Google Is Slashing 50% Off Its Nest Audio Smart Speaker for Cyber Monday

If you’re online right now it’s difficult to avoid the fact that it’s Cyber Monday. With thousands of deals swirling around the internet on everything from TVs to laptops to phones, it’s a great time to find some serious bargains. Case in point, the Google Nest Audio smart speaker for just $50 at Best Buy right now. This is a rare deal. In fact, we recently spotted a pairing of two Nest Audio speakers on sale for the first time in years. And now you can grab a single Nest Audio speaker for half the regular price. Of all the Cyber Monday deals out there, this is a rare one I urge you not to wait on because we have no idea how long it will last.

Compatible with both other Nest speakers and displays as well as Chromecast-enabled devices or smart speakers, the Google Nest Audio speaker doubles as a command center. Sync this one to your smart home system and you can start bossing it around immediately. Control lights, play music and podcasts, set timers and reminders or power up other devices like your TV.

If you already have another Google Nest Audio speaker at home or you are looking to purchase more than one, you’ll gain access to another fun feature. Use “Hey Google” by one Nest speaker to cast to any others in the house. This has endless possibilities for harassing kids or housemates when it’s time for dinner, bed or you’re just bored. The speakers can act as an intercom between rooms and you even use them to make audio calls with Duo.

Why this deal matters

Google Nest Audio speakers rarely go on sale. About a month ago, Best Buy started offering a pair of two Nest Audio speakers for $100, a $100 discount. For the first time in about two years, you can now get the single speaker for $50, again half the regular price. If you’ve been wanting to set up Google Nest Audio or add another speaker to your smart home system, do it now. We have no idea how long this deal will last beyond Cyber Monday.
