I was sold on the Google Home ($129) when it launched in 2016. I still am. The speaker still has a prominent placement in my house and I dig the little colors and lights when I call on it.The idea of getting something smarter, louder, and less expensive o...

A vast improvement over Google Home. Really good, I didn't have to shout to be heard, even with music cranked, Launching at $99, $30 cheaper than the first-generation Home did, Google Home's "air freshener" look was interesting, but Nest Audio blends in b
You can't wire the Nest Audio to an audio source the way you can the Google Home Max
Nest Audio9.5/10Hard yes. At $99, the Nest Audio is a bargain, especially when you remember that the Google Home launched at $129 back in 2016. It does everything you've come to expect of the Google Assistant just as well as Google Home — better, even, th...
Excellent sound quality for the price, Attractive, understated design, Excellent microphone quality, Google Assistant is very useful, Intuitive touch controls, dedicated mute switch
Still some software glitches
Source: Daniel Bader / Android CentralI've grown to enjoy the Nest Audio a lot since I received a pair to test last week. It's a capable, attractive, and understated piece of hardware that will likely go on to sell very well given the success of the origi...
Decent price, Compact design, Excellent audio for its size, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0, Integrated Chromecast

Much improved audio quality compared to predecessor, Google Assistant can do a lot of stuff, Attractive price, Can pair two in stereo for a better music experience
Compact size limits the punch of bass and volume output, Playing specific music through voice commands can be hit or miss, Multiroom voice controls are unreliable
Abstract: Besides the headlining Pixel 4a 5G and Pixel 5 smartphones at Google's “Launch Night In” event hosted this afternoon, Google also took the wraps off the new Nest Audio and the Chromecast with Google TV. These devices should make entertaining easy with the...
Significant sound quality upgrade, Reasonable price tag, Great design
Might not be enough of an upgrade over the Google Home for some people, Amazon's upcoming new Echo speakers could feature better sound quality, No in-line 3.5mm headphone jack
"If you've been waiting to pick up a smart speaker for the first time, the Nest Audio is one of the best options out there in this price range"...
Bright and loud, Cute design, Looks less like a speaker, Microphones pick up on commands quite well, Great value
Bass needs work, No battery and needs to be plugged in, Isn't necessarily easy to link up to the rest of your smart speakers
While it's not necessarily as warm as other speakers in the market, the Google Nest Audio delivers a lot of sound for what you pay, making it a solid deal. This speaker is loud and proud, almost unabashedly so. It's bright and dynamic, and ready to handle...
