Any buyer's remorse so far out there? I've got 2 Chaulks by the front door awaiting their fate as a result of a "buy now, think later" impulse...waffling between keep one, keep both, return both...1GH+4GH Mini owner here.

I don't know for certain as i don't have one, but looking at all the reivews and comparisons, it seems well known that the Play:5 and leaps and bounds better than the Google Home Max in regards to sound quality.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.
If i wanted a smart speaker first, i'd probably get this one. If i wanted a high quality audio speaker first that was wireless, i'd go the Sonos route. To me , sound quality is #1 which is why I went with a pair of Play:5's

How good is yours compared to the max? Been using the max for a couple of days. It’s pretry good but I honestly don’t think it is as good as it’s hyped to be.Cowboy905 wrote: ↑ I don't know for certain as i don't have one, but looking at all the reivews and comparisons, it seems well known that the Play:5 and leaps and bounds better than the Google Home Max in regards to sound quality.

I don't have a max but I won one, plugged it in, and wasn't impressed. If I didn't have my Play:5's maybe i would have been very impressed but I guess i'm just used to the Play:5's now. They don't go on sale often, but people over on the r/sonos subreddit often have 20% codes for the site and that's when they scoop them up.

Yeah literally did it last night. I decided to wait until an hour before closing on a Friday to try the part-time employees but she just scanned my online receipt printout (that just shows $599.98 for 2) and immediately gave me $338 back. I just mentioned it was much larger than I expected.

It depends which one you return.
When I bought mine, they charged me $350 for the first one and ($350-$100) $250 for the second one, both bought together at the same time, right at the start of the sale.
Because I got a white and black I'm guessing, they shipped from different warehouses and on two separate receipts.
My white one was $350 and the black one was $250, so when the white came, I just returned it full price and got to keep the black one at $250.
Someone else who bought different colours or who has two separate receipts might be just as lucky. Didn't want to brag initially cause it is very YMMV but I was super happy.
