Google Home Max tops Apple HomePod for audio, says Consumer Reports

Consumer Reports is an awful publication. Their methodologies are often very flawed and very opaque. I also would not trust Yahoo finance for audio reviews. As an example of CR's egregiously bad testing, they run battery tests by cranking brightness up to 100% on various devices. However if you have half a brain, you'll realize that display technology matters and is different across phones. At the very least, you want to set the different phones to a certain level of "nits" which is a measure of brightness rather than an arbitrary "100%" which can mean wildly different things. It actively penalizes phones with better display technology just because their displays can output brighter light.
