Bose SoundLink Max Portable Speaker with Large Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker, Up to 20 Hours Battery Life, USB-C, Built-in 3.5mm AUX Input, Black

I am an electronic and gadget freak. I like to try new products and I am always excited when something comes out that gets a lot of buzz. Bose has been around a long time and either like them or you don’t. I always questioned the price to value ratio of there products. One thing I can say everything they make is built to last and it’s always quality. Quality materials and a good customer experience. I owned Bose acoustimass back in the day and upgraded to a full system with 301’s and I loved that system. Great full sounds, clarity and bass. I got away from Bose as I got older because the prices were just too extreme for my budget. I have purchased many Bluetooth speakers from JBL, Soundcore, and Harmon Kardon. They all bring something great to the table. Now I saw the new Bose Soundlink max for $100 off during the holidays and I made the purchase. I love this speaker. It’s my go to when I want something to carry around while doing work around the house or just sitting down with a cocktail. This little speaker sounds full and defies its size. Bluetooth connectivity is quick and responsive. I got the black and I bought a third party case to protect it when I’m outside and it looks great. Battery life around 40% volume I got just past the 20 hour mark as advertised. Kick up the volume you’ll obviously get less. If you get down to 20% battery it takes about 4 hours to charge. The buttons are soft and tactile. You have your power button, multi function button you can program, Bluetooth button, volume up and down and track forward and back/pause. Minimalist lighting which I like. When I use this in the bedroom it doesn’t light up the room. I have yet to try snapdragon sound as I don’t use android. The sound I get through Apple Music lossless sounds great. Good clarity size defying bass and great mids. Full sounding and it makes me smile every time I turn this thing on. There’s an app with eq and everything you need to tailor your sound. Bose should take the route Soundcore does and have more eq settings but what’s here works. I love this speaker and it’s my go to amongst all my toys. At $299 highly recommended at $399 still worth it but it’s Bose it’s a luxury purchase. Totally worth it!! Tried so many Bluetooth speakers and this is the best all rounder for music lovers. If you’re on the fence.. go for it! There are louder speakers out there but they don’t have the sound quality this one has.

Worth every penny

I bought this speaker about a year ago as an upgrade for my old Bose speaker. After using it every day, I can honestly say I love this speaker! With anything though, it does have its pros and cons. Pros: - great sound - bluetooth connects quickly - can charge your phone from the speaker - can use the Bose app to customize the sound - water resistant Cons: - battery does not last very long when the speaker is playing at its loudest volume (usually 1 full day playing at its loudest volume) - charges slowly (~5-6 hours) Overall, it’s a great speaker and I recommend it. I mainly use mine in my house, so the battery and charging doesn’t bother me. However, if you’re looking for something that will last days without being charged, this may not be the speaker for you.

La tecnología Bose en este modelo te permite disfrutar tu música con gran calidad de audio!, es capaz de inundar tu espacio con las frecuencias bajas, medias y altas, a pesar de que subes todo el volumen, no se rompen las notas. Además puedes hacer uso de su ecualizador para que las frecuencias salgan parejas. Es un poco costoso pero vale cada centavo !!

This portable Bose speaker is everything I was looking for—compact, powerful, and crystal clear. The sound quality is exceptional, with rich bass and crisp highs, even at higher volumes. It’s super easy to connect via Bluetooth, and the battery life lasts all day, making it perfect for beach days, backyard hangouts, or just listening around the house. The build is sleek and sturdy, and it's surprisingly durable for such a stylish speaker. Whether you're using it indoors or on the go, this speaker delivers consistent, high-quality sound. Highly recommend if you're looking for premium sound in a portable size!
