    Amazing

    First off, despise its size which i though it was going to be bigger (its like two nest minis on top of eachother) its sound has a more rich deeper bass and it has a Treble and Bass equalizer on the google home app. The sound is truly 360 and pretty loud for the size. The design is google's signature futuristic curvy design, it has movable fabric (dont worry its mot THAT delicate) the fabric cannot be taken off, nothing can be taken off not even the cable.. which is a bummer but its pretty long! The ease of the setup was pretty easy, it should be as easy as setting up earbuds. I really do like the sound, control, placement, and the lights. The lights give it more aesthetic. I mainly use it for music, alarms, chatting with google's Gemini AI and other home AI like the nest.

    Very fast to act and fits in well

    I love how it looks, it's very intelligent, and actions are very fast, about 2 seconds or so, i have the berry color and the fabric is very stretchy and soft

    Great sound, worth the high price

    The price is the only thing holding this speaker back. It is a perfect entry into the smart home ecosystem, but as well as a great sounding speaker. It not only fills the room, but fills the entire floor of the house. Additinally, it serves as a matter hub, so you can use it as a bridge to connect all matter devices. Only other complaint is that whenever you use the apple music connection in the google home app, it doesnt understand the request to play music from your library. Full size stick of deoderant for scale

    Love this speaker!

    I have 2 of these so far, I am thinking of getting 1 of each color. I have the white one and the jade one. I am slowly replacing my Google Nest Mini's with these, I have them paired throughout the house for music and the sound on these is amazing! Highly recommend especially if you want to pair them for great sound around your home!

    Google Home Speaker worth the wait

    It's on my nightstand. When I get out of bed to do exercises I say, "hey Google, play 90s hip hop" or Ravel or Ry Cooder and voila - it happens. It's also right there for queries on the fly, like "why doesn't the FIFA president get voted out after kowtowing ...?" and then it gives the solid Gemini scoop on what's up with all of that. In short - it's useful and it's fun. Treat yourself
