I would recommend this to a friendPoor audio. A voice assistant not speaker
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Audio is poor - on par with the cheapest budget speakers. This is not designed to be an audio device, but a voice assistant. If you turn off the mic, the device turns on always-on lights that can't be turned off, which will annoy anyone in a dark room such as a bedroom. There have been thousands of requests to Google to allow these lights to be turned off, but Google has been tone deaf to this need. I've interfaced directly with Google to make the case for this feature, but I was told their priority is to have this device as a voice assistant so that they can collect voice data and generate revenue on the sale of that data. There is no consideration or priority to make this a moderately functional speaker. This device has slightly better audio than the pathetic audio that the Nest Mini has, but it's still not remotely good. The only reason to buy this device is for the improved audio, but the added cost does not justify the minor audio improvement.

On the bigger side
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product takes up more space than I thought. A cheaper Google Nest mini would probably be sufficient for me.

Ok, but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This sounds good, not as good as I was hoping. I have a portable JBL Flip 4 which sounds better, just not crazy about the look of it so I wanted to try this. Also, Google isn't as easy to setup or as user friendly as the Amazon Alexa's. Knowing that going in would make it easier.

Posted .Hi biggred19, we appreciate your review. You can also use your Nest Audio to get music the way it should sound, with crisp vocals and powerful bass that fill the room. Just say, “Hey Google” to play your favorite songs from the streaming services you use most or get help. And create a home audio system with your other Nest speakers. Listen in stereo sound or all around the house. Or say, “Hey Google, move my music to the bedroom speaker,” and it follows you. Nest Audio is designed to fit right into your home.

Posted .Hi Butterfly15, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry to hear that your Nest Audio didn’t work with your TV and Bluetooth, and that you had to return it.

We’re hoping you will have a change of heart and give us another chance to help you. Having a closer look at the issue will give us a better understanding on what may be causing it and enable us to provide you with a better experience.
