Google Home Mini vs Bose Home Speaker 300

Light, acoustic tune, full volume. Close, but Home sounds louder and more crisp. pic.twitter

As far as the sound quality, I don't feel it lives up to the price point of this speaker, especially since the Sonos One Gen 2 I bought on sale was significantly cheaper than the Bose Home 300. To my ears the Sonos One Gen 2 sounds better. However, I'm not a sound quality snob, I wanted something more fully featured with aux input as an option, but the lack of reminders makes this speaker not very useful for me, as I would need to supplement it with a Dot or similar Echo device anyways.

Hey Google play a b-flat sure. Here's a b-flat, hey Google roll a 12-sided die coming right up. It's a three: hey Google! How many pints are in a quar...

google nest audio, bose home speaker series. blueetooth on these stays on and in pairing mode forever.

Tiny speakers typcially don't sound very good. Compared with some of our favorite Bluetooth speakers (even small ones), you could say that the Mini's 40mm drivers sound tinny and harsh. But it's much better than the Echo Dot. At arm's length, it can be up to 10db louder than the weak little Dot, with a much rounder sound that at least it suggests bass

Grouping works only sometimes, usually in the beginning and then speakers drop out even though I have great wifi signal on clear channel and router set according to Bose instructions. Changing volume in the app causes speakers to play at random volumes jumping constantly.

If you want to use the Home Mini to primarily play music, you can wirelessly link it to a larger speaker for better audio quality. But it only supports Cast-enabled speakers, whether that’s built in or enabled by a connected Google Cast for Audio dongle, which is far more limiting than the Echo Dot’s Bluetooth or 3.5mm options. (You can use the Mini as a Bluetooth speaker for your phone or tablet, but it cannot connect to a larger speaker over Bluetooth as the Echo Dot can

which is not why I bought it. If you want a great sounding bluetooth speaker, this will do. If you're looking for a "smart" speaker, look elsewhere

the walmart on google express does not reflect the same price as walmart and if it is in stock at walmart. com it dont mean it is in stock on google express and it is more money. and they dont try to help just say send it back for a refund. so dont waste your time buy an alexa and get real service

Bottom line, you can find the same quality, or better, with better usability for about the same price. I will not be adding any more bose products to my sound system and if I ever win another, I'll sell it.

The volume can be high for a small device. We find we have to turn it down ("Hey Google, turn the volume down 50%).

This is the first one once I set up the volume I don’t have to wake Up in the middle of the night because the sound becomes too loud. This speaker also does not give me that bad vibe like resonating in my chest. That being said you have to pass the hurdle of being familiar with the accompanying app and the initial set up. C’mon Bose you should do better! Once the app recognizes the device is a home run
