    Bought 2 about 2 weeks ago. They won't stay connected to Internet and keep telling me they are disconnected. Funny because my 2020 JBL assistant speakers respond to my hey Google just fine and do what I ask while these ones are telling me they can't connect to Internet at the same time. If I unplug them then plug them back in they seem to work for a day or two then need to be unplugged and plugged back in again. Google seems to be getting dumber and dumber.

    Just wow . The quality of sound and tempo is very good. It doesn’t feel cheaply made. As it’s a google assistance, it’s great in helping. But the sound quality is the best item among all.

    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
