Why I'll never buy a Sonos again
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great upgrade from the previous version
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Nest Audio to replace an older version. I was happy with my older one, but I wanted a better speaker and microphone. Music sounds way better than the original. The music cannot replace a high quality speaker, but it sounds good enough for listening to music while I cook. I was also pleased with the improvement to the microphone. The device can detect my commands from about 50 plus feet away with the noise from the kids and TV. The only negative thing I can say about this Smart Speaker is that the power cord is over a foot shorter than the previous version. I would recommend this smart speaker for anyone who wants a great smart device for their home. It works well and can control the TV, thermometer, robot vacuums and many other tech products I own.

The Best Google Speaker around!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Recently I gave away from my Google Home Mini (sounds old just saying that), and decided I needed a newer speaker after owning that for over 4 years. This is a phenomenal item with the ability to play around with the bass and tremble, versus what the old mini speakers did. It's heavier which makes it feel like a real speaker. I use it for almost all my automatic commands and routines. The charcoal color is also very satisfying with the products on my dresser, increasing the cool aesthetic of it in general. I use several products on my Google Home through the speaker such as my lamp, door lock, Chromecast, and even my lamp (Ottlite). It is very easy to say "Hey Google" because all products use Google Assistant and are synced together to remember your voice and set routines. Next, I'll think google could use a link adapter to products that aren't google to make it known this is one of the best speakers I've owned. Comparing the volume of the google home mini at 25% vs this current one is a big difference in clarity and smoothness. Take my review as a big encouragement. Peace!

Fantastic assistant and speaker!
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a fantastic speaker! Has a great sound, much improved over the previous generation. Much more bass, as well as cleaner vocals! Plus, it looks nice in the room, and is always handy to have a voice assistant. As far as setup goes, couldnt be more simple. Powered it up, opened the "Google Home" App, and added the device. Would/have recommended to everyone!

lovely sound and clean built
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently added the Google Nest Speaker to my apartment, and it has transformed my living space. The sleek design seamlessly fits into my decor, and the sound quality is phenomenal. Whether I'm playing music, listening to podcasts, or watching movies, the audio is clear and rich. The convenience of having Google Assistant at my beck and call is a game-changer. I can control lights, check the weather, and even set reminders effortlessly. Setup was a breeze, and the speaker has become the central hub for my smart home devices. The compact size is perfect for my apartment, and the ability to connect multiple Nest speakers for a synchronized audio experience is a great bonus. In short, the Google Nest Speaker has elevated my apartment living to a whole new level of comfort and entertainment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home audio and smart home capabilities.

Hey Google
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great upgrade to the Google home line. Speaker's quality is clear and has decent bass. The assistant is very responsive and the device itself is very nice to look at so you do not have to worry about finding a location for it that is out of sight. Setting this bad boy to max volume will definitely get your place shaking.

Apple Convert Made Happy With Nest Audio
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m an Apple loyalist first and foremost, however with Google’s mesh wifi system, I had to switch as I got tired of spending $600 for a descent router. After switching, I got a little excited that I can add nest audio to my setup and I was a little weary that the sound would be sub par. I was wrong. They got these right. Now full disclosure, these aren’t a sonos situation, but for $59 (Black Friday deal) these are a home run and I love the added benefit of the “Hey Google” mic. Super accurate and well worth the switch. Now if they only sold a sub to pair with these little piece of awesomeness. Don’t hesitate.

Amazing sound quality!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I picked up two of these up on sale to group with my Nest Mini and I am very pleased with how these things sound together. I have the best entry-level sound set up in my room and it didn’t cost me hundreds of dollars! Setting them up was pretty easy too! Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to people who enjoy listening to music/podcasts and who are dabbling in home automation. I just wish that these could be used as speakers for the Chromecast I connected to my TV just like my Chromebook.

Google Nest Audio
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Google Nest Audio is an excellent device for voice assistance, featuring built-in Google Assistant support. You can control it effortlessly using just your voice, whether you’re lounging on the couch or standing farther away. However, it may struggle to understand commands in noisier settings, like during parties. A convenient microphone mute option is also available, allowing you to turn off listening when privacy is needed.

Definitely a speaker i would suggest.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great speaker. I have a pair of these in my garage and the suround stereo sound if fantastic. For the price i think their well worth it. And its great i can control my other google devices throughout the house with just my voice. If you have radio and other music accounts linked to google all you have to do is ask google ( politely ) to play anything you want.

I finally kicked Alexa to the curb...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Clear Audio, a perfect Assistant and you can pair two of them to create a speaker group in Google Home! Sidenote- I wanted these to work as audio for my TV but Google programmed them in a way they don't do that. BUT, I found a way. -Create a speaker group with the paired Nest Audio -Add Chromecast into the group in Google Google Home app and label as something you'll remember (I use "Nest Theater Audio") (Here's the strange part because the audio won't communicate through use of the actual Chromecast so you need to have a Fire TV Stick-ironic isn't it) -Go to Fire TV Settings -Hit Remotes & Bluetooth -Other Bluetooth -Choose the audio group and now You can play surround sound audio while streaming. All in all I love these speakers and highly recommend them. There's so much you can actually do with them and even more you'll find in Google Home app.
