Bose is amplifying its renowned SoundLink Bluetooth® speaker series with the debut of the SoundLink Max Portable Speaker.

Drawing on decades of Bose expertise in acoustics, the SoundLink Max delivers exceptional performance tailored to your music preferences, igniting and sustaining any gathering. Utilizing a Bose Articulated Array featuring three transducers along the speaker’s front, it provides a broad stereo experience beyond its physical dimensions. Plus, two custom-designed passive radiators ensure surprising bass depth despite its compact form. Employing technology akin to Bose soundbars and proprietary digital signal processing, this speaker minimizes distortion, delivering rich, natural sound across genres. With Adjustable EQ settings accessible via the Bose app, you can fine-tune your listening experience to suit your tastes, adjusting bass, mid-range, and treble.

Crafted for durability and portability, the SoundLink Max boasts a sleek design featuring a powder-coated, silicone-wrapped steel enclosure for a premium aesthetic. Built to withstand bumps, drops, and environmental elements, it’s corrosion-resistant, UV-protected, and IP67-rated for water, dust, rust, and shock resistance. Measuring 10.42″ wide, 4.73″ high, and 4.13″ deep and weighing under five pounds, it’s conveniently portable, facilitated by an integrated, removable rope handle. Optional rope carrying straps and color handle accessories offer further customization.

With up to 20 hours of battery life, the SoundLink Max keeps the music playing day and night, and its USB-C port allows for mobile device charging. Available in Black or Blue Dusk, it supports Bluetooth 5.3, SBC, and AAC codec standards for broad compatibility. For high-definition audio, it employs Snapdragon Sound™ with the latest Qualcomm® aptX™ Adaptive codec, adapting to lossless quality. Additionally, Snapdragon Sound™ technology ensures seamless connectivity with premium Android devices, further enhanced by Google Fast Pair for hassle-free pairing. For wired playback, an AUX input facilitates connectivity with turntables, MP3, or CD players, with a shortcut button offering AUX switching or customizable Spotify Tap functionality for added convenience.
