Should you buy it?
Buy the SoundLink Max if you want premium sound in a speaker you can take anywhere: reviewers praised its powerful, tight bass, clear highs, stereo playback, a fully waterproof and shock-resistant build, a replaceable rope handle, aptX support, an adjustable EQ and up to 20 hours of battery life. Skip it if you want a light or cheap speaker, because it's heavy and expensive. There's no microphone for calls, and the rubberized finish collects dust.
Best for
Listeners who want premium portable sound outdoors.
Not for
Budget buyers and anyone who wants speakerphone.
