Expensive
Google's audio prowess remains to be seen (and heard)
Excellent audio reproduction, Strong smart home chops, Powerful amplifiers
Not sonically superior to the more-expensive (and dumb) Sonos Play:5, Unnecessarily verbose responses to verbal commands, There are no display-equipped speakers in the Google Home ecosystem (yet)
The Google Home Max is the best-sounding smart speaker on the market, but there are plenty of “dumb” powered speakers that sound better...
Abstract: The rise of the smart home speaker has spawned an entire market of options, from the Amazon Echo to the diminutive Home Mini. These are consumer-friendly gadgets designed to blend in with your home's decor, always at-the-ready when you need to set a timer...
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...

Great sound, Audio-in lets you use Max as a TV speaker, Booming audio
Expensive, Large
Overall, I was very impressed with the Google Home Max. It delivers booming audio, lets you connect it to your TV, and can control your smart home devices via Google Assistant. However, at $400, it's twice as expensive as the Alexa-equipped Sonos One, and...
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...
