Designed with music lovers in mind, Google Home Max gives you hands-free help from the Google Assistant. Ask it questions, tell it to do things, control smart home devices and, of course, play music. At over 20 times louder than the original Google Home, you never miss a beat. Unlike other speakers in the category, Max is designed to fit into the home, much like a piece of furniture. All the technology is hidden away under a custom designed and acoustically transparent fabric enclosure. The fabric is soft to the touch yet durable featuring a melange yarn that helps emphasize the products highlights and curvature.
