In time for that elegant slip into summer, Bose has created the SoundLink Max, a new portable speaker designed for parties on the move.
What’s a beach BBQ, a junk party or any summertime gathering for that matter, without decent tunes? Music is hardwired into our souls, whether you love vintage hip hop or feel the need to sway to some contemporary house. And to be able to take those tunes on the move, wherever the party takes you, you’ll need the right portable speaker.

The new SoundLink Max leverages decades of Bose research in acoustics as well as the company’s Articulated Array – three transducers across the front of the speaker – to deliver incredible audio performance that will help get the party started and keep it going. Two custom-designed passive radiators are responsible for providing a level of bass performance that will have the neighbours complaining, while tech found in Bose soundbars and proprietary digital signal processing dramatically minimises distortion, ensuring that the speaker reproduces full, natural sound regardless of what you’re listening to.
For added audio personalisation, you can also adjust your listening experience with Adjustable EQ settings available in the Bose app, including bass, mid-range, and treble.

In terms of connectivity, the speaker uses Bluetooth 5.3 and supports SBC and AAC codec standards for compatibility with nearly all Bluetooth devices. There’s even an AUX input that lets you enjoy tunes by connecting an audio jack to wired playback sources such as turntables and MP3 or CD players – a shortcut button on the speaker can be used for AUX switching or customised to enable Spotify Tap.
Beyond the tech, the SoundLink Max has a refined design with a powder-coated, silicone-wrapped steel enclosure that’s built to withstand bumps, drops, and bangs – it won’t peel or flake, and is resistant to corrosion and UV light. An IP67 rating protects against water, dust, rust, and shocks, so you don’t have to worry about where you take it or use it — by the pool, on the boat, at the beach or park.

Weighing in at just under 2.27kg, the SoundLink Max has an integrated, removable rope handle so it’s easy to pick up and take with you while four optional colour handle accessories and two standard colour scheme – black and blue dusk – allow you to customise your speaker’s look.
Finally, the SoundLink Max can keep the music going from day to night with up to 20 hours of battery life, and if your phone battery starts to run low, the USB-C port lets you charge your mobile device, so you don’t lose your tunes.
