lovely sound and clean built
I recently added the Google Nest Speaker to my apartment, and it has transformed my living space. The sleek design seamlessly fits into my decor, and the sound quality is phenomenal. Whether I'm playing music, listening to podcasts, or watching movies, the audio is clear and rich. The convenience of having Google Assistant at my beck and call is a game-changer. I can control lights, check the weather, and even set reminders effortlessly. Setup was a breeze, and the speaker has become the central hub for my smart home devices. The compact size is perfect for my apartment, and the ability to connect multiple Nest speakers for a synchronized audio experience is a great bonus. In short, the Google Nest Speaker has elevated my apartment living to a whole new level of comfort and entertainment. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their home audio and smart home capabilities.

Why I'll never buy a Sonos again
Google is finally realizing that one of the biggest reasons people buy a smart speaker is to be... a speaker. First generation Google Home was a great smart device and a mediocre speaker. Now with the Nest Audio we finally have an incredible Google Assistant device with an incredible speaker. I love the sound it produces. I love how loud it gets. I love the look of it. I love how sensitive the microphones are. I LOVE the price. I was on the fence about buying another Sonos One speaker, but I'm glad I waited because this is half the price, sounds just as good, and is a way better smart speaker. Also for some insane reason you still can't cast music to Sonos. Good riddance Sonos, hello Nest Audio.

GREAT SOUND AND LOOK!!
Google sure has upped there game on this one! The bass is excellent, so is the response time compared to my last Google home product. I don't even need to use other speakers for listening to music or anything like that because it's very submersive with the sound. Yay, I sure am glad I ordered this and I got a great price thank you!!
