Google Home Max vs WiiM Sound

The Google Home Max and the WiiM Sound are both AC-only speakers with Google Chromecast support, but they have very different strengths. The Google is much better for voice control thanks to built-in Google Assistant and far-field microphones, and it's also a lot louder, making it better suited to larger rooms. Its Chromecast latency is low, too, so it's a better choice for videos over Wi-Fi. The WiiM Sound is smaller but much more flexible for music streaming. It has a more versatile companion app with a host of sound customization options and support for a wide range of music services. However, its Chromecast latency is very high, and its voice control relies on the included remote rather than hands-free commands.
