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.

    No problems so far. Quality seems fine and there are no dropouts. I will buy another when it gets back to the sale price.

    I bought this planning to use it in my car because I am tired of having to use an AUX cord. I figured that it was bluetooth, and that it would be no problem to get set up. Once I tried to set it up, I realized that it runs on wifi, not bluetooth, so I would need a pretty complex set up to allow it to work in my car, which was not worth the effort. It works well in my house with wifi though

    I have had a Chromecast connected to my 2 TVs since they were first introduced. Love being able to cast Netflix, Google Play Movies, Google Play Music, etc. Got one of these when they were on sale for $25, and had a BB Reward for $10, so - getting the Audio only version for $15 was a DEAL! Connected it my Pioneer Receiver via RCA to 1/8", and LOVE that I can now play all my digital/streaming content from my phone to my home stereo!!
