Does it have a headphone socket? All I want from my google home devices is better control over the audio, and it seems the only way I can do that is plug it into my own amp. Edit. Nope. However the latest software lets you change default audio device for media playback to a chromecast audio. That's halfway there - what I'd like is to redirect the entire audio stream (so spoken answers too!) Alternatively, can we get a software update to add EQ on the google home? At moderate volumes my neighbours can hear the bass through the walls for a home :(

It doesn't. It might support bluetooth headphones, as the tech specs indicate that it does have Bluetooth and WiFi, but the only physical port, sadly, is Micro-USB, which is weird to me that it isn't USB-C. I keep hoping that one of these magic boxes we keep seeing is going to be implemented with an optical port so that I'll have a viable replacement for my Sonos, but I guess I'm back to waiting for Sonos to integrate Google Home or Alexa or whatever they plan to integrate for me to get everything tied in. Edit: I guess if I'd checked my email a little bit earlier, I might have noticed that they apparently just started preorders for the Sonos One with Alexa integrated. http://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/one.html http://www.sonos.com/en-us/shop/one.html

Google Home Max : "it also has an auxiliary port so you can connect it to a turntable or other speaker".

  No, that's only for audio in to play with the Max's speakers. What he wants is audio out to play google's responses on something else (Which is a feature of the Echo Dot, so you can use a better speaker)

The Echo Dot does and I do exactly this Spotify (from everything) going to the dot -> amp -> speakers. It works well.

I want to use my Google Home more but don't because of the bass. Its been a year and the most basic features aren't even out there yet. (I should have known better)
