Headphones are great, but if you want to enjoy your music with others, a Bluetooth speaker is a no-brainer. Bose makes some of our favorite audio gear, and one of its speakers is available at a price you can’t afford to ignore right now. Act fast, and you’ll get the Bose SoundLink Max Bluetooth speaker for just $279, a new low for this device.
That price is available on the blue dusk and citrus yellow versions, but you’ll pay an extra $20 if you choose the black one. They’re all the same under the hood, so it’s worth considering color availability when ordering. But we don’t know how long this deal will last, so ordering sooner rather than later is definitely the play here.
The Bose SoundLink Max is one of our favorite speakers, thanks to its durability. It has a battery life of up to 20 hours for reliable sound during get-togethers or even camping and outdoor travels. It sounds great with Bose’s signature sound engineering for crisp bass and immersive sound.
You can customize your sound experience using the Bose app, so you can enjoy your favorite audio on your own terms. Want to listen outdoors or near water? The SoundLink Max is IP67‑rated waterproof and dustproof, so you won’t have to worry about beach parties, splashes or light rain.
The speaker has a rope handle at the top for easy transport. It also includes an auxiliary input, which lets you play your favorite songs from MP3 players, CD players or even turntables. Plus, you can charge devices with the included USB‑C input, so your phone won’t lose power while you stream your favorite playlist.
Our CNET expert David Carnoy notes in his review that “this is an exceedingly well-designed portable speaker that’s essentially a mini boom box thanks to its rope handle.”

With $120 off (down from $399 to $279), you’re saving a solid chunk on this speaker and getting it at a price we don’t expect to be beaten anytime soon.
