Arriving on May 16, the larger option costs $399.
The noise-cancelling headphones that Bose produces may be the brand’s most well-known product, but the company also produces premium portable Bluetooth speakers. In point of fact, the company’s SoundLink Flex was included on our list of the best Bluetooth speakers because it is an excellent choice among competitors offered at the same price range. The firm is expanding its SoundLink collection with the introduction of the SoundLink Max, which is the brand’s most powerful portable Bluetooth speaker to date and costs $399. Although the basic design is comparable to that of past Bose products, this model features a larger sound and a longer battery life than its predecessors, despite having a larger frame.
According to Bose, the SoundLink Max is equipped with three transducers and two passive radiators, which together provide “a spacious stereo experience” that includes bass performance that is comparable to that of an even larger speaker. This portable unit, according to the business, utilises technology that is generally utilised in its soundbars and combines that technology with digital signal processing in order to minimise distortion and achieve “full, natural sound” across all genres. Bose guarantees that you will be able to hear every component of a song in a clear and unmistakable manner, regardless of the musical style and regardless of the location of the speaker. The Bose app will also allow you to change the lows, mids, and highs depending on your tastes, in the event that the standard tuning does not meet your requirements.
The powder-coated, silicone-wrapped steel casing that Bose chose for the SoundLink Max is said to have a more refined appearance, according to the firm. Additionally, the speaker has an IP67 rating, which means that it should not be affected by dust, water, rust, or dropping it. As a result of all of these factors, the Max is an excellent choice for usage in the great outdoors, and when you do take it with you, you won’t have to worry about recharging it very frequently. It is claimed by Bose that the SoundLink Max has a battery life of up to twenty hours, and if necessary, it can also charge your phone with a USB-C cable. There is a retractable rope handle that will help with transporting the headphones, but Bose also manufactures a carrying strap that can be worn over the shoulder if you prefer to carry them.
Snapdragon Sound, which allows more constant connectivity with modern Android smartphones, and aptX Adaptive, which gives higher music quality over Bluetooth, are both included in the SoundLink Max. Both of these features are equipped throughout the device. Additionally, Google Fast Pair and Bluetooth 5.3 are both supported by the speaker.
Today is the first day that Bose is accepting pre-orders for the SoundLink Max, and the speaker is scheduled to be sent on May 16th. With a price tag of $399, it is not only the most costly portable Bluetooth unit offered by the firm, but it also holds the title of being the largest portable Bluetooth unit offered by the company. There is also the SoundLink Micro ($99), SoundLink Flex ($119), and SoundLink Mini II ($149) that can be purchased from Bose if you are seeking for something that is more compact.
