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 hoped with HOME google was thinking at a larger system concept. No they are narrowly focused on creating new cash cows. I thought casting should work across all google devices: Home,Android phones, chromecast built-in TVs, chromecast audio, chrome browser. Nope. Only NEW Chromecast will talk to NEW Chromecast devices. You wont know until you buy it. I spent $70. and 3 weeks to find out it would NOT let me play music on all my devices throughout my home. Too bad google. You blew an opportunity

    Works as advertised... though I was expecting to be able to stream the audio from YouTube videos through the unit. Turns out you can't do that, bummer. Stinks for things like NPR Tiny Desk Concerts that are only in video format. Beyond this though, the unit works well with my receiver and acts as a de facto wireless function add-on. I added it to the receiver running my speakers in the deck, garage and sunroom. I can change the (Pandora) music without having to get within Bluetooth range or go inside.

    I hooked this up to my home theater and linked to my Google home speaker for commands. Now I can ask the home speaker to play spotify on my home theater system using chromecast. One note, if you are hooking it up to your home theater, make sure you set up the output from chromecast to advanced output or home theater output or something like that so that the sound comes out sharper on the home theater speakers.
