    The ability to turn my old 30-pin iphone docks back into functioning speakers is great. The ability to turn old speakers into a wireless speaker network for 35 bucks a pop is phenomenal.

    Added this to Google Home so we can play what we want on it to any sound system in the house. Great for using multiple song list in different parts of the home. Will be adding 2 more soon

    Earbuds and Bluetooth are fine, but you cannot beat a real HiFi stereo system, even if you use it for streaming music. This Chromecast Audio connected to a stereo (or 5.1) receiver is a great foundation for a modern music setup. I still use and enjoy CDs and vinyl records, but streaming music via one of the services compatible with Chromecast (I use Google Play Music) to a 2 channel stereo receiver via this Chromecast Audio is a beautiful and simple way to put your digital music "out there". Buy it, get you a Sony 2 channel stereo receiver paired with some Polk T50 tower speakers (when on sale at Best Buy), and crank it up. You will love what you hear.

    Another excellent gadget produced by Google. It was so easy to setup and now I love streaming my music at home. The fact that family and guests can simply connect, too makes it even more fun.

    Works great when casting from my phone and google home. Making a group with google home lets me cast the same music to all of my devices. Works surprisingly well and is easy to set up!

    Took a minute to set up. Works great with google home. Volume output a bit low and need to get used to the volume level control with google home. But overall good device especially creating a home group.

    Inexpensive Solution for Older Sound Bar

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this because my older sound bar does not have Bluetooth connectivity. Instead of buying a new sound bar that has Bluetooth, I purchased this device. I like the fact that I can be further away from the device compared to using Bluetooth. I also like that I don't have to have my tv turned on to use this device (as I do with the Chromecast, version 2). I do have a minor issue with this device. The 3.5 mm port that I connect this device to my sound bar is a bit flimsy. If you jiggle the 3.5 mm cable at the plugin port on this device, you will hear some scratchy noise through the speaker when the music is playing. Other than that, it works well and I can use my phone, tablet, or computer as its own remote control.

    Great device for streaming to non-bluetooth device

    I really enjoy my Chromecast Audio device. It is doing exactly what I wanted--streaming music from my iPhone to a radio with an audio input port. Since the radio had no bluetooth, I needed this Google Chromecast Audio to facilitate wireless music transmission. You will need power and a 3.5mm audio input for the device to work. I also needed to download the Chromecast App to my iPhone. I have found there are times where the connection is dropped and I can't find the Chromecast Audio when using Pandora. That is usually solved by rebooting the Chromecast Audio. I wish I didn't have to do this, but connections can be inconsistent about 1-2 times a week. When it's working, it is just wonderful for listening to Pandora and Spotify!

    The program is easy to set up and the system is simple to use. It is easier to use google chrome for most audio. Youtube is not an option with Apple or Sonos so beware of that drawback. Other than that its quality
