0:00
old busted new hotness
0:21
all right guys we have the all new nest
0:24
audio in the house this is the
0:26
air apparent to the original google home
0:29
everything about it on the spec sheet
0:32
the price tag is better it comes in at
0:34
99 dollars which is 30 dollars cheaper
0:36
than this one cost when it first came
0:38
out and that's a big deal because
0:40
the assistant smart b smart speaker
0:44
and google really needed a good sounding
0:47
well-priced device to stay competitive
0:50
we're going to unbox this and see what's
0:51
inside i can already tell you from the
0:55
this thing is heavy the original google
0:57
home speaker wasn't bad
0:58
all the weights in the base but it just
1:01
felt a little bit cheap
1:02
this thing feels like a brick you can
1:05
see when we're pulling it out here it's
1:07
really not that much larger i think it's
1:09
about an inch and a half taller than
1:11
the highest point on the original google
1:14
it feels massive and from everything
1:18
there's a reason for that there google's
1:22
more volume than the original google
1:23
home and 50 percent more bass boost so
1:26
we'll check that out in a minute right
1:28
now let's just take a look at this thing
1:30
uh on the front i love what they've done
1:33
no logos no buttons no anything it's
1:35
going to look good on a shelf
1:38
an end table your tv stand kitchen
1:40
wherever you decide to put it these
1:41
things are going to blend in with your
1:42
decor and it's not going to look gaudy
1:44
because honestly we all know this looks
1:46
like a glade air freshener
1:48
around the back have the typical mute
1:51
the little g logo blends in nicely and
1:54
then the barrel port for the power
1:56
they did not do a 3.5 millimeter input
2:00
some people have complained about that
2:01
but i honestly can't think of a time
2:03
that i've plugged an audio jack into any
2:05
of my smart speakers that do have an
2:08
it's not a big deal to me other than
2:10
that there's not really much to this
2:12
other than the weight i'm going to say
2:14
it one more time this thing could be
2:16
used as a home defense device it is
2:18
just hefty and that's probably a very
2:22
so let's check out what else is in here
2:28
google logo there for the uh powerport
2:33
and just some really really minimal
2:35
paperwork it's a nest speaker you set it
2:37
up with the google home app like
2:38
anything else so there's really no need
2:40
to have a bunch of uh
2:42
flare inside that box so give us a
2:44
minute guys we're going to get this
2:46
thing set up and just
2:47
check it out and see how it sounds all
2:49
right guys we're all set up
2:51
as we expected you open the google home
2:53
app it sees the nest audio
2:55
you do the setup just like you would any
2:56
other google assistant smart speaker
2:58
does have a nice little walkthrough to
3:00
show you where the controls are because
3:01
looking at it you have no idea you have
3:03
a play pause button is right here in the
3:06
center on the front face of the speaker
3:08
and then volume down is on this side and
3:11
is on this side other than that there's
3:13
there's nothing you have the mic
3:15
mute switch on the back and there are no
3:16
other controls because you're going to
3:18
be casting to this anyway
3:19
most of this stuff you're just going to
3:20
be doing from your phone your tablet or
3:23
your computer so now that we've got it
3:25
hooked up let's see what this thing
3:27
sounds like and see what all the hype's
3:33
all right so we have it about 30 right
3:38
see what it sounds like when it kicks in
3:45
it's clear it's got a good sound
3:57
i can already tell you that the bases
3:58
are way better than the original google
4:02
it has a good clear mid sound it's not
4:04
getting drowned out we have another
4:05
speaker in the office that we'll
4:06
probably compare this to
4:08
later it's uh has really great bass but
4:11
a lot of times when you have it turned
4:13
up to high volumes the bass overpowers
4:15
the mids and the highs gets a little
4:17
muddy this just sounds really clear so
4:19
let's turn it up a little bit more
4:21
and see what it sounds like
4:26
so it's about 60 right there
4:29
that's probably about as loud as you'd
4:31
want it if you had it in the office or
4:32
maybe your living room or something
4:34
a little too loud for conversation but
4:38
so uh we're gonna use this for a few
4:40
days put it up against a couple other
4:41
speakers we have here in the office
4:44
let us know what you think what you'd
4:46
like to compare it to i've seen a lot of
4:47
people wanting to see the ikea
4:49
and the sonos and things of that nature
4:51
we really like the way this looks
4:54
google has really gone with the nest
4:56
branding the same colors as the nest
4:58
mini the new nest mini and then they've
5:02
sort of sage that comes on the new pixel
5:04
5 which i absolutely love that color
5:06
they didn't have at our local best buy
5:08
or that's the one i would have gotten
5:10
but we'll be following up with a review
5:12
of this as well as some head-to-heads
5:13
with some other speakers so
5:15
drop a comment below and let us know
5:16
what you'd like to see out of the new
5:18
nest audio and don't forget to hit that
5:21
and subscribe to check out the new
5:22
videos when they come out
5:24
until next time guys this is the new
