    • Jumped on a price drop to get a really high quality sound in a high quality package!
Color: Blue Dusk
Review Image by Noelle Tiongson Noelle Tiongson
The sound on this thing is so clear and nice even on stock settings. I did a lot of internet searching to find the unit I wanted. I really like the warm Bose sound without overdoing it on bass (I am not always in a party). The unit is well made and high quality. The cost at list price is very high, but catch a sale (like I did) and jump on it fast! Pairing is multi-pairing and can connect to your phone and computer at the same time. EQ adjustments if you need or want to, are through a phone app only. It does require more juice to charge, so it does come with its own charger and USB-C cable. the Blue Dusk color is aesthetically pleasing and glad to have a non-black speaker in my home. In addition to bluetooth, it has Aux plug in capability, which I will still need to try. The volume easily fills up a room at less than 50% strength. For use around the home this is perfect! I was thinking between this and the Soundlink Flex and I am glad to have this richer sound. I think you do get what you pay for. ... show more

    • It brings the bass
Color: Black
As a long-time owner of the first-generation Bose SoundLink Mini, I had high expectations for the Bose SoundLink Max, and it did not disappoint. This review covers various aspects of the speaker, including sound quality, durability, ease of use, compatibility, setup, and design. The SoundLink Max lives up to the Bose name. After testing it with a myriad of musical genres, I was blown away by the fullness of the sound. The bass is so powerful that you can feel it, yet it does not drown out the mid and treble frequencies. It is worth noting that the initial EQ settings are flat, which might be why some users have complained about the lack of fullness. This could be addressed by repurposing the shortcut button for quick EQ adjustment. The SoundLink Max meets the IP67 standards, making it rugged, dustproof, and waterproof. Weighing nearly five pounds, it is heavy, but this is an acceptable trade-off for the durability it offers. In a pinch, you could even use it as a brick or a weapon for defending yourself from zombies! Using the SoundLink Max is straightforward. Press the power button, then play to start enjoying your music. When it’s time to change settings, the buttons are clearly labeled. The Max charges via a supplied USB-C cord and power block and can also serve as a portable power device. This is my main point of contention and it is not specifically with the Max, but with Bose as a whole. They have partnered with Qualcomm/Snapdragon for their HD Audio, which is currently confined to the Android ecosystem. As an iPhone user, I felt a little left out in the cold. Straight out-of-the-box, the Max was nearly ready to go. It took two seconds to pair and less than that to start charging, thanks to the included USB-C cable and power brick. The Bose app was easy to find and quick to install. I was able to set up an account and start using the app right away. While the setup was easy, more emphasis should be placed on the necessity of using the app to achieve the best sound, as the default EQ settings are a bit flat. The SoundLink Max boasts a sleek and simple design. There are no unnecessary lights or reminiscent designs to distract you—just a rugged exterior that protects the speakers while delivering excellent sound quality. The rope handle is a nice feature that accentuates the rugged yet simple design. They are easily changeable for other colored handles and shoulder straps, which are available at a steep premium on the Bose website. The Bose SoundLink Max is a phenomenal portable speaker that lives up to the high standards we expect from Bose. After several days of testing in various locations and with different music genres, I have not been disappointed. While there have been some reports of less-than-fantastic sound quality, this issue is easily resolved by adjusting the EQ settings in the Bose app. The final question is, is the SoundLink Max worth the $400 price tag? The simple answer is yes, it is worth every penny. ... show more

    • A small, sleek music box with big sound
Color: Black
This is an amazing music box. It is smaller and sleaker than most, but when pulling it out of the box, it weighs 5 lbs. this means the transducers are big, for big sound and big sound it has. With one tweeter, two mid-range and two bass reflex speakers, it belts out music. The Bose comes adjusted to flat sound, so a minor +3 adjustment brings out the bass and treble notes. I played my most demanding classical pieces and it was clear and crisp. You can fill a room or big back yard with this Bose portable box and put it in your backpack for twenty hour listening. ... show more

    • Worth Every Penny!
Color: Blue Dusk
I did a ton of research on speakers in this class, with the main competitor being the JBL Xtreme 3. The biggest complaints I kept seeing about the BSM were the price, the limited EQ options, and the battery life compared to JBL. Honestly, the 3-band EQ on the Bose is more than enough for the average person, and the speaker sounds amazing even without adjustments—so the EQ is just a bonus for me. The battery life is great for its size and power. Even if you listen at around 80% volume, it lasts long enough, and worst case, you can just plug it in while using it. People forget that even 8 hours of playtime is actually really good. Who’s listening to music straight for 8+ hours anyway? Just be responsible about charging it—you already charge your phone. As for the price, I genuinely don’t care. You get what you pay for, and this speaker is worth every penny. It sounds so good that I get excited every time I turn it on. The area where I’ll give the JBL Xtreme 3 a win is the included shoulder strap, while Bose charges $45 for theirs. Call me crazy, but I’d still buy the Bose even if the JBL were much cheaper—it’s that good. The sound this thing produces is insane. I’m not great at describing audio, but it has a warmer tone that doesn’t hurt your ears as you turn up the volume. The passive radiators do an excellent job dispersing both the sound especially the bass, creating an incredibly enjoyable listening experience. If you mainly listen to rap or very bass-heavy music, the JBL might be the better choice—but for everything else, this speaker is my pick. If you can grab this speaker on sale like I did on Black Friday, do it. I would still buy it at full price too if you miss the sale. ... show more
