Sound quality: Bose's Soundlink Max had very good overall sound quality - although it has some noticeable sonic quirks, this model reproduces music and dialog very well. Bass has good impact and goes fairly deep, but is a bit prominent and somewhat boomy. Midrange is fairly even, but is a bit hazy and touch grainy. Treble is extended, but is a touch subdued and a bit smeared. It does a decent job of recovering room ambience and is a bit congested. Provides a decent volume level in a large sized room but can get harsh at louder volumes.
