    Very good speaker when it works. Clear highs, solid bass response, overall good tuning with more tuning options in the app. However the software for this speaker often causes it not to connect to Bluetooth or work with casting audio. Outside of these issues the speaker is great.

    Amazing sound as a stereo pair

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This year, smart speakers have been going for cheap. Since we bought a Google TV, it makes sense to use this. So I bought 2. Its overkill, since we have a soundbar, but they’re cheap. They pair together seamlessly. Unlike Echo speakers, they support bluetooth, so you can connect your phone and play music service. In fact, I connected my Echo to my Google speakers, via bluetooth and music plays on the Google speakers in full stereo. And they sound amazing. It’s lacking in bass, but that can be fixed by going into the app and turning up the bass all the way. Google needs a subwoofer similar to the Echo Sub. They actually work as a home cinema, though not officially supported. Just pair them to your TV bluetooth. And you have a quality sound bar. Its missing that rumble, but the sound is still amazing.

    A nice sounding speaker, but a garbage assistant

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I wanted a nice Bluetooth speaker I already had plenty of those. this particular speaker works fine as the speaker as a Google device, it's garbage. it barely connects to Bluetooth devices at all and when it does it takes a good 5 second delay if it even communicates with the light. doesn't seem to understand me until I ask it to accomplish a command three times in a row. I personally am happier with my Google mini speakers. whether they sound is good is not really relevant since I can just pair them to a Bluetooth speaker that I already have. this was a total waste of money and I only got pleasure when I was able to take it outside and smash it with a hammer. perhaps I have anger management issues but video to be uploaded soon.

      Hi there. Thank you for choosing Nest Audio, and we're sorry to hear about the Bluetooth connectivity issue you've encountered. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

      To address the problem, a good first step is to reset your Nest Audio device. However, please be aware that resetting will erase all data and you'll need to set up the device again. Here's how you can perform a factory reset:
      - Check the back of your Nest Audio and switch the mic off. The lights will turn orange.
      - Press and hold the center of the Nest Audio, near the top.
      - After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process.
      - Continue holding for about 10 seconds more until a sound confirms that the device is resetting.

      If the Bluetooth connectivity issue persists despite the reset, we encourage you to reach out to our support team for further assistance. To contact our support team, please use this link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    It's still very 2020ish

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    There hasn't been any progress with this thing in years. It still requires the Google Home app to set up. Telling it to play a personal YTMusic playlist still doesn't work; going through the YTM smartphone app is required. I already own and use Echo devices which don't require an app for setup. If I want to play a personal YTM playlist on those Echoes (sp?) I just BT connect them to my phone. Or I don't play my personal playlists, and bear with whatever Amazon Music offers, via voice command. AM has a smaller catalog than YTM. I'm not sure I care any longer. Google has lagged for too long.

    I must say this speaker is a must have and great one at that! It took me way too long thinking on purchasing this one. I wish I had bought it way sooner than now. The sound is fantastic and fills my whole apartment. I have it paired with my Nest Hub and nest mini for my routines. Playing music on the speaker by itself is fantastic, loud, and plenty of of bass. I love the color of it too.
