    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.

    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 have several original google homes in my house and saw these on sale for $60.00....I ended up buying 3 of them to replace my original google homes and couldn't be happier. Although these are called Google (NEST) audio, these are basically google homes on steroids, they are not just speakers....anything the google home can do this can do as well or better. The sound quality is far superior to the google homes, google mini and google hubs. another great feature is the command execution is almost instantaneous! when you give it a command it responds and does the command very quicky. If I ask it to turn on my lights, with in a second the lights are on very quick! another pro to the google audio is its looks....it just fits in very well with any decor. And finally, it gets pretty loud versus the other google home products. If you have an original google home, or mini this google audio is worth buying and replacing the originals with especially if you play music on your google homes! Pros: looks good, sounds really good, is loud and has a very quick command execution. Cons: none found as of yet.

    Efficiency and Comfort for a Modern Home

    I purchased Google Home for my daughter, and it has quickly become an indispensable tool in our home. She has configured it to handle scheduled tasks, such as turning lights on, dimming them, or switching them off at specific times. The ability to pause Wi-Fi on select devices has been particularly useful, offering a simple way to manage screen time and maintain focus during important hours. Voice commands are another standout feature. They allow her to stack routines effortlessly—for example, a single command can adjust lighting, play music, and provide reminders. This functionality adds a sense of consistency and convenience, making daily routines more predictable and less hands-on. Google Home integrates seamlessly with other smart devices, is easy to set up, and offers extensive customization options. It adapts to preferences, delivering a personalized experience that supports productivity and comfort. For households looking to streamline their tech and enhance efficiency, Google Home is an excellent investment.

    This speaker has pretty good sound for a non-stereo speaker. It connects easily with other Google speakers allowing synchronized music throughout the house. As expected has Google Assistant built in. It looks nice and is more substantial than what you would think by looking at it. Has touch controls on the top and volume display on the front.

    Super easy setup. Clean enough sound. Never disconnects from Network like some other options. Sound quality is decent for the size and the price I got it for ( 49!). If you use google home, its a must have piece. Put one near the shower!

    These have excellent sounds and integrate perfectly with all my other Google devices. I went the Google ChromeCast route for my multi-speaker in house and patio setup and these work perfectly with that. For the price, they are a great deal.

    A Great Speaker For Invested Google Home Users

    We purchased 2 of these to add to our Google Home Network. We have these in our living room. You can pair them together as stereo speakers however we have ours placed in two different locations. Pros: - Sleek appearance - Solid feel - Easy to use controls - Nice sound Cons: - Had to exchange one that kept dropping from Wifi network even after factory reset. We mainly use them for full house music listening but, also utilize the mics for Home commands! You can turn the mic on or off on the devices as well as pause the music or increase/decrease the volumes all on the device which is nice. They pair rather effortlessly with the intuitive setup process in the Home app but it could be a little more streamlined. We had to exchange one as it kept dropping from the wifi network. Thankfully this happened during the extended holiday return period! These aren't a must have but if you enjoy music and use voice commands a lot for your Google Home network it is a great addition!

    I picked up 1 of these to relocate my (still going) Best Buy Insignia speaker. After I set this up and heard the quality difference over the Insignia speaker, I ordered a second one for stereo sound. I would say the audio of 1 is very good. A second one for stereo is only a slight improvement.

    I bought it at $69.00 during Black Friday in July, and am very happy with it. I have an old nest mini and this integrated seamlessly! I didn't have to reconfigure my lights, tv, or thermostat. It was literally plug and play! Sound quality is MUCH better than the mini, but I kept it and now have music on multiple speakers in my house. I'm very happy

    I bought two. Initially I purchased the Nest Mini. Great sound in itself for the size. With the mini I purchased two C by GE smart lights. I put one in corner that is out of the way. The light paired easily after downloading Google Home app and the C by GE app. I have since moved those two items to my bedroom. The two Nest Audio are now in the living room. I previously transferred my music library to my phone, about 6000 songs. I downloaded the Hi-cast app. After pairing the two Nest Audios it is easy to send the music from my phone to these two speakers, perfect stereo sound. Of course, you can still ask about the weather, or just about anything I imagine. Though I haven't yet figured out out to change from metrics to feet. Such as asking how tall is Mount Everest. The answer was provided in meters.

    We use it as a bathroom speaker for playing music/audio books in the shower as well as taking commands. It works great even with the water running. Good audio quality and it gets very loud. Small enough to disappear on a small shelf but good audio.

    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.
