Customers are delighted by the Nest Audio's excellent sound quality, ease of use, and impressive bass response. Many appreciate its compact size and stylish design, finding it easy to set up and integrate with the Google Assistant. However, some users have experienced issues with Bluetooth connectivity and software glitches. A lack of aux input was also noted as a drawback by some customers.

    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.

    Smart Home Upgrade Made Easy

    Picked up a Google Nest from Best Buy and couldn’t be happier. The staff helped me choose the right one for my home, and setup was simple and fast. It works great with my other smart devices and makes everyday stuff like adjusting the thermostat or checking the weather super convenient. Best Buy made the whole experience smooth from start to finish.

    Love the Google Nest smart speaker. I have listened to hours of music on the speaker. Very full and clear sound. This is actually the third Nest speaker I have purchased and will not hesitate to get this speaker if I need another.

    I have Google as my start home system and I have a Nest Hub Max, and a Nest Mini speaker as the main voice control devices. I saw this speaker on sale for 50% off, so I bought two of them. Now I can cast music too all my google speakers as a surround sound system in my dining room. The speaker is more responsive to voice command comparing to the Hub. They are good speakers for average need. If you want a full blown immersive sound system with a log o adjustments, these are not the ones. But for average everyday use, smart home control, these are excellent.

    I waited 2 years to buy these. Kept thinking they’d come out with a new model or someone would post a pretty annoying issue. Which btw, when you disable the mic on the speakers there is an annoying ORANGE LIGHT that is always visible. So if you wanted to just Bluetooth audio and not worry of the always listening google overlords, you can’t without a bright Orange light. Anyways, the sound is great, but the sound is awesome with 2. Typically the case with a lot of speakers, they sound better in pairs. These go on sale twice a year. Wait for the sale and buy 2

    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.

    Works and sounds great. Use it almost everyday. Only reason for less than 5 stars is that it's not super easy to connect. The other issue, mostly my own for not researching better, is that I can't just connect via Bluetooth. Brought it camping thinking we could chill with some good music and could only chill... No music.

    Sound quality is noticably better than old Google Home or obviously the Nest Mini speakers or Nest Hub Mini. Really wish they would bring back the big Google Home Max speaker for actually impressive sound, as this still can't begin to compete with the likes of Sonos/Bose/etc. The Google Assistant however has stagnated and doesn't feel like it's improved at all over the last 5 years or so, which is disappointing when buying a new product. But it's a solid product overall and if you're into the Google Home ecosystem it's a no-brainer recommendation.

    We used to struggle with the Nest MIni hearing us when the music was playing above 50% volume, but this hears us much easier so we’re not having to scream from 20 feet away to turn down the volume. Sound output is also much better. The low end has the biggest increase in sound quality compared to the mini. For $50 it was definitely worth the upgrade.

    This speaker is one of my favorite possessions. I use it for everything. I ask tens of questions a day, I have background music going at almost all times, and I use it to control my smart devices. It's a wonderful smart speaker. Easy to set up, and works well. It can understand me well, and does a good job answering my questions. I prefer this to the amazon echo.
