Bose Unveils Powerful SoundLink Max Speaker
Bose is known for taking bold steps with its products, and while opinions may vary on their ambitious endeavors, I admire their willingness to innovate. Today, they’re introducing a new addition to their lineup, the SoundLink Max, which builds upon their expertise in Bluetooth speakers, an area where they’ve always excelled.
This larger model, an evolution of the SoundLink Flex, promises even better sound quality thanks to its three transducers and two custom-designed passive radiators. With Bose’s track record of delivering impressive audio from compact devices, I’m eager to experience the enhanced capabilities of this larger speaker when it hits shelves on May 16th for $399.
SoundLink Max: Versatility Meets Performance
It’s not uncommon to feel frustrated when tech companies charge high prices for Bluetooth speakers with limited functionality. However, Bose seems to have addressed this concern with the SoundLink Max by including an aux input alongside its wireless capabilities. This allows users to connect devices directly and easily switch between sources with a dedicated button.
While wireless usage will likely be more common, Bose has ensured a high-quality experience by incorporating AptX Adaptive codec support, enabling higher-bitrate streaming compared to standard AAC and SBC codecs. With a battery life of approximately 20 hours, the SoundLink Max also features a USB-C port for convenient device charging on the go, aligning with the convenience offered by many modern portable speakers.
SoundLink Max: Portable and Built to Last
The SoundLink Max by Bose is sized at 10.42 inches wide, 4.73 inches high, and 4.13 inches deep, weighing nearly five pounds. Bose has included a removable rope handle for easy portability, and for those who prefer to sling it over their shoulder, there’s also a larger rope carrying strap available for purchase.
Like its predecessor, the SoundLink Flex, the Max comes in black or light blue options and boasts an IP67 rating, making it resistant to water and dust, ideal for outdoor use.

Additionally, I’ve been putting Sony’s $500 ULT Field 7 through its paces recently, and I can attest that it offers more speaker power than many would require for summer activities.
However, it’s important to note that the ULT Field 7 and the SoundLink Max occupy different size categories. With Bose’s reputation for delivering exceptional audio quality, I’m optimistic that their latest speaker will exceed expectations thanks to their unique expertise.
