Customers are saying

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 as a GREAT substitute if your speaker system does not support wireless/streaming capabilities. The only CON in my opinion is that it does not feature bluetooth connection, only wi-fi.

    We use this to deliver wireless sound from our Google Home to our Bluetooth speaker. This was a simple solution to Google Home not having audio out connector.

    I use this to play music over our sound system at the gym. Works over wifi, so you can be anywhere as long as you're on the same wifi network. Worth the money.

    Sounds better than a Bluetooth on my Nakamichi receiver. But when casting from a PC lip sync was off. Still great for Spotify though. Worth $15 sale price easy.

    Love everything about it except the limitations on what can be casted from your phone/tablet/computer. Bluetooth has no limitations other than distance and possibly sound quality.

    Its a little tricky to setup. But once you have done it, you know have an audio source that is just as good as any sonos speaker. And you can group other chrome audio sources.
