Four years is an eternity in the modern tech product world, but that’s exactly how long it’s been since Google’s first smart speaker, the Google Home , was released. Since then, Google has expanded the range both above and below it, with the compact and ubiquitous Nest Mini and the powerful and...

Google's first Assistant speaker, Google Home , turns four this year. The company says that device was designed primarily as a means to access the Google Assistant, and music playback was secondary.

If I were to choose among the Google smart speakers, I would go for Nest Audio, because the audio quality is good enough for me to enjoy. It is loud enough to fill the room with quality heart-throbbing beats while providing the smart functions of Google Assistant.

The Google Nest Audio is a great smart speaker with plenty of tricks up its sleeve. Google dropped the old air freshener aesthetic for a cleaner, softer design that houses impressive hardware and is powered by even more impressive software.

The Nest Audio by Google retails for $99. The Nest Audio's sound is clear and full, Google Assistant responds quickly, and while the new Stereo Pairing feature isn’t revolutionary, it’s a welcomed addition to the new Nest Audio speakers that enhances the overall listening experience.

Very nice, especially for the price. It works substantially better than my old Google Home speaker. I also have a Sonos 1 and there is still a substantial difference especially if you are not directly in front of it. It is , however, half the price.
When I purchased this smart speaker, I already owned a pair of Google Home Max so I was expecting a small improvement over the old Google Home. I was so surprised by the quality of the sound; clear highs and midrange and more than adequate bass. Even in open spaces the sound stays rich and clear.
I bought this to replace a mini we've had as our bathroom speaker for the past couple of years. It provides music for the shower and can answer questions about the day's weather. I tell you this to show I am not really using this product to its full potential but from an audio perspective, it's a...
Great sounding speakers. Google assistant works well for smart home features around the house. One big downside is that the two speakers used as a surround setup have a 1-second delay for video over Bluetooth which makes things unwatchable.
Do not buy this item if your goal is to be able to play your own music, unless you are willing to pay extra money.. Google has taken away the ability for you to play your own uploaded songs through your devices.
I am enjoying my Google Nest as well as getting to know it's different functions.
The product is worth the price! Bought it for seamless transition of controlling a smart home and I'm loving it. The audio is simply superb! It can easily be audible from one end of the house to the other if you keep the Volume at 100 of this Google Nest Audio.
I've purchased this over a week ago and I'm happy with my purchase. Go sound and loud. It was very easy to set up through the Google Home app and connection with my spotify.
I purchased two Nest Audios to stream audio and video from my laptop as well as direct music streaming. Through the Google Home app you can create a stereo pair using two speakers. This creates an improved, wider soundstage that sounds fantastic.
Good all around sound. Unobtrusive. Like the physical switch to turn the mic off. Gets loud enough for my space. Might be worth getting 2 and pairing for stereo. Thinking about that.
