The 9 Best Speaker Brands – Winter 2025

Google is an American technology company that produces a wide range of internet-related products. They sell phones, smart speakers, tablets, earbuds, and more. They currently have two speakers on the market: the Google Nest Audio and the smaller Google Nest Mini, which offer excellent voice assistant support via Google Assistant. It’s easy to check the weather or get a status update on traffic only using your voice. Plus, you can mute the voice assistant’s microphones for more private moments. These speakers are ideal for those who already own Google products, but again, the lineup isn’t very diverse, so you’ll only find wired home speakers with this manufacturer.

The best from Google is the Google Nest Audio. It’s a home speaker with a sleek design that’s meant to fit in with your home decor, and it’s even available in a couple of different color options. Of course, Google Assistant is built right into the device, along with Chromecast support for easy streaming from compatible devices. You can use the Google Home app to pair this speaker with compatible Google models to spread audio throughout your home or create a stereo pair. You’ll also find bass and treble adjustments to switch up its sound in the app. Like most smart speakers, the sound quality is decent, and it gets loud enough for average-sized living rooms. It isn’t meant for outdoor use, though, and it isn’t the most portable. That said, if you love Google products and want a simple voice-assistant device, it’s a great pick.
