Customer Ratings & Reviews

Overall, better than I expected. This small speaker packs quite a punch in volume and bass. I really love the handle and how portable it is. It suits my needs perfectly.

The SoundLink Max delivers excellent sound quality (which BOSE is known for!) The speaker measures in at 10.5” x 5” x 4” which makes it very portable. The first thing I noticed was the building quality. It has a little heft, which I love, and the rope handle is a nice touch. The sound quality is amazing, which is nice is such a small package. Too many times, I have used bluetooth portable speakers, and the sound quality negates portability. The bass was not too much, and the mids sounded great. I am a big classical fan, and this speaker manages to perform well in the genre. For battery, we are looking at 20 hours at moderate volume. I was able to use the device for around 5 hours, low volume, and the device was still at 100%, which was crazy. I believe if you keep the device at a decent to low volume, you could possibly see better battery life in terms of hours. There is also a USB-C port you can use to charge a phone, which is a neat feature to have. You can never have enough ways to charge handy. Overall, this is a well-designed, excellent performing Bluetooth speak. This will be a daily driver for me and my family as the portablity and sound, along with excellent battery life make this a must have for us.

The Bose SoundLink Max Portable Bluetooth Speaker is an impressive piece of audio engineering and the Blue Dusk color is a nice touch too! The speaker is quite lightweight relative to the extremely impressive audio quality that it delivers. The deep base is stereo sound is really quite impressive and it will keep delivering such impressive audio for nearly 20 hours according to Bose on a single charge. When you're not charging the speaker, you can even use it to charge your phone! The speaker is charged by a USB-C charger (included). It has an IP67 Water and Dust resistance rating and so it's ready to go on your next adventure wherever that may take you. It weighs in at 4.7lbs and measures 4.73" H x 10.42" W x 4.13" D. It's definitely a companion you'll want with you wherever you're going. The handle at the top is detachable should you want to remove it. Setup was exceptionally easy using the Bose app on iOS. The app is also available on the Google Play store for those with an Android based phone or tablet. You can easily connect to the speaker using the app, Bluetooth or the Aux connection. I would definitely recommend this speaker to anyone looking for a speaker to take on the road with them!

This Bose Bluetooth speaker system is awesome. The sound is pure and the Bass is kicking. It sounds great and you can take it anywhere. My wife took it away from me so I guess I’ll be buying another one!

Great little speaker. Has a deep base for its size without compromising the midrange and highs. It’s also nice that you can adjust the sounds with the equalizer in the Bose app. I would highly recommend this speaker.

Not my first bose product purchased, that is why I go back to this original brand. It i a great portable speaker sound it clear

Sound quality is great. Very durable. Battery life is excellent. Extremely happy with this purchase!

Full sound in a variety of settings and awesome battery life. This unit has worked great in hotel rooms when travelling, and did a great job at the beach. I like how light weight it is also. Easy to carry to the beach and back, easy to fit ina backpack.

Very good sound Heavy bass Perfect battery life I liked it

What can I say Its a "BOSE"!! User friendly easy sync, Sound is above all the greatest from something this size. Long lasting battery and speaks to you on battery level on start up. I am sure there are a lot more features to cover but at this point I don't need any more until I purchase another to sync together.. Great Buy!

Sound is great and love the color and i like that i could use it for a whole day not charged.

I love it. The sound quality on this speaker is great. I use this in a conference room with a mixer to play music and microphones on it. PA system on a budget. And it works great! Totally recommend this. Battery lasts for hours, and the quality of it is great too. No complains at all. No issues with connectivity.

Love it better than the JBL 6. HAndle is also a lot more durable and sound is crisp with that great bass to compliement it

Very clear and wonderful sound, even if is at high level it doesn’t bother your ears. Just love it!! Battery last very long time.

I recently purchased the Bose Soundlink Max speaker, and I must say, it has exceeded my expectations in every way. Despite its compact size, the sound quality is impressively powerful. The clarity is remarkable, making it perfect for any genre of music. The bass remains deep and rich, even at low volumes, which is ideal for quiet listening sessions. Portability is another major plus. Its small size makes it easy to carry around the house, so you can enjoy great sound in any room. The Bluetooth connection is stable and quick to set up, with no perceptible lag in sound, ensuring a seamless listening experience. Additionally, the accompanying app is very functional. It allows for easy adjustments in the EQ, so you can tailor the sound to your preference with minimal hassle. Overall, the Bose Soundlink Max is a fantastic speaker that delivers excellent sound quality and convenience. Highly recommended!

Heard it in the store and thought it was a display hoax. Left the store purchasing an "Epic" speaker from another "Mega" brand, which I've purchased from before, and love. Needless to say, I returned it to the store the next day, spent the additional $100 for the Bose Max and I'm still blown away with the sound quality for such a small speaker. The app has some connection issues with my Android phone, but I'm confident since it's so new that those bugs will get worked out. Would be nice if the app gave a power on/off option, but again, I feel that'll be in future.

I've been a Bose Head for about 15years now and I've owned their headphones, earbuds, speakers and home theater systems. This Bose speaker may be the best speaker that I've owned. Ive had jbl, HK, and beats and none of the 3 perform the way this Bose speaker does. Easy to pair up with your phones (apple/android). No distortion. Battery life is great. I use it about 3 hrs full blast at work for about 4 days before i need to fully charge it again. I got the yellow one. Gotten plenty of compliments on its look and how loud it is for its size. The only negative thing I got for it is how easy the speaker attracts dust/dirt. It can get reallt dirty fast.
