Smart Home Upgrade Made Easy

Picked up a Google Nest from Best Buy and couldn’t be happier. The staff helped me choose the right one for my home, and setup was simple and fast. It works great with my other smart devices and makes everyday stuff like adjusting the thermostat or checking the weather super convenient. Best Buy made the whole experience smooth from start to finish.

I got the grey Google Nest speaker, and honestly, it's pretty sweet. I like how it looks. The cloth covering is soft, which is a nice touch. When I play music, it actually sounds good—not all tinny like some smart speakers. And the best part? I can just talk to it! I ask it questions, and it answers. I can even tell it to turn off my lights, which is super handy. It was easy to set up, and it fits right in with my stuff. I'm happy with it.

Nest Audio has a much better design than the 1st gen Google Home speakers to go along with a solid Audio quality. It picks up the commands well and executes them as you expect any Google Assistant to. It has a decent volume range.

Decent bass, good mic. It's what you expect from a good Google Nest.

I had to replace my Echo Show, and I wanted to also have a device that has nice audio quality when listening to music. I did some research before purchasing this smart speaker and I was happy to have chosen this one. The quality sounds great compared to the Echo Show and previous google home products. Very easy and fast to setup with Google Home. Very responsive as well! Will definitely recommend this item to anyone who needs a smart speaker!

I would highly recommend those Speakers. The sound,quality and the ease use of bass .I am having them around my house just wonderful and relaxing to listen to my favorite music.

I waited 2 years to buy these. Kept thinking they’d come out with a new model or someone would post a pretty annoying issue. Which btw, when you disable the mic on the speakers there is an annoying ORANGE LIGHT that is always visible. So if you wanted to just Bluetooth audio and not worry of the always listening google overlords, you can’t without a bright Orange light.
Anyways, the sound is great, but the sound is awesome with 2. Typically the case with a lot of speakers, they sound better in pairs. These go on sale twice a year. Wait for the sale and buy 2

Bought me 2 of these speakers for my office and the stereo mode gives some pretty top notch sound. You can ask google pretty much anything basic but don’t ask anything to specific or it just won’t understand. It’s a pretty good smart speaker overall and have been enjoying using it so far.

Sound quality is noticably better than old Google Home or obviously the Nest Mini speakers or Nest Hub Mini. Really wish they would bring back the big Google Home Max speaker for actually impressive sound, as this still can't begin to compete with the likes of Sonos/Bose/etc. The Google Assistant however has stagnated and doesn't feel like it's improved at all over the last 5 years or so, which is disappointing when buying a new product. But it's a solid product overall and if you're into the Google Home ecosystem it's a no-brainer recommendation.

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.

google delivers amazing sound with massive bass and pretty loud volumes. it connects with all your subscription music services, and can do anything your smart assistant can. it does not have any issues with your phone assistant because it takes over and does as you command. works flawlessly with the google nest smart home thermostat, and all my other smart home devices. I liked it so much i went back for a second one for another room. Much more responsive and accurate than amazon alexa devices.

This is one of the best smart speakers i have tried. I wanted a speaker in my office space that is compact. it recognizes voice commands . Google app control is great.

Great sound quality in comparison with Nest Mini for a reasonable additional cost; also looks nice and is generally convenient to use. YouTube Premium is a useful supplement for streaming.
I had mixed feelings at first about having a front-firing driver (speaker) instead of top-firing in the Mini, but it has worked out fine where I ended up positioning it in the room.
There are a few quirks in Google Home including coordination of multiple Nest audio devices, but they are tolerable, and I think eventually the system will be fully streamlined.

Google has knocked it out of the park with this version of their smart speaker. The sound quality is wonderful. It will not get so loud that it rattles your windows obviously but it has a good full range of the sound spectrum. It is a bit on the warm side giving emphasis to its mid bass and lower bass frequencies but done so in a way that doesnt cover up vocals and highs. It has features and intelligent processing to turn them into a true surround sound experience if you want too and I think that adds a huge degree of value to an already awesome deal.

Bought this for a father's day gift for my dad(99 years old) and he loved it. Super easy to listen to music without typing on a computer. Awesome gift and works. Great

I like the form and function of this device. It connects to my other Google Nest devices seamlessly. I did have initial struggles setting it up, but that has more to do with the complexity of Google and legacy Nest products in my home on different networks.
I bought this because it looks like a high-quality speaker. I use it in a room about the size of 15x15 with high ceilings. It's adequate for that purpose. For the quality of audio I receive, I think it's worth the discounted price point. I don't think I'd buy more than 1 of these, but I'm satisfied that it integrates with my other devices, I can control it with my phone app, and the voice controls work well.
I primarily use it to play children's music and it sounds great for play time. I've played other music genres, but it would make me want to go to my stereo for high-quality audio.

Works and sounds great. Use it almost everyday. Only reason for less than 5 stars is that it's not super easy to connect. The other issue, mostly my own for not researching better, is that I can't just connect via Bluetooth. Brought it camping thinking we could chill with some good music and could only chill... No music.
