Verified Purchase:Yes
pro:
good for multi-speaker synchronization
casting easy to use
works okay for primary purpose

works okay for primary purpose
cons:
does not have bluetooth --- meaning will not work with music that don't support google cast (except android)
for music streaming with android, the packet loss ( from interference) is much worse than bluetooth. I believe this is due the inherent design of WiFI vs. bluetooth (more resistant to interference). However, this makes music streaming, even with android, pretty useless.
when trying to streaming audio of a video, there is always a delay, unlike with bluetooth
the above mentioned flaws makes this device extremely limited in usage scenarios -- i.e. if you only want to listen to music with google-cast only app, then it's okay. if you don't need multi-speaker synchronization, don't get this device.
