Fire stick vs chromecast ultra.
Chromecast ultra is a solid device if you want to use your phone as your only remote or you use google assistant.
The new chromecast ultra is 69 69 au 99 which puts it a little above the roku streaming stick which runs at 49 49 about au 62 and the amazon fire tv stick which will set you back.
Speech is clear and pretty detailed across both devices but while the chromecast has enough dynamism for a blockbuster soundtrack we did encounter the occasional lip sync issues.
