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

Grear compact portable speaker. I got the yellow colour and both in terms of looks and sound this speaker is a winner. The cherry on the cake was i got this for 31,000 on amazon sale day with card offers. Very good sound performance be it a small room or a large room, the sound is crisp and clear even at high volumes. Battery backup is decent. Also a must use are the equalizer settings on the bose app to bring out the best from this speaker. Its a compact built but by no means small. Built quality is solid 10 on 10. If you have the budget and are thinking between sony ult field 7, marhsall killburn 3, jbl partybox or this one go for this one if sound quality and listening to music is your priority. Yes you can crank up the volume and bass in for a party and dancing but this would not give u the effect of a jbl party box. This is not a speaker for bass heads. Also one thing that is assured with bose products is the longeveity. I have owned a gen one bose soundlink bought in 2015, another bose sound link micro gen 1 purchased in 2019 and a sound link flex gen 1 bought in 2022. All three even today work like new only the battery backup time has dropped. So with bose you have that comfort of longeveity as opposed to other brands. Also looks wise it is user oriented. Some may love its sophisticated minimalistic look while others may feel its too drab. But bose is known for minimal looks and on that front it does very well. If you want to spice things up buy the yellow colour it will immediately draw eyeballs..

I was specifically looking for a single wireless speaker with true built-in stereo sound, rather than having to buy and pair two mono speakers, which severely limited my options. As my first Bose product, I bought this simply hoping it would fulfill that stereo requirement. Boy, did I underestimate this thing! The sound is incredible. It pushes so much power and air that I honestly worry about disturbing my neighbors. The audio is deep, rich, and completely fills the room, it feels like a portable surround sound system. Bluetooth connectivity is flawless. It pairs instantly, stays rock-solid without dropouts, and delivers crystal-clear, high-quality audio. The battery life is equally impressive: even with heavy daily use watching movies, I only need to charge it once a week. For the price and compact size, nothing else on the market compares. You really have to experience this speaker to believe it. Highly recommended!

Awasome sound with clear vocal and good bass.It is portable easily carry with a small back pack little bit heavy. Battery backup excellent

In the 90's I always wanted to have a small tape recorder/ two-in-one for playing my music. But those lacked bass. That dream has come true with this Bose Soundlink Max. This thing is better than bookshelf speakers at moderate volumes. Can go down to 45 -50 Hz. Recreates fantastic bass and rumble at just audible volumes which is a huge advantage in our noisy world - there will be no listening fatigue while enjoying deep rumbling bass. No other speaker system does this - not even my KEF bookshelf speakers paired with a Marantz amp because once the volume goes low, the bass also reduces and becomes insignificant unless I keep manually increasing bass when lowering volume, which is unmanageable. The treble is clear and the entire frequency range is very well balanced, can hardly offend anyone at any volume unless someone dislikes bass very much. Looks are also very mature and polished. It is one solid unit and does not have silly bass radiators flapping around on the sides like most other speakers do. There are alternatives from Marshall, JBL, Sony, Tribit, but most of them try to put real woofers and tweeters and bass ports into a small form factor which is never as good as actually working on a non conventional approach with DSP. For the same size the Bose can't be beaten, with larger size some of the other speakers go louder but not as good sounding. Unless the use case is only party outside, the Bose Soundlink Max is likely the best option out there.

Battery life is good holding 10-15 hours with around 60-70 percent volume. Fast boot and shutdown. Ease to pair. Can adjust through Bose app. The cover shows made for apple, still works well with android.

One of the best buy this year. This was in my radar for some time and got the opportunity to grab this now. There are no wifi or voice assistant support, but bluetooth connection is fast and is stable. Think this one is best suited for r n b, pop etc since mid range is not that clear. This is only when compared to Marshall Kilburn 2 which I tried listening to. On its own, it's pretty clear. I normally hear classic rock, blues rock, Indian regional melodies etc. Even though these are mid range forward genre, my use case is such that I need deep bass in low volumes. If your ultimate priority is clear mid range and vocals forward songs, Kilburn will be better. Since my priority is deeper bass at lower volume, I chose this even with less vocal clarity than Kilburn and this completely satisfies me. We can feel the rich bass at low volumes considering the size of the speaker. For vocal forward ones, need a bit of tweaking with the lower frequency eq, but that completely solves the problem. Tried hearing JBL xtreme 5 as well. If you are into high volumes and partying, xtreme 5 can effortlessly handle. Bose also can get pretty loud without distortion, but Xtreme 5 will be better for that I think. But for the richness of sound, both can't match the soundlink max for my ears. With music playing, we can say without seeing the speaker that it is coming from some ultra good piece. Even though Kilburn kills soundlink in terms of clarity, the ultra warm sound signature is the highlight here. Not sure if this is value for money (reduced a star only because of that), but if you are okay spending for that smooth rich bass and clarity of sound in a compact form factor, surely can consider this.

This beast is amazing on all parameters. Rumbling base and clear vocals at all volume levels. I was amazed to notice that even at 10% volume the base is equally rich and thumping. This is my first Bose product.

Am loving it.

Excellent quality. Great sound. Long battery life.

Bardzo dobry dźwięk z możliwością korekcji pod indywidualne gusta. Akumulator trzyma naprawdę długo. Jedyny minus to brak fizycznego wskaźnika poziomu baterii (tylko z poziomu aplikacji). Przydałoby się także strumieniowanie przez wi-fi ale konkurencja w tym przedziale cenowym także go nie ma. Głośnik jest dość ciężki (ponad 2 kg), co przekłada się na jakość ale skutkuje mniejszą mobilnością. Jeżeli planujesz używać głośnika głównie poza domem / w podróży to lepszym wyborem będzie mniejszy model. Ogólnie jestem bardzo zadowolony.

Amazing base, great speaker

Quel qualité vraiment le top un produit qui offre un son parfait

The best possible sound expected. It’s psycho-acoustic tuning is superb. Sounds like mini home theatre. I pushed the speaker to the absolute limit. No distortion and clean bass. Worth it!!!, I’m buying one more.
