LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SPEAKER. BEST SOUND HOOKS UP FAST TO ALL BLUETOOTH. TAKE IT EVERYWHERE. YOU CONTROL VOLUME PAUSE AND PLAY FROM SPEAKER. REALLY LOUD LONG LAST CHARGING MICRO-USB CORD 2 FT LONG FOR CHARGING. BEST SPEAKER IN MY OPINION.

Bose SoundLink Max in Blue Dusk Bose has a new set of portable bluetooth speakers that it has named the SoundLink Max line There are 2 models available in blue or black colors. I am discussing the Dusk Blue model here but both have identical specifications Approximate sizing is 10.4 inches wide, 6.4 inches high and approximately 4.1 inches deep. The speakers have Bluetooth 5.3 The internal battery, per the Bose specifications on the website, should last up to 20 hours of usage on a charge at moderate volume levels. The specs say a battery charge lasts 3 hours at full volume. I did not test this water proof feature, but the speakers are also IP67 waterproof and dust-resistant. I don't normally mix water and electronics. Of good convenience is another set of features: The speaker has both an analog 3.5mm auxiliary input jack and a USB-C port; the USB-C is to both to charge the speaker and charge external devices such as phones, using the internal speaker battery, when circumstances require it. Of course, doing so will reduce the length the speaker will play music. It works to charge my phone. The sound quality is very robust, rich and filled with both strong bass and bright treble depending on how the Bose app is adjusted for a user’s preference. Let me state that it has quite some strong volume that will cause some of my less exuberant family members to loudly implore me to turn down the volume. It is very good! Bose has apps available for their Bose headphones and Bose portable speakers that likely are mostly used with mobile devices such as phones, tablets, Chromebooks, and other bluetooth portable music devices. Using that app allows setting the music tone quality (EQ equalizer settings). Really cool. The app is also compatible with Bose SimpleSync to enable a multi room audio environment. I did not test that since this is my only Bose Bluetooth speaker (for now). There is a feature that powers off the speaker if no sound is transmitted via bluetooth and no control buttons are used for 20 minutes. That time length is adjustable to hours or turned off via the app. A voice prompt announces the battery level every time the power is turned on, or when being used, if the power button is pushed and held. It also announces the device it is connected to via bluetooth. It can connect to 2 bluetooth sources at once and mine does announce my Samsung Android phone and my Gigabyte Windows PC when powered up. BTW: I have grown very much accustomed to using this with my laptop since the sound it produces is FAR superior to my internal tiny speakers as well as other computer speakers. Recommended with enthusiasm!

This speaker is loud. It doesn’t have its own volume, but it has volume buttons you can use on the speaker. The bass on the speaker is amazing! It works for everything. I’m going to buy a second one so that I can sync them up and have more sound. It’s extremely durable, easy to use, light weight, and it even hangs on stuff. I’ve used it while fishing, driving, watching shows on my laptop, and working on my vehicle. They also have a great app you can use as a remote, although it’s not beneficial if you’re playing stuff off your phone. I hesitated at buying it because it’s so small, but it’s definitely worth it!

This little BOSE speaker has a great kick to for it's portable size. It's price is a little hefty but I seem to get a lot of use out of it either when I'm biking and or hiking on nearby trails. The color is sleek compared to everything else I buy in black, it's a nice change. The sheer micro size makes it possible to fit in nearly any pocket, including your pants! The only real issue I had with it was it's price but your purchasing the house hold name. However, other then that I really do enjoy this portable speaker.

The sound quality out of this little speaker is right on par with the Bose brand name. It is small, lightweight, and very portable. There's a soft clip on the back that makes it easy to secure the speaker to my backpack or camping gear so it stays safe and out of the way. Seems like such a small thing, but I also really like the surface texture. It's smooth but not glossy (no part of this speaker feels like plastic), and the texture makes it much less likely to slip on surfaces. Overall a great buy for the price, and I'm really happy with this purchase.

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!!

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

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.

Awesome product ; quality construction; sound, portability ; efficient link to multiple devices ; long battery life; all these at cheap price vs competition with other manufacturers products.

Sound is great! We went from a revolve to this and the sound is so much better. It lasts all day as long as you dont have it at max volume. I usually do not turn it up past 80%. At full volume it is very loud and the sound is still very clear but I feel that full volume is a bit loud.

Great sound and portability. bonus its waterproor

I Love, Love, Love this speaker...Bose knows how to make it's products sound incredible...I bought this because I needed something light weight to use at work, this speaker is perfect...It's loud, the sound is clear, it provides me with what I need..Has a strap, I hook it on my apron...the battery life is Strong, I use it off and on all day at work between 10 & 12 hours...since I strap the speaker on my shoulder I only need the volume at half or less, that holds the battery life longer...

This speaker is so awesome. Sounds great and so portable and versatile. I have one I take on all my walks and my husband has one as well to listen to his sports talk radio

I've been a big fan of Bose Speakers for +30 years and owned various Bose products ..... This speaker is one of the best ....... small and light but the sound is "HEAVY" ..... Awesome bass, easy & fast link to my phone, computers, tablets. Great to bring for travel and outdoor ... I'm so in love with this speaker, I'm waiting for another purchase when it goes on sale, if not I can use my BB Rewards points

The sound quality on this speaker is phenomenal for its size. It can connect to two devices at a time and you can easily switch between them. It will automatically disconnect when it hasn’t been used for awhile to conserve battery power but it’s easy to reconnect. You can turn off the voice prompts that say “connected to —-iPhone “ in the app. Then you just hear a subtle click when you’re connected. I highly recommend this speaker. I’ve wanted a Bose for years and this is affordable. What a difference! I even bought one for a friend and dance partner, so we have great sound wherever we go.

I would highly recommend this little Bose speaker, great for a beach/pool day, hiking, or just hanging out around the house. Great sound quality and easy to use. Only negative for me is that the charging port is micro usb in 2025. Was really hoping for usb-c which has become the standard. However battery life is good and I haven’t ever run out of power when out using the speaker!

This speaker was such a good purchase! Easy to use, sounds amazing and great for travel. The charge lasts with continuous play and does not drain down quickly like others I've had. I would recommend purchasing this is you are in the market.

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

My fave speaker I've ever owned. I love the design and color. The bass is phenomenal! It has a very long battery life and you can charge your phone on it! It's definitely worth the cost. Highly recommend!

very good speaker with amazing base and powerful sound. Like the style and the carrying handle and the optional shortcut key. Good quality with nothing less expected from bose. The speaker is as powerful as a sound bar. My only complain is the option to connect it to WiFi so it can play even without connected to the phone but still doesn't make it any less than 5 stars.
