Pretty Cool and Useful
||Posted .I've had two of these for two months now, and they are absolutely incredible. They sync well with my Philips Hue lights, and provide pretty good sound quality. Pros~ They can sync with other Google Homes or Chromecasts in you house. They sync well with Philips Hue lights. There is also a super stealthy USB port on the back if you'd like to charge something. It is an awesome alarm clock! I used to use a Home mini as an alarm clock, but really didn't work well since Google had to deactivate the top surface. This thing works seamlessly. You literally say 'Hey Google' then when, what time, and how to wake you up. Yes, you can specify how. I had it set to play NPR to wake me up. You can set it to wake you to a specific song, or playlist or the radio. I've definitely waken up better now then when I used my phone or a screeching alarm clock. And just tap the top to turn off. If you like sound playing while you fall asleep, (like me), then you can set up routines to activate when you say you are going to bed. Mine will say the next day's weather, then turn my lights off. It will then play cicadas and cricket sound, which are VERY convincing. There are others like a fan, water stream, thunderstorm, or just plain white noise. A nice touch is the proximity sensors on the top illuminate capacitive buttons when you wave your hand over it. Helpful in the dark. Design~ The size of the unit is pretty much the same size as the original Google Home. But, it definitely looks better. The more angular design and black color as opposed to white is definitely better looking and blends in to environments better. Cons~ Only a couple, and they are not a big deal. 1) The power brick is pretty big compared to other speakers, so you may want to think about that before putting it on a power strip, and 2) the clock face is a little too bright for me at night. It is adjustable, and I have it to its lowest setting, but it's a little bright.

Tough competitor for Google Home
|Posted .I have to admit that I am really impressed with this smart bluetooth speaker. Like I mentioned above, it has given a tough competition to google home. First, because of it's relatively low price and second because of it's little time plus "temperature" display, which google home lacks. I wrote temperature in quotation marks for a reason which I will explain later. This Insignia bluetooth speaker lacks the ability to make calls which google home is capable of, hence I took 1 star off. Other than that, it is a very good gadget. Set-up was breeze. As some people have complained about the clock being stuck at Eastern Time zone, I never had this issue. Looks like Insignia has fixed this issue now and it is no more there. When you ask about the temperature, it will speak as well as display the current temperature but that stays on the display for about 5 seconds and disappears which was the reason I quotation marked it above but I'm not as concerned about it as some other reviewers are here. It's not a big of deal for me. You can control the volume by your voice which is kinda cool as well. The only thing that bothers me is sometime if the volume is a bit high, you have to yell at it to listen to you. I'm not sure if all devices are like this or I just got a lemon. But all in all, I'm pretty satisfied with it and would definitely recommend it.

Good device, great for the $25 sale price!
||Posted .I bought 6 of these when they were on sale for $25 each. 4 black, 2 grey. I think I like black best, but both look nice. Better sound than the Google home mini. Not a lot of Base, but decent for the price. I put one in the kitchen, one in the bathroom, one in my office, one on my nightstand. I love having decent music to work to any where in the house. Having the time to glance at is a huge benefit over other assistant devices. After a few days the temperature started showing too, only after I ask about the temperature, not constantly on. It's also really nice having the back USB plug to charge my phone or other devices with. With recent updates they now make phone calls. That was a surprise! LOL. I highly recommend at the $25 price point, but would have to do some serious soul searching to consider the $45 price, because there might be other better options out there at that price point.

Excellent alternative to the Google Home!
|Posted .Even though I have already begun my home automation with the Amazon Echo ecosystem... I didn't hesitate to try out the Google Home ecosystem... While I didn't want to shell out the amount the Google Home device cost, this one is a great alternative for the price... My first impression was how GREAT these sound compared to my Echo and Echo Dot... It's a good size device with good bass and treble... Voice recognition is good as it does pick up my voice while playing music at 68%. Works very well as a bluetooth speaker too! While I am fairly new to the Google Home platform... I am not surprised that there's no Amazon Music Unlimited compatibility. It does support Google Music, Spotify and Pandora, but if you're a Amazon Music subscriber, you MIGHT want to look at the Echo's. Highly disappointed with this as I might have a change of heart when it comes to home automation devices... Overall, if you're planning on using the Google ecosystem, this is a great budget friendly device to go with! And it's great on the eyes too! Good job Insignia.

Good sound with voice control feature
||Posted .It is a nice product at this price (it was priced at 49.99$ when I bought it). It has two small but very nice speakers inside and produces a surround sound. I use it to listen to songs from my iPhone over blue tooth. I also happen to have a chromecast device and so, I can also cast a video from you tube on my chromecast device in living room through voice command given to this google assistant in the same room when I'm in the "kitchen" which is incredible. It displays time of the day all the time, the luminous intensity of which is controllable. It also displays temperature for a minute whenever it's asked about the current temperature outside. I plan to buy some hue lights and control them through voice commands. Over all, I like the product and rate it as 4.5/5 just because of lack of battery backup like other Bluetooth controlled speakers.

Best value in Smart Speakers/Alarm Clocks
|Posted .Setup was very easy and exactly the same as with other Google Home based products I own. Just plug it in, install the Google Home app on your phone/tablet and follow the directions to connect it to the internet. I really like how the setup didn’t require me to type in my access point password so it gets extra points for setup friendliness. As an alarm clock, I think Insignia has hit a home run. It’s small size easily fits into my night stand and the built-in digital clock display is easily read and not too bright. The inclusion of a USB port for charging your phone is a welcome and convenient feature. It has all the features to be a perfect bedside alarm clock. I really like using voice commands to set up my alarm over the old fashion way of holding down a button until the correct time is entered. All I have to do is say, “Hey Google, wake me up at 6:30am tomorrow” and it wakes me up the next morning as directed. Also, with a smart alarm clock, it will always have the correct time when power is restored after an outage. Sound quality is very good and in my opinion better than the Google Home Mini. I don’t have the regular Google Home to compare it to. Comparing audio quality to my Sony LF-S50G I think the Sony has slightly better midrange response (vocals sound a little better on the Sony). I really like the ability to use TuneIn to listen to local radio stations and podcasts. You never have to worry about poor radio reception. Voice recognition is excellent and is about the same as all my other Google Home based products. I can be heard from another room and I rarely have to repeat myself to be understood. I think the Insignia NS-CSPGASP is currently the best value for combo smart speakers / alarm clocks. For the price, it can’t be beat.

Small speaker but great performance
|Posted .The speaker is no bigger than my travel size coffee thermos but what it delivers is amazing. This is my first smart speaker and I am really impressed by how it performs. I can be about 5 feet away and softly say "OK Google" and it will pick up my prompt and wait for instructions. I can ask it to open my Spotify and play a certain playlist and within matter of seconds, it'll start playing. I was skeptical about the sound quality of the speaker as well but I was proven wrong again. The sound isn't muddled at all. Truth be told, I am usually one to chose name branded products, but Insignia just made me think otherwise. The alarm is very easy to set by prompting the speaker what time you would want it to go off and it is a very pleasant melody that plays too. Overall, the speaker is fairly inexpensive, VERY user friendly, great sound quality. If you are looking for a gift for someone or looking for a speaker yourself, give this a try and you wont be disappointed!

Q: QuestionMine just displays time but no temperature, does anyone know how to get the temperature to display?
Asked by mward100.
- A:Answer According to the manufacturer, the current setting is to display the temperature for 4 seconds after inquiring what the temperature currently is. This is nearly useless, and they have stated that they are looking into lengthening that time. However they have no intention of allowing the temperature to remain there at all times as that portion of the display is used for many different things.

Q: QuestionDoes this device have alarm/snooze functionality? I see the "AL" on the pictures. Interested in replacing an alarm clock with this.
Asked by Anonymous.
- A:Answer It does, through Google Home, you are able to set an alarm with a voice command such as "Hey Google, set an alarm for 6 a.m. on weekdays." You can also specify certain days, and have multiple different alarms. This is why I purchased this device, and thanks to it's smart home control, I can use it to turn on and off the lights in my room as I have a z wave switch connected to my samsung smartthings hub. You snooze the device by waving your hand above it.

Q: QuestionCan you set a custom alarm sound? I would like to wake up to birds chirping in the garden, so it is a nice and calm wake-up, rather than an annoying EH EH EH EH EH EH! I am assuming it would be more of a Google Assistant thing.
Asked by phj36.
- A:Answer I'm not sure about the particular birds sounds, but you can wake up to music/radio/media. It would work of you had bird sounds as a song track. Just ask Google to "set a [music/media/radio] alarm at [time]," and the Assistant will respond by asking what song/radio/etc you'd like it to play. Once you let it know, the alarm is set, and you'll hear the requested song at the set time.

Q: QuestionWhen I ask it to set an alarm. It tells me that it is set. Then tells me "something went wrong" or "sorry there is a glitch" and finishes with "try again in a few minutes". The AL lights up but never goes off or clears. and no alarm happens..
Asked by Dave.
- A:Answer I am having the exact same issue. Bought two of these speakers over the weekend and it's frustrating. I've found a user online with this same issue on another brand speaker (JBL). They circumvented the issue by changing the language setting in the Google Home app to English (Canadian). I will confirm this works, however, it will not let you set a music or radio alarm this way. In addition, your weather will be broadcast in Celcius, but you can fix that by saying "Hey Google, change units to Farenhiet." I would like to hear an answer from Insignia, though, as to why we're getting the "something went wrong" error when trying to set an alarm. That's kind of the whole point to this product.
