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.

    This works as intended - can be addressed throughout my house and seems to offer decent performance. It seems a bit more touchy than my regular chromecast though - positioning it properly is really important to get consistent wifi connection.

    I have about a half dozen of these now hooked to each of my stereos. Now I can hear music all over the house and outside. I use an iPhone and AllCast to play music from iTunes on the phone... works like a charm.

    Even with slow, satellite based Wi-Fi the Chromecast Audio works perfectly. Tip: If you want to plug this into a stereo receiver, you need to get an adapter as this only comes with an AUX input cord.

    Sad that Google discontinued this product but glad I purchased one before it's no longer available. The Chromecast audio just works....even more consistently than bluetooth!

    I purchased this to use with a Google Home Mini. It was very easy to set up and works well with the voice commands on the Home Mini. I especially like how the audio synch between the devicrs.

    Only thing that would make it better would be if it created a Bluetooth device rather than connecting through wifi. At work, I often find myself wanting to use an old stereo and I don't have network access.

    This is a great device that allows you to turn non bluetooth/wireless speakers into wireless speakers. I have this setup on my surround sound system and some going around the house and it works amazing!

    Great way to make a whole home speaker system. Paired with google home this is great for whole home sound systems. Also there is not delay from device to device. I have 4 of them with my google home.

    Bought this to add to my older home entertainment system. I have an older Yamaha receiver that does not have Bluetooth. Works great, but needs more software support. Works with Pandora, Spotify premium, and Google music.

    This is the second Chromecast Audio I have bought and they work pretty flawlessly. I wish they had a little more amplification but that's not really what they are for. Got one in the kitchen and master bath.

    This product was very effective. Instead of purchasing a new stereo system. Pairing this with Google Home has been a great solution. If there was a way to use this without plugging into the wall it would be that much better.

    Brought this device so that my Google Home could cast audio to my built in home audio system. Now I just say "OK Google play XYZ on Home" and its pumps music throughout my old home hard wired system.

    I was schematical about buying this compared to Bluetooth connection. Glad I chose this for just the fact that I could still use my phone for just about anything while streaming.

    It's wonderful being able to cast music to a good stereo system and not just a portable Bluetooth speaker. I also love how I can synchronize audio playback between this and another chrimecadt audio.

    If you already have your own speakers/amps and want a multiroom streaming setup, you can't do better than Chromecast Audio. I've got three - living room, bedroom and office - and I couldn't be happier.

    Was going to buy all new speakers to use the multi room feature. Then found out that I could use the ones I already had if they had aux ports. Long story short, so happy I brought it.

    Christmas present for my wife. She has a Bose Soundtouch that works and sounds good, but has very limited streaming support. Adding the Chromecast Audio completely eliminates this flaw.

    Expanding out my audio. Wanted to be able to group my audio in my house to the same control. Replacing out my BT Logitech devices as performance was spotty and unpredictable. Working great so far.
