    Nice smart speaker from Google

    Great speaker with nice sound and adaptive sound that adjusts to the room to optimize sound. The bass is not as powerful as the Google Max but it's a much smaller form factor and packs enough sound to nicely fill a room. If you already have the older Google Home smart speaker, it's not a necessity to get this speaker. It's nice but it's not a game changer. Overall, if you want good sound from a nice smart speaker at a reasonable price, this checks all the boxes.

    Seems to be all we needed. My kid wanted it for her birthday for ease of streaming music. Sound quality is perfect for her room and her use..we have a Nest Hub downstairs so we don't use the full functionality of this speaker, but it is handy for her to.listen to music, easily set an alarm, and basic functions.

    I have one speaker in every main room of my house. Sound quality is good! Volume does not get super loud at max volume but it is good for entire house music if adjoining rooms have speakers to blend in sound. One large room I have two speakers set up as stereo sound which goes well to fill the room whereas the other rooms oy need one speaker because they are smaller aquare foot rooms.

    I used to have a google home mini (1st gen) before I bought the nest audio. But I feel, if you go beyond 50$ price point, nest audio is the best product till date. I'm using it for timers while cooking, playing music (For more than 60% of the time) cuz of it's great audio quality with amazing bass for the size and compactness it packs.

      Hey Teena,

      We appreciate you for sharing your feedback with us. We´re glad you loved the Nest Audio Speaker. Though, we are sorry to hear of the voice recognition issue and connectivity issue you are having for your mobile phone.

      Here are some steps you can try out that may be helpful in fixing the voice recognition issue:
      1. Reboot your Nest Audio Speaker by disconnecting the power cable from your device and reconnect the power cable.
      2. Make sure your device recognizes the hotword. Say “Hey Google” to your speaker. Check if the LED dots on the top of your device spin or blink, indicating that it recognized the hotword.
      3. Make sure your device recognizes the question correctly. Ask your Assistant the question again. Say "Hey Google, repeat the question" to make sure your Assistant understood you correctly. If it's still not recognizing the question, try to speak slower or try another question.
      4. Adjust the hotword sensitivity of your device. If your speaker often has trouble activating when you say “Hey Google” or "Ok Google,” you can adjust how sensitive Google Assistant listens when you say “Hey Google.” by following the guide on this link: https://support.google.com/assistant/answer/9712065

      Factors affecting the connectivity between your Nest Audio Speaker and mobile phone may include issues with either your Wi-Fi network and mobile phone. You may try to follow some troubleshooting steps below to further isolate the issue:
      - Make sure your home Wi-Fi is working.
      - Check your app version and update the Google Home app if needed.
      - Restart your router and modem.
      - Check the settings on your Wi-Fi router or access point.

      If you'd like us to have a look into the issue further and provide some assistance, please feel free to contact us here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Decent sound quality and loudness for the size. I was looking for a speaker that was a little more powerful than the mini speaker for music and this fit the bill. I'm sure there are better speakers out there but at the price and with Google home operability it was an easy choice for me.

    Bought this to expand my music playing when I entertain in my backyard. Wanted something with better sound than my smaller google speakers did. It's been perfect. So good that I don't even have to put it outside. I simply turn it to face my screen door to my backyard, from the same sidetable it sits on normally, and set whatever music source I want to stream from. Exactly what I wanted it to do. I expect it will be a great source for music during my holiday parties as well.
