Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for a backyard movie night because it cost the same as rental speakers. It has some bass in a tiny speaker.

Wanted a small speaker to use with my phone. This works great and the sound is wonderful - full and vibrant. A great little speaker for a good price.

Great sounds coming out of the speaker. Recommend to everyone looking for great sounds out of a small speaker

This little speaker bumps! The sound quality that come off this little speaker is amazing, so clear and very loud.

As usual, BOSE delivers again. This speaker is everything and more that one would expect from a 'shower' speaker.

Bought this for my son to use in door room, he loves it! Sound quality is great. Easily hooks up phone using Bluetooth.

This little thing produces great sound for its size. Doesn't last as long as the specs describe, but not bad. Connected two of them and sadly the stereo sound does not play as loud as a single speaker. Switch to party mode and the two speakers get very loud, but no stereo. Therefore, 4 stars.

It sounds great! Perfect for mountain bikes. The sound is crystal clear without blasting loud music to people around you.

Awesome sound for the size. Bought two of them and paired together for stereo listening. A must for on the go outings!

Bluetooth connectivity is seamless and it sounds great! Also love the band, which makes this easy to hang all over the house!

Not as loud as loud as I'd hope for the quality of sound is good though

Purchased as a gift based on great Bose reputation and it did not disappoint! Can go from shower to pool party and retain great quality sound.

I have two of these and often pair them in Bose's "party mode" for stereo sound. Definitely meets my expectation for Bose quality full-range sound.

Rich and good sound. I'll definitely buy it again as the one I bought was a gift for a friend and he really loved it.

I like the sound quality this speaker provides but it is a bit limited as far as the volume. Expected a bit more than other compact speakers but it isn't there. I am also not impressed with the app that is required to connect. Bluetooth is there for a reason.

Awesome sound. Bose never disappoints. Nice value. Would buy again.

I have always considered Bose speakers to be deceptively good. They aren't the most configurable so I've read past reviews from audiophiles being somewhat critical that they couldn't make the speakers meet their subjective tastes. I appreciate good sound but am not that user. Bose is designed for easy use and solid sound. This Soundlink Max speaker is really a treat. It's styled after a small boom box. It's only a speaker, via Bluetooth or aux port, but sits like a fun stereo. The grills for the drivers are all hard so no worry of tearing. The edge of the box is rubberized which is fine, but I could see it potentially being sticky as it ages, but I could be mistaken. The handle is comfortable and soft and is connected with braided nylon like rope which is a fun touch. The companion app is free and the Google play store and Apple app store both have it. It was easy and smooth to connect the speaker to both an android phone and an iPhone. The Bose app allows for a multi connection setup so transfer of music was seamless between the devices. There is a three band equalizer in the app too and my tweaking of it did produce detectable changes to the sound but it was not extremely customizable. This would be where someone might ding it, but I was able to tweak it to my liking. Overall the sound is true to Bose' reputation, full, bass rich, the lows, mids and highs all feel substantial, and the sound is not sacrificing tone for power. Considering the size of this device, I'm really surprised by the volume. It totally punches above its size and while it's not the cheapest Bluetooth speaker, it is clearly a high end speaker. I would say there is a place for cheaper options, but if you want a weather resistant, high end sound, this Soundlink Max by Bose is worth the price.

Love this little speaker. Works perfectly with a wonderful sound for such a little speaker. I would highly reccommend.

The Bose micro speaker is a snap to connect to your Bluetooth device, and the sound quality is superior to any other I have purchased.

Absolutly love Bose. Perfect sound and all I ever buy in sound is Bose even though Bose is expensive it is worth the quality.
