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.

    This is my third Chrome Audio...it makes it so easy to have music throughout the house or in just certain rooms. The app is extremely well designed.

    Google and apple products tend to not play well with each other. It was a challenge finding apple apps to work with this. 5 stars likely if you have a samsung/android tablet.

    Plays music or anything audio anywhere on almost any device with a aux plug. Only thing I don't like is it needs a power outlet. It's not portable.

    These just work great! I highly recommend them. I wish google home has aux outputs, because it doesn't you must use these or connect via bluetooth.

    This is great if you want to convert older speakers into bluetooth capable speakers. Only downside is that is has to stay plugged in to work.

    Has some limitations. For example you can really use your iPhone and stream YouTube videos. It's best to download 3rd party apps to get. But for what it does it works well.

    bought this to stabilize static from TV to speaker adapter. Works well. Haven't figured out how to turn on 2 of these devices on at the same time, using 1 phone.
