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.

    I like idea of the Chromecast Audio and I was really excited to use this with my Google Home. But this fell a little short with our iPhones. Maybe later down the road Apple will allow Google to do more things and I'll buy this product again. But for now it's going back to the store.

    I bought 2 Chromecast units to stream music around the house. It does stream music, but the stream gets lost periodically and takes several attempts sometimes to reconnect. I will note that I am using an iPhone though, so user experience may be better when using an Android product.

    Overheats and causes audio issues

    I've only had it for a day now, but I've already noticed that when in use, after about 20 minutes of streaming audio I start hearing the audio pulsing louder and quieter. I noticed when I went to inspect the device (I bought it along with a brand new stereo receiver) that the chromecast audio device was really hot. I turned it off and moved it in hopes that it would cool down and resolve the issue, however about an hour later when I turned it back on, the same thing happened. To rule out the issue being the receiver, I plugged my phone directly into the receiver and audio came out just fine. I ran my audio from my phone for about an hour with no issues. I will be returning this chromecast audio device and exchanging it in hopes that the one I received is defective.

    These work as specified, but unless you want to leave your device that the audio is running to they aren't very simple to use. Also many audio devices come with chromecast built-in now so I rarely use this anymore.
