Google - Nest Audio - Smart Speaker - Chalk

Google is finally realizing that one of the biggest reasons people buy a smart speaker is to be... a speaker. First generation Google Home was a great smart device and a mediocre speaker. Now with the Nest Audio we finally have an incredible Google Assistant device with an incredible speaker. I love the sound it produces. I love how loud it gets. I love the look of it. I love how sensitive the microphones are. I LOVE the price. I was on the fence about buying another Sonos One speaker, but I'm glad I waited because this is half the price, sounds just as good, and is a way better smart speaker. Also for some insane reason you still can't cast music to Sonos. Good riddance Sonos, hello Nest Audio.

Purchased the speaker primarily to use in my bedroom with my iPad. The sound was so good looks lie I will need to purchase a 2nd speaker to acquire a balanced sound. Which you can't get when the nest is paired with a Google Mini. One review called it the sweet spot between price and quality! Exactly right in my view.

As an upgrade to the original Google Home, this is a winner, with a lower list price to boot. It looks like, well, a speaker (how's that for a curve ball from Google?) It's still the same minimalist interface as the home -- lights in front and touch sensitive area on the top for adjusting volume or starting and stopping music playing. The sound is an upgrade from the original Home and is a lot more full. These can be paired, so two speakers can play stereo sound. They are louder than the original Google Home and have a more full-range sound (from low frequencies to high), although the bass isn't going to knock your socks off. During the holidays they were sold in pairs with a discount, and that's a pretty good way to set them up, as a pair. You manage the speaker through the Home application, just like all the other Home / Nest products. So if you're already using Home / Nest products, this is a super-easy upgrade. If it's your first smart speaker, this is a good way to start.

Great sound for the price. I was looking for a new smart assistant speaker and was about a day away from getting a Sonos one (Which I really didn’t want as it does not support voice match or more than a single mic) when the nest audio was released. I was so excited to learn I could get a stereo pair of these speakers (Both with Triple Mics and VoiceMatch) for less than 1 Sonos! Now granted even the stereo pair can’t produce those full deep bass notes like a Sonos one but they can crate an insanely full soundstage for their size and cost! And if you have a google home it is super easy to integrate and pair with your other google home compatible speakers!

Great speaker with nice sound and adaptive sound that adjusts to the room to optimize sound. The bass is not as powerful as the Google Max but it's a much smaller form factor and packs enough sound to nicely fill a room. If you already have the older Google Home smart speaker, it's not a necessity to get this speaker. It's nice but it's not a game changer. Overall, if you want good sound from a nice smart speaker at a reasonable price, this checks all the boxes.

I am all in for the Google Smart Speakers. I have a display or speaker in every room. When a friend complained that they missed having radio stations in their kitchen, I suggested this product. I purchased it, set it up and they couldn't be more thrilled. They like it for the radio stations, but they are learning to love it for the smarts. Also, looks good in the room and sounds great

This product is worth value for money with the price range google offers this Google recently have made all products in their store affordable and carry google quality brand value Pros: A) Power of google home B) Amazing Sound C) Clarity of sound D) Good choice of colors Cons: A) Inconsistent Bluetooth connectivity which keeps dropping specially with IPhone,No issues if you use android phone

This Is My First smart speaker and i really like it, has a great sound with clear vocals and good bass and a balanced sound, most of the time i used it between 35% to 70% of volume because it's louder enough, i watched a lot of reviews before my purchase and i think i made the right choise, google assistant its so helpful, my family love it too, we enjoy funny moments trying the games and sharing time together, the speaker and the power cord feels premium, i' m thinking to buy another one for stereo sound, for that price this is probably one of my best purchases ever
