Has great connectivity. I've found if you are looking for a smart speaker that has quality sound without breaking the bank, and are not beholden to the amazon specific offerings (like adding things to an amazon shopping list), this is preferable for me. It also uses better natural language in my opinion than the other. Also if you're like me and like to ask your smart speaker random questions, I find the google assistant provides me more comprehensive answers.

I have a bunch of these. All linked together in my house. I love them. They sound great.
I have a minor issue with the app sometimes but that just the app. The speaker itself though is amazin.

Great sound, easy and fast setup. Speaker groups works way better than Alexa. No sound drop outs like I was getting with Echo and finally I can do Youtube Music to speaker groups! Looks sleek and matches home décor well.

This speaker is east to use. Whether you use an android or an iPhone, the connection has never been an issue for me. It’s not as clear as a homepod but still sounds great!

The Nest Audio sounds fantastic, with clear highs and surprisingly deep bass for its size. It’s been great for music and voice commands, but I do wish it had a built-in clock like some Echo models. Sometimes you can find these for $50 (or 2 for $100). We have 2 in our home, and a Nest Hub as well.

It's great. It's small but loaded with sound. I was a skeptic when I saw it and quicklh changed my opinion when I listened to it. If you love music and want good music with you this is for you!

First of all I really like the Google assistant. In combination with Gemini the assistant offers up far more information than any other AI on most topics. The sound quality and volume are good! I fully expect that this device’s capabilities will continue to improve.
At this time it’s not as good at controlling smart devices but they may be my current setup.

I bought to add to my other Google devices and as a music player when I'm working around the house. It's easy to set up and relatively portable (I have an Amazon Echo speaker that is much heavier). The sound quality is good and it has all of the other Google features. Finally, it works well as a Bluetooth speaker once you learn how to connect it.

I bought this one to replave my old Google speaker I had for years. This one works great and can be very loud if you need it to be. I have had zero issues so far. It is much larger than my last one from google and wish it was a bit smaller, but I would still recommend this to anyone looking for this type of speaker for their home.

The Google Nest Audio is a fantastic upgrade from the Nest Mini. The sound quality is rich and clear—perfect for enjoying music—and it's incredibly responsive for voice commands, making home automation effortless. I bought it to replace two Nest Minis, and I’m beyond satisfied. Totally worth it

Speaker has good audio. Can get pretty loud. Got two so I can pair them together for music in the room. Got them on sale during the holidays for half off.

I bought this on sale to replace a Google Home Mini in my kitchen. I was expecting improved sound over the Mini, but was pleasantly surprised by the clean bass and generally well rounded audio.

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 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.

It was a very useful and life altering device! I use it for a lot of my life routines and day to day uses. It has great connectivity options with other smart home tech and it even has absolute ground breaking audio for in home use for median to larger sized room. I don’t know if I could do with out it tbh and would love to get another.
