    Sound is Meeehh. The assistant is top notch. Google is my favorite assistant and I am an iPhone user. So take what ever I say with a grain of salt. But, this speaker is great for just tossing around the house. I actually think I am going to put it in the bathroom.

      Hi there JOver, thanks for reaching out. We´re sorry to hear of your disappointment with some of the features for Nest Mini.

      We´re aware that everyone will always have their own preference when it comes to sound quality. For this reason, we have enabled adjustment of the sound settings for our Google Nest devices, including Nest Mini. We recommend trying out this adjustment to see which audio settings fits your taste:
      Adjust bass and treble level:
      - Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as your Nest Mini.
      - Open the Google Home app.
      - Tap the device you want to adjust and then Settings and then Audio and then Equalizer.
      - Adjust Bass and Treble level.

      For any other concerns or questions you may have, you can always reach out to our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    It does what it says, it's fine. Concerned about its durability. Google sent me a free one of these about a year and a half ago and it just stopped working, so I picked this one up while it was on sale for $25. I wouldn't spend any more than that.

    This came free with the purchase of our TV. We already have Google home so we put it in our bedroom. Very versatile. Ask for an alarm...music....the weather forecast.. you name it, Google will help.

    I bought these so my husband could easily change channels when using YouTube tv, one for family room tv and one for master bedroom. Occasionally the mini does not seem to understand our requests and we have to start all over again. I suppose we just have to make our requests more clear.

    The google home mini was pretty good. I had them for a bit over a year without any issues until recently. The microphone has a bit of trouble hearing your voice so for the home to hear it you have to talk loudly but overall it’s pretty good

      Hi Jordy, we appreciate your review of your Nest Mini. We're sorry to learn that you're experiencing some recent difficulties with the microphone having trouble hearing your voice. We'd recommend that you retrain the Nest Mini to better recognize your voice. We also suggest adjusting the Hotword sensitivity as it may also be helpful with the issue. You may follow the steps below:

      Retrain Voice Match:
      - On your phone or tablet, open the Google Home app.
      - At the top right, tap your Profile picture or initial and then Assistant settings and then Voice Match.
      - Tap Teach your Assistant your voice again and then Retrain.

      Change Nest Mini's Hotword sensitivity:
      - Open your Google Home app.
      - Select your Nest Mini.
      - At the top right, tap the Settings (Gear) icon.
      - Then tap Audio.
      - Then tap "Hey Google" sensitivity and adjust the slider to make your Nest Mini more responsive to the hotword.

      We still want to know more about your concerns on the product and the other issues you had with it so we can help improve your overall experience. Please contact us on our Google Help page here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I just love this Google assist device. I do have another brand and this is my favourite. It’s more accurate with my verbal response and the information it gives.
