I like the base,the sound when i play my songs. The bass is unbeatable because no matter how loud it i don't feel any vibration whatsoever,its smoth all through and it's nt heavy to carry at at. I would recommend this 10/10

The Verdict: The Bose SoundLink Max Speaker is without a doubt incredible. If you are an audiophile like me, this is a must-have speaker. I have had many Bose products through the years and they never disappoint. This latest portable SoundLink Max has the word “Max” in its name for a reason. Setup Setup is simple, straightforward, and very intuitive. When I received the speaker, it was about halfway charged and took a few hours to charge up to full. Once charged up, pairing it to my iPhone was easy and I also paired it with a computer via Bluetooth. It retains the connection well and pairs right back up when you power it back on, provided the paired device is close enough. While not required, the Bose App gives you a lot of additional functionality and settings. I would highly recommend using the app to tweak your speaker to your ears’ liking. More on that below. Use I can’t say enough how incredible this little speaker is. The form factor is the perfect size for portability and it doesn’t weigh as much as you’d think given the amazing sound it produces. This speaker takes bass to the MAX – it will literally rattle your windows like a small earthquake if you turn the bass all the way up via the app. The sound is rich, full, and sounds like it is coming from a speaker 3-4 times the size of this little mini MAX. As I mentioned before, the app, while not required, should really be downloaded and utilized. It not only allows you to manage the EQ settings, but allows for Firmware/Software updates, registration/warranty support (if you ever need it), Battery life has been outstanding. I’ve been using this speaker often for nearly 5 days and I’m still at over 50 percent charged – very impressive. I currently have it placed in a bathroom (separate from the shower) for listening to music in the morning while showering. It’s sound is powerful enough even though it’s in a separate room. While you can control just about anything and everything from either the app or whatever device you connect via Bluetooth, my only wish is that this speaker came with a remote. I realize this is designed mainly to be a portable speaker, but I would be willing to pay a little more for a remote. I would highly recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a high quality, reasonably priced portable speaker with outstanding sound quality.

I was torn when i was in the market for a party speaker which one i should get. The Bose SoundLink Max or the JBLPartybox 110. I listeend to both speakers in Best Buy and decided the Bose sounded a lot better. Its smaller and more portable, but still packs a punch. The battery life lasts for an extended period of time and its water and dirt proof where i feel like i can take it anywhere. Woild 100 percent recommend this speaker to anyone.

This is the perfect speaker for on the go. We bring it to the beach, on the pontoon, outside during yard work, and throw it in the suitcase during travel, and never have to worry about it breaking. The case is very durable and waterproof. The sound is amazing for such a small speaker and even has decent bass. Another added perk; I also own a Bose Revolve speaker and the two can be paired for surround sound which sounds great.

I bought this speaker for work, I deliver in a noisy truck. The speaker is loud enough and the quality of the sound is remarkable. On top of all of that, it can handle a tumble, a splash, and dusty conditions.

Apparently Bose decided physic should take a day off it's loud without screaming bassy without sounding muddy

This is my second Bose speaker of this same model. It's not cheap, but the sound, battery life, and the fact that it's waterproof and the materials are of very good quality make up for it. So, I recommend it.

This little speaker thinks it’s a big dog. It has fantastic sound that will fill a room and does well in the shower. Be honest, you want this little waterproof guy for the shower. You won’t be disappointed. It even has a built in handle that will fit around a shower rod. It’s perfect!!

Waterproof. Great sound, great battery. Only thing I would change is making the strap a little more difficult to unhook. Great on a pack but I get nervous about the strap on my SUP. Still, definitely a happy customer here! I wear hearing aids so the crispness of this sound makes a huge difference especially at low volumes for me. The Bluetooth connectivity works great too.

This speaker can go anywhere; the sound for such a small size is unbelievable:made out of durable silicone; its waterproof, not water resistant; I put it in the bathroom which gets moist; works great; pair it to my cell phone to make & receive calls on speakerphone; up to 6 hours per charge; buy two for stereo; makes great gift for kids rooms. Highly recommend! You’ll love it

This speaker is the best speaker. Is compatible and very loud I love the texture and it has a very good batt life

This speaker is small, but packs a punch. It has great sound quality and great bass for its size. It is easy to connect to via Bluetooth and the battery will last all day while playing music. I use it on the golf cart quite frequently and the strap is durable and has a solid weld to whatever you attach it to. Overall this a great speaker for the price and size, would definitely recommend it!

I love this device. Sounds good and long battery. Very portable with the strap that is very strong.

I have purchased several portable speakers over the years and Bose has always been my preferred manufacturer. This little speaker has superb sound, its lightweight and waterproof. The battery keeps a good charge and is ready to go when I am. It’s syncs with ease and even has a voice notification as to which device you’re connected to. I would highly recommend this item for the music connoisseur.

The Bose speaker is fantastic—crisp sound, deep bass, sleek design, and long battery life. Easy Bluetooth connection and room-filling audio make it worth every penny.

This Bose is exactly what the specs said it was extremely loud but clear battery life great easy to connect Bluetooth waterproof can take anywhere dust proof can charge phones with it playing it’s just amazing perfect wireless speaker.

We have the larger Soundlink Mini II and wanted something to take to the beach that was small and durable and it also needed to sound good which this does. It’s amazing the sound that comes out of it and the battery last a long time. I have not found a better small/portable speaker and may buy some as gifts to give out - that’s how much I like it.

I have had nunerous brands and this speaker is by far the best. Has decent bass for its size, loud and clear. This speaker is built very well, can link another speaker to it . I am fixing to buy another one. I have a Bose Revolve, purchased in 2016 which now goes to my kids to use, its a great speaker also and turned me into a huge Bose fan.

I have Echo Dots in the house and wanted something similar for outdoors. This is about the same size and the music quality is a bit better so it works fine for that. The battery life, sound quality and volume is what I would expect for a speaker at this price range. The unexpected use is listening to the music on the iPhone when I'm using my pickup that only has a CD player. I'm not just stuck listening to the radio or carrying CDs around! My only concern is that the strap looks a bit fragile but I haven't tried using it so maybe it will be fine.

Perfect replacement for the aging stereo system on my sailboat. Can bring up top, listen down below, carry it to the beach, you name it. It gets very loud if you want it to do so. Does take a while to completely charge, and I don't think the battery lasts as long as advertised, but it is a solid piece of kit, and hope it gives me years of use.
