The editors didn't like
The sound can be a little too revealing
And guitar lines in particular can sound a little too piercing for comfort. If you mainly want background music

Expensive
Heavyweight with a massive footprint
US-only
Variable volume in playlists
Not much good for a nonGoogle user
Smart speaker privacy concerns
Better for some music genres than others

Not as refined as the Sonos Play

More expensive than HomePod

Some minor connectivity issues with the app
