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.

    It just seems like blue tooth to me. It's good if you do not have blue tooth enabled device.

    Fantastic device

    Google has managed to deliver again with the new Chromecasts (especially the Chromecast Audio). Setup is fast and painless, the sound is great, and it works with pretty much every speaker/sound system you may have lying around. You can also cast the audio from apps, such as Youtube or a specific Chrome tab, which can come in quite handy for some people.

    I wanted to love this item, but found it rather disappointing You have to install a chrome app to then broadcast data and it only worked on certain apps. I wanted overall control of music broadcast to a speaker with this device. No Bluetooth and limited function, the devise went back quickly

    The in store worker told me that I could use this to stream wireless music to a regular stereo. That is not the case. Be sure to review this Friday at first to determine its actual function in order to determine if it will work for you. I found the functionality to be limited.
