Big sound from a small speaker in size.
I bought this speaker a few weeks ago and I am impressed 👍 with the quality of sound it outputs. For it's size the output is like a bigger speaker. I recommend!

Bad Bose portable speaker
My device 084884P43059564AE is not getting registered. The base speaker is giving wokk wook sound and small base speaker is squeaking and not giving proper sound. My 40000 got wasted. +919876447887

Excellent Bluetooth speaker.
Originally, I purchased the speaker that’s two sizes smaller and it was great but in the back of my mind, I really wanted to see how good this max speaker is. Well, I am blown away away with how good it sounds. I love everything about it. The only negatives are that this speaker cannot be used while making phone calls. The other thing is, I wish that the shoulder strap...

Like Buttah
I got this speaker in citrus and the color is more beautiful in person. But enough about the color, the sound is awesome and you can adjust the treble/bass in the app for your perfect sound.

Good premium weight to and the texture feels nice
I bought this speaker just after Christmas. I have to for a portable speaker it’s got good sound and a good volume I was impressed by how high the volume is. The adjustability in the app makes it nice so you can hear your favorite sounds. I can’t say I have heard hundreds of speakers but what plans I had for this speaker I believe it’s got to work perfectly

Excellent Sound
I got my Bose Soundlink Max early this month. This speaker was so amazing and I ‘m happy to have one. It’s a small speaker with big and great sound. I like the bass which really sounds like a big speaker.
