- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 April 2025Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseI spent a while looking through reviews of comparable speakers and finally bit the bullet on this one.
For audio I typically gravitate towards Sony, but was put of by the sheer size of the comparable speakers; for me, the priorities are sound quality (signature), portability (moving from room to room) and durability (something this expensive needs to last!).
I am pleased to report this beauty ticks all boxes, and has exceeded expectations.
Of most note is the sound signature; I tend to drive the speaker through a portable HIBY DAP player, and the pairing is excellent providing a wonderful layered sound. (Also have the option of driving a wired connection)
Also worth noting the Bose app is brilliant - simple and effective
This one is an investment, and the build suggests it will stand the test of time.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 March 2025Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseBeautifully 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 Amazon 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.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2025Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseAbsolutely fantastic small speaker with a lot of bass. It is just as described, perfect for the garden which is what we purchased it for. Very easy to set up. From the weight you can tell its great quality & its nice & compact to move it around. Beautiful sound.
I would very highly recommend this speaker if you want a small portable speaker with a great sound.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 April 2025Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseVery good sound quality with excellent base, as expected. The speaker is very heavy but made up by sound quality. It is very functional with multiple simultaneous connections. Excellent battery life and the reverse charging is also very helpful.
Looking at the price history, do not buy at over £300 as it is frequently dropped to £299.
My main criticism is the metal grill is VERY easily scratched, see photos.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 June 2024Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseThe weight which feels like 5kg or five packets of sugar is the first thing you can't help notice with the promise to deliver heavy bass and Holy crap! it delivers it well.
On testing it at work people rushed in to see where the big sound was coming from and struggled to believe it came out of such small sized speaker.
Internet music quality varies so CD's are the best to utilise its full potential. Not sure why they allow you to tweet the sound levels as factory setting is best. I've heard quite a few Bluetooth speakers in my time but this one is on another level.
Best Bluetooth speaker I've ever owned to date, with JBL coming second.
The price is well justified for the power you get in return which in my opinion you actually get more for your money on this particular speaker.
Bose have really outdone themselves as per usual.
When I'll replace it it will be for next few model up.
It wouldn't surprise me if it doesn't win awards in "what hi-fi" magazine.
NOTE: Best use a charger that fits the cable provided as it can take ages to charge with standard phone charging cable.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2025Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseI’m of a generation that always thought the bigger the speaker, the better sound. Now with new technology that theory has gone out the window. This little speaker has the sound and power of my old hi-fi. The bass booms and the EQ is easily adjustable via the Bose app. I absolutely love it. My music sounds fantastic. It’s amazing how such a small speaker can fill a room. Well worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars Solide BOSE Qualität mit raumfüllendem Klang
Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseWir besitzen den Flex und auch den Mirco.
Da wir eine lange Zeit einen Teufel Holist M in unserer Küche hatten, aber mit dem Klang nie so richtig happy waren, kam der große Bose Max ins Haus.
Der Klang, im direkten Vergleich zum Holist ist einfach ausgewogener und satter. Auch irgendwie raumfüllender.
Der Bass klingt für uns "sauberer" als beim Holist. Beim Holist ist zwar mehr Druck hinterm Bass, aber der Klang ist nicht so raumfüllend und lebendig wir beim Bose.
Für uns ist klar dass der Bose Max die bessere Wahl ist. Die Portabilität im Vergleich zum Holist, bei besserem raumfüllenden Klang ist noch ein Bonus. Aber man will auch nicht Äpfel mit Birnen vergleichen, dass der Holist nicht portabel ist, war gewusst, und ist keine Kritik.
Zur Akkulaufzeit kann ich sagen, dass sie von uns als gut empfunden wird. Da der Speaker im ganzen Haus herumgetragen wird, ist bei Bedarf auch schnell nach geladen. Was auffällt, der Speaker lädt schnell. Wir haben 65W GAN Ladegeräte, welche die Box schnell wieder voll bekommen. Die Bose APP hingegen ist eine gefühlte Katastrophe und wird deshalb nicht benutzt. Die Box funktioniert aber für unseren Bedarf auch ohne APP Anbindung perfekt.
Nicht billig, aber das kennt man von BOSE ja. Aber aus unserer Sicht, auf jeden Fall das Geld wert.

5.0 out of 5 stars Si quieres calidad este es impresionante
Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseYa tenía una altavoz también Bose que solo funcionaba con wifi y a veces se desconectaba y tampoco te lo podías llevar… por eso compré este y desde que lo sacas de la caja ya puedes ver la calidad que tiene el altavoz, pero cuando lo enciendes y pones la música ya te quedas alucinado con la potencia.. flipas con lo pequeño que es y como suena es una pasada!! Vamos si te lo pillas no te defrauda y la autonomía que tiene puedes darle caña que aguanta 17h casi al máximo… no lo dudes y acertarás con la compra

5.0 out of 5 stars Impressive Speaker
Colour Name: BlackVerified PurchaseOn the first release, I was contemplating on buying it because of the price. I ended up with the Marshall Mid and months later this came on sale. I really believed that the Mid is good enough. But upon testing it, OMG I'm impressed. I immediately packed the mid planning to give it to someone worthy of it. LOL
The stereo separation is impressive, the instrumentals are more noticeable. What's more! the bass! it's both punchy and deep! some audiophile might argue but for me it's great. It feels like having a sound system on the size of a hand bag.
