Customer Ratings & Reviews

Very easy to pair to Bluetooth devices. Great sound! Don’t use it for the mic, usually just playing music or video sound.

I have always considered Bose speakers to be deceptively good. They aren't the most configurable so I've read past reviews from audiophiles being somewhat critical that they couldn't make the speakers meet their subjective tastes. I appreciate good sound but am not that user. Bose is designed for easy use and solid sound. This Soundlink Max speaker is really a treat. It's styled after a small boom box. It's only a speaker, via Bluetooth or aux port, but sits like a fun stereo. The grills for the drivers are all hard so no worry of tearing. The edge of the box is rubberized which is fine, but I could see it potentially being sticky as it ages, but I could be mistaken. The handle is comfortable and soft and is connected with braided nylon like rope which is a fun touch. The companion app is free and the Google play store and Apple app store both have it. It was easy and smooth to connect the speaker to both an android phone and an iPhone. The Bose app allows for a multi connection setup so transfer of music was seamless between the devices. There is a three band equalizer in the app too and my tweaking of it did produce detectable changes to the sound but it was not extremely customizable. This would be where someone might ding it, but I was able to tweak it to my liking. Overall the sound is true to Bose' reputation, full, bass rich, the lows, mids and highs all feel substantial, and the sound is not sacrificing tone for power. Considering the size of this device, I'm really surprised by the volume. It totally punches above its size and while it's not the cheapest Bluetooth speaker, it is clearly a high end speaker. I would say there is a place for cheaper options, but if you want a weather resistant, high end sound, this Soundlink Max by Bose is worth the price.

This small speaker packs a punch. Bought this for my kid and the sound is amazing for such a small speaker. But then again, it is a Bose.

I love this amazing product from Bose, I owned one for a year, I have not had any issues, the sound is amazing for a speaker of that size.

Love this litter speaker! Take it riding, camping, hiking, in the shower. Super great. Just wished it floated...

The Bose SoundLink Micro is an awesome little speaker. Its size is small and makes it great for travel. Even though it is small, it still has smooth, clear sound and bass. Connecting to it is easy; you can use the Bose Connect app or just go into Bluetooth settings on your phone. If you do use the Bose Connect app, you can use Party Mode and connect two SoundLink devices together to get whole room sound. Build quality seem great and I like that it is waterproof. Battery life has also been great and has lasted me longer then what is advertised. This speaker is awesome and Bose has done another great job.

Bought this to take on vacation. Worked great. Easy to set up ... easy to use ... liked the bright color, no chance of leaving it lay.

I bought this for my brother for his birthday. He loved it. Great product with great quality.

Got this for my mother in law because i have one and its great sound quality and projects great sound for a hangout.

An amazing product to purchase from bose. Its great speaker. Definitely ine of the best brands

Very poor customer service. Products are of low quality in relation to the price.

simple and easy to use right out of the box! The price speaks for its self as a great value for the size and product.

Easy to setup. Connected with no problem. Charged quickly. The speaker completely satisfied my expectation at a reasonable price.

Great sound! Needs to have a full charger that comes with it though.

Feels like good build quality. Super easy to setup and sounds great.

I was given this speaker as a Christmas gift last year and ended up buying it as a birthday gift for my brother.

I hang it in my golf bag when I’m at the driving range or playing golf. Works well and sounds good. Can’t beat it for sale price of $79.00.

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 love it! Small but powerful. Sleek design and easily fits in my bag

I love my speakers, they sound great and are very easy to use. I was happy to get a third one for Christmas gift when they went on sale!
