Works great. The sound is really good and love the color options. Easy to connect Bluetooth.

Wow! What a powerful bluetooth speaker! Amazing bass and long lasting battery. Beautiful sound. Perfect size for travelling. Not too heavy. Cant go wrong with a Bose. Best speakers always! By the way, really waterproof. A friend has one of these and it dropped on their hottub without anybody noticing. One week later when they got again in the hottub found it at bottom of the hottub. They turned it on and it worked perfectly as if nothing happened. Amd many months after this incident it still works fine. So they are waterproof for real. Buy it! You won't regret it. Very happy with my purchase.

Tons of sound coming from this little speaker! I own several Bose products, including 3 Bose Soundlink Mini speakers... this speaker comes very close to them in sound and build. BTW, the app allows for Party or Stereo mode when connecting a pair. A nice feature. Packaging and set-up: Packaging is Bose standard: quality and careful packaging. Once unpacked, the speaker includes instructions, warrant info, as well as a USB cable and power adapter. The setup is easy: connect via Bluetooth to your device and install the Bose Connect application. Be sure to install all updates as needed in order to keep the unit compatible with other devices (and sometimes add new & exciting features). Build and sound: The build is great! Heavy enough to let you know that it's well crafted, yet light enough for portability. The silicon coating and waterproof design makes it durable and worry-free. The sound is amazing for such a small speaker. It's loud and maintains a good tonal balance. A lot of research and development went into this product. The silicon strap allows for easy mounting on bags, bikes, belts or even cabinet handles.... very versatile placement. (I’ve include pictures for reference). Final conclusion: This is definitely worth acquiring if you need a great portable speaker for hiking, biking or just for use around the pool. Moisture resistant, so no worries. The price is reasonable, especially considering the quality. Bose recently released several amazing products, so take a listen. This is a company that has evolved so much over the past few years, and all for the better! I look forward to seeing what’s in store for the future.

This is Exactly what I wanted from Bose, a water resistant speaker and tough enough to handle extream situations, I'm currently deployed in Afghanistan and this speaker is loud enough with perfect bass for its size, the sound quality is unmatched to the JBL flip 3 I have, though the JBL is louder but does not that the quality or bass I wanted. You get what you pay for with Bose products, now mind you this is a tiny speaker so don't think you are gonna get the sound like the Soundlink Mini, it's a bigger speaker thus bigger sound. But if your looking for light weight and durable to carry into any situations, this is the speaker for you. I highly recommend this product for any Bose fan

I bought this to replace my Bose Mini SoundLink 1. That speaker served me for 11 years! College parties, beach trips, kayaking, camping, work, grilling, sad boy hours. You name it, that speaker played its little heart out. It became an icon in the friend group. While many have had 4-6 speakers over the years, I've had just the one. I unfortunately dunked it in water while on the river. The battery was beginning to fail anyway, but that deemed to be too much for my Mini. It still played for a few hours after that, but its final song was Great Expectations by Day Wave on 07/04/2024. It played all the way through and turned off for its last time. I put that speaker though things it was never built to do, and it just kept going. I bought the Max because it IS built to withstand my lifestyle, and Bose as a portable speaker has won me over. I will forever buy Bose, and this speaker.. I mean wow! What a sound! The battery life is incredible, the tone and bass is amazing! truly one of the best sounding Bluetooth speakers I've heard for its size. To be fair it's a little too soon to tell, but if this is anything like my Mini SoundLink 1, (and this can withstand the river) I will be playing music out of it for many years to come, and I believe this too will become the next icon amongst friends and family. I have already enjoyed many hours from the new Bose Max.

BOSE is a great brand, good products and good app. Thank you

Best little speaker you can get.It’s small and compact easily transportable the bass on it gives my movies /music that extra kick .Since it’s encased with the silicon it’s durable and water resistant.Connects via Bluetooth instantly.I also connect it to my laptop which has a crappy speaker and now the audio is clear and vibrant.Charges fast and has a strap to attach it to something if you choose to carry it around.

We bought this to use on our bike commute. Rubber strap with clasp is easy to put on and take off bike handlebars, and stays in place even on rough pavement/trails. Controls are also very user-friendly while biking / in motion. Produces very clear sound even at top value. Plenty loud- you can feel the bass vibrations though the handlebar. But doesn't turn up so loud to prevent you (or your kids) from still monitoring the surrounding traffic noise for safety. No known damage to the speaker so far from using it while riding in the rain. Connects to bluetooth on my iPhone quickly and consistently (not all bluetooth speakers are good at connecting to the input device). Battery life seems pretty robust. Haven't used it for a phone call yet, so can't say if the mic is any good. I try to avoid talking on the phone while biking, since that's much more distracting than just listening to music.

Best sound!!! My husband does construction and speakers get really dirty. It is so easy to clean and it looks like brand new after wiping it off with a damp cloth. It connects fast, the color is beautiful. It is easy to carry. Very stylish!!! It was a great purchase. My husbands does not leave the house without it. It is amazing how a such small thing can sound so loud and clear.

Was looking for a new speaker with a longer charge life that was water proof/resistant so I can listen to music while showering and getting ready. Have a Bose Sound Link Mini that I love but got tired of carrying from one level of the house to another. Did some searching and found this little guy. Was worried about the sound quality because it's so small but went to BB and they had one on display and the sound was amazing. It's very loud and the sound quality is as good as any other Bose speaker. They were also on sale, so it was meant to be. There's a secure strap on the back so you can take it anywhere (bike, back pack, etc...) and I can hang it from a hook in the shower. It's on the far side from the shower head and high up so it doesn't get submerged but so far so good from the moisture. I believe it is actually submersible but probably not going to test that on purpose. But it's nice to know it's probably protected from water. It's small, sleek, light weight, super easy to pair with the app and has a great battery life and there's no better sound quality out there.

The sound quality is exceptional with clear audio and strong bass. Battery life is impressive and easily lasts through long listening sessions. Pairing was quick and easy right out of the box. The build quality feels solid and durable, and the carrying handle is comfortable and ergonomic, making it easy to take on the go. The color looks great as well. Highly recommend this speaker.

The sound quality exceeded my expectations. I was impressed that I could hear every note of each song clearly as this little speaker’s sound effortlessly filled the room and beyond. It was easy to use of course, equipped with a few controls on the device to power on/off, adjust volume, play/pause and connect to Bluetooth - it has all the function I need. My fiancé loves the size and how conveniently it travels with us, awesome for on the go and because it’s waterproof it can go anywhere. The small size is definitely something she would feel more comfortable toting than a larger speaker. If she likes it, it’s a win!

Great sounds! deep base but expensive!! compared it to my soundcore motion boom plus and tbh its actually louder than this soundlink max!.. yes go on youtube and see reviews but all are done with in 2 feet distance. i placed both speakers against the wall in my garage and walked away about 20 ft. had the volume set the same on both and the montion boom plus was way louder!. will i keep the Bose yes.. only because i was able to price match and had some rearwards points. if it wasn't for the savings i would of returned this speaker the next day and stick with my soundcore speaker. buy it and try the distance review..

Very good sound with good bass with equalizer settings in the Bose app. This model is stereo, while the Flex is mono. Worth the cost, instead of buying two Flex models, I got this on sale. Bluetooth easily pairs with my phone and Google TV (Chromecast).

Love the BOSE portable bluetooth speaker. The battery lasts a long time after it has been charged. It is light weight too and easy to move around to various locations. Great sound!

Great sound for the size. I connect them with another one or with a bigger bose speaker. Makes for great sound and spread for a bigger area. Especially use this at the beach. Just attach to an umbrella or anything that works. I use this riding my bike. Just put it on the handle bars. Not only great sound for the size but tue battery lasts a long time. The fact that its water proof and dust proof is amazing. I use at the beach, it gets sand on it and just knock it off. I even forgot it outside in the rain overnight once and it was perfectly fine. Stong durable speaker made for life and adventures!

I was honestly surprised when I heard this speaker the first time around. Sure, it may just be one speaker but the passive radiators in this little guy make the bass so much boomier and punchier than you'd expect for a speaker this small. Now, don't get it twisted, this isn't gonna beat the bass of even something like a JBL Flip 5 that has a larger driver, but if you've got $100 and you need a speaker for a small room or for moving on the go, it doesn't get much better than this. The built in strap makes it perfect for attaching to bikes and other things and it holds on pretty well. It's pretty waterproof but I'd be careful around the charging port since it doesn't have a cover and is just exposed 24/7 but beyond that, it's a solid little speaker.

I've had this for over a year and love love love it.. the sound is epic coming out of this tiny device.. one time my home theater system stopped working so I used this and couldn't tell the difference! No problems connecting to the bose app for battery intel... the battery life after a year hasn't phased at all! If I were you and thinking if getting this ..well don't hesitate its totally worth the buy.... its great for road trips, artist adventures to take with you when you want to zen out an draw and listen to music, perfect to listen to the game when out walking, even great for using while you are cooking.. you name it.. Im thinking of getting a larger one for my home theater.. but would recommend this over everything else!

This is my first Bose purchase ever! After contemplating for 5 years on a portable speaker, I chose to go with a Bose based on my mother’s recommendation and a friend who has a Bose surround sound system for his TV. They have spoken good things about Bose. I chose this one also because it was on sale during Black Friday. When I connected my phone to this thing, I was completely shocked and amazed at the sound quality. Its pretty loud too…. in my opinion. I am someone who likes a lot of base in some of my music and for a portable speaker, this was a pleasing a sound. The base is pretty good. I do recommend. Try it when it goes on sale again if you dont want to pay full price.

Best bass speaker for it's size. Look is elegant. Sound is amazing as it is bose. A surprise factor is the bass. The amount of bass if gives for its size is sufficient for indoors. Definitely a best buy.
