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.

    Works exactly as promised. You can literally make any speaker a part of your Google family and connect all speakers throughout your home. A must have if your speakers aren't chromecast ready

    Really good for whole home solution. If you already have speakers, and you don't want to buy a bunch of expensive Sonos systems, these things are it. They work especially well if you have a Google Home.

    Worked great turning my dad's super old stereo into something he could stream his music to. Easy set up even worked without the wifi being super close.

    The Chrome cast is a very useful device to stream videos, movies and music to our smart TV. We get a lot of use out of this, unlike any other impulse purchase - this one is definitely a useful one.

    Economical Whole House Audio!

    I have 4 of these connected in my house: living room entertainment center, office computer speakers, line-in to a bluetooth speaker in the bedroom and a cheap amp to some outdoor speakers. Using speakers that were already in my house, I now have full house audio for a $100 investment!!! I've admired Sonos for about 10 years now, but couldn't justify the cost of buying all their speakers. Chromecast Audio provides full control over what speakers are in what groups and the volume they play at. I've grouped adjacent rooms, whole house, etc. and its great to walk from room to room and not detect any major delay in the audio. My only gripe is that I wished this functionality worked with my video Chromecast.

    It's small and lightweight and can tuck away behind anything. It's nice to be able to use high-quality speakers and stay under the Google Home umbrella.

    Chromecast is perfect for its intended use. It sets up easily and performs flawlessly. If you have an amp and a set of speakers, this is all you need to stream your music and control it from your phone.

    Great sound with no wires

    We have 6 of these units in our house and it's like having central heat, A/C, or plumbing - but it's central music! It is wonderful to go room-to-room and the same music is playing, especially when entertaining. I thought that would only be possible with wires, but this is just as good a sound without the work and clutter. Bluetooth is not the same thing. Comparing wi-fi and bluetooth is like comparing CDs and FM radio. Buffering and complete shutdowns occur a little too often, but that could be a function of my wi-fi signal. I love having control over what is playing, how loud it is and where it is playing all from my phone or PC! I highly recommend Chromecast Audio!

    When the Chromecast hooks up to your wifi, it works great. I first used it on the stereo in my garage, and it was awesome listening to Spotify when I was outside working on projects. The wireless signal out there is usually sufficient for my phone, but I began having issues getting connected with the ChromeCast. I moved it inside, thinking that it was possibly too warm for it, but I'm having the same issues with it there, as well. It might possibly be an issue with my wireless router, but none of my other devices seem to have any issues. I think it's just one drawback of having such a small unit. It's convenient, but proximity to the network is crucial. If you can get it in the right location, I think you'll be happy.

    I have been using the Chromecast Audio on some old computer speakers and it has been working very well. There are a few times when the music just stops but that may be more of a Spotify issue than a problem with the Chromecast.

    I bought this item because it was on sale and included a $10 gift card. It's limited in what it can do. You have to use a very limited selection of apps (Pandora and a couple of others for iPhone people). It's a cheap way to get wireless functionality for playing music but it's not great.
