So small but such a big power! The bass os incredible! Super easy to connect, with a little bit of EQ tweak the sound is more tuned. Im really blown away about the performance of this speaker. It is expensive but in my opinion it is a good investment! The build quality is premium, the sound channels are clear. Above 85% volume the bass is decreased and on max volume there can be some distortion, but even on 75% its sooo loud!Update after 2 week! Sent it back as seems like these models of speaker have a manufacture issue, the battery drains even when the speaker is off. I checked online and saw a lot of people got the same isse and battery replacement or replacement did not fix ghe issue. In a week from 100% went down to 60% without turning it on. Really disappointed as the product itself is amazing!Let me know if you had the same issue? I wonder if anybody got one that works fine

The Bose SL Max is absolutely outstanding. The packaging is very nice and worth keeping, the feel of the unit with its silicone rubber outer and metal front is very luxurious, with it being water and dust proof it really is a robust piece of kit.The sound is where this speaker really comes into its own, the clarity is simply perfect with crystal clear mid and treble tones and a rich deep bass thanks to the aptX Adaptive codec and an integrated amplifier.The battery lasts for 20hrs off a full charge and I believe this to be accurate at around 50% volume.I love this speaker so much I am tempted to buy another to enjoy party mode and stereo connectivity.

Beautifully made. Nice simple quality design rather other speakers which look like a tacky disco box.Sound is epic. Huge base. You’ll need to turn it down with the eq in the companion app.App is ok, limited but that’s all you need. Option of being able to pair 2 for even bigger sound but I don’t think you’ll need too.I had a SoundLink mini before which epic but this is 3 times louder.Battery is great and you can even charge your phone from it.Is it worth £400 at release last year? No. But you’ll find them for £300 here on Think Assemble on prime days and that is a good price for what you’re getting.I also love the fact that it’s waterproof dust proof and impact proof and you link it to your Bose home system if you have one.

after watching many reviews and videos, i finally took the plunge on the bose vs its rivals.unable to compare it to other speakers like the youtube reviewers do, i cant compare. but i can say im very happy with it.connection was easy with the downloadable app. it quickly and easily connects to my phone when i turn it on.i dont use any of the functions on it really, i just control it with my phone and it all works perfectly.the volume is loud. and clear. if you actually like quality sound at decent volume, you will be happy. i havent felt the need to mess with the eq. i play a mix of genres, from country to pop to heavy rock to techno. it all sounds great.its not cheap, but you get what you pay for.its also very solidly built and has a nice weight to it, not too heavy but gives a confidence in it taking a few knocks.

Compact yet surprisingly powerful, exceptionally great sound & built quality, it is what you expect from Bose !

DISCLAIMERSo this review is essentially coming from a HIFI perspective, given that HIFI standards are quite high and often involve expensive purchases to reach the dizzy heights of audio perfection please keep that in mind as you read on.PRICEIn the world of bluetooth speakers this is definitely an expensive speaker at nearly £400 you are expecting something special as for this amount of money you could be buying a small HIFI setup which would provide significantly better sound quality albeit without the advantages of being mobile (20 hours of playtime on a single charge with the Bose Soundlink Max) and likely not bluetooth capable.SOUND QUALITYSTEREO SOUNDSo unlike basic bluetooth speakers and lower end versions of the sound link range, this speaker is classed as stereo. I don’t think many would have issue with that as an upgrade to the regular mono alternatives. However, as anyone who has experimented with stereo speakers knows, the further the part the speakers generally the better the stereo effect. Obviously in this case the speakers are right next to each other in the enclosure. So the level of “Stereo” you really are getting is debatable. Unlike something like a soundbar for a TV which is usually at least a meter wide where speakers can be placed at each end on the Bose Max they are positioned adjacent to each other. It would have been interesting if they could have designed an enclosure which had detachable components so you could have detached and placed the left and right speaker further apart. One advantage of the stereo approach is that when using the speakers with devices like laptops you can achieve some level of stereo capabilities. With the Bose Soundlink Flex (gen2) speakers (which I also own) you can through the iOS app connect two for stereo but if you were using a laptop without access to the app you were stuck with mono.EQThe 3 way equaliser implemented into the Bose app accessible on both iOS and Android provides a low medium and high frequency adjustment. I will say at this point if you have come from HIFI and are looking for a flat frequency response it may take you some time to find an EQ which is suitable to your tastes. Everything feels very extended bass is massively so, looking online at the various EQ settings people have come up with present you with a wide variety of configurations. This leads me to one of the big issues that the Bose Max appears to have inconsistency / instability. While you can with a little bit of tweaking find an EQ which works well for one type of music, when you then switch to a slightly different kind you find the speakers quickly become muddy or overly bass heavy or perhaps overly treble focused and they quickly become quite fatiguing. If you then adjust to accommodate the new music type, you then find it doesn’t suit the previous type. This quickly becomes a bit of a circular process where you are constantly tweaking the EQ rather than just enjoying your music. Almost like you are fighting against the digital audio processing built into the Bose Max. If anyone is interested after listening to a lot of music and constantly tweaking the best settings I found were Bass -1 Mid 0 Treble 0 Although by the time you are reading this they will have probably been changed again…SUITABLE MUSIC TYPESI have listened to quite a few different genres of music so far Rock, EDM(Dance, House, Trance, D&B), Country, Choir Music, Pop. I would say that Rock sounds ok, not great but generally listenable as well as Country, Pop, Choir, vocals generally sound good. EDM however varies massively and requires constant tweaking to get right. With EDM If the music becomes quite busy you often (especially if the EQ is not set correctly) will experience a level of muddiness and in some scenarios distortion almost like the digital audio processing is becoming overwhelmed.SHOULD YOU BUY IT ? This is a difficult one to answer, if you are the type of person who doesn’t really care that much about sound quality and are just looking for a loud speaker for dumping outside when you have friends over then yes I think this could be ideal. You don’t have to change any of the settings, it is water resistant, easy to turn on and off and you can play generic music through it all day without a worry. If on the other hand you do care about getting the best quality sound from a £400 device and have plans to use it in other scenarios such as connected to your laptop to listen to music when you work etc. Then I would recommend caution, if you listen to just one type of music you maybe fine as you can set and forget the EQ. If you listen to a variety of different types of music and one of those types of music is EDM I would be especially cautious as you might find yourself spending more time tweaking the EQ than listening to music.I hope this helps people on their search for the right speaker.

Mehr als nur ein Ersatz für meine Mini 2. Ich bin begeistert 😱
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 Think Assemble im Angebot für 289 € bekommen. Ich denke, weit über 300 € hätte ich dafür nicht ausgegeben.)

DIFFUSORE BLUETOOTH ECCEZIONALE
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 corpoPASSIAMO 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.
