Review: I have not been able to get a consistent lock between receiver and transmitter no matter what I tried. Perhaps it's local
interference, but the system is useless to me and is being shipped back. Based on what I've read and my experience, whether or not this system will work for you is a crap shoot. Even when it works, the sound quality is poor.I'm going for a cable connection between my PC and stereo. I know that will work and it will cost less.

Summary: It kind of worked...
Review: I installed this unit on my computer located on the second floor of my house. I installed the receiver on the first floor next to my stereo (~30 feet). I got the wireless link to work but it was full of static. I tried everything to lose the static (different channels, different locations) but no go. Definitely not for audiophiles.

Summary: Works great in my house in downtown Chicago
Review: I live in Chicago and have had problems in the past with wireless devices; esp. cordless telephones on both 900 mhz and 2.4 ghz which I could never get to work at my house due to interference. So I was VERY skeptical about the Soundlink. I bought it and I can say unconditionally that it is the best wireless product I have ever purchased. I have no problems with the sound quality or interference.

Summary: Does what it promises to do.
Review: I recently decided to convert my 300+ CDs to Windows Media format files so I could play them at work through my headphones. As I was recording them at home, I thought about how nice it would be if I could play my music through my home stereo. I then came across this product, which pretty much does the trick. It comes with two receiver type things that look like fat walkie-talkies. One of them plugs into your computer's audio-out jack. It also has an audio out jack so you can plug your existing computer speakers into it, which is nice. The other receiver goes next to your stereo receiver. You can then either plug it in using patch cords to an audio-in on your receiver, or tune your receiver to 88.1 or 88.3 and flip a switch to broadcast through FM. I personally, for some reason, get better sound in FM mode than through a direct connection, which I can't figure out. I would've thought it would've been the other way around. I have found that I have to switch the radio station it transmits on periodically for some reason. I have also found that when I first turn it on, sometimes the receivers have a hard time getting in sync with one another, so I just leave them on all the time. You have to adjust the volume knob on the receiver near your computer. If you have it too high, you will get distortion. Since these music files seem to record at different levels based on the source CD, I just leave it at a middle setting and use the volume on my receiver to make any necessary volume adjustments. I also am not thrilled that both receivers need to be plugged in. You can use batteries, but since it is all but necessary to leave them on all the time, batteries would be a waste. And they are those stupid big fat plugs that take up valuable space on your power strips. But what can you do. I guess this is the cost of listening to music from your computer. In summary, I think this audio system does well, and I would recommend it to others.

Summary: Good Quality/Value for the price
Review: I use it to play MP3's from my computer on a BOSE stereo in another room. I tried a 2.4Ghz system (LOLA) that had far too much static. It could be I overuse the 2.4Ghz but not 900mHz, but I've had no static issues. I have compared a CD on the Bose to the MP3 from the computer via a wireless link to the Bose and I can detect a slight difference in quality in side by side comparisons, but it is acceptable quality. It is obviously far superior to the computer's speakers, was easy to set up (never read the instructions), and gives me easy access to all my music.

Summary: Not worth your money
Review: I'm rather perplexed at all the positive reviews on this product. I hooked this up and tried all the settings to get it to sound good and it just doesn't work. You'll get better reception from an AM radio station than you do from one of these things. If your looking for something to connect your computer and all your .mp3 files to your stereo system, this isn't the device to do it with.

Summary: Superb; exceeds all my expectations
Review: I've been using this absolutely splendid device for a couple of weeks now and I still can't get over how well it works. I'm astonished at the clarity of the reception on my bedside radio - indeed all the radios I've used it with (and I'm not even using the direct-connect feature to wire the transmitter to the radio - I'm using what for want of a better term I'll call the "local wireless broadcast option" - placing the transmitter within ten feet of the radio you'll be using). The battery or mains power feature is ultra-convenient. One unit has to stay connected to your computer, but the unit that broadcasts to your radio works on both battery and mains power, which means you can take it with you and listen to your Internet feed on any radio in the house. This is the best performing piece of electronics I've bought in years, and at around $100 it's an absolute bargain. For all those British expats like myself who even after 24 years still miss Radio 4, this device can't be beat. Take your browser to the streaming feed on the Web, and listen in hi-fi in bed, in the shower, in the basement - anywhere. Outstanding.

Summary: Works Like a Charm
Review: I've just installed mine and am completely satisfied with the results. It works perfectly throughout a two-story house that's loaded with computer network, sound system, and ham radio wiring. Couldn't ask for more.

Summary: Poor quality product
Review: If you want to still have audible sound from your PC speakers,
do not buy this product. Although it works as advertised,
transmitting a (very weak) signal, it totally distorts the
sound that is transmitted from the output jack of the device
to the PC speakers. I'm returning mine, and buying some long
speaker cables instead, since distances involved are not
extensive.

Summary: Freedom at last to enjoy Internet audio away from computer
Review: If you would love to listen to your favorite Internet radio station in other parts of your house than the computer room, this is the perfect product. It is not expensive. It is easy to set up. And it works. We set the transmitter in the computer room and the receiver next to our stereo which is wired to speakers in almost every room in the house. It works great. Even if there is a station near you that is on one of the 2 frequencies the US Robotics system uses it will still work. One thing to be aware of is a button on the receiver that will search for a better 900 mhz channel in case you get interference. Sometimes it helps to move the radio dial a click or two or three away from the recommended frequemcy if you are real close to a station on one of the frequencies. If you are an audiophile looking for CD quality sound you might have a complaint with this product. But for the average person who wants to enjoy ordinary audio quality this is a great product.
