Disappointed Customer - 1 year ago
Purchased two of these speakers, and one of them suddenly stopped working after 16 months. Verified power adapter was good before contacting support. No power, no lights, no sound... Google support tried to troubleshoot; however, they will not replace the item once the warranty expires. -- (1yr) This is the first Google product that has failed me and would not recoommend unless you want to purchase the extended protection plan.

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. Google needs to get this straightenout ASAP! Not a fan of the echo but at least when it comes to music, it plays what it supposed to...

A Lemon

I purchased a Google Nest Hub and thought this Nest Audio would be a nice addition to another room in our house. Unfortunately it doesn't connect and it's a complete dud. I thought it was just issues with my phone connecting to it. It turns out it is a lemon.

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.

Nice Speaker

5 out of 5 stars
Alyssa - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
The speaker is quite large (tall, wide, heavy) and not as sharp looking as other Google products; but, the ease of set up, the responsiveness, the volume, and the sound is great! The plug in cord isn't long enough to set on top of bathroom cabinet and plug in to the nearby wall. I ordered the Sand thinking it was pink like the photos. It's more of a pale pinkish-brown color; closer to sand then pink. The Mint was ordered as a replacement and it's a pale greenish color; not a crisp mint color. The speaker has strong sound output and responds well to voice commands. (I also ordered the mini. The mini produces a nice sound for the large space, isn't as responsive to commands as the Audio, and often isn't recognized on the Google Home app even though the speaker is playing. Perhaps, that issue relates to the internet at the mini's location.)

We LOVE this device - our favorite tech tool in the house. Convenient function for hearing weather, setting alarms, adding things to your calendar, creating a grocery list, etc. The speaker quality is really impressive, especially once you consider affordability. The color was a bonus for me too, a soft peachy-pink.

Bad for Syncing

1 out of 5 stars
Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
User03 - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
They have horrible sync issues. Just be aware that these speakers may not sync with many devices perfectly and will be noticeable if you're casting/Bluetooth audio to them from a video source. (Same applies to non-video sources, which include Google's own services and devices, but it isn't as noticable for obvious reasons)
1 reply from Nest Support team - 3 years ago
Hi User03, thanks for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your Nest Audio won’t sync properly with your other devices. If you haven’t yet, you can do the group playback delay correction. Here’s how: - Make sure your mobile device or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi or linked to the same account as your Chromecast, or speaker or display. - Cast music to the group that's playing out of sync. - Stand between the out of sync speakers (or as close to in between as you can) and adjust their volume levels so you hear them both playing at about the same level. - Open the Google Home app. - Tap the device you want to correct group playback delay. - Tap Settings > Audio > Group delay correction. - Move the slider to the left or right until the audio sound is in sync. If the issue still persists, you may need to take a closer look at your device. Feel free to contact our support team. We’d be more than happy to help. Please visit our Google Support page.
