Great speaker. Terrible AI. The Google AI is terrible at completing basic tasks like playing a playlist from Spotify.
Hey there. While we’re glad you’re enjoying the sound quality from the Nest Audio, we hear your concerns regarding the voice assistant. 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.

I have had my Google Nest Audio speakers (3 of them) for a number of years but as time has marched on, Google has seen to destroying a wonderful product. Google Assistant rarely responded in the end, with the right actions or information, Gemini has only made things worse with it regularly saying to use native apps to control smart devices or listen to audio instead of doing the things the Google Nest Audio was marketed as doing. You're better off getting any other smart home speaker, itll be less headache in the long run.
Thanks for reaching out about your Nest Audio, Martr152. We hear your concerns regarding Google Assistant. Here’s a few ways to troubleshoot and get your device running smoothly again:
1. Reboot your speaker or display. 2. Make sure your device recognizes the hotword. 3. Make sure your device recognized the question correctly. 4. Adjust the hotword sensitivity of your device.

Upon trying it, I realized it was playing one "channel" of the song over bluetooth. So for example, if a song breaks vocals into one channel and instrumental into another, you will not hear the song as it was intended. I noticed that the Google Home does the same thing. However over streaming service such as Spotify, both channels of the song are merged as they are played over the speaker (for a more "as intended" experience). The thing is, I like the option to play my own music rather than wifi streaming services. I thought about getting two of these to get the "full stereo experience", but really was looking for the one speaker solution so I balked at that.

I have this setup next to my bedside. In hindsight i kind of prefer the nest hub to the speaker because i can never remember all the commands so having the screen to be able to do things is nice. but this gets the job done all the same

Sound is very good, however reliability of the google app is very poor. If google ever fixes the home app these speakers would be very good, until then be aware these speakers are just OK.

I am all in for the Google Smart Speakers. I have a display or speaker in every room. When a friend complained that they missed having radio stations in their kitchen, I suggested this product. I purchased it, set it up and they couldn't be more thrilled. They like it for the radio stations, but they are learning to love it for the smarts. Also, looks good in the room and sounds great

Hi there, Jimmy. Thanks for your feedback about your Nest Audio, and we're sorry to hear you've experienced difficulties.
We understand how frustrating it can be when a product doesn't live up to expectations, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.
We suggest trying these steps that can help improve your experience:
- For sound quality, we recommend ensuring your Nest Audio is placed away from walls and other objects that could obstruct sound. You can also adjust the equalizer settings in the Google Home app to personalize the audio experience.
- For connectivity, please check that your Nest Audio is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your other devices, and that the network signal is strong in the area. You might also try restarting your router and Nest Audio.
- For pairing issues, it's important to follow the pairing instructions in the Google Home app carefully. If pairing still fails, please try resetting your Nest Audio to factory settings and attempt pairing again.

I needed to replace a speaker I was retiring and these were on sale. The audio is at best average or slightly above average. Pick one up when they are on sale for $50.
Hey Dexity, thanks for sharing your review here. We're sorry to hear that your experience with Nest Audio was less than ideal when it comes to the audio quality. You can change the audio settings of your Nest Audio in the Google Home app such as adjusting the bass and treble level to improve the performance of your device. If you need assistance with changing the settings or have additional questions, feel free to contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

I've had and loved the original Google Home since week 1 and wasn't sure an upgrade was needed. But apart from how pretty this is, the reviews uniformly said the sound was much better, and it's true. Even if I didn't use G Asst, a castable speaker with this level audio is unbelievable for $99. It made holiday music fill the house! I have a battery-operated base for my original, so that moved to another space. One star off because I still can't move through songs with touch features; asking for the next song 10 times to advance an album or playlist is not optimal.
