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.

It’s good but not worth the sale price of $300. $200-250 I’ll buy it again

It is everything I expected from a Bose. Delivery was fast.

I am impressed. It has become my new favorite every day speaker.

Good it’s the best in sandals bdhxhopal fhjsuoak d

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

There's a reason this is one of my favorite brands. Everything they make is premium. This Bluetooth speaker is no different and offers a great experience right out of the box. Opening the box you can instantly feel the quality of the speaker and see the thought and care put into the product. All it takes to setup is to download the Bose app and to push the power button. From the app, you can control all of the sound settings so you can boost the bass or treble depending on how you like it. Over the years, I have had at least a dozen other speakers like this and I think this is my favorite since the two Bose speakers I had about a decade ago. Back then, the speakers had the best bass and sound, and that is still true today. This speaker really stands out if you like a lot of bass. The sound quality is crisp, clear and full. The quality is premium compared to other speakers. I'm not a scientist, but I've observed that waterproof speakers typically have slightly lower quality sound because there is no open air flow from the speaker since it is completely sealed. It seems that Bose has figured out how to improve on that. The bass comes out loud and the treble is crystal clear. It's also easy to carry the speaker with the built in strap. I take the speaker out to the back yard often and even with my hands full I can grab the strap and bring it out. I'm always moving the speaker around and it's nice that I don't have to worry about it getting rained on or being damaged by spills. The speaker is very durable and repels both water and sand (if you take to the beach). Getting back to the premium sound, I was relaxing in my backyard over the weekend and had the speaker sitting on the outdoor coffee table. The volume was around 30-40% and when I put my feet up on the table the whole table was vibrating from the bass. That's not something my other speakers can do. And although I don't think I'll ever listen to it at max volume, the sound quality doesn't seem to deteriorate at high levels. After several hours of listening the battery was still almost fully charged. I'm pretty sure it will outlast my cell phone battery, which by the way, can be charged by plugging into the speaker. And finally, a note on using this in a group. You can have multiple phones connected at once, so it is a great way to share music with friends and family. Overall, I'm very pleased with this speaker and am looking forward to using it this summer.

I returned it because the sound wasn't what I expected.

Battery goes fine even if you don’t use it so when is on and loud battery drain fast
