Google’s renewed focus on audio quality pays off – the Nest Audio is a fabulous smart speaker

Effective voice recognition; Reasonable price; Sounds great;

No 3.5mm audio output/input; Slightly fiddly touch controls;

Love our new nest audio. Easy and quick set-up and works perfectly how i expected it to be. Now im looking to get nest minis throughout the house.

The Nest Audio is a solid smart speaker that’ll meet most people’s needs.

Improved sound ; Discrete design ; Easy setup;

Buggy;

Great product, good sound, love that I can tell Google to play music radio stations through speaker, easy to install, I'm 77 and found it easy to do so, would recommend this product

Just saying hey Google and it switches on

I have the original google which is better than the nest. The sound is not better and it seems to glitch when receiving instructions

Love the features

Google promises big things when it comes to the sound quality of the successor to the original Google Home smart speaker, but while it is an improvement, it doesn’t deliver the jump in performance we were hoping for. However, it does work very well as a smart speaker, thanks to the good microphones and clear voice output, and it’s certainly good enough for listening to background music.

Subtle and unassuming design; Picks up voice commands very well; Better sound than its predecessor;

Missing detail in the mids and trebles; Can sound harsh at higher volumes

Improved sound on Google Home; Voice commands are picked up well; Neat, unassuming design; Good value;

Sound lacks some detail and dynamism; Can distort at loud volumes;
