Google Home Max Review: The best smart speaker (and most precious)

There are approximately 100 % possibilities that everyone who reads this has a way to reach Google’s assistant. You may even have more than one assistant device now after most phones have been released in the past few years, Google Minis are delivered at home as its validity will end. The original Google Home has a respectable speaker, and many people use it to listen to music. However, for anyone serious in his songs, the Mini house and the house do not cut it. This is where the MAX house comes. This smart speaker does not wander – it’s incredibly big, heavy and loud.

Home Max is an expensive speaker, and he is not alone in this regard – you can spend a lot on loudspeakers of all shapes and sizes. However, Home Max can be a great choice if you are very interested in sound quality and want an easy auxiliary integration. Home Max is intelligent, rich in features, and excellent sounds, but most consumers will find it difficult to justify the price of $ 400.

Goodness

Not very good

design

Like other smart speakers in the assortment of the house, Google Home Max is not designed to attract attention despite its large size (weighing 12 lbs). It comes in either white/gray or black colors with a texture sheath covering the front part where loudspeakers live. The traditional Quartet Committee of LED lamps shines through the textile center when it interacts with the sound amplifier or change the sound level.

Behind the fabric cover there is a pair of 114 mm sound amplifiers, 18 mm amplifiers, and six six -degree speakers. Five microphones spread to the roof of the house as a maximum. Around the back is the power outlet, USB Type-C, and AUX In. AUX is a nice touch if you want to coordinate the sound of a piece of non -smart audio equipment. Me too love The end of the wall is very compressed ingredients. The normal Google Home has a giant plug because it contains energy circuits, but this is all inside the maximum house. There is also an actual silent key at the back of the maximum, and it is similar to the key to the miniature house. Google says it was transferred to the use of a key instead of the button so that people can make sure the sound mute is at a glance.

The fabric section of the maximum is the largest part. The plastic cabinet excels a little, and ends in a flat back. On the upper surface there is a touch -sensitive area that allows you to play/stop music and change the sound level. It is strange that this area is only indicated by a small gray tape in the middle of the device, but the touch sensor extends almost to the edge. There is a sticker on the device when you get it indicating the tap area in the middle (toys/suspension) and controlling the sound level (left and right slip). I did not realize that this was at first. I hope Google will do a little more with this sensor bar – perhaps let’s cross the tracks? You can not even press long to contact an assistant. I will be well with some printed controls on housing as job improvement.

^{Magnetic base.}

The maximum house comes with a base attached to the bottom of the headphone, but this is not so necessarily The bottom. Max works in “Landscape” or “Portrait”, so you can peel the rubber base from the bottom and hang it on the right side. When you support the headphone in this way, the internal guidance sensor recognizes this and turns into unilateral operation (such as most phones with dual speakers).

Sound and sound

You may have noticed something unusual about Google Home Max – it’s not a multi -directional device like most other smart speakers. Google designed this device from A to Z with a sound quality in mind, which means dispensing the legend that people will put a speaker in the middle of the room. Not only that most amplifiers are very smart tools that do not work as a decoration axis, but also you need to connect them, and this is not appropriate on your coffee table. Most people put loudspeakers on a shelf or table near the wall, and Google Home Max is prepared for that.

The five microphones you mentioned not only to listen to your voice. It is also the key of Google’s smart audio feature. Max Max listens to his sound output in order to design audio in the room. According to Google, placing a loudspeaker near the wall (as most of us do) can increase the response of the brightness and the overall vocal muddy. Home Max determines the room’s vocal features based on its location almost immediately and adjusts the sound of the sound over a period of about 30 seconds. Therefore, if you transfer it, the output will change gradually until it is correct again for the intended sound.

This is what Google He says It will happen. I moved the top house several times, and I did not notice a difference in sound quality. I assume this means that the smart voice works? What I can say is the Max house looks great. At low size levels, Max has a large and higher sound, and the middle is pulled again a touch. This is the prepared EQ of Google (this is not a reference device, so you don’t expect EQ flat). The Home app has a pass bar and trilogy, and this is all. It really shines the maximum when you bond the size to about 50 %. Pump the brightness, but you do not lose clarity through the rest of the spectrum.

When you pay the size of the maximum by 50 %, it becomes almost incredible. A very few loudspeakers that I heard can hit the brightly without distorting music, but the maximum still seems very brittle and good. 75 % loudly as much as I can go reasonably. My office is not great enough to contain more sound, and you can hear the music clearly all over the house in this folder. In the few times I paid a little more in the name of science, I can discover some slightAlmost non -defamation values. In a larger space, you are likely to be able to do this along the way and still have a good experience. You may have to buy some very complex and complex enthusiastic audio devices to do this better.

MAX also works in pairs, which you prepared via the Home app. This is when you rotate the headphone to stand and play in Mono’s position. Then one of the speakers gets the left channel, and the other gets the right. I can only imagine how high it is in a real stereo. For $ 800, I hope the answer is “really” loudly.

Another benefit from all this microphones is that the maximum house can hear you incredibly well. Even when I detonate music by 75 %, I can use auxiliary sound orders. In my experience, as long as you can hear yourself saying “Tayeb Google”, the house will be the maximum. Once you hear the hot word, the sound is rejected for the duration of the matter. The auxiliary sound that comes out of the maximum is sometimes strange. It seems that someone stands in the room, and helps him to synthesize realistic speech on Google

conclusion

Google Home Max is the best more sound smart speaker you can buy now. It contains the same difficult capabilities as the smaller members of the family family, but the sound quality is great. The sound follows fragile, and the dress is strong without being arrogant. I like listening to music on this device, and you will not miss an auxiliary orders even with the level of sound.

It is significantly minimal because it is very giant, but the controls of the touches bar are somewhat rational. The “chalk” colored amplifier is likely to suit most of the decorations better than the “charcoal” version. Either way, the speaking fabric cover gives a comfortable fabric.

^{All homes.}

Is the smart speaker worth $ 400 for most people? Maybe not. Although Apple will try to sell HomePod for only $ 50. In this context, Max Max appears to be a real deal. You will likely get a more flexible sound system at a similar price with some high -end loudspeakers and Chromecast Voice, but it is good that everything is ready outside the box with Max Max. This looks like a Google vanity project, but it is a good project.
