Google has reduced the price of its Home Speaker for the first time since its debut in late June. Originally listed at $99.99, the speaker is now discounted by $20 — bringing the price down to $79.99 — through Google’s store and select retailers. The deal runs from November 2 through December 2. This marks a rare holiday-season price drop for the device, which hasn’t seen any official discounts in four months.
What You’re Getting
The Google Home Speaker comes in four colors — Berry, Hazel, Jade, and Porcelain — with a fabric finish. It delivers omni-directional audio powered by a 58 mm full-range driver, and supports Matter to act as a smart home hub. Physical hardware includes three far-field microphones with a mute switch at the base, and a ring of lights indicates status. The top panel houses capacitive touch controls for volume and play/pause. Everything is powered through an attached 59.1-inch USB-C cable, with a 30 W charger included. At 3.4 inches tall, the device is about the same height as two stacked Nest Minis.
Features & AI Upgrade
Built around “Gemini for Home,” the speaker handles standard voice commands familiar from other Google devices. However, if you want real-time Gemini Live sessions, those are gated behind the Google Home Premium Standard subscription, priced at $10 per month or $100 per year. New buyers do get a 30-day trial to test out the upgrade.
Deal Timeline & Availability
This promotion is active as of November 2 and runs through December 2, spanning Cyber Monday. Alongside Google’s own store, retailers like Best Buy are participating. Again, this is the first time the Home Speaker has seen a sale since its release on June 27.
Why this matters: a discounted Google Home Speaker makes it a more attractive option in the smart speaker market just ahead of gift-buying season. If you’d been holding off because price was a barrier, this may be the moment to pull the trigger.
