    Great sound, Google assistant is fabulous.!! If you have other Google audio things, they will all marry up for even better sound. The assistant works perfectly.

    Good alone, pair doesn't work

    Bought 2 to pair and connect via bluetooth to Chromecast with Google TV. What a mistake. Seems to pair fine but TONS of sync delay (like 1-2 seconds) when it works well, one of the pair often goes silent for a few minutes at a time or audio in/out choppy on one, volume control (on chromecast remote) works only half the time, and bluetooth never stays connected from one use to the next (it shows connected but doesn't work and needs to be disconnected then reconnected to work again). Bottom line, constant fight when used as a pair, and no update has fixed it yet. Same fight for over 2 months of ownership

      Hi Joe9, thanks for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your Nest Audio experience has been less than ideal.

      Nest Audio is a standalone smart speaker, so while you can’t use it as a sound bar via Bluetooth, you can pair it to your Chromecast with Google TV and include your TV in a speaker group for playing your music, podcasts and more. When pairing the Nest Audios, make sure that they are placed on top of a solid, level surface and away from the edge of the surface; and at the same height as each other. If you have a dual band router, try setting up your Nest Audio on either the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands and see which band is more stable

      If you're willing, you can reach out to our support team so that we can take a look at these issues and help you improve the experience: Here's the link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    Great sound, and coincidentally blends well with the color I picked for my walls, making for a nice, discreet speaker. Good bass and overall sound.

      Hey there, ChrisH. We’re sorry to see you’re running into issues with the voice assistant on the Nest Audio — we get how frustrating that can be. A quick reset helps solve several problems — here’s how to do it:

      1. Make sure your mobile device or tablet is linked to the same account as your speaker or display.
      2. Open the Google Home app.
      3. Tap Home > All devices, then touch and hold your device's tile.
      4. Tap Settings > More > Reboot.

      Hi, Carter. We understand that it can be harder to integrate the iOS device with your Google Nest Audio. By default, apps on iOS are blocked from accessing the local network. When setting up your Wi-Fi network, you'll need to grant the Google Home app access to the local network on your iOS device.Go to your iOS device's Settings.Make sure Bluetooth is on. To turn it on, tap Bluetooth and tap the toggle.Scroll down, then tap the Google Home app.Tap the Local Network toggle on.To get more information by clicking: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/12961504Regarding playing music from Apple Music, first link your Apple Music account in the Google Home app. You can also select Apple Music as your default music streaming service. Then, all you have to do is say, “Hey Google, play the New Music Daily playlist,” or “Hey Google, play the Rap Life playlist.” If you need further assistance, you can contact us through the following link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
