Best BUY is PREMO don't confuse the two. Now back to the facts! I purchased the whole SMEAR the GOOGLE MAX, 2 MINI'S, NEST doorbell and the NEST thermostat. The NEST products are like BESTBUY PREMO. Anything that relates to the GOOGLE speakers DANGER stay away the BRIDGE is out trouble ahead if you purchase. The support staff for this product can't support themselves let alone these SPEAKERS. If you purchase for the use of the SPEAKERS you may get what you purchased SPEAKERS. For two weeks I've spent time on the phone with GOOGLE support but all is a waste of time. Don't believe anything about escalating your issue to another department for a call back from the engineering department. Iam 68 year old Vietnam Veteran who purchased this JUNK with the intentions of using the features to integrate all my SMART electronics with GOOGLE Max/Mini's. Please don'y make the mistake and purchase this JUNK AHEAD.

Love this speaker. Love it sonud. pumping Bass. Great clarity. The only thing that bugs me somethings the bluetooth cut from my Nvidia Shield abruptly, not sure why. But other than that it's the best bluetooth speaker I ever own.

Google Home Max has 3.5mm, much better sound, and is ~$145 (open box)-$180 (new) now. I have 2 Max stereo setups and have been simply blown away. Since the "open box" purchases I made on Ebay came without the magnetic rubber pads I also added small foam audio isolation pads sold on Amazon that decouple the speaker from the surface they sit on, and they improved the sound even more. Maybe even better than the rubber pads would have. Max beats Nest Audio easily, hands down, in sound, and has the wired 3.5mm input. Max is now officially discontinued as of this month (Dec 2020) in favor of the Nest Audio so I'd hurry and scoop up the Max while you can. Google says they plan to continue supporting the Max (updates, etc).

This Speaker has the Bass to Shake the walls and the Clarity for Audiophiles. Just Simply amazing and Bestbuy offers it with a Free Google Home mini. Killer Deal. Check Out GeekSourceHD on YouTube for an Unboxing!

I want to start out with saying I bought two of these speakers to pair for my entertainment system. There were cheaper options, but I like the ability to have google built in. Now here comes the review. The speakers sound great and look great in the way they are setup in my entertainment center. They are Bluetooth capable and their lies the problem. The speakers by themselves play great and have no issues (using Spotify). The issue is when you connect the speakers through audio cable or through bluetooth using you're phone, iPad or TV there is a notable lag in audio. The lag is software and google is aware of the issue according to multiple forums. When connected through bluetooth to your TV and you’re watching a movie the last thing you want to SEE is the words from actors before you HEAR them through the speakers. The sound is wonderful, but this lag is annoying considering 399.99 per unit. Just keep this in mind if buying for entertainment or a DJ or anything that will make a lag in audio a huge deal breaker.

I wanted some speakers for my garage (man cave) to replace my old ones. I decided to buy the pair instead of one because I read that you could pair them up. After a quick setup, I was amazed at how the sound quality was even at full volume. Loved them and might buy another pair for the house.

If you are looking for a party speaker look no further you will be the life of the party with its thumping bass and loud sound your neighbors will hate you for sure

This is a great choice for a home theater, you can add this max and the other little google speakers that came out in 2020, you will have an awesome sound system.

Great sound. Great price. I can’t believe google discontinued these.

Jumped on them when they were on sale. As a steroid pair they deliver room filling audio. No complaints. However, still prefer a pair of Sonos one over these.

Loud loud LOUD, great product, really sad to hear it is now discontinued as I would have loved to purchase another in the future

Bought it for a friend really loved it good sound loud base

I had an Alexa Show it's no comparison towards The Google Home Max it's top of the line smart device!!

Good loud speaker wanted different color so got that one

Got this as a gift for our adult children. They love it! Easy to install and works great.

It was way bigger then I thought it was going to be, but love it! Super loud and easy to use

Really like the speaker sound. Speciaally buying it on a deal. Did not give it 5stars due to the weight. On the heavier side...so not as portable.

Great value if you can get it on sale $149-$199 Bluetooth needs to be upgraded to 5.

Sounds clear, bass is good and speaker microphones work well, although you may have to raise your voice from another room to get it to hear you(not yell). The information it provided when talking to it is super helpful. Can definitely be your outdoor speaker for a LARGE party. It's awesome. Google assistant is AWESOME with a huge selection of music playlists as well. It is expensive yes but far from overpriced

The Google max is not a $300 speaker, however for $150 makes it a good deal
