The latter is a much larger speaker than any of its peers, and theres good reason for that.

Its a massive speaker meant to rival Apples upcoming HomePod, but with Google Assistant integration.

Unlike its little sisters, the Google Home and Home Mini, this device is heavy and bulky.

Youll want to make sure that its in a secure place in your home, as it might not survive an accidental fall.

Like the Mini, you can perform all the same Assistant functions such as controlling your smart home.

For example, when you say, Hey Google, what does traffic look like on my way to work itll recognize your voice and give you your commute details rather than your partners.

With firmware updates to the app, Google continues to add other bells and whistles to its smart speaker.

For example, you can make calls, add items to your grocery list, or find out which city hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics (answer: Greece) all with a voice command.

Its a great speaker that happens to have a smart assistant built in.

There are two 4.5-inch woofers and two 0.7-inch tweeters.

Google said the Max optimizes sound based on the room its placed in (the company calls this Smart Sound), and the Max can hear you across the room even when its playing.

It didnt hear us the first time, but when we practically shouted Hey Google when we were standing near, it picked up the voice trigger, and let us command it.

We were skeptical how well the Max would pick up voice commands when youre playing music at louder volumes, but the speaker did respond.

Tap the center to play and pause, and press and hold to activate the Assistant (or say Hey Google).

You can slide your finger on the side or top of the device to control sound depending on whether its sitting upright or laying flat horizontally.

Its even more impressive when you pair one Max with another for stereo audio.

You can also pair it with all other Chromecast Audio or Google Home products, in case you want to play your music around the house.

Google thankfully has a wide-array of support including Spotify, Google Play Music, YouTube Music, Pandora, TuneIn, and iHeart Radio.
