    Sounded Distorted / Choppy at High Volumes

    I’m not sure if it was just the one I received, but once I would put the volume to max or close to max it would sound distorted. I even reduced the bass in the app to see if it would fix it and it still sounded bad. It is loud for a small speaker, but I couldn’t listen to it at max because of the issue I had with it.

    Great Size with Really Strong Sound

    Bose - SoundLink Max Portable Bluetooth Speaker I have been listening to this speaker for several days and I am really impressed with both its size and sound. The size is perfect for carrying it around the house or to take with you. I absolutely love the handle on top that just begs you to pick this speaker up and carry it with you. The handle is well padded and just cradles so well in your hand. The sound is very impressive with great clear highs, strong midrange vocals, and then the solid deep base that just completes a well-balanced sound stage. I noticed a “spatial” sound effect when I listen to some music. The speaker produces a wider than expected separation of left and right channels even though the main speakers are only about 8 inches apart. When I look behind the speaker grill with a flashlight, I noticed the two main speakers are slightly angled Left and Right. Is this separation enhanced by the angles, or is there some signal processing going on to create a wider sound stage? In any event, it works and it works well. The bass is strong and punchy but not boomy or overdone. Even at low volume levels, the sound is still full and rich with good base response. At high volume levels the highs are very strong with no apparent distortion being heard. The app further allows you to tweak the sound to your own music and taste. While the preset sound modes are ok, I still prefer to do my own tweaking of bass, midranges, and treble which can easily be done with the app. The controls on the top of the speaker are easy to access and function with little effort. The speaker has been syncing to my phone flawlessly each time I turn on the speaker. When turning on the speaker, the voice assistant will give you a battery status report. The Bose App further reinforces the speaker settings and battery level with a percentage icon for battery charge. The App additionally allows volume and EQ settings as well as a “Shortcut” button and several product tips about your speaker. You can also “turn off” the voice prompt of battery status on powering up if you don’t want to hear that. Charging is done with an included 5 volt 3 Amp Charger and USB-C cable. Both are of high quality. On reading the small print on the bottom of the speaker you can use other USB-C chargers from 5 volt to 20 volt. This allows you to use any PD (Power Delivery) Style USB-C charger from other devices. In addition, the speaker can charge your phone when plugged into the same USB-C charge port which supplies 5 volts 3 amp output. SUMMARY: This is a very well-constructed speaker with awesome sound in a handy portable size. The rubberized exterior is smooth and has a good feel to it. It appears to be built tough and made to go out and even get wet based on its water rating of IP67. Coupled with great battery life (up to 20 hours), the battery also allows you to charge your phone if necessary while listening to your music. The free APP allows more choices of your sound with the EQ controls and works very well in the background. I definitely like this speaker a lot. It has become my Go-To speaker to grab and go with me. I would absolutely recommend this speaker to anyone looking for quality and great sound.

    a little pricey just don’t like the fact that it doesn’t come with a microphone and it sounds way different outdoors from indoors and you cannot even connect a usb memory stick
