Customer Ratings & Reviews

Setup was short, few hoops to jump through. Works as designed with no lag with Google home. Wish It had optical out for auto on function with stereo. Need phone to control. Continues to play when you leave the house if not shut off first and can be annoying to reconnect when you return.

I bought this to use with an old stereo (but still nice speakers) in my library. It works great. My laptop and phone can easily cast to the stereo. It plugs in the aux input and it does require another wall socket to power it.

I purchased this product to set up a wireless connection in one of the rooms in my house. The set up was easy. It works just as advertised. Now I can listen to music effortlessly and I'm pleased with the sound quality. I would recommend this product to a friend.

I got this to work with my Google home dot. It worked but was buggy. Can't change the volume through voice commands. Not really a short coming of this device I suppose. If your looking for a way to use your phone and cast to any receiver then you can't go wrong.

Amazing economical device to instantly access music over practically any streaming service. Google also sells an aux to toslink connector which could be better for some setups. Although I do not see a big difference between this device and the original chromcast.

I installed the Chromecast audio with my Vizio speaker and it works like a charm. I didn't want to use the cable connection and was glad that the gadget has an optical audio output on it. So I used an optical cable and got good output. I recommend this purchase.

I bought 3 and will buy more but have had them disconnect from the network more than I thought they would. I also knew that I could not cast directly form amazon music services but it still annoys me. Otherwise they are great I am just waiting on them to go back on sale for $25 each.

I only ended up purchasing this to listen to music in my kitchen with my Google Home. I have since purchased 2 more to play music in different rooms in my house. I even ended up signing up for Google Music so I can pretty much play any song when I want.

Nice, works well, but is difficult to stop after it has been playing for a while and your phone is not in the app that your using to play from, similar to the chromecast video. I only have one so I can't speak about the grouping capabilities, not yet anyway.

This is a great product, it does exactly what it is supposed to. I had to order an extra (special) optical cable so I could connect it through optics but if you are just using its aux port then you are good. I just wish I had another to use the dual receiver casting in my house.

I have 4 of these now providing Synced Audio to four rooms in my house. Google also allows you to upload all your music so it can be streamed for free. Whole house audio for a fraction the cost.

What a deal! Connect these around the house to whatever old PC speaker or soundbars and name in your house zones and you have music everywhere. There doesn't seem to be any latency in the zones. I have one in backyard, one in basement and one in my back bedroom. It rocks.

It's great for what it does.....can be a touch glitchy

I use youtube playlist all day for my music. The good, I can hook it up to my speakers that doesn't have bluetooth. The bad, Youtube subscription is needed to stream using Chromecast Audio. I haven't had a chance to look into it if there's a work around for that.

My old stereo was expensive when I purchased it years ago, so not looking to replace, but it is not Bluetooth compatible. This worked great at making it Bluetooth ready! Love that I can use my phone to control it.

We bought a new speaker, so it only made sense to buy another Chromecast Audio. I can also confirm that the multi-speaker (multi-room) synchronization works well and is convenient to launch with speaker group assignments.

This music dongle is pretty great especially with android devices. If you have an apple phone as do I, it will take more work to use google play with your own music. I also wish wish it worked with youtube.

Works as advertised. Casting is simple. Only issue thus far is that "group casting" seems to have some connection issues and will randomly stop playing on all but one devices. I have to stop, disconnect, and reconnect to my home group for this to start working again.

Pros Easy set up Great product Cons Not compatible with apple products Would give 5 stars if my music collection wasn't all on iTunes. This may not be Google's fault, but it's still a problem if I can't use it.

This is a niche item, not as feature-rich as the full google chromecast, but if this is what you need for your audio setup, it will do exactly what you want and it will do it well. Google makes excellent products, backed by great customer support.
