[20 Hours] Bose did it again! I mean this speaker is incredible. It's small, but it packs a big punch. It feels unnecessary to say a Bose speaker sounds good, but I will anyway... it sounds soooo good. It was easy to set up with the app and connects flawlessly every time. Even as I connect my phone to other wireless devices throughout the day, as soon as I turn on the speaker, it connects right away. Love that! I'm really very impressed with the battery life. I've charged it one time and have used it for probably 15+ hours and it is still at 40%. It has a feature you can set for it to automatically turn off after a certain amount of time so you don't have to worry about draining the battery when you aren't using it. It's got some weight to it, but not in a bad way. I think it makes it feel sturdy and durable. My kids can carry it around no problem. In fact, I've found it in their playhouse a few times. I wanted to charge my phone, but it's only compatible with a USB-C port not a lightning port. So that was a bummer, but not a big deal. So go buy it. You won't regret it!

[5.3] the soundlink max produces such robust and rich sound. it's such a pleasure to listen to music on this speaker. in addition, it's incredibly sleek and aesthetically pleasing.

[20 Hours] I've owned several Bose products and loved all of what I've had so far. This speaker is no exception! Bose has made great strides to improve sound quality recently and especially the bass. I've used products from years ago that were not focused on those aspects and I'm amazed with how far it's come. One thing I thought was very interesting was I found out music production plays a huge role in sound quality, some songs sounded amazing and well balanced and others weren't as clear. That just goes to show that the speaker is fully capable of playing music well, so long as it was produced well. :) With the songs that are produced well, it really is amazing to listen to then on this speaker. You can hear things you didn't hear before and levels of detail that are amazing. I found several songs I never knew on some test playlists that sounded really good on this speaker. It was fun to listen to the songs I love on it and hear the differences. The amount of power this thing can push out is insane, it can get really loud. I did find the best sound hangs out in the mid to upper mid range of volume, the lower levels are pretty quiet and the loudest range is a little washed out. That being said, most of the time I don't use the highest volume, so the sweet spot sits just right for me. I also appreciate the battery life because I often forget to charge it yet it still runs. My QuietComfort headphones are the same story, way to go on battery life!

The packaging the product came in was very well designed and also included a USB-C charging cable and power supply (US based). A lot of companies cheap out on that stuff so it was nice to have that included.

Overall a really impressive product. I currently own a few small Bluetooth speakers and this one really blows them out of the water. It sits on a completely different level that them. I got the blue and I love the color, but that's just personal preference!

[5.3] |absolutely love this Bose especially on NFL Sunday watching football games and having great sound to hear makes watching football so much more enjoyable so happy I purchased this fantastic speaker

[5 Hours] I love all my bose products. Loved the compact design and the sound is off the chart.

[6.78 lb] Great speaker. Sounds great like all Bose speakers.

[20 Hours] Wow!!! I had high expectations but this far exceeded what I was expecting. Bose has always had exceptional high quality sound at loud volume, but the bass was a big, unexpected surprise. This thing drives the sound and is easily comparable to speakers 3 or 4 times its size, but with that high quality sound that makes Bose unique. Great job on this one!

[10.8 V] I’m ver impressed how much sound come out of a small speaker

[4600 mAh] I've been in the market for for a new Bluetooth speaker and I finally found the one. I was looking for something a little bigger, louder (with more bass of course), and a longer battery life for those long beach days and camping trips. I was blown away as this speaker checks off every one of those boxes. It is the perfect size for being big enough to fill any room and the outdoor party I had last weekend, while not being too big where it is no longer portable. The best feature of the SoundLink Max is the the adjustable EQ settings using the Bose app. It's so easy to adjust based on your surroundings or favorite music genre. I tend to like listening to music with a lot of bass and I was blown away with the sound quality with the volume cracked up and bass all the way up. It also was quite convenient when my phone died the other day and I was able to plug it into the speaker to charge vs having to leave my phone inside to charge. The icing on the cake is the fact that it's also waterproof. I highly recommend yet again another great Bose product and look forward to bring it many places!

[4600 mAh] I just got this new speaker and it sounds amazing, one of the best bose sound quality speakers out there. It has good features and again just the best sound.
