Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decided to upgrade from the flex. The sound stage is much wider. It is stereo but the drivers are close so it’s not like having 2 speakers. But makes movies sound great. Used it at a pool party with about 30 people and it filled the space and lasted about 4 to 5 hours at almost full blast. Minimal distortion and the bass was impressive for an outdoor space. As with all these little speakers, the sound deeper if placed up against a wall or corner where the sound can quell. It also sounds deep and really great at low volumes in smaller rooms.

It sounds great. Portability is important, and the battery life is extremely useful.

I couldn’t be more impressed with the Bose SoundLink Max. The sound quality is absolutely phenomenal – rich bass, clear mids, and crisp highs, even at higher volumes. It fills the room (or backyard) effortlessly, making it perfect for gatherings or just enjoying music at home. The build feels premium and solid, with a sleek matte black finish that looks great anywhere. Battery life is excellent, easily lasting all day on a single charge. Bluetooth connection is quick and stable. Bose nailed it with this speaker – worth every penny!

This speaker ROCKS. It is powerful, with amazing highs, lows, and midrange sound. I LOVE how the grab handle is on top. Simple things like that make it a keeper. It was NOT cheap, but at the same time, the sound is just....wow. And a 20 hour battery? Oh, and this thing actually has STEREO sound. Sit close enough to it and you can hear the left and right channels. Bonus...keeper. I might buy another one and link them up.

Doesn’t seem like this Bluetooth speaker would produce such a rich, powerful sound due to its small footprint but that’s exactly what it does!! Will fill a BIG room with immersible music that last for hours! This thing can handle any type of celebration you throw at it! It’s a Bose, what else would we expect!!!

This is a terrific speaker to turn my phone into a whole sound system. Just set the speaker on a table and have awesome sound fill the room. No need for flashing LED's -how long can you sit and watch a speaker's flashing lights anyway? This speaker speaks for itself! Good sound and easy portability. I have no regrets in making this purchase.

I bought this to replace an old Bose portable soundlink that wasn't connecting to my phone well. This speaker is mighty! Loud enough for when I teach my outdoor fitness class. Easy bluetooth connection and handy that it also can be used as a phone charger! Great bass, defo would be fantastic for an outdoor party. The one con is that it's a little heavier than expected, but sturdy

Amazing sound quality, a little on the heavy side but the performance and battery size make for it.

Not my first bose product purchased, that is why I go back to this original brand. It i a great portable speaker sound it clear

Great little speaker. Has a deep base for its size without compromising the midrange and highs. It’s also nice that you can adjust the sounds with the equalizer in the Bose app. I would highly recommend this speaker.

I bought this to replace my Bose Mini SoundLink 1. That speaker served me for 11 years! College parties, beach trips, kayaking, camping, work, grilling, sad boy hours. You name it, that speaker played its little heart out. It became an icon in the friend group. While many have had 4-6 speakers over the years, I've had just the one. I unfortunately dunked it in water while on the river. The battery was beginning to fail anyway, but that deemed to be too much for my Mini. It still played for a few hours after that, but its final song was Great Expectations by Day Wave on 07/04/2024. It played all the way through and turned off for its last time. I put that speaker though things it was never built to do, and it just kept going. I bought the Max because it IS built to withstand my lifestyle, and Bose as a portable speaker has won me over. I will forever buy Bose, and this speaker.. I mean wow! What a sound! The battery life is incredible, the tone and bass is amazing! truly one of the best sounding Bluetooth speakers I've heard for its size. To be fair it's a little too soon to tell, but if this is anything like my Mini SoundLink 1, (and this can withstand the river) I will be playing music out of it for many years to come, and I believe this too will become the next icon amongst friends and family. I have already enjoyed many hours from the new Bose Max.

Great sound, good bass, good battery life. This is my new go-to for outdoor anything, and I play tunes constantly!

It's compact size belies its capabilities, making it the perfect companion for both intimate moments or lively celebrations. The SoundLink Max isn't just about raw power. It's also about versatility and convenience. With its seamless bluetooth connectivity you can effortlessly stream your favorite tunes from any compatible device, freeing you from the constraints of wires and cables. And thanks to its great battery life you can keep the party going for hours on end with out missing a beat.

Overall, better than I expected. This small speaker packs quite a punch in volume and bass. I really love the handle and how portable it is. It suits my needs perfectly.

Full sound in a variety of settings and awesome battery life. This unit has worked great in hotel rooms when travelling, and did a great job at the beach. I like how light weight it is also. Easy to carry to the beach and back, easy to fit ina backpack.

Sound is great and love the color and i like that i could use it for a whole day not charged.

The SoundLink Max delivers excellent sound quality (which BOSE is known for!) The speaker measures in at 10.5” x 5” x 4” which makes it very portable. The first thing I noticed was the building quality. It has a little heft, which I love, and the rope handle is a nice touch. The sound quality is amazing, which is nice is such a small package. Too many times, I have used bluetooth portable speakers, and the sound quality negates portability. The bass was not too much, and the mids sounded great. I am a big classical fan, and this speaker manages to perform well in the genre. For battery, we are looking at 20 hours at moderate volume. I was able to use the device for around 5 hours, low volume, and the device was still at 100%, which was crazy. I believe if you keep the device at a decent to low volume, you could possibly see better battery life in terms of hours. There is also a USB-C port you can use to charge a phone, which is a neat feature to have. You can never have enough ways to charge handy. Overall, this is a well-designed, excellent performing Bluetooth speak. This will be a daily driver for me and my family as the portablity and sound, along with excellent battery life make this a must have for us.

The Bose SoundLink Max Portable Bluetooth Speaker is an impressive piece of audio engineering and the Blue Dusk color is a nice touch too! The speaker is quite lightweight relative to the extremely impressive audio quality that it delivers. The deep base is stereo sound is really quite impressive and it will keep delivering such impressive audio for nearly 20 hours according to Bose on a single charge. When you're not charging the speaker, you can even use it to charge your phone! The speaker is charged by a USB-C charger (included). It has an IP67 Water and Dust resistance rating and so it's ready to go on your next adventure wherever that may take you. It weighs in at 4.7lbs and measures 4.73" H x 10.42" W x 4.13" D. It's definitely a companion you'll want with you wherever you're going. The handle at the top is detachable should you want to remove it. Setup was exceptionally easy using the Bose app on iOS. The app is also available on the Google Play store for those with an Android based phone or tablet. You can easily connect to the speaker using the app, Bluetooth or the Aux connection. I would definitely recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a speaker to take on the road with them!

This Bose Bluetooth speaker system is awesome. The sound is pure and the Bass is kicking. It sounds great and you can take it anywhere. My wife took it away from me so I guess I’ll be buying another one!

Sound quality is great. Very durable. Battery life is excellent. Extremely happy with this purchase!
