A pair of Nest Audio speakers is so good, you probably don't need Google's biggest speaker

  One month later

Google's first Assistant speaker, Google Home, turns four this year. The company says that device was designed primarily as a means to access the Google Assistant, and music playback was secondary. But the de facto second generation, the new Nest Audio, was purpose-built as a media device — and boy, does it ever show.

Specs

Audio	75mm woofer, 19mm tweeter, 3 far-field microphone array, stereo pairing, multi-room grouping
Controls	Capacitive touch, voice control, mute switch
Power	30W DC barrel adapter, 1.5m cable
Connectivity	802.11b/g/n/ac (2.4 GHz/5 GHz) Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0
Colors	Chalk, Charcoal, Sage, Sand, Sky
Price	$99
Dimensions	6.89" x 4.89" x 3.07", 2.65 lbs
