I'm not going to try to change your mind, but the chromecast audio was a great device that did exactly what it was meant for and nothing more. It didn't try to be a voice assistant, or control your lights, or pump ads in your face. It was also $35, which is pretty easy to throw away if and when it does get kill-switched by Google. When that happens I won't have to scrap my speakers and amp to chase the next streaming fad. If your crystal ball will choose the Sonos product that will still be supported in 10 years, then by all means go for it.
- givinguflac 7y agoYou still don’t get it. It has ALREADY been “kill switched by google” and won’t get updates. It’s not even for sale! Why is chrome cast audio existing in that state (functional, no new features coming) acceptable, but the identical scenario is atrocious in your mind for Sonos?
- creaturemachine 7y agoBecause it just works, and I'll continue to get every cent of that $35 out of it until I can no longer. But seriously, enjoy your Sonos.
- givinguflac 7y agoSonos just works too and I’ll get every cent out of it as well. You think it’s coincidence google sold a cutthroat priced knock off of stolen Sonos tech? It’s literally what Sonos complains about in their lawsuit. Enjoy your product as well
