Design: It features a soft, fabric-covered exterior, often referred to as a "pebble" or "cushion" like shape. The fabric is made from 70% recycled plastic. In the images, it appears to be in the "Chalk" (light gray) color. It's designed to blend seamlessly into home decor. * Audio Quality: Google significantly focused on enhancing audio quality with the Nest Audio. It features a 75mm woofer and a 19mm tweeter, which together deliver richer bass and clearer vocals compared to its predecessor. It's well-suited for playing music and podcasts. * Smart Assistant Integration: At its core, the Nest Audio is powered by Google Assistant. This allows users to control smart home devices, get answers to questions, set alarms, play music, manage calendars, and more, all using voice commands ("Hey Google" or "Ok Google"). * Controls: * Top Surface (Invisible Touch Controls): The top surface is touch-sensitive. Tapping the center pauses/plays music, tapping the left or right increases/decreases volume. * Microphone Mute Switch: On the back (visible in the first image), there's a physical switch to mute the microphone for privacy, indicated by an orange color when muted. * Connectivity: It connects to your home Wi-Fi network to access Google Assistant and streaming services. It also supports Bluetooth for direct audio streaming from devices. * Stereo Pairing & Multi-room Audio: Users can pair two Nest Audio speakers together for true stereo sound. Additionally, it supports multi-room audio, allowing you to group multiple Google Nest or Google Home devices to play music synchronously across different rooms. * Power: It's a wired device, powered by an external power adapter, which is visible in the background of the images. The power port is located at the bottom rear of the device. In summary, the Google Nest Audio is a versatile smart speaker that offers solid audio performance, the full capabilities of Google Assistant, and a minimalist design, making it a popular choice for integrating smart home features with everyday audio entertainment.
