The speaker's performance in a retail environment is significantly superior to its performance in a residential setting. Additionally, the assistant's response time is unacceptably slow, I will retain my Alexa device.

Not as great as the original Google Home Max but still has clear and crisp sound. Only significant difference I can tell is less bass and less volume. However it's worth noting the price point, which in comparison to the $400 Google Home Max, is great value.

This replaced a first gen Google home. It is a much lower quality. The sound is much thinner and it consistently drops the connection to my home systems.

Not user friendly, not for private music enjoyment

The sound is great but they’re not user friendly unless you have a bunch of subscriptions to media (like Sirius XM or Apple Music). If you’re someone who owns an extensive, personal music library and just want to listen through iTunes on your devices, these speakers won’t work. They also keep dropping the Bluetooth connection regardless of the settings and will often only work after factory resetting, which has to be done every couple of hours. I hate that I spend money on these and wish I’d gotten something else.

Just wow . The quality of sound and tempo is very good. It doesn’t feel cheaply made. As it’s a google assistance, it’s great in helping. But the sound quality is the best item among all.

Does not integrate well with iOS devices and Apple Music.
Hi, Carter. We understand that it can be harder to integrate the iOS device with your Google Nest Audio. By default, apps on iOS are blocked from accessing the local network. When setting up your Wi-Fi network, you'll need to grant the Google Home app access to the local network on your iOS device.Go to your iOS device's Settings.Make sure Bluetooth is on. To turn it on, tap Bluetooth and tap the toggle.Scroll down, then tap the Google Home app.Tap the Local Network toggle on.To get more information by clicking: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/12961504Regarding playing music from Apple Music, first link your Apple Music account in the Google Home app. You can also select Apple Music as your default music streaming service. Then, all you have to do is say, “Hey Google, play the New Music Daily playlist,” or “Hey Google, play the Rap Life playlist.” If you need further assistance, you can contact us through the following link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
