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.

    I connected this to my old surround sound system to stream some music to it, and it works as advertised. I haven't had any issues with it. I used to use an old cell phone to do what I do with this, this is way easier.

    We have the Google Cast Audio connected to our sound bar. It's a great way to just play some music without having to turn anything else on. Plays from any phone without any hassle.

    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.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I already own the original Chromecast (which works great with my Android phone for streaming videos), but I also wanted to be able to stream music while watching TV. This does the trick!

    My wife and I had a family cook out and we wanted the same music to play in multiple rooms, We also didn't want to spend alot, hence the Chromecast Audio. Was an easy set up and works great.

    Purchased this to stream music through my Samsung soundbar accessory jack. Controlling it with Google home, this works great. Similar to a Bluetooth receiver but controllable with home.

    This does what expensive Bluetooth equipment does for a fraction of the cost. No need to discard old receivers, just add this chromecast audio and it ready for Bluetooth.

    If you have great speakers but cannot link them together, this little purchase can link your speakers together for a Sonos type experience on the cheap!

    This product makes streaming music in the house really easy. I bought this and paired it with my speakers and have a better sound system and one that's much cheaper than going the Sonos route

    So easy a caveman could do it. This works great and my wife and kids could set this up if they need to move system components or add one of their own devices. Great sound, no lag on my system!

    For casual listeners and audiophiles alike this is an excellent device. The sound quality is top notch and none of the drawbacks of Bluetooth. Needs a few more app support though e.g. Amazon prime music
