Why we picked it

Let's face it, we've all had that moment: you're at a picnic, and someone tries to play music through their phone's tinny little speaker. Cringe-worthy! Luckily, the Bose SoundLink Max is here to save us from such sonic horrors. Not quite the main act-because let's be honest, the high-end audiophile gear steals that show-but it's the reliable supporting character that brings a whole lot of joy to the plot.

As a portable speaker, it does all the good stuff: it's waterproof, has impressive battery life, and sounds absolutely wonderful. You can take it on a trip, or just round to a friend's garden party to drown out any potential awkward silences.

So, whenever you need a backup to your primary music device, this little gem steps in flawlessly, providing quality sound without the faff. Who knew feeling sophisticated while sipping cheap wine could come so easy?

The Irresistible

  • Incredible sound quality that would impress even your snobbiest friends.
  • Solid 20-hour battery life-perfect for those long binge-listening sessions.
  • IP67 waterproof rating means it's ready for anything, including your kitchen disco.

The Clever Part

  • USB-C charging makes it future-proof for all your gadgets.
  • Built-in AUX input? Yes, please! Great for connecting older devices.
  • The compact design and carry rope make it a travel buddy you won't mind lugging around.

The Fine Print

  • No voice assistant built-in-it's not going to tell you the weather while you blast tunes.
  • The price tag might make you wince, especially with those cheaper options around.
  • While it's decent in mid-range, serious bassheads might find it lacking.

The Reality Check

  • It's a little on the heavy side for a truly portable speaker-walking around with weights isn't ideal.
  • The blue colour? A bit much if you're a fan of understated gadgets. Go bold or go home, I suppose!
