Stunning designHigh-quality audio outputPlenty of connectivity options
There's a lot to love and a lot to hope for with the Nexus Q. If you are a Google Play content consumer
The Q could be a useful device for you. As of this writing
Google TV doesn't have a Google Movies/TV Show app available (though it is promised soon)
Setup was easy
And streaming content was just as simple. I didn't have a problem getting music
Movies or YouTube videos to play
So I'd imagine using the Q will be just as easy for other folks

Intelligent mute feature is flakySubpar rangeNo built-in controls
Limited functionalityCan only access Google Play contentCan only be controlled by Android devices
The limited featureset is the biggest negative here. Right now
Android fans only need apply. It won't do anyone else any good. Even Android fans will have a hard time seeing all the benefits if they aren't totally bought into the Google ecosystem. I get
While the video and audio quality are good
You can only enjoy them while the stream works. Pulling from the Play tore requires some serious bandwidth chops
So it'll work only as well as your connection. To be fair

Expensive. Requires an Android smartphone or tablet to work. Can't play video stored on your Android device. No Netflix or Hulu Plus. No streaming audio apps
The Nexus Q is very expensive and doesn't stream from any non-Google services like Netflix
Pandora
Spotify
MLB.TV
Or Amazon Instant
Nor can it stream content from your own PC or DLNA server. It also requires an Android smartphone or tablet to control
Only works on Android 2.3 and later
Expensive
Limited functionality and content selection
Lack of support for popular software platforms
Hardware devices and streaming apps limits the experience. Three hundred dollars is a big turnoff. Google Play TV and Movies app needs work. Setup is not smooth and easy
Google presented its Nexus Q as a great gadget. Sadly, what we saw in tests proved otherwise. Sure, the device in itself looks good and does not really suck in performing tasks. But the lack of a large array of features and the price make it inferior com...
It's not for everyone, but you could dig the design of this thing. Look at the picture above—doesn't it look like a sentinel from The Matrix? Bad ass. Build quality on the orb is very solid. Setup was very easy (when it worked). Audio quality and picture
There are so many bugs in the system, it's hard to know where to begin. First off, the Q sometimes has trouble staying linked with the phone. Tested on two separate Qs, a phone, and a tablet, it had issues with every setup. The testing required factory re
No. Well, if 320kbps is just what you like, you have all of your music on Google Play, a fast internet connection, and $300 doesnt sound like much money for you, then sure. For everybody else, this would be a cool novelty item (or it will be if once the...
Abstract: AS CONSUMERS start to own more than one device, the need for a separate device to act as a central 'command centre' becomes more apparent in daily life. Google recently announced the Nexus Q at the I/O developer conference, a self-produced entertainment m...

Abstract: Auf der Entwicklerkonferenz I/O 2012 zeigte Google nicht nur sein neues 7-Zoll-Tablet, sondern mit dem Nexus Q auch ein Media-Center nach Google-Art. Eng verknüpft mit den Google-Diensten will es Apple-TV Konkurrenz machen.Googles Nexus Q Medien-Kugel sor...
einzigartiges Design, LEDBeleuchtung reagiert auf Musik, direktes Streaming von Google Play, AndroidGeräte als Fernbedienung, integrierter Verstärker,
sehr teuer, keine StreamingMöglichkeiten von NichtGoogleServices, kein Streaming von PC oder DLNAServer möglich, keine eigene Fernbedienung oder Oberfläche, daher AndroidDevice zum Steuern erforderlich,
Das außergewöhnliche und eindrucksvolle Design des Nexus Q kann leider nicht die krassen Einschränkungen wettmachen, die der auf Google-Dienste limitierte Media-Streamer mitbringt - jedenfalls nicht bei diesem Preispunkt. Fanden Sie diesen Testbericht...
