Nest Audio vs. Nest Mini: Which one is right for you? 

Now over two years since Nest Audio was introduced, a half price sale (Black Friday week) made me think it was time to upgrade from the original Google Mini, which I want to use in another room anyway, since you can use any two of these at once. For anyone thinking of this upgrade, I thought besides the more bass and being more usable for a little music once in a while, one advantage I read about is what made me want to try the newer and bigger Nest Audio, and for me it makes it worth the $50 sale price. The three mics in the Nest Audio are ultra-sensitive to low voice levels, even while playing music or an alarm. I use the timers and alarm feature a lot and being able to just say STOP quietly from a distance, and it stops, is really a pleasure. That was annoying in the Google Mini, having to shout at it or tell it STOP or CANCEL multiple times if it didn't hear me the first time.

Excellent video, it's helped me made my decision to go with a dual Audio setup!

If you hate music get the mini. If you don't hate music, you will after listening to it on a mini.

The nest mini is usually on sale for $29

I live in a railroad apartment with high celings. I have a Nest Mini in my front room (Bedroom) and one in the 3rd half room back next to the kitchen. Was looking to add another speaker in the kitchen or bathroom (I like music when I shower). Was leaning toward putting the nest audio in the bedroom or the den. After watching this video, I may just get another mini. Although the problem will be whether to put it in the kitvhen or the bathroom. I have a bluetooth speaker in the bathroom and I think I can pair it with the audio but not the mini.

The cat was a dealbreaker for me. They are ancient gods you see, whatever they say , must be correct. So ill have 2 please

There’s a deal for both atm. (U get the mini free) Can u pair them together?

I literally just got mine today and man I LOVE THE NEST AUDIO. It's freaking great the bass and highs are pretty damn good I'm glad I got it.

Is there a bigger one? I have the nest audio and it's amazing.

I would rather get a Mini and then get a high quality speaker. It may be more expensive but at least I am actually getting some top quality audio and the convenience of a smart speaker.

my nest mini keeps getting disconnected every 2 days so i have to set it up again every 2 days :)) google is aware of this problem but its been a year like this already

Does anyone knows the nest audio can connect with LG smart tv?

Thanks this was the most useful video for comparing those too product!!!

Appreciate this video, it helps me decide which one to buy. Thanks!

How does one do a speaker comparison with no sound test?

well I just bought an extra nest mini and I received for xmas the nest audio...well u can't compare them, I prefer to put less volume in the nest mini (not the opposite as everyone is thinking) as the quality of nest audio is much and much better than nest mini...but for having a surround effect it is quite cool....I bought the mini for about 24$ and the nest audio now is 50$ in promo, maybe ill get an extra one for the stereo effect or for increasing the surround effect.... so pity that I still prefer to have also 2 google home mini just cuz I can use them outside with a powerbank....so pity that now u have this handicap for outisde, I guess cuz google didnt like maybe that people were using it as a portable speaker...imagine if nest audio was like that..I was buying 2 extra for sure!

Can you pair these two together?

Just got a Nest mini for $30, an impulse buy at that point and great value. A Nest audio would be nice but is it over 3x better? Not for me

Hi I have 2 questions, Can we answers the calls on these speakers? and another question can we pair our phones or laptops with these speakers and use them as bluetooth speakers? thanks

Sees this video in my recommended when i own both

I have two Nest Hubs, a Nest Mini, and Nest Wifi Speakers. The Hubs sound the best, with the Wifi Speakers coming in second, and the mini in last. I was surprised how well the Nest Wifi Speakers sounded.

The Nest Audio would be a good scratching post for cats.

I'm unable to download the app. Why ?

Wats quisiera tener unos de esos eso en mi país cuesta muchisimo dinero saludos desde Perú

Such a sweetie… I mean the cat hahaha!

Aesthetically speaking, I think the Nest Audio looks better to me. Obviously, it's louder. But financially, the Nest Mini is way cheaper and has lots of deals on it. I grabbed 2 Mini's on sale for the price of one so I could have more around the house, plus one for my girlfriend and we both love them. I mostly use them for smart features and music on occasion.

Your Google Audio Assistant! sounds nice 💕 If you want to save 💞Nest mini $50 Sure a handsome Asst.👍

I come from the future and the Nest Audio is $50 on Cyber Monday, today 11/29/21 :D

Damnit!! I alrdy bought the nest audio🙃

A pair for $38 or a pair for $170. 🤔

I have the nest mini which I bought last year during black friday for 30 bucks. I got another free one from youtube music. This year I want to get a nest audio for hopefully like 50 bucks

Has este video en español

"It has a 75mm subwoofer". Calling it an undersized "midrange unit", would be more accurate.

yeah if you're buying one of those you're buying them for the speaker now, if you're buying it for affordability at the moment. Yes the other one's cheaper but if you're buying it for quality you want the larger one you can't say your first answer the way you did because it's without the context of the main difference between the two value. Yes quality no.

I bought mini and the audio quality is a joke. It’s like listening to music on your phone :D So couple minutes ago I ordered Audio and we’ll see if it’s any better :)

I'm disappointed that RU-vidr don't discuss how the Nest Mini has the most issues especially Wi-Fi disconnection. Always just hear about the positive things, never warning the buyers. Are they afraid that Google won't support them?

Disagree. The nest audio sounds way better than the mini. I have both.

Amazon echo has what??

if WAP by Cardi B sounds way to good on the new Nest Audio than it's really worth it to spend $50 more than to bye Nest Mini... 😁😂 LoL 😆

Very good and entertaining review. I'd have preferred more technical comparisons but you did well keeping it real. I notice they have Bluetooth 5 which probably allows for the stereo experience.

Hi

PRECISO DISSO EM PORTUGUÊS, POR FAVOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I dig it 😎👍

None of the above

Totally unnecessary
