Smart speakers and digital assistants are at the heart of every smart home. In this video we compare the audio and sound quality of the new @Google Nest Audio with the original Google Home. With the two speakers placed inside an acoustic chamber, recorded with a RØDE NTG1 professional shotgun microphone recording onto a Sony HXR-NX80, this video compares the sound quality from both devices by listening to two pieces of music from different genres to assess the difference in sound quality with the Nest Audio.

🎧 Wear headphones to listen to this video! We recommend the @Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth noise-cancelling headphones: https://geni.us/WH-1000XM4

The treble and bass on both speakers were set to 0, the volume set to 100% and the microphone was positioned to ensure it was the same distance from each speaker.

The original Google Home sounds pretty good for such a small speaker, but how does the new Nest Audio compare when it comes to listening to music and sound quality? The new, 2nd Generation Nest Audio sounds far better than the original Google Home from 2016; you can tell the difference straightaway, whether you’re listening to music or podcasts – the new speaker has improved clarity across all tonal ranges and is clearer, deeper and more powerful and impressive in the low end.
