The sound can be a little too revealing
And guitar lines in particular can sound a little too piercing for comfort. If you mainly want background music
Abstract: So, you've narrowed your smart speaker choices down to the top two high-end models: the Google Home Max that came to market in late 2017, and the Amazon Echo Studio that came two years later. You have good taste, my friend. These are both very fine speake...

So we come to the big question: should you buy the Max At the end of the day, it's a little too expensive to recommend it for most people. It's just hard to find a real use case for Max. Are you going to have a loud party where controlling a speaker with...

Home Max setup only takes a few minutes, and you're ready to rock, Very clear, loud playback with big bass and highs. Google's EQ is pleasing to my ears. The AUX port is a nice touch if you have other devices to plug in, It's big and heavy, but the fabric
The touch bar is a bit clunky, At $400, this seems like a Google vanity project
The Google Home Max is the best-sounding smart speaker you can purchase right now. It has all the same Assistant capabilities as the smaller members of the Home family, but the audio quality is fantastic. Tracks sound crisp, and the bass is powerful witho...
