Customers are saying

Customers commend Chromecast Audio for its ease of use, excellent sound quality, and reasonable price. Many appreciate its seamless streaming capabilities and compatibility with other Google devices. While some users wish for a longer range and a built-in battery, the overwhelmingly positive feedback centers on the device's ease of setup and superior audio performance compared to Bluetooth alternatives. The convenience of using WiFi for audio streaming is also frequently highlighted.

  • Not quite what I was hoping for

    I bought this for a second stereo system. Set up was not easy & I ended up having to call a friend who is very computer savvy to help. It took him almost an hour. Still not fully working. I still can't use all streaming apps. I will note I'm using an android phone which is supposed to make it fully compatible. I guess it's alright for the money, but not as good as I expected.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    However, look into your situation, it may be more advantageous to purchase the TV Chromecast and send audio from tv to receiver.

    Best way to charge a cell phone by far. The unit does heat up so we unplug it when not in use.

    Fits nicely into my home audio "landscape"---joins, Google Home, Sonos and more. Price could be cheaper given what it is though.
