    Don't rely on the unrefined audio you hear in the store. Small little speaker that sounds beautifully after you adjust Google Home's equalizer or better yet, when you connect it via bluetooth and your phone's more comprehensive equalizer kicks in.

    Good sound for my living room space. I found that the Google assistant is more responsive than in my Nest Mini (I will investigate as soon as I get an opportunity). I l love that we can synchronize all my Nest Smart speakers to play simultaneously or individually.

    Music Streaming Does is Disappointing

    Sounds decent. Google Assistant works well. Does not work well with Apple Music. I have deleted and reinstalled the Apple Music app and the Google Home app several times, yet the service stops working after the first song. I get an error that says I'm using Apple Music on another device. One of the main reasons I purchased the speaker was to stream Apple Music throughout my home. I've had the 1st gen Google Home speaker and a Google Hub for a few years now. They all have been disappointing when it comes to music. Pandora works, but I prefer Apple which I pay for.

    Bought a pair of these for my bedroom. They get plenty loud while still remaining clear. They are also great for multi-room audio which I have connected throughout my entire house. It is nice to walk from one room to another and hear the same music perfectly in sync.

    Game changer for my house. I’ve have several Mini’s around the house - after adding just one of these the listening experience has improved dramatically. Looking forward to these coming back down in price to purchase 2-3 more. If you’re shopping for a Mini and this is on sale, get this instead.

    Really nice smart speaker with excellent sound quality. Google assistant is fast and works well. I bought two and was able to pair them together as a stereo pair using the Google Home app. However, I was disappointed that I could not assign them as the primary speakers for my Google TV...apparently they are working on this feature but its not ready yet?

    As part of transitioning to a digital home, it made alot of sense to add Google speakers to control multiple devices throughout the house. I'm a big fan of the broadcast feature. For the size of the speaker, it sounds very good.

    This Smart Speaker works well as the ringer for my Google Nest doorbell as well as a bluetooth speaker when I'm working in the kitchen. I've had to factory reset it once after my internet provider went out. I would recommend this product

    I purchased to of these so I can enjoy stereo sound with my music. Unfortunately pairing the two speakers was slightly difficult and on top of that sound quality wasn't as good as I expected. On the bright side, Google assist works perfectly voices are clear. Some slight improvements will make it a great product.
