Rare Bose SoundLink Max bargain just popped up at Amazon

If you're looking for a truly powerful portable Bluetooth speaker with a compact build, the Bose SoundLink Max is my top recommendation. Right now, this model is on sale at Amazon, where you can grab select color options for $89 off.

Although the same model was brought to its lowest price during June's Prime Day event, this is its first significant discount after the savings spree. So, if you missed out during the event, now's the perfect time to upgrade your audio experience at a more reasonable price.

• Just a heads up: if you'd rather grab a proper boombox-style model, consider the JBL Boombox 4, which is now $100 cheaper at Amazon.

Even though this unit weighs 4.6 lbs, it's still among some of the more compact models in its price range. Plus, thanks to its attachable rope handle, it's much easier to carry when you're in the park or by the lake.

Despite its relatively compact build, this device is quite rugged. It packs an IP67 rating, protecting it from water and dust ingress, while the rubber finish helps it withstand accidental drops.

Audio quality is pretty good as well. The SoundLink Max gives you a rich, room-filling sound with enough bass to keep the show going without muddying up the mix. In the companion app, you can find several equalizer presets, as well as a fairly basic three-band equalizer.

By the way, this Bose speaker can also double as a power bank, allowing you to charge your phone through USB-C while streaming your favorite tunes. Just keep in mind that it uses its internal battery for charging, so juicing your devices will diminish the advertised 20-hour listening time.

If that doesn't sound like a dealbreaker to you, chances are you'd be more than happy with what the SoundLink Max delivers across the board. Grab yours now and save $89 at Amazon.
