If your speakers are old, there’s no need to be jealous of your Sonos-wielding mates. Google’s Chromecast Audio is the answer – and it’s cheaper than ever.
The Chromecast Audio has been discounted to just £15 – that’s a saving of 50%. You can snag the deal over at Currys PC World, which beats the Google Store price of £30.

The Google Chromecast Audio turns almost any speaker into a smart sound system. Plugging it in via a 3.5mm audio jack lets you cast music to the speaker using your phone, streaming the audio over Wi-Fi.
With multiple Chromecast Audio devices you can even create a multiroom sound system that works like a Sonos multiroom system.
Don’t let the Google branding fool you either; the Chromecast Audio is compatible with iOS, Windows, OS X and, of course, Android.
In our review, the Google Chromecast Audio scored 8/10. We praised the device for its easy setup process, compatibility with a wide range of speakers, simple app, and strong third-party service support.
