Bose’s new SoundLink Max has a little handle and big sound
Say what you will about Bose’s more ambitious swings — I appreciate that it takes them in the first place — but today, the company is releasing a new product in a category that it’s always been pretty excellent at: Bluetooth speakers. Bose is more or less supersizing its SoundLink Flex into a new, larger model called the SoundLink Max. Considering how Bose’s acoustic processing has for years squeezed impressive sound out of relatively small hardware, I’m excited to hear what a bigger device is capable of.
Coming May 16th for a price of $399, the new speaker is loaded with three transducers and two custom-designed passive radiators. So right there, you’re already in for quite an improvement over the mono SoundLink Flex.
