Nest Hub Audio: What You're Working With
The Nest Hub (2nd gen) has a full-range 1.7-inch driver and dual passive radiators. It's noticeably louder than the Nest Mini, though it doesn't match the Nest Audio for low-end response.
The Nest Hub Max has a 3-inch woofer and dual 0.7-inch tweeters — significantly better audio, comparable to a small bookshelf speaker.

Nest Hub vs Dedicated PC Speaker
If you already own a Nest Hub and want to use it at your desk for PC audio, PC Nest Speaker makes that straightforward — no cables, auto-reconnects on startup. Whether it sounds better than a dedicated PC speaker depends on your budget: the Nest Hub Max competes with speakers in the $80–120 range, while the standard Nest Hub is adequate for voice and casual music.
For desktop PC use, the Nest Hub has one advantage traditional speakers don't: it also shows your calendar, clock, and smart home controls on its screen while playing your PC audio.
