So the Bose Soundlink Max is a very premium feeling speaker, I really appreciate that it still has an audio jack and I like that you can use its USB C port to charge your own devices. However relative to its size and price and overall performance, I feel the Bose Soundlink Max is over priced and hard to justify. But today we’re going to see how the Bose Soundlink Max stacks up to both the JBL Boombox 3 and Sony ULT 7 which aren’t far off from the Bose Soundlink Max.

I got the bose max i don't care about the price i care about the size and sound quality that it has!

You are comparing an 18-wheeler to an SUV. Bose is about portability. I wanna see you fit the Sony or JBL in your backpack. Your custom EQ doesn't help the Bose. You just made it sound worse.

Huge size difference. The bose max has better sound overall. Ive heard all these in person and its sounds alot different than through headphones. The sony is trash, loud boomy and unenjoyable to listen to. The JBL boombox is great but way huge compared to the MAX. Not comparable. Bose MAX is their best release as far as portable speaker, just not a budget friendly price. Gotta hear it in person . Its great. Very impressive sound for the size. Its only overpriced if u cant afford it. The JBL boombox blows it away but come on, its way bigger and heavier

I have the boom box 3 WiFi and the Bose sound link max and I have to say that the sound quality of the Bose is lot better than the boombox. But the sound of the boombox is laughter than the Bose. if I will have a party on my backyard I would use the boombox but for everything else (indoor/ beach/ travel ect the Bose is my must.

Of course Bose can't compete with JBL or Sony, but by correcting the bass on Bose, you've ruined its sound. You should have left the factory settings and set all three speakers to 100%. 👎🏽

For most speaker reviews like this, I get amazed by how _loud_ people want their speakers to be. Are people in general that poor of hearing? Indoors, I rarely have the Bose Soundlink Max above 40% volume and I don't think I've even tried it above 80% volume - it gets plenty loud already. Outdoors, you don't have walls to keep the sound in, obviously, but I've never been in an area where I can crank it up without disturbing people around me, so I still don't need more volume. Maybe someday I will, but not sure what situation that would be.

It IS pricy though, but what you pay for is to have deeper base and good quality sound in a smaller package, while still having a pretty impressive soundstage for its size. If extreme volume is all you want, go for something bigger.

I just looked up the specs and the Soundlink Max only has 460mAh battery. WTF? Even the much smaller JBL Charge 5 has a 7500 mAh battery. I was pretty keen on this speaker but that makes me pause. I have heard that it can drain in as little as 3 hours when cranking it

[davitsardaryan]

I thought the compact speakers were meant to be COMPACT !!! JBL and Sony have to triple the size of the BOSE to get close to it and still, I'm sure the sound quality of the BOSE is better. I have the Soundlink Flex, which is superb for its size. But still, I am a person who prefers the sound quality over the loudness.

[hpereira]

I have Bose products at home. I do wish multiple bose products can pair up together. But I bought it for the size, and the sound for the size i love and enjoy. I feel you are comparing 2 full size pickups vs 1 small compact pickup in performance. Now, if Bose had a speaker of that size, sure dollar pricepoint would surely go up, but the size of the bigger speakers SHOULD outweigh the Bose in bass performance i.e. However, good vid but unfair comparison. Sony and JBL speakers here are just too damn big. For the size of the Bose, it packs a punch and that is what i was looking for. $400, sure steep. But I use it daily and will get my money's worth. Over all, i am happy with the Bose and give 9 out of 10 stars fro the size, needs multiple pairing Bose speakers options for surround sound like other brands.

gymcaddy can you please review the skullcandy barrel xt

[YupengZhai]

My Opinion: Ult 7: Very good, most close to the original song, JBL Boombox: not bad, but lacking a bit of bass and too much mid range in my opnion, Bose: Sounds BAD af for the price, sounds compressed and has most definately a compressor built in, very obvious in 9:55 while all the others play it seemingly easily

[xyzed]

why are you making it v shaped by you are completely changing its sound signature!!

[delta_cosmic]

If the jbl xtreme 4 already beats the bose soundlink max, then how much more the jbl boombox 4 and sony ult 7?

[rlowle]

Seems like the only portable speaker is the bose. The other 2 are TOO BIG.

I recommend the Bose. That dude looked silly lugging that huge speaker around.

[josephsalustro]

Good comparison! This is what I wanted to see
The Bose against JBL, Sony

[radoslaw]

1 Sony
2 Jbl

















3 Bose

[martinmarinelarena]

I think the Sony ult field 7 should take on the Jbl club 120 and 320. More in its size and weight class.

[HarelGaming]

price is similar but osunt is not. on good headphones the bose sound like the music is coming from the neighbors

[coltonbriggs]

Overpriced
You ain’t lying
I’ll wait for black Friday
