    AWESOME Portable Booming Speaker!

    This Bose SoundLink Max is absolutely fantastic! Taking it out of the box, very sturdy and easy to grab rope-like strap across the top. Easy and comfortable to carry this study speaker that has some heft, but not too too heavy. Very easy to set up. I first connected it to my iPhone 13 Pro and after making the Bluetooth connection, it prompted me to download the Bose app (which I did right away). The app is not necessary to start playing music, but it has a plethora of settings and adjustments. I played around with the app for a while setting the bass, mid, and treble to my liking at various volumes and multiple songs and song types. Cranking up the tunes, this speaker is LOUD and sounds super rich to me. Much more booming bass than I was even expecting. Played it outdoors on the patio (probably annoying my neighbors) and indoors for at least 5-6 hours in total. And like I said with that handle, very easy to grab and go. I also connected it via Bluetooth to my Mac with no issue and it produced about the same sound as from my iPhone (I had to play with my Music app settings a little, similar to the iPhone). With Bose you can’t go wrong. This will be my go-to portable speaker this coming summer for sure!

    I'm quite disappointed with this speaker. While it's a very nice size, it skips while playing...don't know why. It's like a record a skipping...annoying! At first we thought it may be a wifi issue, or the distance from the modem/router....not so; it still skips planted right beside it. Tried a different speaker to test, didn't have a problem with that one...it's the Bose. :/

      Hello,

      Sorry to hear that you're facing some connectivity issues. The SoundLink Micro is a Bluetooth speaker opposed to WiFi, therefore this will not have an effect on the connectivity.

      You can find some great relevant troubleshooting here: https://bose.life/3hnAZLG this will show some improvements.

      Kind regards,
      Tegan - Bose Customer Support bose

    The sound quality is good. Sound is clear. The charge duration of 6 hours is a disappointment especially on long drives. I was also disappointed by the lack of voice control. I specifically asked the sales person for that feature since I was using it in an older car without Bluetooth. There are better options for a lower price.
