitting soul.

Not sure what all the hype is about this speaker because I found it to be shallow sounding for as much as it costs. Thought it would have had a nice rich full sound being Bose and it doesn't. Bought an insignia speaker instead for less than half the cost and it sounds just about the same.

Despite the advertisements, this Is totally not waterproof. Was on a flotation device today, and if fell into 18 inches of water. I immediately grabbed it, but it was too late and no longer functional. And, of course, now out of warranty. Spend your money elsewhere.
