The holidays are just about here, and if you’re still looking for some holiday sales to treat those nearest and dearest, there are still some deals out there. Those looking for high quality audio gear shouldn’t pass over the Bose holiday sale. It’s well worth a look and one of our favorite Bluetooth speakers is discounted 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. And you can get free 2-day shipping with Bose and Amazon Prime, ensuring it arrives by Christmas.
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.

Why this deal matters
Bose is featured across the majority of our audio-related best lists and we’re big fans of its devices. However, its wares are not on the cheap end, so buying when there’s savings available is wise. With 25% off, you’re saving a huge chunk on this speaker and getting it for its best-ever price.
