href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/home\/google-home-defined\/\">Google Home app<\/a> right out of the box. Speaking of the box, this is one of the easiest speakers to set up that we\u2019ve found &#8212; thanks to easy automatic pairing and Google\u2019s simple walkthrough prompts. The sound is also impressive &#8212; the speaker sports a woofer, tweet, and tuning software that can adapt audio to the surrounding environment (as well as what type of audio you\u2019re playing).<\/p>\n<p>In addition to all the streaming possibilities and connections that Google Assistant can make, the Nest Audio can also pair with another Audio model, allowing you to set up a stereo system with truly impressive sound. The Nest Audio is also fairly affordable for this size of a smart speaker too, so you don\u2019t need to spend too much to get the full package.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2020\/9\/30\/7e8c1158e42e13e0f187ac53301eb9586b19fdea.jpeg\" alt=\"Google Nest Audio\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2020\/9\/30\/7e8c1158e42e13e0f187ac53301eb9586b19fdea.jpeg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNest Audio\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tBest all-around Google speaker\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure data-link-product-offer=\"0kocK3wprh\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sonos-one-gen-2.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" alt=\"Second gen Sonos One by a bed.\" decoding=\"async\" data-zoom-suppress=\"1\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/sonos-one-gen-2.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\"><figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-0kocK3wprh\" data-link-product-offer=\"0kocK3wprh\">\n\t\t\tSonos One (Gen 2)\t<\/h2>\n<h3>Best Google speaker for home theaters<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tPros\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExcellent sound for its compact size\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGoogle Assistant and Alexa support \t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPairs with Sonos sound systems\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCons\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThose only interested in Google won&#8217;t need two voice assistants\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sonos excels at combining top-notch sound with useful smart features, and the Sonos One is better than ever with its latest 2nd-generation model that can fill a room with sound while also making your life easier. The Sonos One is a third-party speaker that comes with support for both Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you have a choice of voice assistants. Like the Nest Audio, you can pair two Sonos One speakers together, but you can also link it to other compatible Sonos speaker systems and even use them as rear home theater speakers in a surround sound setup.<\/p>\n<p>While not exactly tiny, the speaker is compact enough to fit on most shelves or desks. There are basic controls on the top of the speaker, but one of the advantages of having a voice assistant like Google Assistant is that you can give hands-free commands, so you\u2019ll have plenty of placement options for this sound powerhouse.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2019\/7\/31\/6995fb5ed62c9f3f51cc778ee0842a2a22b3e0a4.jpeg\" alt=\"Sonos One Gen 2\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2019\/7\/31\/6995fb5ed62c9f3f51cc778ee0842a2a22b3e0a4.jpeg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSonos One (Gen 2)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tBest Google speaker for home theaters\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure data-link-product-offer=\"4GX35rgtTa\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/belkin-soundform-elite-hi-fi-review-2-of-8.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" alt=\"best alexa speakers belkin soundform elite hi fi review 2 of 8\" decoding=\"async\" data-zoom-suppress=\"1\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/belkin-soundform-elite-hi-fi-review-2-of-8.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\"><figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tJohn Velasco \/ Digital Trends\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-4GX35rgtTa\" data-link-product-offer=\"4GX35rgtTa\">\n\t\t\tBelkin Soundform Elite Hi-Fi\t<\/h2>\n<h3>Best Google speaker with phone charging<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tPros\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOffers convenient wireless charging\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tModels support Alexa or Google Assistant\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAccurate voice recognition\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCons\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBass overwhelms the audio\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If you are really, really invested in Google Assistant already, you probably have it working on other devices, especially something like an Android smartphone. Belkin\u2019s speaker is designed just for such users: The beautiful exterior includes an angled resting place for your phone with wireless charging capabilities, so you can charge up your phone while keeping an eye on notifications. That makes the SoundForm Elite a great speaker to place in central locations \u2014 where you still want access to your phone \u2014 like a coffee table or desk.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the built-in Google Assistant, the speaker includes Active Matching technology to optimize audio, as well as dual-woofers with a vibration-canceling design, making this speaker excellent for more bass-oriented music and audio. It can also pair with any other Google-enabled smart speaker. The biggest downside to this amazing smart speaker is that it\u2019s also one of the most expensive options.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2021\/5\/21\/ccfd8ece39c76f0b9c1424586e9a40a1c0654771.jpeg\" alt=\"Belkin SoundForm Elite Hi-Fi Smart Speaker\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2021\/5\/21\/ccfd8ece39c76f0b9c1424586e9a40a1c0654771.jpeg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBelkin Soundform Elite Hi-Fi\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tBest Google speaker with phone charging\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure data-link-product-offer=\"qOUhA5z8Cj\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/google-nest-hub-max-review-5-of-14.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" alt=\"google nest hub max review 5 of 14\" decoding=\"async\" data-zoom-suppress=\"1\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/google-nest-hub-max-review-5-of-14.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\"><figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tJohn Velasco\/Digital Trends\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-qOUhA5z8Cj\" data-link-product-offer=\"qOUhA5z8Cj\">\n\t\t\tNest Hub Max\t<\/h2>\n<h3>Best Google smart display<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tPros\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDazzling display, perfect for picture sharing\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCamera adds a layer of home security\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAuto-framing keeps us in view with video calls\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTailored experience thanks to Face Match\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCons\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAudio quality is strained at louder volumes\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Your smart speaker doesn\u2019t have to just be a speaker \u2014 it can also be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/home\/what-is-a-smart-display\/\">smart display<\/a> with Google built in.

But in the right spot, this model really can become a hub for your smart home offering a trove of useful info and entertainment whenever you want.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2019\/12\/20\/be10686920f04a1a70fa402cc2636611ac352ea5.jpeg\" alt=\"Google Nest Hub Max\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2019\/12\/20\/be10686920f04a1a70fa402cc2636611ac352ea5.jpeg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNest Hub Max\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tBest Google smart display\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure data-link-product-offer=\"c4tVkNrAek\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/sonos-move-8.jpeg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" alt=\"sonos move review 8\" decoding=\"async\" data-zoom-suppress=\"1\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/sonos-move-8.jpeg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\"><figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-c4tVkNrAek\" data-link-product-offer=\"c4tVkNrAek\">\n\t\t\tSonos Move\t<\/h2>\n<h3>Best portable Google speaker<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tPros\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSuperb build quality\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIntegration with Sonos systems\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSounds especially good outdoors\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tUser-replaceable battery\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCons\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSonos app doesn\u2019t work over Bluetooth\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBig size, big price\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Many of the smart speakers on our list need to stay anchored in one spot near an outlet for power. Not so with the Sonos Move, which is a battery-powered speaker designed to be taken on the go. The battery can last for up to 11 hours on a charge (USB-C charger included), and the design has an IP56 rating to help withstand rain, snow, dust, salty ocean spray, and more.<\/p>\n<p>Like other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/home-theater\/sonos-speakers-app-wireless-music\/\">Sonos speakers<\/a>, support for both Google Assistant and Alexa is included here. While you may not always be in Wi-Fi range to use the voice assistants all the time, there\u2019s also Bluetooth support, so you can make direct connections to your smartphone and play all the tunes that you want.

It also works well as a pair if you\u2019d like to get two.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, sound won\u2019t be as good as with a larger speaker, although you can still enjoy songs on a nearby Mini. Note: You\u2019ll also need to connect the Mini to a power outlet, as it doesn\u2019t have an internal battery.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2020\/11\/30\/ddce0debd96ad356df486c90e782730f258073aa.jpeg\" alt=\"Google Nest Mini 2nd Gen (Chalk)\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2020\/11\/30\/ddce0debd96ad356df486c90e782730f258073aa.jpeg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNest Mini (Gen 2)\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tBest small Google speaker\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure data-link-product-offer=\"6ROtpoSGXS\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/google-nest-hub-review-2nd-gen-feature.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" alt=\"google nest hub 2nd gen review on table\" decoding=\"async\" data-zoom-suppress=\"1\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/google-nest-hub-review-2nd-gen-feature.jpg?fit=720%2C720&#038;p=1\"><figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tJohn Velasco \/ Digital Trends\t\t\t<\/span><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"h-6ROtpoSGXS\" data-link-product-offer=\"6ROtpoSGXS\">\n\t\t\tNest Hub 2nd Gen\t<\/h2>\n<h3>Best affordable smart speaker<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tPros\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAccurate sleep tracking\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTons of data about your sleep\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$100 starting price\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCons\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFew new features over previous model\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The Google Nest Hub is essentially a smaller, more affordable version of the Nest Hub Max. Offering a seven-inch display, availability in multiple colors, and full support for Google Assistant, this affordable device is a great option for anyone just starting out on their smart home journey.<\/p>\n<p>With a price tag of $99, the Google Nest Hub is one of the cheapest products on this list. But don\u2019t let that fool you into thinking this is a \u201ccheap\u201d device, as it packs in tons of premium features often reserved for much pricier products. This includes a temperature sensor, motion sensor, and even an ambient EQ light sensor to help adjust its brightness.<\/p>\n<p>While the Nest Hub is technically a smart display and not a smart speaker, it\u2019s an easy recommendation thanks to the impressive sound quality offered by its full-range speaker and 1.7-inch driver. It\u2019s also equipped with three far-field microphones that can hear your commands clearly from across the room \u2013 although you also have the option to turn off the mic if you want some privacy.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" onerror=\"dti_load_error(this)\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2021\/3\/28\/663b6ce5dfe63422eb62b009fbf8957f019d4c4e.jpeg\" alt=\"Google Nest Hub (2nd Gen)\" previous-src=\"https:\/\/s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/ccp-prd-s3-uploads\/2021\/3\/28\/663b6ce5dfe63422eb62b009fbf8957f019d4c4e.jpeg\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNest Hub 2nd Gen\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tBest affordable smart speaker\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-location=\"below-content\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/dt-daily-logo.png?fit=430%2C140&#038;p=1\">\n\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tToday&#8217;s tech news, curated and condensed for your inbox\t\t<\/p>\n<div data-recipient-list-id=\"63cefa9b42d5ee001edfb994\">\n<p><i><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t<span><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tCheck your inbox!\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tPlease provide a valid email address to continue.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\tThis email address is currently on file.
