Tivoli Audio SongBook Max Portable Bluetooth Speaker with FM Tuner - Black

I haven’t seen HiFi used in an ad for speakers in decades. My eyes saw HiFi and read WiFi so now I’m stuck with a Bluetooth speaker.

The SongBook Max delivers the best in sound quality and is coupled with a great design. A true merger of esthetics. Well Done Tivoli

Wow, superb sound, really superb sound, best radio ive ever heard. Reception is stellar. Bluetooth perfect. Looks classy . A work of art. So impressed , i highly recommend.

the Tivoli SongBook Max is a glorious, quirky, premium piece of audio gear. I delayed buying it for almost 2 years. Now that I own it, the question is why? Truth is - in the world of cheap, disposable consumer electronics, it’s expensive. In the case of the SongBook Max, it’s never been more true that “You get what you pay for”. The sound quality is outstanding. Powerful, clear, premium sound. Build quality is exemplary, and the aesthetics are gorgeous. It’s physical art that you can listen to. I heard a quote years ago that I think perfectly sums up the SongBook Max - “When something is thoroughly well done, it often has the air of being a miracle”. A truly outstanding product that I’m overjoyed to own!

I’m happy with this but have to cover the really annoying bright flashing LED light that’s on the front and center of the unit. Weird design choice for a design oriented company. Please update so I can disable the light. I shouldn’t have to cover it.

When it dies you can’t play until it charges enough

A very pleasing visual design, coupled with deep, rich sound.

My Tivoli is amazing the sound is spectacular, rich sounds. I love it 🥰

The user controls are very easy to use and rugged from the power switch onward. Excellent sound quality, though could use a touch more high frequency response, even with the tone controls set to highest. I haven't used the aux in for an instrument yet, but the capability of doing so makes it a nice package overall.

Just received my SongBook MAX today. First impressions: the packaging was excellent, the build quality appears to be high with a solid feel of all dials and switches, and great sound (not an audiophile here, but the sound is rich and deep). Also can’t stop looking at the design. I love it.

The sound quality is great and connecting my phone was quick and easy. The disappointment is that I needed to purchase my own charger for it. At this price point I would expect that to be included in the box.

Every knob, switch and detail is well made and carefully considered. The audio quality is great, which deep bass. The battery life is seemingly great, but there’s only 3 battery bars and no percentage. So it’s not easy to see exactly how much juice is left. It charges quickly through USB C though, so I’m not concerned. I was tempted to buy an old school boombox, but this quickly changed my mind. I have no regrets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The audio quality is impressive as are the esthetics. I would have given it 5 stars but for one annoying and potentially harmful flaw: when switching to or from bluetooth the volume increases to as high as 33 which is extremely loud, particularly as this happens when you are right next to the unit. The first time it happened , my ears rang for 3 days. I almost returned the purchase, and still might, for this reason. My hesitation is that it excels in all other respects. The only workaround seems to be to always watch the volume when switching sources, which is ridiculous.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's absolutely beautiful and the stylish sides give it a classic style from an earlier era.

Just got my SongBook from my beloved for Christmas. We have so many speakers, stereos, etc & it was so so hard saying goodbye to my 1980s era boombox, but man is the SongBook the real deal. Such full rich sound, so many options & the design is everything the future promised minus the jetpacks & flying cars. Simply perfect - thanks you

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Only disappointment is that from the speaker layout I though this was stereo, rather than mono with dedicated 4” mid and sub.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is its own sound different from the other high end Music System Home Gen 2. It "eschews" separation. It opts for density and brightness. That is its signature. Also, this power the MAX uses through which it achieves the brightness and density works at different volumes. That is cool. Finally, it gives a punch to recordings that are a little lackluster to begin with. It makes me enjoy these not so lossless recordings more. Thank you.
