    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.

    Needs Gemini to be relevant but still good

    I'm a huge Google fan boy. I've had the Google home pro Max for 7 years now. To be honest it still worked so let's talk about the pros and the cons as to why I purchased a new speaker. In terms of power this speaker is actually fairly close in volume to the Google home pro Max which is roughly three times the size. Very impressive audio quality. But the real truth is until there is some Google Gemini integration into this device it will fail comparing to more modern solutions. Unfortunately oftentimes the questions I have are better answered by chatgpt.

    The sound quality of the Nest Audio devices is clear at any volume, which is fantastic. Though it doesn't seem to feel quite as loud as the Alexa devices we're replacing, the sound quality itself is better across the board, which is a worthy tradeoff. The Google Assistant is also the absolute best there is out there, which makes this device a fantastic addition to any room. OK Google detection is insanely reliable, and the natural-flow of conversing with the Assistant makes it feel far more personable than Alexa. I highly recommend!

    I purchased two of these new Nest Audios to replace an existing original Google Home, and a Google Home Mini, both located in different rooms in the house. The overall sound quality is much better than both outgoing speakers and I'm very pleased with how they round out my whole home setup, which now consists of these two Nest Audios, plus a Google Home Max, two Home Minis, and a Home Hub. These are the perfect middle ground between the Mini and the Max. Direct comparison to the older Google Home, these sound much more neutral and balanced, it's not trying to overdo anything and just overall pleasing to listen to. I would like if it were a tad louder, but for the price it's solid.

    I recently bought this google nest and I’m really impressed with how well it performs. The sound quality is crystal clear, with deep bass and balanced sounds fantastic. Even at high volume, there’s no distortion — just clean, rich sound.

    I really enjoy the speaker and got it on sale which (the sale price deserves 5 stars). The sound quality is rich & obviously it has the smart features if your home is integrated for them. The only downside is being unable to set alarms to music (Spotify, Apple Music, etc). When prompted it says the option is no longer available. Still would purchase again.

    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.

    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.

    I purchased two of these speaker when the were on sale a few weeks ago and set them up as a stereo pair. In fact these make the third pair that I have. I use them everyday to listen to YouTube Music and SiriusXM. The combination of sound quality, convenience, and price make these speakers unbeatable.
