    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.

    This is the newest Speaker in the Bose Portable speaker segment and is a great speaker with a few issues. Inside the box: You get the speaker itself Manuals USB type C to type C cable and AC adapter As for the speaker itself it's easy to setup you on Android and iPhones. This speaker as far as I know is the first product that supports multi link so you can have two phones connected to it at the same time and switch between them both. The only problem with this is that it has no microphone so you can't use it as a speakerphone. Also this supports snapdragon sound so it supports Apt X adaptive but not the older apt x. So you can get only AAC, or SBC on the major Android phones out like Samsung or Google. Of course you can only get AAC on iOS devices so this isn't an issue if you own an iPhone or iPad. Onto the battery life they say it has a 20 hour battery life and about 3 hours if you blast it. I like that Bose gave us that number as well . As far as sound goes it gets loud and the bass is decent . I wouldn't say it gets a ton of bass tho .it's also IP67 rated so you don't need to worry about bringing this outside though. .my issue with this speaker is the MSRP of $399. I have heard speakers that just sound as good if not better for under $200. At MSRP it's hard to recommend this speaker unless you don't mind the premium for the Bose name.

      Thanks for your thorough review of the SoundLink Max Bluetooth speaker!

      I'm happy to hear that you found the speaker easy to set up, that you're happy with its volume, and that you're quite happy with the bass performance. Don't forget that bass output can be increased by checking the bass controls on your connected device, or by moving the SoundLink Max speaker closer to a wall, or corner, or placing it on or near a hard surface. It is true that the SoundLink Max doesn't feature a built-in mic.

      Warm regards

    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.
