Upgrade TV Audio in Minutes With Google's Latest Home Speaker

Google now lets you pair two Google Home Speakers with a Google TV Streamer to add surround-sound-like audio to your TV with minimal setup. The guide walks you through connecting via Quick Settings (Home > Quick Settings > Audio output > Connect another device; select Google speakers; Next) so both speakers appear in Remotes & Accessories and are used automatically when the TV is on. While this provides stereo and virtual surround, it's not true multi-channel surround since there’s no dedicated subwoofer. It's a space-saving, wires-free option and also covers using a single speaker under the TV, pairing older Nest/Home devices via Bluetooth, and a latency fix in Settings > Remotes & Accessories > Google speakers > Audio video sync. Overall, it's a simple upgrade for better TV audio with caveats on bass and latency.

Onn 4K Pro 2026: A $60 Google TV challenger

Android Authority’s Joe Maring spends a month with Walmart’s Onn 4K Pro (2026) and concludes it’s a standout value at $60 that can rival the Google TV Streamer: it delivers Dolby Vision/Atmos, 32GB storage, a feature-packed remote with Find My Remote, and a USB-A port, plus solid performance on a Wi‑Fi 6 box. Still, it’s not perfect: 100Mbps Ethernet, only 3GB RAM, and only modest upgrades over the 2024 model. For many buyers the Onn 4K Pro (2026) offers better value than the $100 Google TV Streamer, though power users may still prefer Google’s box for the faster Ethernet, more RAM, and quicker updates.

Google TV Streamer: The Ultimate Streaming Device Showdown

The Roku Ultra (2024) and Google TV Streamer are both priced at $99 and offer advanced features for streaming and smart home integration. The Roku Ultra boasts faster speeds and Wi-Fi 6, but its smart home capabilities are limited to Roku's ecosystem. The Google TV Streamer, with its new design, AI enhancements, and Thread board router, offers better smart home integration and a 1Gb wired connection. Despite Roku's improved remote, the Google TV Streamer is favored for its versatility and broader compatibility, making it the preferred choice for many users.
