Voice™ Smart Portable Bluetooth Speaker and Alarm Clock with Google Assistant - Gray/Black

First off.. I posted a youtube video comparison between this insignia, the smaller insignia and the google home and home mini using shure microphones with no gain change. Search youtube for "MtnXfreeride Insignia Voice" to see it. I hear no difference between plugged in and running off battery which I like. This speaker is a little lacking on the highs/clarity. It can sound like the sub is straining at high volume. I wish hovering my hand or pressing the circle button on the top would initiate google assistant but they dont. Temperature only shows for 5 seconds and ONLY when you ask. Sound quality is very similar to the Google Home - it is better on some songs with its extra speaker for bass and it gets louder (by a bit). This speaker doesn't dim down the highs on bass hits las much as the google home sometimes does. I have only run it off battery with music for 1.5 hours at a time and had no issues. I can bring it into the bathroom while I shower which is nice. I wish it could charge wirelessly via a charging pad or dock to plop it in or have a magnetic plug. Its a very nice looking speaker and seems to be a quality built insignia product. I like the carry handle too. I am sure another company can put out a more powerful product like this, but I am betting it will cost 2x this product. I think its a good value.

Pros: Sound volume and quality is quite good for the discounted price. Works just fine with Google Assistant for most features (no calls, no porting audio from TV to this speaker). Cons: Battery doesn't last very long, maybe 3 hours maximum. Even when not playing music, just being disconnected to AC. Occasionally loses WiFi connection and requires restarting the unit. After approximately 2 1/2 years in, the digits on the temperature display started going out. Who knows how long the other digits will last.

Insignia Voice is first smart speaker in my house. I would say that it's a nice and smart replacement for the alarm clock in our bedroom :) The installation was easy and quick. It connected to my wi-fi without any issues. The integration with google home app is a nice feature. It's responsiveness to "hey google" or "ok google" is pretty amazing (at least to me and my son). It is able to pick up my voice commands from the other corner of my bedroom. The sound quality is decent. I haven't really used it much more than that but to me these were the primary operations for a smart speaker in my bedroom and this little guy fits the bill perfectly. I would recommend this to my friends.

This speaker has great sound and Google assistant, allowing me to do everything I can do with my Google home. Having a clock displayed is a big plus, for me anyway. The top of the unit is blank until you put your hand close to it, then the volume controls light up, nice touch. The only thing is, this speaker is rather large compared to the Google home. Since I bought it online and picked it up at the store, I wasn't aware of how large it actually is. No big deal, just be aware there is a difference in the footprint if your used to how small the Google unit is. (see pic) Highly recommended.

Works awesome I use it as my bathroom stereo, use it pretty much every day google assistant is nice but not even necessary just a pretty nice sounding Bluetooth speaker in itself. Everything else I consider to be a bonus

I don't know where to begin. This was a Super deal at My Super Store , Best Buy. It delivers Quality sound through Google Assistant , all the requested music types at your command ( time and temperature displayed ). It is truly a personal assistant on hand , unlimited resource to information. Then to top all that off, I purchased this at a Black Friday's Best Buy price, an unbelievable deal.

I bought one of these Insignia Smart Portable Bluetooth Speaker and Alarm Clock with Google Assistant for my wife and she fell in love with the Google Assistant! I'm not a tech savvy type or person, but my wife is and she now is always talking to this google assistant as she makes her shopping list and other reminders which she says makes her day that much easier!

I own 2 Google Home devices and 3 Google Home mini devices. This was on sale so I decided to get it because it offered portability with a rechargeable battery and had Google Assistant built in. All I can say is...WOW!!! This thing sound amazing! Seriously sounds way better than my Google Home devices and the fact that I can unplug it and carry it around is a huge benefit! The ability to take it out to the patio without having to stop the music playing while I unplug it to move it and then wait for it to boot back up is amazing! The sound quality in this thing is way better than my Google Home devices! I listen to a lot of music as I move around my home, but can not blast my home stereo as I have neighbors, so this thing makes my quality of like much better! I am planning on saying multiples of this Insignia to my home so that I can enjoy quality sound all over my home! I definitely recommend this device!!
