However, some customers noted that the speaker's size and weight are significant drawbacks, and a few experienced issues with Bluetooth connectivity. The price point was also a source of some negative feedback.

    You can hear the lows and highs clearly even at low volumes. The google assistant is a plus as it does everything the smaller models does as far as smart assistant.

    Tremendous Sound, very clear at very high volumes. The voice recognition for Google Assistant is far superior to Siri and superior to Amazon Alexa. I have all three products and Google will replace them all.

    Best Google Audio speaker choice. It's too bad it was discontinued. I have two of these paired and nothing else compares in the Google or Apple ecosystem.

    Its okay. Sounds good, not great. Not game changing as I had hoped. Doesn't pick up voice that well and find myself yelling at it even when the room is silent. Sounds better than the Studio though.

    Jumped on them when they were on sale. As a steroid pair they deliver room filling audio. No complaints. However, still prefer a pair of Sonos one over these.

    It really is the best smart speaker. I had the Apple HomePod, which has inferior sound in comparion. The sub is powerful and the kids are responsive.

    The Google Home Max is great, it does as advertised and provides wonderful sound with the added bonus of the Google Assistant. The only thing's I've noticed are it's ability to hear you at a normal speaking level when you're listening to music with some volume.

    First off...Yes, I know it costs way too much. But it sounds so good! This is for anyone who wants the google assistant attached to a speaker with sound that can fill a room. And the next one.
