I bought this to create Wifi speakers out of my old iPod doc speakers using the aux cable. It took a little while to figure out setup, but after I figured it out, it works fine. Only 4 stars since it is difficult to create a multi speaker network from your iphone compared to chromecast audio. It is easy from your laptop.

Current Apple Airport utility doesn't support these old AirPort Express devices so you need to source an airport utility app patch or have access to an apple machine with the compatible Airport Utility. I was looking to replace a failed unit and find that it's still a good way to get a mini RCA output connection out of AirPlay to my kitchen stereo. Because this device needs old apple network software to make it work I suspect there's a possible security risk to your wireless network. Users should carefully consider if this is the best choice for their purpose.

I live the compact size which makes it easy to take with you when you travel. I also love the features like being able to stream music from your pc or mac to it with speakers or stereo connected to it! I do recommend however that you splurge for the stereo connection kit for better sound quality. You can also connect a printer to it so that you can print wirelessly as well. What I didn't like, was that it was easy to set up when you create a separate network with it but when you try to connect it to the network you already have in place it's pretty hard for your average joe. I got several error messages when trying to play music through the connected stereo. Once I reset the unit then created a separate network it was as easy as pie and no problems what so ever. Once you have one and its set up you can by more and place them in all the rooms in your house and control them all with your mac or pc. It's a must buy for those considering buying one of those Sonos systems or anything similar. It's cheaper.Read full review
This is the old "wall wart" version of the Airport Express. (The current form factor recently changed to a hockey puck shape). I already own a solid wireless router, the Apple Airport Extreme. The reason I purchased the Express is to use AirPlay (formerly referred to as AirTunes) so I can stream music from iTunes on my Mac and the Music app on my iPhone 4S to my stereo. It works pretty well, but the sound does drop out occasionally. I believe this happens because the Express is in my basement which does not get very good WiFi reception since my Extreme is upstairs on the other side of the house. But overall I'm very happy with the device. I don't use the Express as a router to create its own network. I also added an Ethernet cable to the LAN port and connected it to my HDTV, which is internet capable but doesn't have WiFi. You need to use Apple's free Airport Utility software to configure the device. You can download it from Apple for free if its not already installed on your Mac or PC. I set up the Express to "join a network" and connected it to my stereo using a 3.5mm to 2 X RCA jack. Pretty easy to set up.Read full review
While an older product, it is great for my use case as airplay speakers. It is compact, plugging directly into an outlet. Setup is easy, and now i can choose various speakers throughout my home. For this purpose the price is quite good, especially compared with the more expensive later models. Be careful to avoid the previous model, A1084, as you will not be able to set it up with current versions of airport utility. Some disreputable sellers may misrepresent the model number and not show it in the pictures.
