Great sound, awesome base and features
The Bose SoundLink Max has a great sound and base. Nice feature. On max power though it does tend to drain the battery quickly

Sounds bigger than it is
Great sounding speaker, clear and powerful, weighty solid feel and good battery life, I’ve tried a lot in the shops and never found better. Just make sure you adjust the sound setting a tiny bit in the mobile app, you can greatly improve the mids and lows at lower sound levels there.

At a glance
The Bose SoundLink Max is a premium portable Bluetooth speaker built for people who want bigger sound outdoors without moving to a full party speaker. It suits barbecues, beach trips and backyard listening thanks to its strong bass, IP67 durability and 20-hour battery life. Its main limitation is that, at 2.2 kg and a larger size, it is less travel-friendly than smaller portable speakers.

Things to consider
It delivers bigger sound than compact portable speakers, but its 2.2 kg body and larger footprint make it less convenient for light travel or everyday bag carry.
Portability rating
7/10 - portable for a larger speaker, but 2.2 kg and a 26.5 cm width make it less compact than smaller travel models
Outdoor suitability
High - well suited to backyards, parks and beach use thanks to IP67 dust and water resistance
Battery endurance rating
9/10 - up to 20 hours of battery life is strong for long outdoor sessions
Audio quality score
9/10 - larger build supports strong stereo sound and deeper bass, especially in open spaces
Multi-device compatibility
8/10 - supports multi-point Bluetooth and Bose SimpleSync for flexible use across compatible devices and products
Key benefits
- Bluetooth 5.4: Provides stable wireless streaming for music playback from compatible devices.
- 20-hour battery life: Supports up to 20 hours of listening on a single charge for day-long use.
- IP67 dust and water resistance: Helps the speaker handle splashes, rain and brief accidental immersion outdoors.
- Larger speaker design: Produces stronger stereo sound and deeper bass that carry better in open spaces.
- Multi-point Bluetooth: Lets you switch between connected devices more easily without repeated re-pairing.
- Bose SimpleSync compatibility: Allows linking with compatible Bose products for wider multi-device listening.
- Playback while charging: Keeps music going during longer sessions when the battery needs topping up.
- 9 m Bluetooth range: Gives you room to move your phone or tablet around nearby indoor or outdoor spaces.
Q: Is this speaker too heavy for regular beach or park trips
A: Bose SoundLink Max is portable enough for beach or park use, but it is not a light day-pack speaker. At 2.2kg and 265mm wide, it suits carrying by hand or packing for a planned outing more than all-day everyday carry.
Q: What does the IP67 rating mean for outdoor use
A: Bose SoundLink Max is built to handle dust, splashes, rain and brief accidental immersion, so it suits backyards, poolside use and beach trips. IP67 does not make it a speaker for long underwater use or rough saltwater exposure.
Q: Will the battery last through a full day outside
A: Bose SoundLink Max offers up to 20 hours of playback on a single charge for longer listening sessions. Battery life will be shorter at higher volume levels, so full-volume outdoor use is more demanding than casual listening at home or in the backyard.
Q: Can you keep playing music while the speaker is charging
A: Yes. Bose SoundLink Max can keep playing while it recharges, which is useful for long barbecues or backyard sessions. That means you do not have to stop listening when the battery runs low, as long as charging power is available.
Q: How does multi-point Bluetooth help when sharing music with others
A: Multi-point Bluetooth lets Bose SoundLink Max stay connected to more than one device, so swapping from one phone or tablet to another is simpler. It is designed to reduce repeated re-pairing, but the speaker still works over Bluetooth rather than Wi-Fi.
Q: Can it link with other Bose speakers or headphones at home
A: Yes. Bose SoundLink Max supports Bose SimpleSync, which is designed to link with compatible Bose products for broader listening around the home. Compatibility depends on the other Bose device supporting SimpleSync, so not every Bose product is covered.
