#14 Google Nest Mini 2nd Gen: $119.00 each Discontinued Amazon $119.00 eBay
Newer model: the Google Home Speaker, ranked higher, rated 3/5, released Jun 2026. It drops stereo pairing and AAC. See every Google Nest and Home Speakers generation.
Pros: A tiny Google Assistant speaker that responds quickly, raises its volume over background noise and has a mic mute switch. Digital Trends’ review found it responds quickly, automatically raises music and response volume over background noise, and is built from recycled plastic. Its 40mm driver is clearer through the midrange and treble than the larger-driver Amazon Echo Dot 3rd Gen it was tested against, though the Echo had more bass and outright volume. A physical microphone mute switch is on the side.
Cons: Digital Trends’ main complaint was that maximum volume could be louder, and RTINGS’ independent review agrees, naming it their one real weakness. There is no 3.5mm or other wired audio input of any kind. This model has been discontinued by Google in favor of the newer Google Home Speaker, so current retail listings run well above the original $49 launch price as remaining stock sells through resellers.
