google is apple?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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

Solid Product, With Caveat
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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 would recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Bluetooth

What I needed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
