Android Authority • • general
Key Points:
- A Reddit user purchased the new Google Home Speaker early from Walmart, despite it not being officially released yet, and shared their initial impressions and an unboxing video.
- The user praised the speaker's sound quality, noting good midrange and bass performance, and found the setup process quick and straightforward.
- A major downside highlighted was the permanently attached USB-C power cable, which the user described as a "nightmare for repairability" since it cannot be easily unplugged or replaced.
- The speaker features touch controls with hidden lights beneath the fabric mesh, but the fabric covering felt loose and raised concerns about durability.
- These observations are based on a single early unit, and further testing will be needed to fully assess the Google Home Speaker.
