Completely died after 1 year google has absolutely no customer service and no way to have them fix it. It also never worked that good either. Do yourself a favor and by an Amazon Eco.

I went full Amazon Echo for a home theater recently. The software is just too buggy to put up with, so I returned it. I decided to try Google instead. I got a set of 2 and paired them up as a stereo. By the way, getting a second Nest speaker and pairing them is definitely worth it. The sound quality is amazing. I went into the equalizer in the app and turned the bass up all the way. It sounds like a pair of mid/high end bookshelf speakers.
I also like Google because their software works much better than Amazon. That's especially true with Bluetooth. Once you set it up, it perfectly synced and it connects to literally anything...a feature Amazon doesn't have with Echo. I tried connecting my speaker pair to my TV Bluetooth. To my delight, it actually makes an amazing soundbar. My TV actually syncs the audio/visual together perfectly. And it has a halfway decent amount of rumble to it.
If you want a good smart speaker, Google does it far better than Echo. If you want amazing sound, get a second, and pair them up...then turn the bass up all the way. Connect them to a TV bluetooth, and you have a smart soundbar that you can disconnect/reconnect with a simple voice command.

Google Assistant is what it is. Either you like & use Assistant or not. For using Assistant this speaker checks the boxes. Where the Nest speaker shines in a sea of voice assistant speakers is it's sound quality. This little speaker sounds amazing, especially when paired with another for stereo sound. You'd be hard pressed to find any speaker that sounds this good for $100 & $50 when it goes on sale sometimes.

The Google Home Speaker is very easy to use and sounds great. The product come with the speaker and a power cable. Plug it in, turn it on, and open your google home app on your smart device.

We are struggling and not lisiting correctly and we can stop it also and we can't reduce the volume also,
Alexa was much better and kids can talk to Alexa without any issues

Hi Googlehome32,
We value your feedback and we're sorry to hear of the difficult experience you have in controlling the sound volume for your Nest Audio Speaker.

Set volume to 65%.". - Control volume by touching the Nest Audio Speaker. You can tap on both the left (to lower the volume) and right (to increase the volume) top side corner on the front of the speaker to adjust the volume. - Control Volume from the Google Home app. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network or linked to the same account as your speaker or display. Open the Google Home app. Tap your speaker or display and then adjust the volume.
If none of the steps to adjust the volume for your Nest Audio Speaker work, we recommend reaching out to our support team, so that we can assist you and offer a resolution to fix the issue here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I’ve had one of these for years and it fills anywhere I have lived throughout college and my early adulthood life with excellent sound. I’d definitely recommend one of these to anyone looking for a good speaker to cast music to.

Excellent Poor Man's Sonos

The audio quality is amazing and the speaker grouping is the killer feature. Forget Sonos and save hundreds of $$. On top of this add google assistant and its a done deal. You can group it with any google chromecast device from soundbar to TV. I have the tiny best audio connected to this device all over my house and its amazing. Just buy it!

I love this thing it really packs a lot more volume and bass than you would expect. Plus google assistant is great for setting up lighting and alarm schedules in your home.

Very good speaker when it works. Clear highs, solid bass response, overall good tuning with more tuning options in the app. However the software for this speaker often causes it not to connect to Bluetooth or work with casting audio. Outside of these issues the speaker is great.
