Google Nest Audio

Get cozy and nestle up with Google’s latest smart speaker.

Nest Audio is an approachable, entry-level smart speaker for the minimalist music lover. This compact speaker produces excellent audio quality for its size, and is a great jack-of-all-trades. Google Assistant and Chromecast integration make it easy to set reminders, make inquiries, stream your favorite podcasts, and more. For under $100, the Nest Audio speaker is a great value.

The Google Nest Audio is a great smart speaker. I’ve personally compared it to the Amazon Echo, its direct competitor, and can say the Nest Audio’s sound quality is much better. It also looks really nice, featuring a fabric cover that will make it blend into any environment elegantly.

Of course, looks and sound quality are only part of the equation. This is a smart speaker, after all, and it is full of intelligent features. The Nest Audio gives you direct access to Google Assistant, so you can use voice commands to get information, set timers, create alarms, use routines, manage reminders, play music, control your smart home devices, and much more. It also comes with Chromecast support, making it simple to Cast media to it from any smart device. You can even set up a couple of speakers for stereo sound, and you can also set up multi-room playback.

Remember, the Google Nest Audio isn’t discounted very often, so take the chance while you can. We’re not sure when we’ll see it at this lower price point again, and we don’t know when this sale ends.
