Found for me it was very hit or miss
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got it for intended purpose but I was a huge headache to use. Ended up throwing it in a big. I did need to buy the optical to 3.5mm cable

It works, most of the time
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When using with Sonos, it's severely sub-par. Now I very well might be spoiled, but I'm expecting way less drop outs, better integration, and overall better sound quality.

Worked alright
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It worked okay but didn't mirror iTunes and would randomly stop working and need to be reconnected to wifi signal

works only with some applications
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I should have looked at the reviews and descriptions more carefully. i don't like that I can only use it with some music applications and not with everything.

I bought this hoping
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this hoping I'd be able to cast audible to my sonos speakers . But being google didn't help. Kinda useless as sonos has most the same apps.

Okay but limited
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the concept, multi room etc. Good value. I do have random dropouts, and the applications are very limited. I wish I could stream any app on my phone.

Decent Option
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent option for adding casting & streaming functionality to your audio, but limited selection of compatible apps is only drawback.

Cool product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cool product it upgraded my old iPod speaker. This would be much better if it worked with more music apps and didn't drop out connection so often.

OK - a bit complicated to set up at first
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works great to stream music from tablet & phone to surround sound system. Was a bit complicated at first to set up - but once set up - works great!

Cool Idea
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great idea but ultimately not compatible with our stereo system. I've kept though and am hunting for speakers to connect it to.

a waste
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased 3 believing that it woukd be a substitute for purchasing a sonos...not so fast...could not get it to work on any speaker...had to return

Simple and effective
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely easy to setup and can connect to any speakers that use a 3.5mm jack, RCA cables, or optical cable. Sound quality is excellent. Best of all, it just works as described and you can't beat the price. It is a great way to bring some old speakers back to life. It doesn't get any simpler than this. I'm going to get a second one and I am eager to try out the multi room music playing. Should be a breeze.

Music streamer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well. But has limited utility as it is suited for few apps. Was disappointing that it does not work with my favorite apps such as Raaga.

Ok
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good picture, but awkward using a phone as the remote all the time- needs a dedicated remote. Just a novelty without one.

Good if you like google play
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well with google play, but does not have enough available music apps for music lovers who listen to lesser known music apps.

It works, but definitely not the best integration.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does its job, if you cast directly to it from an Android phone but for people like me, using an iPhone its definitely not the best. I rely on my google home speakers to control this device and it gets pretty confusing. Controlling things like volume and basic things like skipping songs with google assistant needs to be better. It wouldn't always respond to the google commands correctly.

Turns anything Bluetooth
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased two and I gave one as a gift. I probably used it twice and got bored with it mainly because it doesn't support Tidal.

Eh
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works good when your using the apps that are compatible with it but it doesn't work as a Bluetooth receiver for just anything.

Not as exciting as I expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Not as exciting as I expected, also the little yellow connector doesn't inspire any additional confidence. I've returned it.
