Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the excellent sound quality, encompassing impressive bass and ample volume, as key strengths of the Smart Speaker. Many also praise its ease of use and seamless integration with the Google Assistant. However, some users mention challenges with connectivity and express that the speaker's size is larger than anticipated. The lack of a battery is another recurring point of feedback.

    I own the Harman/Kardon Onyx Studio and it has fabulous sound. This speaker does not live up to that one however does sound better than the smaller Google mini’s if you’re trying to expand assistants with a higher level of sound quality. You can feel the bass although you are unable to adjust the sound settings (bass/treble/mids). I would recommend this product but only with a discount of some kind.

    I was expecting something smaller and more portable when I initially order it. However, it’s an amazing speaker and told my wife I wish I had ordered another one since they were on sale. Will definitely keep my eye out for the sale again to order one for my home gym.

    Sound quality is decent. Bass is acceptable, vocals are clear enough and volume peaks at a good level. I picked up two for 80 bucks each. I would be more critical if I had paid full price. My only complaints are with the Google voice assistant. There are time it won't hear you due to the music volume. This has not been an issue with comparable Alexa devices. More frustrating is that it will not recognize device names sometimes. For example, telling it to stop playing music in the kitchen, while you are in the living room and visa versa. It will reply that it doesn't recognize that device at times but works fine other times. Unfortunately, its more often that it will not work. They are very good for their intended use wich is casual back ground music synced between two rooms. I know crap speakers and these are not in that category. Nor are they on any elite lists. My main listening speakers are Martin Logan electrostats.

    Oh, the sound... the SOUND! It's so big and brilliant from such a small device. I mean, when you combine an HK speaker with Google, the world is at your command. Listen to Spotify or Apple Music - whatever your fancy. You can get news, weather, podcasts... whatever you'd be requesting through your Google Home or Google Mini, it's all the same, but with smooth, crisp, bass-filled sound. This is wonderful!

    Love this speaker! Especially when I got it on sale, then it mashes it even sweeter! Sounds and bass are awesome! This isn't a portable speaker as it needs to be plugged in but the inconvenience of unplugging it if you want to use it somewhere is worth the sound quality. Google assistant is just as good as on a Google product.

    This Harmon Kardon Citation One packs power.... crisp sound quality and comes with google assist. I was able to pair with my google home and play music from my playlist on voice command. I would have loved to have an app to control my music settings..

    Love the versatility of the device - you could use it as a Google Home assistant OR a bluetooth speaker. It sounds great either way! Love the style of it as well. It blends into your home with its classic, understated look. Got it on sale, so it's a really good deal. I'd definitely recommend watch out for its sale

    I really love this , since I listen to alot music. Great sounding with a nice bass that a lot of the Google Assistants don't have. My only drawback was there is no clock on it at all. Yes you can ask, Google what the time is but I would of liked just to peak at it! A great buy!

    Purchased on deal of the day. It’s bigger and heavier than I thought. Like that it is wireless, but there is no handle to carry from room to room. Good sound as is loud enough so guess this will just stay where we have it and purchase something else to move from inside to outside.

    Amazing sound quality from this tiny buddy. Google assistant is amazing on this one. Microphone is amazing and picks up voice from really far in the room. Sound gets loud enough that it feels like a proper sound system. you can add another to get full stereo boom!

    Great sound, even at high volume. Slightly bass heavy, wish it could be turned down. No physical controls for music, only by voice(Google assistant). Happy with buying this on sale.

    Great sound, at a great price. These occasionally go on sale at Best Buy, and if you see a sale, grab it. Easy to set up and hook into your Google Home network. Vast improvement over the standard Home Hub and Mini sounds.

    Sound quality is amazing! The only real downside here is that It has trouble connecting to Google from time to time. But when it works perfectly, this speaker blows away any of our Google speakers.
