Audio groups let you link your Google speakers together to get a surround sound audio experience from them. We’re happy (but not surprised) to see Google Assistant built into it. Google Assistant allows you to talk to the speaker and ask it to do things like play music, turn off your lights, and set reminders. We can see on the box that the Google Audio works with a bunch of other different applications. We’ve got YouTube music, Spotify, Pandora, and Sirius XM. So those are gonna be a lot of the music stuff—I mean, this is a speaker. We’ve also got Google Duo, which is their video phone call app. We’ve got the Google Calendar, Google Maps, and the Phillips Hue, just to name a few more. The power adapter has a nice rectangular design, which is not the typical rounded design that you’re gonna see with other Google products. This is gonna make this device a lot easier to plug into a power strip. It connects to both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi routers. On the top, it’s got touch control that allows you to turn the volume up, turn the volume down, or, if you tap in the center, you can play and pause what you’re listening to. Internally, we’ve got a 75-millimeter woofer and a 19-millimeter tweeter. In addition to that, we’ve also got a quad-core processor. The speaker sounds pretty good so far, and I will tell you that it sounds so much better in person than it does in the recording.

In fact, I keep turning it up because I want to just feel the sound. But when I do that, I’m constantly hearing: “Turn it down!” So that is one possible downside with the speaker is that it does cause a little bit more yelling in the house, but it sounds so good. But for $100, having a speaker that is this nice with the Google Assistant built into it seems like a great deal to me. Pair this product with the Google Nest Outdoor Cam.
