During the month of October the company of Don´t be evil heralded direct competition to the HomePod, the Google Home Max. Google's biggest smart speaker that would be the serious choice for your virtual assistant. A way to get into our homes with a device that should offer considerable performance. However, many users are skeptical considering the disappointment that their autonomous headphones have sown in criticism and users.
This speaker will begin to be sold briefly in the United States of America, but it is a matter of time before it reaches the European market. The Google Home Max is here to stay, yes, it is not exactly cheap, let's see what it consists of.
To begin with, its price in dollars reaches 399, nothing less than 50 dollars above what the Cupertino company offers, and well ahead (both products) of the price that Samsung and LG are offering in their sound bars, although it is intuited that the latter do not count with its own and autonomous operating systems. Meanwhile, the Google Home Max comes with a free subscription to YouTube Red for 12 months, as well as an ad-free version of YouTube Music, a good way to entertain the user.
The speaker will come in two colors (Chalk and Charcoal), accompanied by two 0,7-inch tweeters and two 4,5-inch woofers, which should offer us an optimal and sufficient sound considering the price and its system. Smart Sound that analyzes the cabin to offer optimum performance. Despite this, the Google Home Max does not offer 360-degree sound, which is surprising. Meanwhile, its system is fully adept at playing music from Spotify, YouTube, Pandora, and other sources. Be that as it may, it seems that the Google speaker is going to be like your headphones, an existing product but that does not suppose a real competition for those already present in the market.
