Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this speaker. Love it sonud. pumping Bass. Great clarity. The only thing that bugs me somethings the bluetooth cut from my Nvidia Shield abruptly, not sure why. But other than that it's the best bluetooth speaker I ever own.

This Speaker has the Bass to Shake the walls and the Clarity for Audiophiles. Just Simply amazing and Bestbuy offers it with a Free Google Home mini. Killer Deal. Check Out GeekSourceHD on YouTube for an Unboxing!

I love music, I love speakers. Now I own a pair of Sonos Play 5’s as well as a pair of Apple Homepod’s. Now I’ve added a pair of the Google Home Max’s. So how do these sound? Excellent. I like how they adapt to their environment. I like how you can dial in the settings. These reproduce music in a most pleasing way. They do get loud but don’t sacrifice clarity while doing so. The bass is deep. Music is crisp and clear. I know people have their own preferences as to which crowd they prefer. Apple. Google. Sonos. And whatever environment you are in you can’t go wrong with any choice. These speakers are fantastic though and compete very well with the others. In my environment they get louder than the Homepods. Not quite as detailed as the Sonos Play 5’s. We are talking extremely close for all 3 though. Given the fact that they are $100 off really sweetens the deal. At that price and taking all factors into account, the Home Max to my ears is the winner. Overall sound Sonos. Sound and budget factors on sale, Google Home Max. The build quality of all 3 is very impressive.

Great sound. Appreciate that you can adj. bass and treble. Multiple mics are a plus however when loud it still has problem hearing commands. But Great sound. Loud enough for inside without distorting or sounding overly boomy or tinny. Downside is its relatively large footprint but minor issue. Would still reco.

excellent sound quality, nice volume, bass and overall appealing design.

I have to say, for a speaker coming from a non-dedicated audio manufacturer I am blown away at how good this sounds. The vocal are crisp and clear with just the right amount of bass. Some listeners who favor really heavy wub wub may be disappointed but you can crank up the bass with the equalizer in the Google home app of you please. Setup took about 2 minutes. Would have been roughly 22 seconds if there wasn't a software update out of the box. Still very happy

Oh my, fantastic sounds out of this speaker. Crystal clear, thumping bass, and easy to set up and use. Fills our living room with the best dance music my 6 and 2 year olds can handle! Value is perfect with the sale price.

I love Google home and the mini, so when I saw this Google max and saw the price compared to the the home I was shocked but excited because of the larger size. I knew it had to sound better because the home and mini sound awesome as it is, ( so much better than Alexa) ! Anyway, I decide to but it even though it is expensive. It was so easy to set up because I already had others. I was blown away with the sound . It blows other brands away. If you don't mind spending the money and love good quality sound and bass you will love it. ( it also came with a google mini -that normally cost 49.99) FREE! I definitely recommend this. The only default that I have is a remote control , my voice isn't that strong or loud so I usually have to raise my voice for google to hear me over the music . ( if you don't mind raising your voice or getting close so she can hear you over the music - all is good),.

I am a music lover, and have a great home theatre system set up in our Den off the Kitchen. We still use that to play music, but more often than not, we play music while cooking dinner or hanging out in the kitchen on the Max. The sound is quite good for the size, with noticeable (though not window rattling) bass. For us this is a nice to have add on, but if I were in an apartment, or just getting my first stereo, I'd only need this speaker to make me happy. We have a Google Home and a couple of Minis too, and playing music "on all speakers" is pretty cool too. I know there are many other options out there, some sounding better, some sounding worse, but for the sound you can't beat the simplicity of this device. As a bonus, it doesn't make my wife angry to use it, unlike some of the other systems I've put together using various components and add ons.

It took months to rip, tag, and upload my 1000+ cd collection (in mp3 format) to my google music account. I have two other google home devices, but they did not sound that great. I like it loud, and clean. My tastes in music run from KISS to Soft Cell. Classical to PUNK ROCK. Oldies like Elvis and Patsy Cline. This speaker sounds great. You can tweak the bass and treble with the home app. I now have a great sounding WiFi jukebox that plays everything in my collection with just the sound of my voice. "Hey Google, play MY HIT PARADE 1950s playlist".

This was bigger than it looks, and it's weight surprised me. As well did the sound, deep rich bass, and crisp mids, and highs. Sits at our bar in the dining room. I am extremely happy with it, and will most likely get another.

It was between this and a Sonos Play 5. After finding out the Sonos doesn't do Bluetooth (:rolleyes:) I returned it. Enter the Google Max. I have an unusual application where it is paired to a Fire HD 10 tablet mounted to my kitchen wall acting as an intercom replacement for my intercom as it's connected to Ring. This gives me a perfect blend of Alexa and Google Home rolled into one. The sound is Amazing! Better than the Play 5 IMO. The bass completely fills the kitchen and into the dining room. I ask it to play meditation music as i cook and it really sets the tone (no pun). I'm thinking of buying another to place at the other side of the kitchen for stereo sound at some point and I'm not even that big of an audiophile.

Sounds clear, bass is good and speaker microphones work well, although you may have to raise your voice from another room to get it to hear you(not yell). The information it provided when talking to it is super helpful. Can definitely be your outdoor speaker for a LARGE party. It's awesome. Google assistant is AWESOME with a huge selection of music playlists as well. It is expensive yes but far from overpriced

The sound is simply stunning! Perfect Bass, treble, and mida. Don't even know what else to say other than that. You can get it setup and running in under 5 minutes. You can stream music from Spotify and Google (YouTube Music, YouTube, and Google Play Music). You can stream/cast from your phone or just tell Google what to play. You can also connect to it as a Bluetooth speaker for other music like iTunes and others if you want, but WiFi streaming (Spotify and Google) is definitely the best.

I love this Speaker very much. The sound Quality is awesome. crisp sound and great bass. my only issue with the product is that it was discontinued I don’t know why Google discontinued the speaker in my opinion it’s hands-down their best Google home speaker I really hope one day they bring this product back. .

The sound is great and fills the room really well. Has deep rich bass and when paired with my second home max it really is a different experience. The assistant makes turning things off and on that much easier and integrates well with all my other smart home products. If they are still available when you read this review I would definitely get one. It has been discontinued but it is well worth the buy at it's current discounted price.

This speaker does the same thing as the google mini and regular google home. . .the difference is in the sound quality that comes from the speaker. Its a premium speaker with premium sound. When you play music, you will feel the bass and the sound fills the room waaay more than the mini or regular google home. I loved my google home so much, I bought my mom, dad and sister a google home, So they too can enjoy everything it has to offer. I'm very happy with my purchase.

This speaker is one of the greatest out there. I have multiple speakers throughout my home from sound bars to Harmon kardon speakers and sonos. This google max compares to all of them very greatly it has good bass ranges and clear sound even when you blast the music all the way it does not sound scratchy or staticky. As a voice a distant it does everything it is suppose to we love our google home collection at home!

I really love the way these speakers sound, rich bass and no distortion at high volumes. I have set them up in a group with my little google home and they play music together. I would love to have a way to connect them to my tv. I am researching the best way to do it. Hopefully google with come up with some easy methods.

Excellent sound quality and smart speaker functionality. Great bass, but I recommend keeping it turned down for best results. Cranking the bass causes distortion, but keeping it around 0 gives some really nice deep bass. Fills our master bedroom with sound easily.
