Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have been wanting to purchase this speaker but hesitant at regular price. At the black Friday deal finally grabbed one. Product is solid and seems exceptionally well made. Set up and app are very easy to use. Adjusted eq to my preference and great sound followed. Bass is exceptional for a small speaker. You get what you pay for with this product.Excellent sound in a weatherproof package. Plays loud and clear. Looking forward to summer pool parties jamming with this speaker.

This speaker has really clear sound, strong bass, and gets loud without distortion, and the battery lasts a long time even with daily use. I’ve had it for a while now and it’s been reliable, easy to carry, and definitely worth the money.

This speaker sounds so good! Audio is crisp and clear with nice highs and deep bass. It sounds nice at loud volumes too. Battery life is pretty impressive as well. Very happy with my purchase :)

Great sounds! deep base but expensive!! compared it to my soundcore motion boom plus and tbh its actually louder than this soundlink max!.. yes go on youtube and see reviews but all are done with in 2 feet distance. i placed both speakers against the wall in my garage and walked away about 20 ft. had the volume set the same on both and the montion boom plus was way louder!. will i keep the Bose yes.. only because i was able to price match and had some rearwards points. if it wasn't for the savings i would of returned this speaker the next day and stick with my soundcore speaker. buy it and try the distance review..

The music on my ASUS computer is not as loud as I would like. This BOSE speaker does an excellent job of amplifying the sound to my liking. It is also small, has a long lasting battery without a lot of wire connections.

Best sound!!! My husband does construction and speakers get really dirty. It is so easy to clean and it looks like brand new after wiping it off with a damp cloth. It connects fast, the color is beautiful. It is easy to carry. Very stylish!!! It was a great purchase. My husbands does not leave the house without it. It is amazing how a such small thing can sound so loud and clear.

I bought this speaker for work, I deliver in a noisy truck. The speaker is loud enough and the quality of the sound is remarkable. On top of all of that, it can handle a tumble, a splash, and dusty conditions.

The sound quality is exceptional with clear audio and strong bass. Battery life is impressive and easily lasts through long listening sessions. Pairing was quick and easy right out of the box. The build quality feels solid and durable, and the carrying handle is comfortable and ergonomic, making it easy to take on the go. The color looks great as well. Highly recommend this speaker.

This Bluetooth speaker packs a punch and fills the room with music without needing to be very loud indoors. I look forward to using outdoors. It’s small but loud enough to use for a family gathering. I love it. I think it’s on the expensive side but Bose doesn’t disappoint with the sound and toughness of the speaker. I am glad that I purchased this speaker.

i love that it has such big sound in such small device AND its easy to carry around

Great sound, great size. Love the handle color and volume. Mids are crisp and clear, bass was great after I bumped it up in the app. Tough and great for the pool and beach

Best bluetooth portable speaker that I have ever had. The SoundLink Max offers the full sound that I was looking for an only requires a little bit of space. A full charge battery lasts several full days of use before needing a recharge. Very impressed by this little speaker and highly recommend.

Excellent sound and bass. Powerful and portable. Hold its charge for long periods. Highly satisfied with the purchase, will buy again

Nice bass, great for the shower area a sits water resistant IP67, fast lag free Bluetooth 5.2, pairs well design wise with a MacBook Pro, nice build and super convenient handle, built well and has a hefty felt to it but not too heavy.

It sounds incredible! That Bose sound!! The bass is crazy!!! Rumbles!! Mids and highs are crisp and clear. You can also adjust the EQ to your liking on the app. Great battery life!! Dust and waterproof is a plus. It also looks elegant. A bit pricey but if you can afford it, you'll not regret it.

Love the BOSE portable bluetooth speaker. The battery lasts a long time after it has been charged. It is light weight too and easy to move around to various locations. Great sound!

Excellent sound, wish it was a bit louder. I’ve been using the Bose SoundLink Max, and I’m very impressed. The sound quality is outstanding—clear, powerful, and well-balanced even at higher volumes. The bass is deep without being overwhelming, which makes it great for both indoor and outdoor use. The build quality feels premium and durable, and the battery life easily lasts through long days. Overall, it’s a high-quality speaker that delivers exactly what you expect from Bose.

I absolutely love this box. It’s a little heavier than I expected but it sounds great. It’s waterproof and has a long battery life.

This is my first Bose purchase ever! After contemplating for 5 years on a portable speaker, I chose to go with a Bose based on my mother’s recommendation and a friend who has a Bose surround sound system for his TV. They have spoken good things about Bose. I chose this one also because it was on sale during Black Friday. When I connected my phone to this thing, I was completely shocked and amazed at the sound quality. Its pretty loud too…. in my opinion. I am someone who likes a lot of base in some of my music and for a portable speaker, this was a pleasing a sound. The base is pretty good. I do recommend. Try it when it goes on sale again if you dont want to pay full price.

I'm not a Bose fanboy at all but this speaker is fantastic. I think at one point I owned 15 Bluetooth speakers so I have a good idea of what I want out of a speaker over a wide range of sizes. Everything about the Max is perfect. The bass is solid. I can't believe they fit all this sound into such a small package. The build quality is perfection. The Bluetooth is rock solid. It connects instantly every time. Handles multiple devices no problem. The price is steep so maybe wait for a sale in the future. But even if you pay full price I don't think you will have buyers remorse. I would love if the app EQ was 5 band instead of 3 band but I would not change anything about the speaker itself. So tempted to get another one once they add stereo pairing.
