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
You should spend half as much on the Sonos One
Expensive
Heavyweight with a massive footprint
US-only
Variable volume in playlists
Not much good for a nonGoogle user
Smart speaker privacy concerns
Better for some music genres than others
Less well balanced sound than Apple HomePod
Not as refined as the Sonos Play
5
More expensive than HomePod
Quite heavy at 11 pounds
Some minor connectivity issues with the app
Can't work as a wireless TV sound bar
£400 is a bit steep and £800 for separated stereo is just stupid
Maximum sound, Easy to setup, Built-in Google Assistant
Expensive, Heavyweight with a massive footprint, US-only
At $399, the Google Home Max isn't exactly budget, and with such a large footprint it's a whole different prospect to the easy-to-place Home and Home Mini. It's clearly a speaker for those who are married to Google and its ecosystem - you want Google Assi...

Abstract: The weird thing about picking up the Google Home Max is the weight. It's only 11 pounds, but it feels heavy, the way speakers used to feel. So I feel like I smirked when I plugged it in, thinking, “This thing's gonna be loud.” At top volume, the Google Ho...

Yes. The Google Home Max is the smart speaker of choice for those who want huge sound for a seriously fun time...
Abstract: When I first heard the Google Home Max in action, I actually rocked back in my seat. One thing's for sure: Google's new premium smart speaker produces powerful sound. To be fair, we were in a pretty small room in the company's headquarters in Mountain Vie...
At $399 it would be irresponsible of us to recommend the Google Home Max without having tested its audio quality. In any case, we expect the Max will appeal to only a select group of users with particularly keen ears, and that for most users the standard...
Simple design blends in, Truly powerful, Separates the lows, mids, highs with a knife
More expensive than HomePod, Quite heavy at 11 pounds
While not for everyone, the Home Max takes your tunes to the next level with strong and intelligent hardware. Both Google and Apple are offering similar speakers, but we're not sure yet which is the best option for most...
