The editors didn't like
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: The days of buying devices or smart assistants will be over soon enough. Amazon and Google have both made clear their intention to make their respective AI device agnostic, so the days of the standalone Google Home or Amazon Echo might well be numbered...
The Google Home Max is big & loud home speaker ideal for larger rooms like the living room or basement or any other bigger areas where you entertain. Whether you view it as just a larger Google Home or the company's entry into smart speaker big boy territ...
Abstract: Until I tried the Google Home Max, I had never met a smart speaker that brought a smile to my face just by turning up its volume. I was awash in the thumping bass from Zedd's “Clarity,” and it felt like my apartment's living room was in the middle of a n...

Loud, full sound, Google Assistant integration, Can be paired in stereo configurations or multiroom setups, Cast support enables playback from many streaming services
Doesn't sound as good as comparable Sonos speaker, It's expensive, Touch controls are finicky, Microphones have trouble hearing voice commands when music is playing loudly
Excellent sound quality, Simple setup, All the features of the Google Assistant, Tasteful design, 3.5mm jack and Bluetooth support for additional audio devices
Expensive, especially for a stereo pair, Somewhat limited streaming service selection (but at least it has Spotify), Third-party support still trails Amazon's Alexa ecosystem
If you're looking for a voice-activated speaker and want excellent sound quality, the Google Home Max is the best option on the market. It's expensive, but you get a lot for your money. If you want great audio and don't want to mess around with more compl...
Good sound for music, AI-enhanced "smart sound" adjusts to the environment, Superb far-field microphones, Fills a hole in the top end of the lineup
Volume swipe is clunky, at best, Doesn't fix the flaws in Google Home's ecosystem, The color and design are a bit drab for a speaker, Doesn't stand out amid other ways to do music at home
Google Home Max is really good. But there are better alternatives.But there's nothing revolutionary here. There's nothing in Google Home Max that I can't do as well - if not better - than with, say, a Sonos setup. Or with a decent home theater system. And...

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, you should spend half as much on the Sonos One
Although too expensive for mass appeal, the Google Home Max is the best-sounding smart speaker yet...
Abstract: Google Home Max is in the building! Ours actually arrived last night, but we hadn't found the time to set it up until this morning, so we did that by unboxing and giving it a first listen on camera.To recap, Google Home Max is Google's first Hi-Fi speaker...
Abstract: Early reviews of the Home Max's sound quality are impressive. The device uses a pair of 4.5-inch woofers and 0.7-inch tweeters that, when matched to the device's "Smart Sound" technology, adapts music playback to fit the size of the room and is sure to le...
