    Sounds amazing. 2 stars because mine stopped charging after 1 month. Never got wet or anything like that. Hope my exchange last longer than that.

    Product performs as expected. Not lacking nor exceptional, simply as expected. Best Buy return policy of 15 days is overly restrictive. I will research other retailers before using best by in the future.

    Portable Powerhouse of Sound

    The Bose SoundLink Max is a dense, yet very portable speaker. The sound is room filling, customizable in the Bose app, and out of the box provides a great experience. The speaker is not small, but not as big as you might expect. It is approximately 10.5” x 5” x 4”. It has a grippy rope and rubberized carrying handle. The handle gives it a playful look and is extremely practical. The blue color is really nice and subtle. Easy pairing on Android devices with Google Fast Pair worked great on a Pixel phone. It uses bluetooth 5.3 and supports high quality steaming on Android devices. It also paired easily with an iPhone and an iPad and sounded great. The battery life is stated at 20 hours, and I’ve been getting just over that, guessing it can vary a bit depending on steam quality and/or volume. You can also use the USB type C port to charge a device. There is also an aux port that could be used to connecting devices. The sound is really incredible. The bass is unreal from a device this size. Mid tones are clear and full, and upper tones are bright but not tinny. It fills a rather large room easily, and is great to have poolside. It also support IP67 with durability from splashes and short submersions. This is a portable powerhouse of sound in a premium product from a well known and trusted speaker brand. I easily recommend getting this if you are looking for a portable speaker.

      Thank you for your review, and I'm very happy to hear that you've been enjoying the room-filling Bose sound, especially with regard to bass response! The handle is indeed practical for when it comes to taking the speaker with you and using it in a variety of outdoor environments. The "IP67" dust and water resistance rating will give you peace of mind in these situations. Warm regards, Fiona M. - Bose Customer Support bose
