Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the Chromecast Ultra's ease of use, excellent picture quality, and impressive 4K streaming capabilities. Many appreciate its straightforward setup and generally positive performance. However, some users mention the relatively high price point and the lack of a dedicated remote control as drawbacks. A few also noted occasional lag or heat issues.

    Don't have a 4K TV yet, but wanted this for ethernet capabilities. It's significantly faster than the last generation when hooked up to ethernet.

    This Chromecast is really good for 4K streaming. Works just like the original Chromecast, but with a much better picture on your 4K tv.

    Love this little unit! Have cast many films now from Xfinity, N'flix, PBS, Disney+ & youtube, to the TV with this via wifi! Love it. Really great quality. (Hot tip: During set up, the Chromecast ID will show on the TV screen, which you then confirm on your device!) Did find this helpful in setting up w/ my iPhone: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/2998456 Especially the interactive guide screens! :D Totally satisfied with it.

    Due to the pandemic, we've been watching a lot more streaming. Some of our local independent movie theaters use services that don't have apps for our Roku. Therefore, I purchased this device so I can purchase a movie from our Mac, and then cast it to Chromecast for viewing on our TV. Works perfectly! Setup was quite easy, and elegant in an Apple sort of way. This is the first Google device I've bought, so I didn't know what to expect.

    Bought this because my old Chromecast was starting to have problems casting Netflix from my phone. This newer, updated version is SO much faster and does not have any issues casting from my phone anymore. So glad I bought it!

    Streaming Audio

    The Google Chromecast audio media streamer provides a convenient method of connecting existing audio systems with a single, shared source of streaming audio. The set up app for the device is Google Home and the process is both simple and easy to follow and comprehensive in terms of device control. The Chromecast audio streamer in conjunction with Google Home app directs an audio stream to one or several (a "group") designated audio "speakers" (where a speaker is self-powered or by powered by an audio system with amplifier). The output of the Chromecast audio streamer is a 3.5 mm headphone jack. This allows the use of the provided 3.5 mm cable or an optical cable (3.5 mm to TOSLINK) to an amplifier with optical input. We use four of the Chromecast audio streamers to direct streamed audio to one or more of four disparate audio systems in our house. For our purposes, there is little downside to the Chromecast audio streamers (in conjunction with Google Home) and we regret that Google has discontinued the device. We were pleased to find the Chromecast audio streamer on ebay. The Chromecast audio streamer is not for those who want total control of speakers or distributed audio systems throughout a house or other setting, including the ability to turn on/off or adjust volume/muting of individual speakers or audio systems. The better known Chromecast device with HDMI output connection is great for amplifiers with an HDMI input but not useful for older amps designed more for 2-channel audio and without and HDMI input.

    Really simple to use, same as the non-Ultra 4K variant. But, it will need to be plugged into an electric outlet.
