    Best speaker we’ve ever owned. Bought it for my wife because she needed a compact speaker for cheer practice. This thing fills an entire gymnasium with sound. 5 out of 5 stars.

    The system at default has a very low frequency sound, heavy on the bass as Bose is known for. The fact that you can alter the eq through the app is VERY helpful! Utilizing the eq and adding a second speaker results in a very impressive one room home audio system!! It really is impressive the bass that comes out of such small drivers!

    The Bose Pro Max is a portable powerhouse. It delivers incredibly clear sound with full-bodied bass, perfect for any environment. The design is both stylish and functional, featuring a durable, dustproof and waterproof build. You can easily adjust settings through the Bose app and even sync with other speakers. It's a highly recommended portable speaker.

    Purchased this on release, and it is a great product. It sounds fantastic for a speaker this size and with how portable it is. Biggest issue is the price. Really should be $150 cheaper. You’ll enjoy it if you buy now, but you will wnjoy it more if you catch a sale!

    *Review of the Bose SoundLink Max** I bought the Bose SoundLink Max hoping to enhance my listening experience, especially given its high price and promised specifications. However, after several weeks of use, I feel disappointed by several aspects that do not justify the cost. **Pros:** 1. **Design:** The speaker has an elegant and compact design that integrates well into any space. The build quality seems robust. 2. **Connectivity:** It offers multiple connectivity options, including Bluetooth, aux, and USB, making it easy to use with various devices. **Cons:** 1. **Sound quality:** Despite the specifications, the sound quality is not that impressive. The bass is weak, and the highs tend to distort at high volumes. This is not what I expected from a speaker in this price range. 2. **Volume:** The maximum volume is lower than expected. In large or noisy environments, it fails to fill the space with enough sound. **Conclusion:** In summary, the Bose SoundLink Max does not meet expectations for its high price. Although it has an attractive design and good connectivity options, the sound quality and insufficient volume make it not worth recommending. For this price, I expected much more. --- I hope this version is useful for expressing your experience with the speaker.

      Posted .

      Thank you for your detailed review of the SoundLink Max speaker! I'm happy that you like the robust design and flexible connectivity options of the speaker.

      If you're finding that the sound doesn't offer enough bass, then aside from adjusting the bass controls on your connected device, try placing the speaker nearer a wall or corner, which will automatically boost the bass response.

      Also, don't forget that our support team will be very happy to help you get the best out of your speaker, if needed: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

    While this speaker is a little on the expensive side, you get what you pay for. I cannot believe how much clear bass can come from such a small speaker. This thing blows my older Sonos 3 and 5 speakers away with its room filling ability, and better yet, its portable. The app allows you to tailor the EQ settings to your liking. Very happy with this purchase!

    Like having the 80’s boombox with a smaller and lighter footprint and better sound. This little thing packs a punch. Can replace a lot of subpar speakers you might have. Bose audio is second to none. This thing is also water resistant so if it rains, no problem, keep on jamming. Just wish Bose worked with HomeKit.
