Why you should buy the Google Nest Audio
The Nest Audio is the perfect smart speaker for anyone already in the Google ecosystem. So if that’s you, and you’re in the market for a smart speaker, there’s really no need to read any further. Just go grab one (or more) of these Audios, and thank us later. They sync up great with all the stuff from your Android phone like contacts and calendars, and they pair seamlessly with other Nest products. We named the Audio our Editor’s Choice pick in our roundup of the best smart speakers.
Even for those that haven’t gone all-in on Google products yet, the Nest Audio is still very much worth your consideration. It’s one of the best-sounding smart speakers we’ve tested in this size and price range, and the 3 far-field microphone array is excellent at picking up command words, even at max volume. In our review, Taylor rated the Audio a 9.5 out of 10, and gave a “hard yes” buy recommendation, noting that he immediately picked up a second speaker for wireless stereo sound.
If you’re looking for caveats, there’s no auxiliary input, so it’s possible to’t plug in a phone or other audio source, and there is a significant audio-video lag over Bluetooth. But neither of these issues are by any means exclusive to Nest Audio, and we don’t consider them to be deal-breakers. Grab the Google Nest Audio while you can at this price, and hurry, the sale ends on January 19th!
