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.

    While the cast has an easy setup and has fantastic interfacing ui; ultimately the constant disconnecting during streaming (tested on both my iphone and android tablets) really makes it hard to recommend this product.

    So this is an ok product. Not the best working. Good idea just needs refinement. My one issue is that sometimes I lose control of it chromcast and I'll need to reconnect while there is a song still playing.

    Found the devise only can pickup stations that support chromecast. Not all do. Has a app for sound levels and adjustments but could not find it after I installed the stations. The app is not very user friendly.

    its a decent setup once it works, but can be confusing and the UI is dependent on the device you are casting from. Muktiiple options means multople programs, Ive used other cast or bluetooth devices that i would probably buy instead

    I bought 4 of the these to play music throughout my whole house. The 3.5mm headphone jack can cause static if moved. Sometimes the audio isn’t as clear as with other sources, but overall they work.

    wrong device for wireless speakers

    the literature was very vague. It did not specify that it will not work unless you download proprietary software. It insinuated it was usable as wireless speaker control when in fact it is only a wireless device for selected apps.

    It works will but it only plays music. You can tell Google to play music to it but not talk directly to Google through it. If you have a permanent sound system in place this might work for you.

    Good Choice for Wi_Fi music streaming. Downside is that the number of apps that work with Chromecast Audio are somewhat limited. Otherwise it's a decent product for the price.

    This product worked fine to enable my Bose speaker to be WiFi but I was looking for it to enable Bluetooth. Making it WiFi I could only use apps through google.
