The sun is officially shining and it's the perfect time to get out and about. And, it turns out, it's also the perfect time to invest in one of the best outdoor speakers to bring the tunes.
Right now, our favorite premium pick, the five-star and hugely likeable Bose SoundLink Max, has dropped to just $349 at Amazon.
It's worth noting that while the discount doesn't apply to the Black model, it does apply to two colors that are perfect for spring and summer – Blue Dusk and Citrus Yellow. So, grab it while you can.
The five-star Bose SoundLink Max serves up a powerful, musical sound that really mixes it with the best of them. And we're happy to recommend it as one of the best Bluetooth speakers on the market right now.
The Max is built to go pretty much anywhere, which is great news for the hotter months of the year. It's water and dust-proof thanks to an IP67 rating and is pleasingly tactile and rugged to boot.
It's not the most lightweight option, weighing in at 21.3kg, but it's easy to hold and packed with premium features. One of which is the impressive battery life, giving users a claimed 20 hours, depending on how you use it.
The Bose SoundLink Max supports Bluetooth 5.3 and has a claimed range of 30ft (9m) for when you're out and about. Plus, aptX Adaptive Bluetooth codec support and Google Fast Pair (for Android users) are both on board, as well as Bluetooth multipoint for connecting two devices simultaneously and switching between them whenever you fancy.
And when it comes to sound, the Max impresses. Our expert testers said: "The Soudlink Max shouldn’t have any issues getting the party started – thanks, in the main, to its lively, punchy delivery. The speaker’s expressive midrange enthusiastically sprays out lead vocals, while every thwack of (a) drum kit is dispatched with force and vigour. There's an energy to the performance that is easy to tap into and makes for a hugely enjoyable listen".
Though they did also note that it is very bassy out of the box. All you need to fix that is a bit of tweaking, turning the bass setting down to around minus five or six for a better-balanced and less overpowering sound.
So, it sounds great and it looks great. You can't argue with that. And you certainly can't argue with the price tag either, just $349 at Amazon before it's too late.
