Lyrical Block 32 I’m subscribed to the family package which is $22.99 a month but you can link up to 5 devices to the account, the regular one-device package is worth $11.99 a month, and it gives you the best experience ever, no adds, you can download videos to your phone so that you can watch offline and it also includes the UA-cam music app within the same package is it’s basically a win win.
@@geovannycastle4831 its not free at all. Google gets tons of free money from the FED with quantitative easing and the new cares act bill that gives out "250 billion" to corporations to buy their stocks
I honestly like how you review products thoroughly, and u actually used it for 6 month more or less. Some ppl review it after buy was nonsense. Subscribed.
Josh, I enjoyed your 6 month review of the Google Nest Mini very much. I have 4 of them myself, and like you, I am constantly changing their location in my apartment as I think of better ways to use my Google devices. Yesterday for the first time, I paired two of them in my bedroom. It will be an interesting experiment to see how that works. Just like you, I have placed my other two Nest Minis in my two bathrooms. Thanks for all you do.
Redeemed my offer too only problem is I already have 2 OG homes 2 smart displays one mini and one max. I have nowhere to put the new one! 😜. Talk about the ultimate first world problem
I am in the process of purchasing a house, And I am learning a lot of what I want and don't want in a smart home. I appreciate that your videos are very though. I do know that google is what I like and I will find items that deal with google.
Purchased two Nest Minis to create a speaker "pair" for stereo sound & quite enjoy it. Question: do you experience the Google Home app not linking w/ your devices even though wi-fi internet is "on" and emitting a signal?
@Quincey A. Allen Keep both. Bluetooth speakers are way more portable and useful imo. That said I like the nest for the bathroom. Can find out whatever I need to for the day and get my shower voice going with YT music.
Great video as always. Really like the way you present yourself and the products. Btw, I have subpar experience on my Nest Mini compared to my Home Mini. I am renting a room at my workplace. I got both Home Mini and Nest Mini as my Christmas present, so I have it them in the same room. Nest Mini definitely have better sound quality but it is less sensitive to the key word for trigger. More oftern, my Home Mini response to me rather than my Nest Mini. The Ultrasound sensing doesn't work on me consistently too. Mostly not responding to me when my hands go near by but it will respond to me when I clap my hands, this is weird.
I'm about to start a smart home 'project' in my house but still can't decide between Alexa or Google. What would you recommend or what would be the top pros/cons of each? I just want them for basic stuff like turning on AC, lights, music and smart outlets
Great video, you actually used it and came up with a great list of common uses, along with setting one up. I send this youtube video to family and friends who ask me about mine.
If you're on the net, or got a smart phone, 'they' already know. Unless you're going to dump your phone and go offline permanently it's too late now to get paranoid!
H Josh, i have a new google/nest mini coming. I have had the google mini for several years, and i love it. But i want to send that one to my sister-in-law and keep the nest mini for my self. Thanks for the review, very informative. Have a great day.
@@4WarriorofGod4 Google is really quick on shipping usually. (In the US anyway) They claimed if would take a week to get here, and it took about 4 days.
Just like everyone else, I got one of these for free from Spotify so I’m not complaining, but that home max is something else for sound quality. Blows the mini away, which is to be expected of course, but still. Wow!
I like your review series very much, but have a suggestion about the audio clips you use for sound comparisons. They're so noisy and muddled and cluttered that all the devices end up sounding so bad that I find these sound comparisons useless. I do audio work, and when comparing sound quality I like to use clips that aren't cluttered, but instead have distinct sounds like piano keys or guitar cords. I think the moments of silence between sounds are important (your clips are continuous sounds). To compare speakers, I'd add some discrete bass noted such as on a drum or a bass guitar.
I've got three of them now; they're great. One weakness so far is foreign language -- pronunciation is pretty bad, and it won't properly translate decently spoken French.
Hi Josh, I'm looking for best practices to use Google Nest mini (and other Google Nest audio devices) in combination with my iPhone en iPad. I'm not sure if it works as well as it does with Android devices. One of the things I've noticed is that when I play UA-cam videos from my iPad and stream the audio (via bluetooth) to my Nest Mini, there's a slight delay. This is an issue I don't have with other bluetooth audio devices, but that may just be a software issue... Anyway, if you have tips, I'd be more than interested. I couldn't find much on the net. Thank you!
Why did Google send this to me for free? I have none of their products or services but yet they sent me one for free I'm confused on this can anybody answer this question?
No one else thinks anything is suspicious about these items being given away for free? I got a free one from spotify last year. And I was just sent an email from my auto insurance Nationwide that they want to give me a free Amazon echo for my car. We know these corporations are not that generous. Definitely ulterior motives here.
Sound quality: Google Nest Mini vs Google Home? Most reviews compare Nest Mini to Home Mini, but the latter was never meant to sound well. As I write this, older Home can easily be found for under $50 - just like the new Nest Mini. Yet, it's almost impossible to find a decent comparison.
Bluetooth pairing with the Nest mini is terrible and constantly disconnects. That is my biggest issue with it and they haven't solved the issue based on my research.
Can I set configure a Google Mini to greet me by name when I walk through the front door? Can my phone’s locations settings be used to trigger this action?
What if Google is just sending those nest mini and using them to spy and listen to private conversation and store them into their database. Giving away nest mini sounds sketchy.
Hi Josh, I noticed in this review that you had a Lenovo 4inch smart clock I'm considering introducing it to my house hold mix possible replacing nest mini in bedroom with beside clock or in possible the cock in the kitchen and reuse the nest mini in black spots within my house rather than buy another. How does the clock compared to the nest mini ❓ kind regards Bruce
Here are our thoughts on the Lenovo smart clock: ua-cam.com/video/jeDmAOF5Eag/v-deo.html We also have a video coming up next week on the second Gen nest hub which can also be used as a smart clock and either device will give you a lot of benefit by having a display to be able to control your alarms. Hope that helps!
You forgot to mention one of the worst things, you can't tell it to play a particular song and you can only tell it to skip a song a certain number of times. Unless you pay for a subscription. And it will constantly remind you that you need a subscription to mute the stupid ads saying to get a subscription.
Thats only a limitation of using a free tier of a music streaming service. This is a feature of the music streaming service not necessarily of the device itself. But paying for a music streaming it will get rid of the ads, or you can try linking a different service in music settings in the Google Home app.
