    Honestly, this is my first review on Best Buy ever. But I have recently started getting my home set up with smart tech, and this speaker has changed my whole idea. I think I might get one of these instead of the mini just because it sounds that good for $100. It's also aesthetically pleasing which helps, and I enjoy that you can turn off the microphone with a switch on the back. The volume button and pause and stop button are really fun to use once you get used to them. I also have a pixel 4a, so my whole set up is run through that. So far, google home and the set up for any smart device has been seamless, and the assistant is the best out there.

    This speaker packs a punch for its size. I own two of these. along with other variations of google speakers and this one is right up there for clarity and quality with the google home max that was sadly discontinued. Would buy again if looking to upgrade my smaller speakers. I have not tried to pair them into stereo but I am assuming they will sound even better than a single!

    Not a super big improvement over the Nest Mini to be frank. The mic is the same if not worse the only thing here is that this one gets louder and might sound better. Returned since the nest mini gets plenty loud.

    The speaker works great. What i like about google speakers is that i can control a lot of my appliances in my house. The 3 month free youtube premium is the best they let me listen to all the music without ads. This is amazing as with this speaker i can play music all day without having to click any buttons. Im able to add alarms and timers with just my voice. The sound is rich and clear. The speaker is the perfect volume for my small room.

      Hey there, Vman. We’re glad you’re enjoying the good looks and great sound from the Nest Audio, though we hear you on wanting to listen to what you want. For clarification, you can still stream YouTube Music and Spotify to Nest Audio, though without a subscription it’s limited to a station of songs inspired by the song, album, or artist you asked for. When you have a subscription to either service, you can play content on demand.

      Here’s a link with more detailed information: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7030379?sjid=16496614984950040784-NC Nest

    What a blessing to add this to my kids night time routine. I say the magic words and after lights turn off, thunderstorm sounds play with great quality from this speaker to help my kids fall asleep. It’s been a blessing for my wife and I so far.

    The sound in this slightly larger Nest Audio is fine. As long as you are not looking for an immersive sound experience this smart speaker is good plus simple to set up and easy to use.

    This thing is better than a remote control. Sets timers turns on and off plugs and lights. Music to clean house with or ocean noises to slip off to sleep with. Answers my random questions also. I enjoy this thing.
