If you care about audio fidelity and don’t mind spending the money to get the best sound quality available, the Home Max is your best bet.

Consumer Reports

The Google Home Max is the best-sounding smart speaker we've tested.  It's a bit expensive compared with other smart speakers, but it offers powerful, extended bass, crystalline high notes, and unusually good stereo imaging from a single enclosure, all while pumping out enough volume to fill a large room. (It doesn't, however, quite match the sound of the very best non-smart wireless speakers.)  In addition to providing high-quality sound, our testers found the Home Max, which incorporates Google Assistant, to be plenty smart. So whether dad wants to hear the score of last night's Detroit Tigers game or listen to tunes like "Eye of the Tiger," the Home Max delivers.

 And then they went on the other side of the spectrum and introduced this guy the Google Home Max. and at the time it launched it for hundred dollars and a lot of people wondered whether or not they should even buy it or what exactly it was for. But now that it's been a couple years since it's come out and we've had one in the office and used it every day since we wanted to revisit it and see, is it still worth buying? [Music] Today's video is brought to you by Nord VPN and there the VPN of choice for millions of consumers. mainly because they're awesome at doing what they're supposed to do, which is keeping your browsing safe and secure whether you're at home or out on the go

 Meaning, some stuff can be stored internally on this thing so that it can pull up some responses a little bit quicker than normal. It can also be paired up with like speakers, so if you had two of these here in the Google home app, you could actually set them up as a stereo pair and stand them up on their edges and get full stereo separation. Another trick that it has that's probably my favorite thing that it does is the ability to use the microphones onboard to real-time adapt to the room that it's in. So whether you take it outside or it's in a garage, or you have it on a shelf, it knows how to listen to the environment around it, hear the bass response that's coming back off the walls, and then adjust an EQ itself to sound the best that it can in any given room

 So if you're thinking about getting a smart speaker, you want something that sounds really awesome and has a nice set of connectivity features. This thing still does it in 2020 and it's still gonna do it for a long time. I Mean there's really nothing aging on this speaker and we love it. maybe more now than we did, even when it launched

 you're not going to get some wide stereo separation or any folk surround sound, but in general it just sounds really awesome. And the final connectivity option that most people don't even know on this thing is it has bluetooth. Now there's no button on here, so there's no quick way to turn it on. but in the Google home app, you connect to it, go to the settings and click enable bluetooth pairing

Is the Google Home Max Still Worth It??

Also, when I want to play my music on my phone from Spotify to google home, it really hit or miss. It says it's connecting but doesn't get really connect. Then if I say, play this song on Spotify, then that song will play on Spotify which is really annoying. 

 You can also assume, of course, that Google's own speakers will get new features first (that's what has happened with Alexa speakers). Unless the Link is compellingly better, audio-wise, the Max is a safer bet.

Yes, you can absolutely get an Amazon Echo Dot and connect it to one of those other wireless speakers, or even make a whole-home system out of speakers wearing Echo Dot hats. But there's a lot to be said for simplicity and elegant design.

 It's rather heavy, weighing in at 11.7 pounds, but that's fine since it isn't meant to be portable.

Google Home Max Review

I tell GH to play "music for sleeping". I have previously marked a specific playlist as my favorite. Lately, GH starts playing a classical music PL. I explicitly tell her not to play it and she says "Okay, here's a classical musical PL..." and restarts the same PL. Rinse and repeat. I specifically say "Do NOT play classical music!" and sure enough she starts playing the same classical PL.

I tell here to play my favorite sleeping PL and shes says "I can't find deviantkindle's sleeping PL."

How do I get here to listen to me? She seems to have gotten even dumber lately.

I think she needs reset on the server-side but how do I do that?

Edit 1: a word

DK: OK, Google, play music for sleeping&quot;

GH: &quot;Okay, here&#39;s a classical musical PL...&quot;

DK: &quot;Do NOT play classical music!&quot; 

&lt;wait several minutes...&gt; &lt;-- workaround

DK: OK, Google, play music for sleeping&quot;

GH: &quot;Okay, here&#39;s a PL called &#39;8 Hour,...P071 ...&quot;

What the waiting period does I can&#39;t fathom.

WTF is wrong with GH these days? She refuses to listen.

The Google Home Max is a beast of a smart speaker. In CNET's review, editor Ty Pendlebury was effusive about the superb sound, excellent microphones (for hearing you even when music is blasting) and ability to fill even a large room with sound. He lamented its price, though, which he characterized as "too expensive for mass appeal." (Read his Google Home Max review to learn more

I wanted to like it and I hope it's just broken; there is a scratching noise coming from one of the tweeters shortly after pausing. But I still don't think that would fix the "electronically amplified" sound of the speaker. The best analogy I can offer is that it sounds like a bloated burlap pillow. 

I crave great audio all around my home, all the time; it's a great change to the numb normalcy of daily pandemic life. 

At the start of the pandemic, I caught the audiophile bug. I ended up with a Sony AVR and XTZ Sound Spirit 4 Bookshelf speakers. For now I am really happy with this and it's lovely to have high fidelity string quartets on all the time on the main floor but it's usually set up in my study/home theatre. 

Being a mass market, consumer electronic product, I at least hoped it would sound half as good as my $100 AudioTechnica M50x headphones. My expectations were low but holy heck how do you make a speaker that sounds this awful. It had glimmers of greatness, but that's all that it was. 

Mass market audio really does suck, what to buy instead?

The company will still support the smart speaker, though

iPhone Pro Max users: Do you regret your decision?

It's fun to have a smart speaker but the sound isn't as crisp as I had hoped. The bass bumps and the sound filled my large living room but my Bose sounds a lot better.
