    Bose Soundlink Max Bluetooth Speaker

    My parents had a Bose Wave radio “back in the day” and I remember how that device had the ability to make music seem more lifelike and male radio announcers seemed larger than life. I am happy to tell you that this Soundlink Max is even better than my memories. It delivers an EPIC, full, rich sound in an attractive and highly portable package. And you can take it anywhere, because it has an IP67 rated enclosure which means it’s safe from water splashes and dust infiltration. From the manufacturer’s website: “SoundLink Max is IP67 rated, indicating it has passed rigorous testing conditions proving it will withstand an accidental drop into water up to approximately 3 feet (1 meter) deep for up to 30 minutes, or getting exposed to a dust storm. However, while SoundLink Max is protected against accidental exposures to water and dust, is not designed for playback when wet. All of SoundLink Max’s components, including the USB-C charging and AUX ports, transducers, and passive radiators, are built with rugged, waterproof materials. These components are sealed tightly in the speaker’s housing, keeping out water and dust.” They did mention to leave it off and allow it to dry if it gets wet. Now, you might not need to take your Max out in a dust storm, but you could! Or at least know you can get it a little dirty and still rock the party after a day of dusty off roading. I picked this model specifically because of the Bose reputation and the COLOR! It’s really a good looking speaker, it happens to be my wife’s favorite color which explains why she took it. That, and it matches her new roller skates. Lol So now it plays her favorite skate jams on a loop. I need to mention the handle. It’s removable, just a quarter turn anti-clockwise on each stanchion and it pulls off. You could leave it off if you don’t use it but that leaves two openings in the top of the speaker or you could buy a longer shoulder strap that they offer for it. Maybe Bose should offer flush plugs for the people that don’t use a handle? I only have one complaint. It’s the volume control. On my iPhone, when I tap the volume one click louder or softer, it’s either a little too loud or a little too quiet. If I use the +/- buttons on the device I get a slightly finer adjustment, but if I use the Bose app, I get a much finer adjustment and can get it exactly where I want it. Speaking of the app, it’s pretty basic but it works for me without an issue. I tweaked the EQ to my liking and I use it to fine tune the volume like I mentioned above. The device has passive radiators on each end and to be honest, the sound quality if you’re not standing directly in front of it is still pretty good. You lose a little of the highs if it’s facing away from you as you would expect . If you have to set it in the middle of a room for a party there’s an easy fix. Just place it facing up on the table and you’re good to go. Definitely recommend this as a buy, just don’t pick a color that your wife loves more than you! LOL!

      I'm very happy to hear that the Bose sound coming from the Soundlink Max speaker is even better than your memories, Stephen! As you mentioned, the speaker is designed for use both indoors and on the go, thanks to its "IP67" dust and water resistance rating.

      You mentioned that adjusting the volume on your iPhone makes the speaker's volume either a little too loud or a little too quiet. This can indeed happen when using the volume button on your phone, but this is not restricted to the SoundLink Max speaker alone. In such cases, just try the +/- buttons on the speaker itself, or use the Bose app as you suggested, in order to make even finer adjustments and set the volume just where you want it.

      Warm regards

    This little thing produces great sound for its size. Doesn't last as long as the specs describe, but not bad. Connected two of them and sadly the stereo sound does not play as loud as a single speaker. Switch to party mode and the two speakers get very loud, but no stereo. Therefore, 4 stars.

    I like the sound quality this speaker provides but it is a bit limited as far as the volume. Expected a bit more than other compact speakers but it isn't there. I am also not impressed with the app that is required to connect. Bluetooth is there for a reason.
