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

Very good BT speaker. Worth of cost for its look and typical lively sound. Thanks Amazon for extending the privilege of discount in Republic Day Deal. Blue Dusk is nice to look (as per my choice). Excellent stereophonic sound cannot be compared with other. It is worth for placing bed room or drawing hall. Battery charging is very fast, checked two times. Cannot say the playing time and battery life as I receive it today. I thought it is manufactured in China but I observed that it is from Malaysia. Nice. Sound equaliser is operable from App, checked it - really very good. Cost wise JBL partybox stage 320 is also available at this cost which I have, that is truely outside speaker. If anyone likes to dance with BT speaker then go for JBL partybox, but for listening song Bose BT speaker is best choice. This comparison is only on basis of costwise and size. This speaker is wrapped with thin silicone sheet which feels very soft and smooth. Overall it is very good choice for listening of song at home.

Bose is Bose. And reasons are more than one to go for bose among the Sony Ult5, Marshall emberton 2 or even killburn 3, kilpsh and so on. To start with size and weight is the most perfect. The portability factor with short briefcase like carry handle makes it suoer easy to carry. Then comes the awesome ruggedness. Then comes latest bluetooth connectivity and pairing along with direct spotify access. And then comes the SOUND... AMMMMMAZING. The depth, the soundstage, the volume, the basssss with amazing clarity. I have them all. And hands down this one is the KING of them all. The perfect bundle.

Delivers the value you'd expect from a speaker this costly! This speaker is a piece of art! I am listening Asif Aslam’s Dil Diya Gallan on 10% volume at 12:00 AM. The base is as thumping, clear, butter smooth as it ever could be. Have tried complex compositions also; e.g by A R Rahman. EACH instrument is rendered crystal clear. Superb separation for my audiophile ears. The sound stage is really wide. Try Drishyam II trailer when you get your own to get mesmorized by its capacity to deliver movies soundtracks. Of course its not dolby atmos etc. but I enjoyed the bass, clarity and zero destortion even at 80% volume. The sound fills up the entire room. And 360 audio is impressive (i.e. you do not need to sit in front of the speaker to get best listening experience; the speaker sounds great at any angle) Frankly I had to gather some courage to go for this masterpiece of sound tech for 30k in Amazon sale, and avoid the temptation to settle for something equivalent (fidelity-wise, separation-wise etc), and cheaper. Its expensive. But its Bose. Spend your ₹ assured. It doesn’t disappoint! Premium sturdy build. Minimal design keeps usage straight forward. Paired seamlessly with my phone. Don't know the battery life yet.

I'm obsessed with my Bose SoundLink Max! As my first Bose product, I was skeptical, but the sound engineering is simply mind-blowing. The soundstage is massive, with clear, rich audio that's perfect for any genre. The design is sleek and sturdy, with a comfortable grip and intuitive controls. The battery life is incredible – I get up to 20 hours of playtime on a single charge. I'm loving the versatility – I use it for music, podcasts, and even gaming. The mic quality is great, too. If you're looking for a premium portable speaker, the Bose SoundLink Max is a no-brainer. Worth every penny! 💸

I have owned all Bose Speakers at this level since 2017. I own a few Marshall and Sonos also. I depend on Bose because they make some very good value for money products in their line up such as Bose Flex, Bose Revolve Plus 2 (my first gen still works fine after 7 years..) and so on. When I saw a promo of this speaker, I knew I wanted it. I wanted something to rival the Stanmore, the bose home speaker 500 or even the Woburn by Marshall. 1. The packaging is ok, nothing too fancy 2. comes with just a usb c cable and that is ok 3. Came with 30% juice but had to be plugged in for 10 seconds to stir it awake 4. Setup took less than 2 mins with bose music app (signed out from email, no registration required) 5. Within 20 seconds of playing the first song, I knew this was the most impressive big sound speaker I have ever heard. 6. I charged it too 100% from 30% and that took roughly 2-3 hours. 7. Played a bunch of music and everything was booming so I went to the Bose Music app and reduced bass with a preset setting. Things looked better. 8. Later played a lot of music by Sia and realised this is a major step up from any other speaker. Pros - big sound, small form factor, comfortable silicone finish with perfect build quality, good battery life, you can charge your devices too with this and use it as a power bank, supposed to have a 20 hour battery life, great form factor, Durable, classy (black), aux option, priced perfectly Cons - Bass is boomy and I'm not a bass head Conclusion - I heard some 30-40 songs in my first day of usage and even used it for gym (I workout at home with trainer) and I was satisfied. Suggestion - Just buy it. No need to demo. Who should not buy it? Someone who needs things to be 100 out of 100 on day 1. Bose speakers grow on you. And grow on you. And grow on you. I will keep updating this review and also post a video review.

"Super Awesome", "Small Wonder", "Sound Output & Performance - Par-Excellante" !!! Battery lasts more than a week, if you listen 2 Hours a Day ! Extremely Portable and easy to carry, but a bit heavy, because big Battery Backup ... Clarity is beyond expectations ! Sound-output is unexpectedly Powerful ... A "TRUE" Small Wonder 🤔 👍🏻💯💯💯😀🥰🥰🥰

Don't go to negetive review. This is a very nice engineering by bose. Fully satisfied. Just tune to proper equalizer. Bass +2,3,4 high +2,3,4. And see the result. You will forget everything and mood will change automatically. Fantabulous speakers. Very rich sound

Looks very good. Lemon yellow looks pretty nice. Very good sound quality. We hear each and every instruments clearly. Good battery backup. App is pretty good too. I have connected my iPhone and Macbook, the switching between both is very seamless. Only issue I see is battery level is only shown on app, it doesn't show up in Bluetooth toolbar.

Rewelacja

Da mir leider vor einigen Wochen meine SoundLink Mini 2 gestohlen wurde, war ich auf der Suche nach dem „Nachfolger“. Ich erinnerte mich, dass damals die Boxen von Bose rauskamen, die so aussahen wie Laternen und deren Klang mich nicht sehr begeistert hat. Danach gab es die SoundLink Flex, bei der ich enttäuscht war, wie viel billiger sie im Vergleich zu meiner Mini 2 wirkt. Da ich die Box zu 80 % zu Hause bzw. im Garten nutze und, wenn ich sie mitnehme, meistens im Auto transportiere, habe ich mich nun für die deutlich größere SoundLink Max entschieden. Positiv: • Der Sound ist wirklich toll – besonders bei mittlerer Lautstärke und nicht allzu großer Entfernung. Räumlich mit gutem Bass, bei dem die Mitten und Höhen nicht untergehen (bei entsprechender Einstellung – aber dazu gleich mehr). • Die Verarbeitung ist wirklich erstklassig. Die Box macht an der Front einen ähnlich wertigen Eindruck wie meine Mini 2 und hat trotzdem an vielen Stellen eine Gummierung, um auch outdoor-tauglich zu sein. Die Mini 2 habe ich oft wie ein rohes Ei behandelt, da sie schon recht anfällig für Kratzer und Dellen war. • Beim Thema Outdoor hilft natürlich auch die Wetterfestigkeit. Auch da gab es bei der Mini 2 nicht viel Spielraum. Nun muss ich mir keine Sorgen mehr machen, wenn’s mal anfängt zu regnen. • Per App lässt sich der Equalizer für Bass, Mitten und Höhen einstellen. Ich bin zwar kein Experte, aber auch als Laie konnte ich schnell eine Einstellung finden, die mir zusagt. Ich höre recht unterschiedliche Musikgenres wie Electro, Pop, aber auch mal Klassik oder Rock. Anfangs war ich schon recht begeistert von den Grundeinstellungen, aber nach dem Justieren im EQ wurde mir erst bewusst, wie sehr die Höhen untergehen. Meine aktuelle Einstellung ist 0, +2, +5. Neutral: • Die Box ist sehr schwer. Ich kann das nicht wirklich als negativen Punkt ankreiden, da es eben eine große Bluetooth-Box ist und einfach viel drinsteckt. Aber das Gewicht ist tatsächlich grenzwertig für den Transport, z. B. im Rucksack auf dem Fahrrad. - Für einen größeren Bereich voll aufgedreht nur bedingt zu empfehlen. Wenn der Anspruch bei einer Gartenparty nicht allzu hoch ist, passt das schon. Aber wer da einen sauberen Klang erwartet, wird eventuell enttäuscht. Da fehlt dann bei der Lautstärke auch einfach die Räumlichkeit. Negativ: • Nicht super dramatisch, aber da die Box wasserfest ist, hätte man ruhig so eine Silikonabdeckung über die Anschlüsse machen können. Die App kann zwar signalisieren, wenn man die Box vor dem Laden noch trocknen lassen sollte, aber mit einer Abdeckung wäre das nicht nötig. Sieht zwar cleaner aus, aber mir wäre es trotzdem lieber gewesen. Insgesamt eine wirklich tolle Box, die ich – beim Preis, der Größe und dem Gewicht – eher als transportable und akkubetriebene HomePod-Alternative betrachte als als kleine, super transportable Bluetooth-Box. Aber das war auch genau das, was ich wollte :) Klare Kaufempfehlung! (Ich habe die Box hier bei Amazon im Angebot für 289 € bekommen. Ich denke, weit über 300 € hätte ich dafür nicht ausgegeben.)

The best

Incredible sound ! A bit expensive but really worth it !

Diffusore Bluetooth davvero superlativo. Appena arrivato subito si nota il peso dello scatolo, molto importante, il che è un buon segno, imballo molto curato e protetto. Appena si estrae il prodotto ci si rente conto che non è il solito giocattolino cinese (senza offesa per i prodotti cinesi!), assembragglio perfetto, griglia frontale in METALLO e non plastica come si legge da qualche parte, l'intero corpo è invece in plastica ricoperto da uno strato di silicone molto bello al tatto ed elegante, fa sì che non scivoli dalle mani, però proprio questo strato purtroppo è una calamita per qualsiasi tipo di polvere e ditate (non una mossa intelligente dato che questo speaker è pensato principalmente per le scampagnate e festicciole all'aperto) inoltre è anche parecchio difficile pulirlo. Comodissima la maniglia in tessuto con il manico dello stesso materiale dell'intero corpo PASSIAMO AL SUONO: In una parola sola, POSSENTE! Non è un diffusore definitissimo in gamma alta, non ti impressiona per chiarezza e limpidezza, tanto che al primo ascolto si rimane perplessi, ma proprio questo timbro molto caldo caratterisgico di Bose si lascia ascoltare per ore senza provocare affaticamento. Bassi molto corposi e potenti, non scende molto in basso come frequenza ma al contrario degli altri prodotti Bose qui il DSP interviene a volumi più alti per limitare i bassi ed evitare distorsioni. Parlando di potenza pura vi posso garantire che questo coso sprigiona un volume da far impallidire speaker bluetooth molto più grossi! Se lo si tiene in mano di fronte a se da parecchio fastidio da quanta potenza sprigiona! Ci sono speaker bluetooth che suonano più forte e meglio, ma non dobbiamo trascurare il motivo per cui sono stati creati questi prodotti, ESSERE TRASPORTATI, quindi inutile fare paragoni stupidi con prodotti grandi il triplo, non ha senso! Parecchi lo paragonano al boombox di jbl solo perché costano quasi uguali, però vi voglio vedere mettere nello zaino un boombox 3 e portarvelo in montagna... AUTONOMIA E RICARICA: Le 20 ore dichiarate sono solo figurative, non si più avere una certezza di durata in termini di ore... dipende solo ed esclusivamente da voi: per chi conosce il funzionamento di un amplificatore in classe D (praticamente tutti gli speaker bluetooth lo hanno) capisce da se che se si ascolta musica molto strumentale, con pochi bassi e a volume medio, forse ci arriviamo alle 20 ore, se si ascolta a volumi molto alti con tracce molto cariche di bassi l'autonomia scende drasticamente! Non è un difetto o una presa in giro da parte di Bose, è una cosa NORMALE! Per sprigionare una tale potenza e bassi l'amplificatore ha bisogno di prelevare molta corrente per far vibrare più intensamente i coni dei driver, questa corrente ovviamente viene prelevata dalla batteria il che si scarica più velocemente! Vi faccio un esempio, la batteria del soundlink max dovrebbe essere da 10.8v e 4600mah quindi una potenza di circa 49wh, significa che se l'amplificatore interno ha un rendimento del 100% (cosa impossibile) e l'amplificatore eroga 49w sugli altoparlanti questa avrà una durata di un ora al massimo della potenza erogabile! Ovviamente ci sono mille altri fattori da considerare (che non sto qui a spiegare). IN CONCLUSIONE: Se stai cercando un diffusore bluetooth pratico, relativamente portatile e molto potente questo è da tenere molto molto in considerazione. Se stai cercando uno speaker con una qualità più fedele allora non fa per te, ci sono prodotti cinesi che suonano anche meglio, ma si sognano la potenza di questo Bose, inoltre le dimensioni aumentano. Non dimentichiamoci che parte del prezzo pagato è dovuto al nome Bose e a tutta l'affidabilità e garanzia che c'è dietro. Detto ciò a 299 euro in offerta ci può stare, ma 400 di listino non esiste proprio.
