    Amazing sound quality. The mic does a great job picking up audio requests even with TV noise in the same room. I paired it with another Nest Audio for stereo sound. More than loud enough to fill a 300 sq ft room.

    The speaker's performance in a retail environment is significantly superior to its performance in a residential setting. Additionally, the assistant's response time is unacceptably slow, I will retain my Alexa device.

    Gets Glitchy Over Time

    Ordered this speaker to pair with my smart home's Nest ecosystem. Boy was that a mistake! Over time it has become increasingly "dumb". The assistant is so bad at executing commands that we only use this as a bluetooth speaker. Simple commands like "what time does ... close?" is always met with a "A glitch occured, please try again" or "Something went wrong, please try again" response. It happens 70% of the time and and this point we just don't bother using it. We've unplugged the device, cleaned it, reset the assistant voice features. No fix. Another issue I have is with casting spotify music to this speaker. I can't tell you how many times it fails to connect or some strange glitch occurs where Spotify becomes desynced with the device. It's just always a headache dealing with this speaker. Unfortunately, this is another product from Google that has damaged my perception of their quality. From their Pixels, to their smart hub, to the smart speakers, it all seems to fail or get worse over time. So disappointed.

    Unfortunately I couldn't hook this up to work with my TV which is the reason I purchased. It looks great and the sound quality is excellent and this why I rated five stars but I had to return it.

    The Mid/High are good, but the low is too weak when comparing to SONOS ONE SL.

    Love this speaker! I upgraded from a nest Mini to a pair of these for my living room and I created a stereo pair. They fill the room really well, are responsive, and I love the sage color!

    Sounds great. So much more bass than my last Google Speaker. No dial that's difficult to adjust the volume. Just tap the top right or left.
