Why You Can Trust CNET Bose Holiday Sale Takes $100 Off the SoundLink Max Portable Speaker for a Limited Time
Nab one of the best-sounding Bluetooth speakers on the market at a low price that matches what we saw on Black Friday.
December is upon us, and if you're still looking for some holiday sales to treat those nearest and dearest, there are still plenty of deals out there. If premium audio gear is what you're after, the Bose holiday sale is well worth a look, discounting one of our favorite Bluetooth speakers by 25%. The Bose SoundLink Max portable Bluetooth usually costs $399, but is $100 off right now. That's the same record-low price we saw during recent Black Friday sales, but it likely won't return for a while after the holiday season is done.
Available in black or blue dusk color designs, the Bose SoundLink Max is one of our favorite speakers. It has a battery life of up to 20 hours for reliable sound during long holiday 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 to music outdoors or near water? The Bose SoundLink Max is IP67 rated, making it waterproof and dustproof so you won't have to worry about beach parties, a splash of water or even some light rain.
