    I gifted these to my grandparents and they looked so confused. A week later, I got calls from them thanking me for them. They keep dust out from the woodshop and the waterproofing is great for the garden!

    I was pleasantly surprised when this speaker sounded better at home than it did in the store. It is easy to set up and is quite portable and waterproof. It’s great to have Bose sound on the go!

    I have purchased the Soundlink mininportable speaker last Christmas as a gift for myself. For someone who is always on the go, and doesn’t want to carry bulky, and heavy stuff around, this is the perfect bluetooth speaker for me. Everytime my friends and I hang out, I’d take this out start chilling. The sound and bass is amazing!

    Bought 2 for my granddaughters. They love them. They are used while showering or in their rooms. Also, great outside with their friends. Premium Bose sound in a compact, easily portable device.

    I use this at work all the time. It easily straps to my belt allowing me to have music anywhere I go. If I have to leave my phone laying somewhere, the distance that the connection maintains is pretty impressive. The sound quality is impressive. I often have the music volume at half and that is sometimes too loud.

    I have the soundlink flex and i love that little speaker so naturally i wanted this guy when it came out. I figured it would have nice and deep bass in a small form factor since that is what bose is known for. It sounded good and the speaker did get loud but the bass for me was a bit lacking. Not sure what i was expecting but it should have sounded much bigger than it did to me. If you already own a flex just buy anorher one and stereo pair them, it will have a similar sound profile and be a little more flexible and portable, and cheaper.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Thanks for your review of the SoundLink Max speaker! I'm glad you liked the sound and volume overall. If bass is a little lacking, then moving the speaker closer to a wall or corner, or placing it on or near a hard surface, will automatically increase bass response. You can also adjust the bass and treble controls on your connected device, if possible. Our support team will also be on hand, should you require further assistance. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose

    I bought this hoping the 1/8" cable jack would playback in real time (i.e. - no delay like a bluetooth connection). Sadly, there was a delay, which forced me to return this product. For its size, it is very strong & loud. Very clear. Not loud enough to use as an extension speaker for a keyboard though.

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. I understand how important real-time playback without delay is, especially when using an auxiliary cable. While it’s great to hear that the device is strong, loud, and clear for its size, I’m sorry the delay with the 1/8" cable didn't meet your expectations and led to your decision to return it. If you’re looking for a solution with minimal latency for real-time monitoring, I’d be happy to recommend other options that might better suit your needs. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like assistance! bose
