    Can't Live Without It!

    At first I was a little skeptical on whether I would use a product like this, thinking now "they" are going to know what I do but let's be honest, they're listening anyway. I love it! It's easy to set up and turns out I added so many other devices like my TV, robot vacuum, lights, locks that I will never go without it. It's so convenient when you're thinking of something to add to say your shopping list but your phone or notepad is not nearby so you just tell Google to add it. And my favorite command is Hey Google find my phone, lol. And the sound quality when playing music is superb. I would even say as good as my wireless Bose speaker. I also purchased 2 Google minis for other rooms. Pricey but worth it. I do wish it wasn't so big, maybe a cylinder size would look more pleasing. Overall great purchase and get the extended warranty. I purchased one and a few weeks later, it didn't work so Best Buy exchanged and my warranty is still active.

    Affordable Addition for Home Audio

    Bought this speaker to complete a surround sound experience in our home by adding it into our existing mesh network points. Very happy with how quick & easy this was to add to our current Google Home system and pleased with the sound quality. The built-in assistant is a nice bonus, even if we don't use it all that often. Won't deliver the same deep bass or volume of a more expensive system but it works perfectly when synced up with other Google speakers around the house.

    This smart speaker has been a great addition to my home. The sound quality is clear with good bass for its size, and it easily fills the room. Setup was quick, and it connects smoothly with my other devices. I really like the voice assistant feature—it makes playing music, setting reminders, and checking the weather super convenient. Overall, it’s reliable, stylish, and worth the purchase.

    Love this speaker. Sound is amazing, beautiful minimal design. It gets pretty loud and will surprise you with the clarity and pure volume. Price point can't be beat. The only drawback is that if you want to pair to your TV, it takes some tinkering. Aside from that, I cannot think of any complaints. Great job Google.

    Much better than the original Home

    I have several original google homes in my house and saw these on sale for $60.00....I ended up buying 3 of them to replace my original google homes and couldn't be happier. Although these are called Google (NEST) audio, these are basically google homes on steroids, they are not just speakers....anything the google home can do this can do as well or better. The sound quality is far superior to the google homes, google mini and google hubs. another great feature is the command execution is almost instantaneous! when you give it a command it responds and does the command very quicky. If I ask it to turn on my lights, with in a second the lights are on very quick! another pro to the google audio is its looks....it just fits in very well with any decor. And finally, it gets pretty loud versus the other google home products. If you have an original google home, or mini this google audio is worth buying and replacing the originals with especially if you play music on your google homes! Pros: looks good, sounds really good, is loud and has a very quick command execution. Cons: none found as of yet.

    A Great Speaker For Invested Google Home Users

    We purchased 2 of these to add to our Google Home Network. We have these in our living room. You can pair them together as stereo speakers however we have ours placed in two different locations. Pros: - Sleek appearance - Solid feel - Easy to use controls - Nice sound Cons: - Had to exchange one that kept dropping from Wifi network even after factory reset. We mainly use them for full house music listening but, also utilize the mics for Home commands! You can turn the mic on or off on the devices as well as pause the music or increase/decrease the volumes all on the device which is nice. They pair rather effortlessly with the intuitive setup process in the Home app but it could be a little more streamlined. We had to exchange one as it kept dropping from the wifi network. Thankfully this happened during the extended holiday return period! These aren't a must have but if you enjoy music and use voice commands a lot for your Google Home network it is a great addition!

    I bought it at $69.00 during Black Friday in July, and am very happy with it. I have an old nest mini and this integrated seamlessly! I didn't have to reconfigure my lights, tv, or thermostat. It was literally plug and play! Sound quality is MUCH better than the mini, but I kept it and now have music on multiple speakers in my house. I'm very happy

    Amazing speaker. Not only works with Google assistant but the sound quality is very impressive. The best part is the ability to connect to other Google speakers, which will give you the ability to create your own sound system through the house

    The Nest Audio sounds fantastic, with clear highs and surprisingly deep bass for its size. It’s been great for music and voice commands, but I do wish it had a built-in clock like some Echo models. Sometimes you can find these for $50 (or 2 for $100). We have 2 in our home, and a Nest Hub as well.

    Has great connectivity. I've found if you are looking for a smart speaker that has quality sound without breaking the bank, and are not beholden to the amazon specific offerings (like adding things to an amazon shopping list), this is preferable for me. It also uses better natural language in my opinion than the other. Also if you're like me and like to ask your smart speaker random questions, I find the google assistant provides me more comprehensive answers.

    First of all I really like the Google assistant. In combination with Gemini the assistant offers up far more information than any other AI on most topics. The sound quality and volume are good! I fully expect that this device’s capabilities will continue to improve. At this time it’s not as good at controlling smart devices but they may be my current setup.

    I bought to add to my other Google devices and as a music player when I'm working around the house. It's easy to set up and relatively portable (I have an Amazon Echo speaker that is much heavier). The sound quality is good and it has all of the other Google features. Finally, it works well as a Bluetooth speaker once you learn how to connect it.

    The Google Nest Audio is a fantastic upgrade from the Nest Mini. The sound quality is rich and clear—perfect for enjoying music—and it's incredibly responsive for voice commands, making home automation effortless. I bought it to replace two Nest Minis, and I’m beyond satisfied. Totally worth it

    google delivers amazing sound with massive bass and pretty loud volumes. it connects with all your subscription music services, and can do anything your smart assistant can. it does not have any issues with your phone assistant because it takes over and does as you command. works flawlessly with the google nest smart home thermostat, and all my other smart home devices. I liked it so much i went back for a second one for another room. Much more responsive and accurate than amazon alexa devices.

    Overall the sound quality is decent but not as good as some Bluetooth portable speakers out there with similar size It is worth $50 Also it doesn’t support casting from YouTube. It is supported through YouTube music app. It should support from YouTube.
