Then Sonos changed - I don’t trust that new products won’t become “bricks” like the old products did. The Sonos app does not allow the same user experience as directly using an app like YouTube music - just being able to cast directly to a Sonos speaker would be nice - and we used to be able to do that. Really there are not enough inputs either. I use a Optical connection to my sound bar, or a 3.5mm to a play five. I have an OLD audio Chromecast - its the only way to really have Sonos work with google. Also Chromecast built-in can be use from Apple devices, instead Airplay only from Apple devices, so it can be a good things for the two ecosystem, Google and Apple. In fact Chromecast built-in for an Android user can be easy to use like Airplay for an Apple user. Other features are a copy of functionality that can you can also do with the Sonos app, but some of these feature also can be more easy to reach with Chromecast built-in, in particular for an Android user like me. For do an example, the Gym app support Chromecast speakers for remote training, and if you have an iPhone obviously also Airplay, but for an Android user is impossible to connect that app to a Sonos speaker without Bluetooth. ![]() Some apps, in particular local app with a small percentage of users in the world, that support Google Cast but obviously doesn't support the Sonos Ecosystem. In fact with Chromecast compatible devices when a device is casting content on all Android devices connect to the home wifi appear a notification for control the media of that device and also this is possible in the Google Home app.Īnother thing is cast audio from Google Chrome browser, Google TV, Android device audio ecc…Īnd at the end the aggregation of speakers and TV that have Chromecast built-in, for have the same media in more rooms. What do you want to do that you currently cannot do without Chromecast? ![]() An understandable request, and well expressed, but the request has been made many times on here and Sonos haven't done this yet. But we appreciate that in the future these awesome speakers, that are probably the best in their category, will have the Chromecast built-in feature, so we can buy product that also came without Bluetooth. So, we decide that for now Sonos for us it can be only the Sonos Move or the Sonos Roam that have also the Bluetooth, because we need it for limiting the lack of the Chromecast built-in functionality. ![]() ![]() Also Chromecast built-in have plenty of integration with some services that made things really easy. In fact the Chromecast built-in feature is a great opportunity for Sonos, we think, because in this way Sonos Speakers can appear in Media controls of Google Home and so can be controlled by all the people that live in the house. We bought a Sonos Move for have a portable speaker with a gorgeous sound, and I can confirm that it have, but we hear the lack of the Google Chromecast built-in integration. Personally all my family have an Android device, like Google Pixels, and all the house have integration with Google Assistant and Google Home. I live in Italy and here Android users are much more that the Android users that are in the USA…
