    You couldn't ask for a better sound. I originally had the smaller one and it was great, but this one is top tier.

    Man, I love this thing. I have always been a Bose fan and love all of their products that I own. The minute I picked up the box it was evident this thing is a beast, very hefty. The SoundLink Max is amazing and sounds great. I may need to get second. Keep up the great work Bose!

    I have owned the Bose s1 pro, soundlink revolve plus and micro. The s1 pro was too big and the micro and revolve okay but Lacked bass. This is the overall balance winner. The amount of bass this thing puts out is unimaginable! How Bose? How? Anyway. I moved over to the UE hyperboom and Epicboom for stereo pairing. Great speakers btw. But this thing knocked the epicboom out! Now I question, can you pair two Bose Max together in stereo? Or with a micro or flex? I tried the app Bose connect and bose. Bose can find the max but not the micro and Bose connect app can only do vise versa? No party mode? Will there be an update? Nonetheless beautiful speaker for the value!

    I was about to pay $699 for the Bose s1 pro+ till i heard this atomic box call soundlink max played next to it and it took me just a few seconds to go with this soundlink max, when i crank it up loud my neighbors can hear the sound clearly, also this is a dual voltage system 110 to 240v meaning you can travel oversea with it and dont have to worry about using a stepdown.

    Beautiful little boom box speaker. Doesn’t get super loud but stays clear to its top end. Perfect for in the bathroom for shower music and getting cleaned up. Also great for light music on the deck outside enjoying a drink and grilling. Battery life is fair.

    As with most Bose stuff, its quality sound. Clarity, sound, etc is great. But $399?? Nah.. it's price point should be $199 at best.

    so, i currently have the Jbl boombox 3 and wanted a speaker a little more portable..so i asked my father to purchase this speaker for me and i’d pay him back…but when i got it and played some music, the bass was actually pretty decent until about 60-70% or higher volume..the bass starts to get kinda messy and pretty bad when going above these volume levels..and for 400$..? i’d suggest you save up an extra 100$ and get the Jbl Boombox 3. Im sure most of everyone will enjoy this speaker tho..but if you’re a bass-head, like me and really want that “thump” in every song, i suggest saving up for the Jbl boombox 3, or wait until the boombox 4 realeases…

      Thanks for your review of the SoundLink Max Bluetooth speaker! I'm happy to hear you've been enjoying the speaker's bass output. It's true that the sound can begin to distort if the speaker is used at very high volumes, e.g. above 70%. However, I would also advise general caution here, as prolonged use at high volumes can cause damage to the user's hearing. For any further questions about the SoundLink Max, our support team will gladly assist: https://support.bose.com/s/get-help-landing-page?language=en_US.

    I wouldn't waste my money. It can start to have distortion! Might try to take this back or mail it back to my mobile company. I'm sure a jbl xtreme 4 would be way better. I know I'd perfer my jbl flip 6 ($89 when i got it and its way smaller) over this even.
