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.

    Inexpensive and functional way to stream music. Run it through a decent DAC and you are in business. The sale price is the bargain of the century.

    This works great! It was inexpensive, it is very small and easy to conceal behind the stereo. Works great from my iPad or iPhone from anywhere in the house.

    I use my Chromecast with Google Home, I can tell Home what music I want to listen to on Pandora or Google Play Music and it casts it to any or all of my Chromecasts.

    I have two of these. They are the best way to connect my existing speakers to stream music. Very economical at $35/$15 while you can find them.

    Works excellent. Better sound than bluetooth. If your just trying to get sound to stationary speakers in range of personal wifi than this is far superior than blue tooth.

    Great if you ever had problems using bluetooth. After connecting to chromecast audio, it uses wifi to stream audio to your speakers instead of your device's bluetooth.

    There is nothing too innovative about it. You can use a Bluetooth receiver and get the same results but not all features. It’s ok, if you can get it on sale or for a good price. I’d recommend it. But for the price is it selling for now and your not trying to integrate the whole house. I’d get a cheap Bluetooth aux receiver and plug it in your aux jack. Or a regular Cromecast for you main home theater. Just my two cents. It’s not bad depending on what you want to do.

    Great product. It worked as a charm. I had to buy a component cable for my Bose sound system. But it worked pretty good and setup was very easy out of the box.
