YOU CAN NOW STREAM MUSIC FROM GOOGLE
Google
Home and Google
Home Mini might be good at finding songs you
want to hear, but they’re not the best at playing them. Compared to
higher-priced speakers such as Google
Home Max and Apple’s
HomePod, Google’s diminutive
devices sound exactly as you’d expect: small, tinny, and muddled..Google
has
heard your complaints.
Starting today, you can
hook up a Bluetooth speaker to your Google Home without
needing to purchase a separate Chrome cast dongle.Once you
pair a compatible Bluetooth speaker with one of your Homes, you can make it the
default for
playing music, so you won’t have to
fiddle with controls or tell your Home where to send your favorite songs.
Pairing a speaker is simple.
Here's
how to do it:
Make sure your Bluetooth speaker is
in pairing mode.
Head to the Devices tab
inside the Home app on your phone.
Tap Settings in
the overflow menu.
Scroll down to Default music speaker and
tap Pair Bluetooth Speaker.
Tap the name of the speaker you
want to pair your Google Home with.
Once the link is established, you
can then go back a screen to make sure it is set as a default
for whenever music is played.
The
impact on your Homes: This is probably the most overdue
feature on Google Home—Amazon Echo users
have been able to stream audio to a
Bluetooth speaker for over a year—so we're glad Google finally got around to
it.
Our home
speakers have moved well beyond a way to get simple answers to basic questions,
and with the rise
of streaming
services, they’ve quickly become the most convenient way to play music in our
homes.
But if you don’t want to spend
$300-$400 on a high-fidelity speaker like HomePod
or Google Home Max,
this is a great way to give your
sound a boost.
