This and the hub are just terrible. I have Youtube premium. I ask for a song and most of the time it plays the video on the hub or sometimes it plays a bootleg version on the speaker.

Straight garbage, do not waste your money. Bought this speaker on Black Friday & I absolutely hate it. It disconnects out of nowhere and says Bluetooth is still connected. Can’t step into the next room with my phone without it breaking up and sounding terrible
1 reply from Nest Support team - 5 months ago
Hi there t, thanks for sharing your insights. We're sorry to hear about the negative experience you had with the connectivity issues with your Nest Audio. Here are some recommended steps to help you with the issue: - Check for possible congestion in your Wi-Fi network. Removing some of your connected devices can help free up some bandwidth space. You may then check to see if you will still experience the same connectivity issue. - You may also check for possible sources of interference such as the thick walls and appliances in your home. - Lastly, we recommend resetting Nest Audio. Keep in mind that this will erase all data and you may need to set it up again. To reset, check on the back of your device, switch the mic off. The lights will turn orange. Press and hold the center of the Nest Audio, near the top. After 5 seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting. If you encounter any further issue, please consider contacting our support team for further troubleshooting and isolation by visiting us at the Google Nest help page.

As a person who has tried other brands smart home devices, I recommend you go with Google. There is absolutely a quality difference in the development of the AI used with Google. Alexa and Siri are really not that great. Siri just doesn't seem to have the bandwidth of knowledge and applications that Google does. Alexa just is dumb and requires a lot of work to program everything you need her to do. Google seems to be programmed to be far more intuitive and learn from other users.

Google had a great idea especially speaker groups but as usual with Google obviously they didnt finish their homework-group speakers doesnt work more then it does work(Im sure google already knows this)-If you buy this item for more than $60 youre getting ripped off-Its great sound doesnt make up for no speaker groups.
1 reply from Nest Support team - 1 year ago
Hi there, thank you for posting your review here. It's unfortunate to hear that your experience with the Nest Audio has been less than ideal when it comes to the performance of speaker groups. We'd recommend checking that all devices in the group have been updated to the latest software. If you have a speaker group containing non-Google brands of speakers, they need to be on 1.52.272222 or higher Cast firmware version. Those speakers may be unable to be used in a speaker group without the latest firmware version and should be removed from existing speaker groups. If you need further assistance with speaker groups and your Nest Audio, we recommend that you contact our support team by visiting our Google Help site.

I bought two more during the sale to have sound throughout the house and got them in different colors because they're all lovely and match my rooms. The sound is great on these, it's nice to have Assistant in each room, and playing holiday music throughout the house was a great first use of the chained speakers. I use that feature constantly now. Love this system.

Press and hold the center of the Nest Audio, near the top. After five seconds, your device will begin the factory reset process. Continue to hold for about 10 seconds more, until a sound confirms that the device is resetting. If the issue persists, please consider contacting our support team.

Hi Patrick, thanks for taking the time to share a review about your experience with using the Nest Audio, and it’s unfortunate to hear that you can’t connect it to your Sony TV. If you’re referring to pairing your Nest speaker as a soundbar, we don't officially support pairing Nest speakers with TV with Chromecast built-in as an audio output for video playing on the TV. You may get it to work a few times, but we can't guarantee that it will always pair successfully. We suggest submitting a feedback using the keywords Pairing Nest speakers with Chromecast devices for video, using the Google Home app or voice command. Your feedback will help us improve our products and services. If you’re referring to linking your TV to your speaker to control your TV using your voice, please visit this link that might help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7214982 Or if you’d like, you can always contact our dedicated team here and we’d be more than happy to help: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp
