when Google announcer Google home max they said that they set out to make the best sounding speaker they possibly could so I wanted to see how the Google home max stacked up compared to some popular options out there like the Bose soundTouch 30 JBL boombox and everybody's favorite JBL Xtreme let's see how good the Google home actually is if you want to pick either these speakers up I'll have learn so description below and if you use either of the links it really helps out the channel before we get into the sound test let's go over what's under the hood of each of these speakers cuz it matters you may know by now that the Google home max has dual 4.5 inch woofers and dual point seven inch tweeters and it also has the advantage of Google's smart sound which uses machine learning to automatically adjust this EQ depending on its environment the JBL boombox is the most rugged speaker in this group and it also has a built in battery it's also rocking dual four inch woofers dual point eight inch tweeters and dual passive radiators on each side both sound so sturdy is the most expensive biggest and heaviest speaker in this lineup winged in at 18 and a half pounds whereas both the Max and boom box weigh just a little under 12 pounds but even though the Bose soundTouch sturdy is the biggest and heaviest speaker in this lineup it has the least amount of hardware generating its sound the Bose has dual two-inch tweeters and 14.5 inch woofer and I'm also going to include the JBL extreme in this comparison cuz a lot of people love this speaker and it's one of the best speakers you can get right now especially since it's on sale the Xtreme has a similar setup to the boombox except smaller it has dual two and a half inch woofers dual one point four inch tweeters and dual passive radiators on each side now you know what each of these speakers is packing we can get into the sound test in order to make this as fair as possible all of these speakers are playing at the same loudness in the same room playing off of the same device and at the same distance away from the same microphone so hopefully the only difference here is sound quality but if you want you can also skip to this timecode and get my thoughts on each of these speakers performance and final verdict copied into this place okay so first let's answer a very common question that a lot of people are going to ask and that's which speaker gets the loudest the Bose soundTouch story gets the loudest in this group living in the lone 90 decibel range but at that volume you're going to get a lot of sound Distortion whereas the max is the second loudest and sounds the best in this group and max volume it doesn't much better job of preserving the integrity of its sound quality like I said on my initial review the amount of bass to Google home max has is what amazes me the most this speaker has the deepest lows and punchy's bass in this room and it also has good instrument separation but the mids and vocals are little push back and as a result the max can get overpowered by its own bass even the bass really gets going the Bose soundTouch 30 is all about vocals vocalists are front and center on the speaker but instruments and everything else in the mids or as well to find and the highest can get pretty bright the low wins are okay but definitely not as deep as the others and the bass packs the least amount of punch in this group and when it comes to the table boombox this speaker is a pretty good middle ground between the max and the sound touch low-end performance is very similar to the Google home max but the bass is not as punchy and the vocals aren't as pushed back as the max but they aren't as forward as the sound touch vocals are exactly where they need to be and everything else in the mids is still present but in JBL fashion this speaker does have a lot of trouble and when it comes to comparing the JBL extreme to the google home max the low ends and bass of the extreme are not even comparable to the max although the vocals are more pronounced instrument separation on the extreme is nowhere near as good as the max and the highs are much brighter as well the google home max obviously classes too JBL extreme and quite honestly I would be shocked if it didn't although I really think the vocals on the Google home max need to be about forward a bit this is my speaker of choice right now the Google home max is a great speaker for bass lovers and as a result you can really feel the music when using the max at almost any volume and that's really impressive given that it's smaller than the boombox in soundTouch 30 now those smart sound play a huge part in the max of sound quality I honestly don't know I really don't notice the difference in performance when I move the max from one room to another but like I said on my initial review maybe Google might improve the sound quality of the max through a software update but for sure Google did knock it out of the park on their first try with their Google home max now I just want them to give me more touch controls on the max and fix their original Google home because the original Google home is just not good for listening to music hey if you enjoyed the video please like and subscribe it helps out more than you realize for more product reviews and deal alerts check out Jim Carrey
