Customer Ratings & Reviews

Compact. Mostly reliable. Sometimes volume doesn’t cooperate.

Got this as a gift for my husband- he loves it. Great sound, crisp & clear. Good product for the price

The sound is AMAZING! For a small speaker and compact design, it produces so much sound and bass as well!

Really like this speaker. Outstanding sound quality with bass. No slip surface to help hang on to. Connected effortlessly to my Iphone. Highly recommend this!

It is a totally awesome speaker the sound and bass for this little of a speaker is awesome and to top it off it's water proof.

Great sound quality for such a small speaker. The Bass comes through clear and the music does not get distorted.

I would highly recommend this speaker. My phone doesn't have a great speaker. I connect my speaker to my phone and I'm able to listen to music or even talk on the phone with the volume set higher. A satisfied customer!

Nice sound. Battery life not that long; but I play it loud. Lasts a lot longer if the volume is lower.

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.

Love how portable the speaker is and the sound, hard to believe the quality of sound that comes out of that tiny speaker. Also, love the color scheme.

Love this little sucker. You can even hang it on somthing. Great sound. Super convenient. Easy to travel with.

This speaker has done a great job by the pool. It is loud and sounds great and does well being splashed out and picked up with wet hands. Would recommend!

Got this for a beach trip. Now we use it all over the house! Great quality sound, as expected. No issues with battery life, and easy pairing!

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

I love this product so much, I gave it as a gift. I later ordered the carrying case for it.

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