Yea I don’t know I’m not having the issues you are with the max or the app hmmm

Due to its heavy bass sound signature, these seem more like indoor speakers as opposed to outdoor speakers. It just seems like a person would benefit more by using it in home.

I have more bose products when it comes to headphones and home audio. I have ue products when it comes to bt speakers. My favorite party speaker for size and price is the hyperboom does not distortion at 100% any music I throw at it. Off-topic car audio Rockford Fosgate has been my favorite.

Super hot speaker comparison video. 👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Well I reckon we got our first real good honest review of it LOL. How does the size compared to let's say a boom 2? Do I appreciate your review cuz I figured it was a lot of hype 400 bucks

The Soundlink Max does sound good until you get to higher volume levels. The $400 price tag is pretty ridiculous. I'll probably put it up against the $129 Soundcore Boom 2 soon. 😉

I may put the Max up against the Boom 2 this weekend.

I think your max might be faulty, I played my MAX at max volume with EQ bass mid treble set at the highest and didn’t distort like urs did. And I played it at max volume outside for 3 hours while playing basketball and 1 hours with friends outside. I just listened your video using headphones and your max indeed distorts like crazy, which is little mind boggling to me.

I have a Sonos move 2. It’s a good speaker as well. I’d say the soundstage on the Max Is better due to the 3 band EQ they have available. If Sonos were to add a third MID-frequency band. It would make it better. Plus the Sonos is WiFi and Bluetooth as well.

I NEVER play my speakers at 100%. Problem is, music is never recorded at the same volume or quality either

Hmm, I've run a lot of Bluetooth speakers at max volume. Why the 100% warning? I've ran the W-King T11 in TWS mode at full blast outdoors several times and no issues. Same with TWS Partybox 310 and 110. Heck, even Soundboks encourages their customers to not go to 10 on the volume dial, but 11.🤪 These are Bluetooth speakers, not high end audiophile equipment costing big $$$.

I agree. I hear a lot of folks say it’s “loud” and playing a speaker at max is never the right thing to do. The soundstage will change for any speaker.. especially portable, bookshelf, smart speakers if played at max volume.

@@JaysStraightUpReviews the limiters come on. If you listen closely (and haven't destroyed your hearing yet), you'll hear the bass come down under 300-500Hz in both speakers. It will sound flappy, distorted, etc. But what happens to the highs? They maintain themselves alright. That's on purpose! Max volume is no way to assess sound quality. If you're looking for ear destroying clarity in speaker, you'll have to move over to professional grade products, not lifestyle audio products.

@@Gravity_Ghost The speaker goes from sounding nice to bad as you cross over to the higher volume levels with bass music. I'm not sure what you are hearing yourself, but the DSP is usually applied to reign in the bass to protect the drivers. JBL is pretty famous for this and some people criticize JBL for reducing bass, but it does keep their speakers from being over-driven and distorting. That's not happening here with the Bose Max. And it's not "clarity" that is the issue here. Why don't you go over to Flossy Carter's channel and argue with him. He likes to run everything at max volume. 🤣

I have a bunch of really good speakers of all different brands. Jbl, bose, marshall, soundcore, B&O ect. They ALL sound like crap at max volume as they are not made to be listened to at that level. I have the new bose MAX and i absolutely love it. If u can afford it , its worth the money to me. Very clean clear sound quality. No app necessary. Gets plenty loud enough without being at max volume. Of course theres plenty of cheaper louder options. But dont think for second that the MAX is not a great speaker. Sure its overpriced. Its BOSE. Not budget friendly company.

I've listened to the Bose Soundlink Max with music that doesn't have a lot of bass and it won't distort like it does with bass music, of course. It does get pretty harsh at max volume with most anything, however. I think Bose should have used some DSP to reign in the bass at higher volume levels, because I can see the speaker being damaged or blown if people try to bump their bass heavy music at higher volumes with this speaker.

The EpicBoom doesn't have a good upper range and the clarity is lacking. I have the upper range increased quite a bit in the app EQ.

It's clear that you can't provide a technical explanation of what's going on. Your measurements are completely subjective to the music dynamics and your limited knowledge of audio engineering. The Bose speaker is not "struggling", it's protecting itself and you! You've pushed it so hard, the limiters come on, and that's what you're calling "breaking up". Limiters are employed to 1.) protect the battery life, battery temperatures, safety reasons, etc, 2.) to protect your drivers from over-excursion and physically destroying themselves. Why you reviewers think that max volume tells you anything about the audio quality is beyond me. No stereo system sounds good near or at max due to the THD+N distortion alone. Everyone employs protections on the their speakers and batteries in different ways. Look up "audio limiters" and understand how they work before you make another video involving battery powered speakers. You might also want a refresher on how lithium batteries work, and why portable speakers sound horrible at max volume.

@JaysStraightUpReviews

Ай бұрын

You must be confused. The speaker IS NOT protecting itself, which one would expect it would do. It's being allowed to play to a level at which is not safe for the drivers. The UE Epicboom, which was also in this video, had a similar issue when it came out. UE addressed the problem and via firmware update the issue was mostly resolved. Hopefully, Bose can take the same path and button up the sound on this at higher volumes. I really think it sounds nice and I like the overall speaker itself, it just struggles when you get past around 70-75% even with it's app EQ as flat. And as far as all Bluetooth speakers sounding horrible at max volume, no, that simply isn't the case. Not sure where you came up with that. 🤔
