Great sound but has issues in connecting bluetooth
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The sound is pretty good for a small room or a 1 br apt. No complaints on the sound. The issue I have is connecting to Google TV and pixel phones. It always disconnect and kind of annoying.

Works well with my smart home setup
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Minimal look with pretty good sound and bass. While I think alexa works better with voice commands I feel like google works better controlling my 3rd party devices.

Great sound quality for music

Works great but lack of loud and crisp sound
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Speaker has good build quality and google assistance is bliss. I was expecting more loud and clear sound from this speaker as it’s at mark of $100 which is 2x or 3x compared to nest mini.

Not Bad

Good speaker
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I Love this item! The sound quality is great on it.
I would recommend this to a friend Good Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to use Apple and switched to Google Pixel. It's crazy that these are only $100.00 compared to the $300.00 Homepod (Which is better overall) or even the Homepod Mini which is $100.00 (But isn't as good as Google Audio.) These are a great Value and amazing addition to anyone who is looking to get into the Google Ecosystem.
