    Expensive but it's worth for the price

    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.

    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!

    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 .

    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.

    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!

    Coming from the Revolve with the smart speaker and revolve and revolve plus the sound on this is immense and i dont even have to go more than 50% volume!. Its also a lot bigger than I thought too! It has a nice durable handle and not a hinge like the revolve and the smart bose speaker (or i call that one revolve deluxe). I've had/have several Bose products. This one does not miss the mark!

    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!

    lovely speaker to join my Bose collection. The sound quality is amazing, and you can manage and adjust EQ from Bose app, and to sync with another Bose speaker. Tried it in-store first, the handle definitely feels better than the Marshall's. Can't wait to take it outdoors to play some music with friends.

    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.

    The Bose Soundlink MAX is one of the best if not the most amazing and immersive speakers Bose has made thus far. My family and I enjoy every bit of sound that comes out of this amazing speaker. It fills the environment up just so perfectly! My favorite feature is the Soundlink pairing where I can have multiple devices connected to the Bluetooth speaker.
