System firmware updated from 20334130 to 21441130 and cast firmware from 1.44.219548 to 1.52.272222
Have set them as a stereo pair and compared them to both nest audio and kygo, they're definitely better than the kygo pair and close to nest audio pair but missing a bit of base (at approx half the price). I guess if you've got apple phones then there's bonus of being airplay 2 as well
Many other older (no-longer-supported) 3rd party speakers were just left by their manufacturers on the old firmware and then you couldn't group them any longer, but JBL actually updated the firmware on the older speakers so they still work. Truly excellent customer service!! (edited)
You need the Googlr Home app to setup for voice activation but not sure about bluetooth.
Good sound (similar to my Pure Discover - only looking to replace for the waterproof rating) My only comment would be they take a while to power on currently testing to see how long they last last being switched on without sny use (i would only use in bathroom / wet area).
Thanks

PS Just got them to play together, but no stereo. (edited)
Both need to be switched on and maybe double check they're both on the same firmware & castware (edited)
Now the recent offer. I immediately ordered some. They arrived but they would not stereo pair, & one only stayed on for 10 seconds no matter how many times I charged it. I contacted the dealer who told me to contact JBL direct. They said they could repair it. I didn't want a brand new item repaired so I went back to the dealer and was only offered money back, so I would lose the offer. In the end I decided, against my better judgement, to get them repaired. I was given a repair number & where I could take them to the pick up point, all were 10 mile round trip or more. On the printed form our local Morrisons was given, so we trundled down there. They refused to take them because their locker was full, mainly because the last lot of parcels had not yet been picked up. They gave us another pick up address, so off we went, but they were closing down and no longer accepted parcels. So back home contacted repair direct & they arranged for the speakers to be picked up. The story continues...
