Today at Best Buy, you can score a great deal on a smart speaker from Google Nest, which also comes with bonus perks.

As of Aug. 21, the Google Nest Audio Smart Speaker is on sale for $49.99, down 50% from the normal price of $99.99. That’s a $50 savings on a top-rated smart home product. Plus, on top of the speaker itself, you’ll also get some noteworthy extras for free:

• Free 4-month subscription to SiriusXM

• Free 3-month access to Google One with 100 GB of cloud storage

• Free 3-month subscription to YouTube Premium

Synching with streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music, you can ask the Google Nest Audio to play all your favorite songs. You can also tune into the news, podcasts, and the radio with voice control.

If you have other Google Nest speakers in the house, you can ask Google to move your music from room to room as you move around. Or you can let the whole house know dinner’s ready by broadcasting messages over all your household’s Nest speakers. While jamming out in the morning to your wake-up playlist, you can ask Google for your daily schedule or the weather forecast so you can plan your day.

Google has made some major product announcements lately, like the upgraded Google Nest Learning Thermostat, the new Google TV Streamer (which will replace the Chromecast), the new Pixel 9 lineup, and the Pixel Watch 3. However, Google didn’t announce any new smart speakers, so the Nest Audio remains the latest model.

The half-off sale price paired with free subscriptions makes this a great time to snag the Google Nest Audio. Doing household chores, making dinner, or getting ready in the morning while enjoying some premium tunes on the Nest Audio will surely make the tasks more enjoyable.
