Customers say
Customers praise the portable speaker’s sound quality, noting its ability to make rooms echo and adjust bass-mid-treble settings, while appreciating its build quality and portability as a small footprint travel companion. The Bluetooth connectivity works well with devices, and customers find the battery life impressive and the design aesthetically pleasing, with clear mids and highs. While some customers consider it worth the money, others find it pricey.

Bose is the best.
I really love my speaker, it’s loud asf very clear sound and can be equalized on the app great buy caught it on sale.

Excellent portable speakers
I got JBL Boombox 3 and while that thing is the best in its class, it is too big to carry around (take all the space, weight in the carry-on luggage). Bose Soundlink Max sounds almost as good while being much smaller. It is better than Sony Ult 5 and JBL Xtreme 4. It is worth the extra $ vs. other options

It’s a BOSE!
I only have one word of caution: do NOT separate your bass from your mids too much, as you may blow your speakers. I am an audiophile, I listen to all genres, and when I began playing music with power chords (Godsmack, Slipknot, etc.) I could hear the strain in in the speakers (clicks, and cracks), so if you’re a metal head, use caution! As for hip hop, I found this to be a “gifted” speaker, especially if you know how to utilize the acoustics in spaces which will actually enhance the dynamic range. So, for example, I like to place my speaker in the corner of a room, or a nook/cranny of a room. You begin to hear its limitations with genres like Tejano, folk, as with a couple others.Electronica sounds decent on this speaker, but it’s lacking in that “expansive” feeling that comes with the drops in subgenres like ‘drum and bass’, nevertheless, it still fills the room, with proper equalizer settings, which you download through Googplay/Appstore. The equalizer only has bass, mids & treble settings.Connection is simple and easy. If you can’t connect this speaker, then it would either be ‘User Error’, or a malfunctioning speaker, which you rarely ever hear of with this brand. I’d recommend buying a protective casing, w/ strap. You can remove the handle for it, but I’m not messing with that. The aux jack and the charger port are both open and can’t be covered, which made me scratch my head, but the speaker offers intel on humidity, condensation and will let you know if it’s safe to charge. And, speaking of charge, this speaker doesn’t hold too much of a charge. I haven’t timed a full charge, but when I did fully charge it, the battery zapped down to 90% in no time.There’s really not much more to say, except buy one (if you have the money for it). You get what you pay for. I just got the Bose Flexlink and tried to link the two via their “shortcut” button with zero results. The shortcut button on this speaker does not work, which seems to be tandem with another review I read.Just remember: where you place your speaker will impact your listening experience.(Note: I bought a Bugani M83 Bluetooth speaker, a few years back, which was a good little speaker. It’s slightly bigger than this Bose, but doesn’t even compare.) I just have to keep reminding myself that it’s a Bluetooth speaker, and not a larger system. I just put really high expectations on Bose.Update: I, recently, watched a video on YouTube comparing this with the JBL Xtreme 4, while my phone was connected to my Bose speaker and, tbh, I felt that this was the superior speaker in a few ways, but the JBLs sound was a bit “tinny”, like the vocalist was singing into a can of sorts. The JBL has a removable battery, longer battery life (+4 hours), is easier to interconnect to other speakers, the sound will “boost” when you plug it in, it’s a bit louder and it comes with its own strap. As for the Bose, well.. I just think that it sounded better, plus I like that it uses 3 different codecs instead of the standard SBC, that the JBL runs.PS. I, recently, purchased the Bose Soundlink Flex Bluetooth speaker & after listening to half of a song on it, I put it back in its package and returned it asap. I have a little Tribit speaker, I paid $30 for & it sounds just as good as the Bose did, with the EQ at full. I was extremely disappointed.

Supero mis expectativas!!Buena calidad de construcción.Suena muy fuerte.Es bonita
by Nicole Chevalier
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!

Excellent enceinte, Bluetooth
by Angel
Muy buen sonido, bajos decentes para el tamaño. Funciona con la nueva app de Bose.Vengo de la revolve+ de primera generación y la calidad de sonido es la misma, podría decir que se escucha entre un 30% a un 40% más fuerte y en los bajos no tiene comparativa ya que la MAX cuenta con woofer. En comparativa el sonido se escucha más envolvente ya que cuenta con bocinas izquierda y derecha.En construcción y armado se siente de mucha calidad, es bueno que ya sea usbc, viene con cable y cargador.Lo único malo que le veo a esta bocina es que no tiene encendido por Bluetooth (wake on) que la revolve+ si tenía. Solo por esto pienso en regresar a mi antigua bocina, es un engorro tener que pararse a encender la bocina siendo que con la anterior desde mi celular se podía encender. Ojalá y en una futura actualización de firmware corrijan esto ya que desde la anterior app detecta la MAX solo que no deja encenderla.

Bose perfection. Amazing well balanced and blended deep sound. Great base. Best Bose portable I have purchased to date. I like to crank ‘er up when I listen to music and I am impressed by the battery longevity even when she’s cranked. 5 stars outta 5. One can never go wrong with Bose in my opinion 🙂
