Bose SoundLink Max - Black

Product Description:

The Bose SoundLink Max is Bose's largest and most powerful portable Bluetooth speaker — a rugged, IP67-rated party-starter that delivers deep, room-filling bass and expansive stereo sound from a grab-and-go design built to survive pools, beaches, rainstorms, dust storms, and drops. With up to 20 hours of battery life, a USB-C port that doubles as a power bank for charging your phone, a thick rope carry handle, and the ability to float if dropped in water, the SoundLink Max is engineered for the person who wants Bose-level sound quality outdoors, at the barbecue, by the pool, or anywhere the party goes — without worrying about what happens when things get wet, sandy, or rough.

The Articulated Array driver configuration is Bose's proprietary multi-driver layout designed to push a wider, more immersive soundstage from a single enclosure. Two 2.5-inch midrange drivers and one 0.79-inch tweeter are arranged across the front face, working in concert with two custom-designed passive radiators to deliver bass performance that genuinely defies the speaker's size. The result is deep, punchy low-end with clear, articulate mids and detailed highs — the kind of full-range sound that fills a backyard, a hotel room, or a campsite without the thin, hollow character that most portable speakers produce when you actually need them to get loud.

IP67 means the SoundLink Max is fully waterproof (submersible to 1 meter for 30 minutes) and fully dustproof — it handles pool splashes, beach sand, sudden downpours, and accidental dunks without damage. If it falls into a pool, it floats face-up and keeps playing. Shock resistance and rust resistance add further durability for outdoor environments where speakers get dropped on rocks, knocked off tables, and exposed to salt air.

Up to 20 hours of battery at 65% volume means the SoundLink Max plays from sunrise to well past sunset on a single charge. Real-world testing by independent reviewers has measured 43+ hours at lower volumes. The USB-C port charges the speaker (full charge in approximately 5 hours with a 15W supply) and doubles as a power bank — connect your phone and the speaker shares its battery to keep your device alive. A built-in 3.5mm AUX input provides a wired connection for turntables, older devices, and any non-Bluetooth audio source.

The removable rope carry handle — made from thick, climbing-grade rope — provides a secure, comfortable grip for carrying the speaker one-handed between locations. The handle is substantial enough to clip to a carabiner, hang from a hook, or sling over a tent pole.

Pair two SoundLink Max speakers in Stereo Mode for true left/right separation or Party Mode for synchronized mono playback across a larger area. Bose SimpleSync connects the SoundLink Max to compatible Bose soundbars and smart speakers for synchronized whole-home audio. A programmable shortcut button provides one-touch access to your Spotify account or other customizable functions. On-speaker controls handle power, Bluetooth pairing, play/pause, volume, and the shortcut button. The Bose Music app provides adjustable EQ (bass, mid, treble), battery monitoring, and firmware updates. Available in Black, Blue Dusk, and Desert Gold.
