    This is an awesome update to the smaller Google speakers, but i feel like it cpuld be way louder. The speaker is also directional so you will have to point it in the direction you want the most sound

    For the love of God don't give Google any money. They don't stand by the products they have. The speakers don't recognize commands on the daily. Will just start speaking and will play stuff you didn't ask for. Won't turn on/off stuff like they use too. Broke

    For the price, just buy two nest minis and create some surround sound experiences for your place for the same price with better results

    Great!!! I really enjoy my nest audio. I will never live without one. Best Buy was so easy to work with and when it comes time to purchase a new television I will in all likelihood be purchasing it from Best Buy.

    I purchased another one, and I set up as a pair of very good sound a lot better Than one by itself. Very nice to add to the ecosystem when you set them up as a group awesome. If you have a Google hub max, you can have that playing your music and use the pair together. Awesome fantastic set up.

    Wished they carried a charge instead of plugged in. Still though, works seemlessly at home with 1 google home + 2 nests. So much more responsive than asking siri anything. Considering their size, decent clarity.

    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

    doesn't play two channels stereo over bluetooth

    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.

      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.

      If these steps don't resolve the issues, you can contact our support team through the Google Home app or by visiting https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    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.
