    Avoid Google Nest/Home Products

    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.

    Sound is good for price, but heavy sound delays

    Google's got a ways to go. Soundwise its good for a standard speaker if you're just trying to get music. Nice and loud, lows aren't too heavy, mids and highs are just right for the price. Works as intended for a random speaker in your house. When it comes to bluetooth connectivity its lacking. My old small Sony XRB12 pairs with any device and has minimal sound delay. The Google Nest Audio has a very noticeable lag. I mainly wanted this as a higher utility alternative for, nojust music or asking google silly questions, but as a room speaker for a TV. I initially bought two and when paired together sound good, but the delay is even worse. You'd think with Googles market value they wouldn't have these issues.

      Hi B12thechank, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing lags and delays on your Nest Audio.

      Here are few steps you can try:
      - Make sure your device is getting enough signal from the router. Place it within the recommended distance (15-20 ft.) away from the router.
      - Check for possible sources of interference such as microwave ovens, refrigerator or other devices in your home that may weaken Wi-Fi signals.
      - Reset your device.

      If you need assistance, feel free contacting our support team. We’d be more than happy to assist you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    These speakers are great, but what really holds it back is the terrible google software, as much as i like android and google assistant, the "eco system" that google claims to have really holds these back

    First of all the speaker on this thing is amazing. It can definitely play music very well but that is only one aspect when you purchase a Google Home device. I replaced a Google Home mini with this speaker in our living room which is quite large and open floor plan with 14 feet tall ceilings. If youre on the front side of the speaker it has 0 problem hearing you and performing actions. We have a couch table behind our couch in the living area and the speaker is facing out to the other areas in our living room. When on the couches its 50/50 if it will even hear you when talking to it which is disappointing but pointing it towards the couches resolves the issue.
