    Major flaw: Cannot cast like normal chromecast

    I had high hope for this Chromecast Audio. The idea is good but implementation is poor. I wanted to use this to connect to my speaker instead of using bluetooth for better sound and I was WRONG. The major flaw is that you CANNOT easily cast the audio from youtube! You can cast "Youtube Music" (Google's music service) but not normal youtube. And you cannot do mirroring of Audio. How come you can mirror both video and audio when using a normal chromecast and you cannot mirror just audio using this? You need work around , e.g. on PC, you need to cast TAB by clicking through menus instead of using the cast icon on youtube page. But you can't do that on Android device. Even with different workarounds, it's still very limited and troublesome. This is only good for subscriptions like Spotify, Tidal or Youtube Music. For anything else you want to cast you need some sort of workarounds or another app/hack. I'd rather get a normal chromecast and then buy a HDMI audio extractor. This way I could cast, mirror any audio i want easily.

    The noise cancelling doesn't work as well as I'd like but other than that they work really well. The bass is amazing!

    Somewhat unreliable

    Bought this to use for a wedding. Needed it to be 100% reliable. However, upon testing, it would sometimes not connect. Furthermore, the Google Music service has problems like cutting off the ends of songs, switching to other songs by itself, and skipping some songs entirely. Ended up returning it. Would maybe use for casual use if I didn't end up using Spotify instead.
