    The Google Assistant function works great, and the speakers within the device are fairly decent with good range. I would be wary about upgrading to Google Gemini, as it has been known to cause issues on this specific device.

    Affordable Addition for Home Audio

    Bought this speaker to complete a surround sound experience in our home by adding it into our existing mesh network points. Very happy with how quick & easy this was to add to our current Google Home system and pleased with the sound quality. The built-in assistant is a nice bonus, even if we don't use it all that often. Won't deliver the same deep bass or volume of a more expensive system but it works perfectly when synced up with other Google speakers around the house.

    Love this speaker. Sound is amazing, beautiful minimal design. It gets pretty loud and will surprise you with the clarity and pure volume. Price point can't be beat. The only drawback is that if you want to pair to your TV, it takes some tinkering. Aside from that, I cannot think of any complaints. Great job Google.

    At first I was a little skeptical on whether I would use a product like this, thinking now "they" are going to know what I do but let's be honest, they're listening anyway. I love it! It's easy to set up and turns out I added so many other devices like my TV, robot vacuum, lights, locks that I will never go without it. It's so convenient when you're thinking of something to add to say your shopping list but your phone or notepad is not nearby so you just tell Google to add it. And my favorite command is Hey Google find my phone, lol. And the sound quality when playing music is superb. I would even say as good as my wireless Bose speaker. I also purchased 2 Google minis for other rooms. Pricey but worth it. I do wish it wasn't so big, maybe a cylinder size would look more pleasing. Overall great purchase and get the extended warranty. I purchased one and a few weeks later, it didn't work so Best Buy exchanged and my warranty is still active.

    This is a great product with great sound. Please note if you ever have to factory reset, placement of your fingers in the middle, top front of the device may be tricky. Also, I wouldn't pay over $50 as these frequently go on sale. Other than that, I would recommend.

    The sound quality on these are really good, especially compared to the minis we're switching from. The setup was simple and smooth, thankfully. Make Sure you use wall anchors or drill into studs; these sucker are weighty!

    I have several original google homes in my house and saw these on sale for $60.00....I ended up buying 3 of them to replace my original google homes and couldn't be happier. Although these are called Google (NEST) audio, these are basically google homes on steroids, they are not just speakers....anything the google home can do this can do as well or better. The sound quality is far superior to the google homes, google mini and google hubs. another great feature is the command execution is almost instantaneous! when you give it a command it responds and does the command very quicky. If I ask it to turn on my lights, with in a second the lights are on very quick! another pro to the google audio is its looks....it just fits in very well with any decor. And finally, it gets pretty loud versus the other google home products. If you have an original google home, or mini this google audio is worth buying and replacing the originals with especially if you play music on your google homes! Pros: looks good, sounds really good, is loud and has a very quick command execution. Cons: none found as of yet.

    I bought this for fun and to add a little help for tasks like turning on/off lights and my tv because sometimes I can’t find my remote so I use it if I quickly need to lower my tv volume. Pretty simple to use.

    This speaker has pretty good sound for a non-stereo speaker. It connects easily with other Google speakers allowing synchronized music throughout the house. As expected has Google Assistant built in. It looks nice and is more substantial than what you would think by looking at it. Has touch controls on the top and volume display on the front.

    Super easy setup. Clean enough sound. Never disconnects from Network like some other options. Sound quality is decent for the size and the price I got it for ( 49!). If you use google home, its a must have piece. Put one near the shower!

    This smart speaker has been a great addition to my home. The sound quality is clear with good bass for its size, and it easily fills the room. Setup was quick, and it connects smoothly with my other devices. I really like the voice assistant feature—it makes playing music, setting reminders, and checking the weather super convenient. Overall, it’s reliable, stylish, and worth the purchase.

    Good Sound, but Google needs programming help

    I bought a pair. They have great sound...but Google isn't great with programming. For instance, last night, they wouldn't stop playing music. "Hey Google, stop music." response..."sure, stopping music on Nest Pair." Music doesn't stop...from voice commands, from Google Home app, from speakers. Had to ask someone with an Apple phone to shut it down. Google, why are you so bad at this?

    A Great Speaker For Invested Google Home Users

    We purchased 2 of these to add to our Google Home Network. We have these in our living room. You can pair them together as stereo speakers however we have ours placed in two different locations. Pros: - Sleek appearance - Solid feel - Easy to use controls - Nice sound Cons: - Had to exchange one that kept dropping from Wifi network even after factory reset. We mainly use them for full house music listening but, also utilize the mics for Home commands! You can turn the mic on or off on the devices as well as pause the music or increase/decrease the volumes all on the device which is nice. They pair rather effortlessly with the intuitive setup process in the Home app but it could be a little more streamlined. We had to exchange one as it kept dropping from the wifi network. Thankfully this happened during the extended holiday return period! These aren't a must have but if you enjoy music and use voice commands a lot for your Google Home network it is a great addition!

    I bought two. Initially I purchased the Nest Mini. Great sound in itself for the size. With the mini I purchased two C by GE smart lights. I put one in corner that is out of the way. The light paired easily after downloading Google Home app and the C by GE app. I have since moved those two items to my bedroom. The two Nest Audio are now in the living room. I previously transferred my music library to my phone, about 6000 songs. I downloaded the Hi-cast app. After pairing the two Nest Audios it is easy to send the music from my phone to these two speakers, perfect stereo sound. Of course, you can still ask about the weather, or just about anything I imagine. Though I haven't yet figured out out to change from metrics to feet. Such as asking how tall is Mount Everest. The answer was provided in meters.
