    Our Nest Smart Speaker works in stereo with our display, and the music sounds much better. Easy to set up and works great.

    The Google Nest Audio is a great product for the price. The sound quality is clear and great for music, podcasts, or just asking questions. It is a big large, but the color options can allow it to fit into most areas. It was easy to set up. I love using this in my living room for Google Assistant or listening to music. I have it linked to my record player for bluetooth playing as well and it's seamless!

    We used to struggle with the Nest MIni hearing us when the music was playing above 50% volume, but this hears us much easier so we’re not having to scream from 20 feet away to turn down the volume. Sound output is also much better. The low end has the biggest increase in sound quality compared to the mini. For $50 it was definitely worth the upgrade.

    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.

    Google got it right

    If you are in the Google ecosystem, this is the speaker to get. Nice, balanced sound. Works well in a living room. Not as loud and full as a Home Max or an Echo Studio, but more than enough for casual listening. Design is nice if your room matches that Google look. It is taller than I had imagined, but that doesn't detract from the appeal. Mics don't seem as responsive as the newer echo units, but it is still very responsive. You just need to speak up a little if music is playing. Overall, great product. Good at $99, great at anything less.

    This is fantastic! I needed both audio and an assistant in my room so I got this. It does not disappoint! Great bass and overall fidelity for the price. It booms! I also was worried it would be too pink but really blends in nicely to lighter wood furniture. Would recommend.

    Really worth it for two of them in stereo pair

    The best smart speaker pair for the money, connection reliability, pairing, and volume. Google Assistant still outperforms Alexa and Siri, and sometimes you get a magical answer. Still pretty frustrating that there's no audio inputs on these devices, and having too many of them in too small an area makes it hard for them to figure things out. Don't buy them unless they're on sale. If you can't get these buy-1-get-1, maybe you can wait until Black Friday or similar.

    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.
