Bose SoundLink Max: The Ultimate Outdoor Speaker
When I first laid my eyes on the Bose SoundLink Max, I couldn't help but think "wow, this thing is huge!" And I mean that in the best way possible.
Unboxing and First Impressions
When I first laid my eyes on the Bose SoundLink Max, I couldn't help but think "wow, this thing is huge!" And I mean that in the best way possible. This chic boom-box speaker is Bose's biggest portable speaker yet, and it definitely makes a statement. It's available in black and dusk blue, both of which look sleek and stylish.
Once I got over its size, I unboxed the SoundLink Max and was immediately impressed by its build quality. It's rugged and durable, with an IP67 rating for protection against UV light, shocks, dirt, and even water submersion.
This makes it the perfect companion for any outdoor adventure. And let's be real, we all need a little more adventure in our lives.
Features and Performance
But the SoundLink Max is more than just a pretty face. It's packed with features that make it a standout among other outdoor speakers. The three speaker drivers and two custom-designed passive radiators deliver powerful and spacious stereo sound, while the built-in battery provides an impressive 20 hours of playback time. And if you need to top up your mobile device, there's a convenient USB-C port for charging. One of the most impressive features of the SoundLink Max is its ability to reproduce full, natural sound regardless of its orientation.
So whether you're laying it flat or standing it upright, you can expect the same high-quality audio experience. And for those of you who love a good dance party, the SoundLink Max has a shortcut button that can be customized to enable Spotify Tap, making it easier than ever to get the music going.
Price and Availability
Now, let's address the elephant in the room - the price. At $399, the SoundLink Max is definitely on the pricier side of portable speakers. But in my opinion, the sound quality and durability make it worth the investment. Plus, it's only $50 more than the Sonos Move 2, which is another top contender for best outdoor speaker.
