Wow, I plan to use it with Spotify premium as well...EvanFBC wrote: ↑ I took delivery of mine today, and I have to admit, with all the hype, the sound quality leaves a lot to desire.
It sounds muddled and fuzzy, almost as if the bitrates are low (I am using Spotify Premium).
Anybody else feel this way? Perhaps I was expecting too much, but there’s little clarity to the sound.
Best Buy
Google Home Max ($350 for 1 / $600 for 2)

Did you change the streaming quality in the Spotify app to 'very high'?EvanFBC wrote: ↑ I took delivery of mine today, and I have to admit, with all the hype, the sound quality leaves a lot to desire.

Got my first of two Google Home Max yesterday, the thing is absolutely awesome. Much prefer it over the Sonos Play:3 I had previously. Receiving my second one today or tomorrow - not sure why they shipped them out seperately.

Same here. I prefer the Google Home Max vs my 2x Sonos Play 1's so far. Sounds amazing.

What is the difference between max and mini? Only a better and bigger speaker?

Anyone using the Max as a dedicated TV soundbar/ sound system?
I picked up the Costco Vizio 5.1 sound bar for my Samsung KS8000 and it was disappointing for me, incremental improvement and a little bit extra bass. I think it was $200 plus tax for the sound bar.
The Max obviously has other functionalities (I have 2 minis) but it is priced at $350 plus tax and I'm looking for feedback.

if anyone is just looking for 1 with a smaller discount, i pricematched the chalk color at visions and got a coupon code. I've decided not to buy it though due to budget constraints....
if anyone wants it at visions you can use my discount code PBEAT-0E4191A7. the code brings the price down to $326.50 plus tax. code expires end of day march 16

That's strange. Maybe a defective unit? The vast majority of online reviewers including those that review high-end speakers say that the sound quality is very very good.EvanFBC wrote: ↑I took delivery of mine today, and I have to admit, with all the hype, the sound quality leaves a lot to desire.

This $600 for 2 thing is annoying. Might buy one if it's straight $300 for one.

So how much is it for one if you're buying two? I'd be interested in splitting with someone in the Mississauga area.
