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.

    Very Happy with BestBuy. As always BestBuy has the product and service that I need. I use to go to Fry's Electronics, but now Bestbuy is 10 times better.

    I have three of these now set up throughout the house and love them. Whole home audio with all of my Google Homes tied in as well. Genius product.

    Is ok But my only concern it's that it doesn't have Bluetooth so you get to use only few apps and worse Spotify you can use it only if you have premium . If you are a google play fan it's for you

    This is a great, inexpensive option for turning old already existing speakers into a synchronized home surround sound system for entertaining.

    I got this as a gift for my father - he thinks it's a great way to use Spotify on his older (well loved) speakers, instead of his (less loved) Bluetooth speaker.

    Chromecast Audio is compact and connects easily to audio equipment. I used an adapter to connect via RCA plugs. Wi-Fi streaming is reliable.

    This is relatively easy to set up within the Google Home app. If there is a problem, sometimes deleting the group and redoing the group is best. Rename each room.

    These work well and with 3 of them in my home, not have a pretty cheap "whole house" music system by hooking them up to various sound systems and speakers.

    Its a top of the line audio receiver, the only thing i wish it has integrated with is the ability to stream bluetooth to it instead of having to rely on an active internet connection

    Unfortunate Google pulled the plug on these, but the concept was good. There is a spot for this in the market.

    This works great if you are trying to stream to an older device that doesn't have wifi streaming but has an auxiliary port. Works better for Android devices

    Chromecast are the piece of tech you didn't know you wanted until you but one. Plus it in to any speaker with an audio jack and you have a "smart" speaker.

    This allows me to play music from my Google Home on my wired Bose unit in my living room. A great alternative to update an old speaker system that predates streaming music.

    Much rather use this to hook up to my home audio equipment than Bluetooth. Just wish you could stream audio from the Chromecast or YouTube audio.
