A:AnswerHi James, there is no difference in the smarts between the Nest Mini and the Nest Audio. They can do the same things, including broadcast. The only difference is the size and sound quality.
If you are looking for great sound, get the Nest Audio. If you are looking for decent quality sound in every room, get the Nest Mini. Also, note that the Nest Mini frequently goes on sale for $30.
Hope this helps!
A:AnswerYes, you can. On the back of the Nest Audio, next to the power cord, you can toggle the mic switch on or off. Your Assistant will say whether the microphone is muted. Please note that Google Assistant will not respond to your voice commands if the microphone is on mute.
A:AnswerYes. Make sure to be specific on which speaker or display you want to stream or play content. (For example, "Hey Google, play podcast on living room speaker.") If you have multiple devices and you did not give specific command to which speaker to stream, it will play content to the last speaker you gave command to.

A:AnswerUnfortunately, this feature is not supported. While you can pair your Nest Audio with your laptop and turn it to a Bluetooth speaker, the microphone is designed to allow you to talk to Google Assistant, make audio calls, and detect sounds (with a Nest Aware subscription in certain regions, and if you have enabled this feature).
A:AnswerThey can be used as Bluetooth speakers (say "Hey google, turn on bluetooth") and work as expected. I don't think the speakers can transmit anything to a BT device. Your audio source (phone, mic, whatever) would have to be the device sending to BT earpieces.
A:AnswerThe Nest Audio like other Google Home speakers and displays, have no internal battery. They must be plugged into a wall outlet using the included power adapter and cable.
A:AnswerYou can change the sound of Google Assistant’s voice. You can choose from male or female voice too. Check this link for more info: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7550431
A:AnswerYes. You can pair Nest Audio Speakers to multiple Bluetooth enabled speakers or headphones, like Polk Mini, using Bluetooth connection. However, it will only connect to the most recently connected device which will either be your Polk Mini or Vizio TV.
