Summary: Great wireless speakers at a reasonable price
Review: Bought my speakers a couple of weeks ago and had no problem setting them up. Sound reproduction is good and have had no interference whatsoever with my wireless phone (also 900 Mhz). Real test was one week ago when I had a party and used them with 4D batteries each. Played all night long and all my guests were impressed by their performance. I would certainly recommend this product.

Review: Couldnt get a good signal. One worked better than the other. I finally gave up when they both started hissing.

Summary: Works, but hard to get a good signal
Review: Got them working. Sound is OK, but there is some intermittent static. the signal sometimes fades (which leads to losing sound and gaining static). Bad part is the "tuner." You essentially turn a rotary dial on the transmitter to transmit to a certain channel (although you never know which one, just turn til something works). After tuning the transmitter you have to tune the receiving speakers as well which has a similar rotary knob. If you can't get a good, steady signal you just play with the knobs until something works. Can be very time consuming and may not work for everybody depending on the electronics in your house and what your house is made from (might interfere with the signal). Also, what works for one speaker (knob location wise) might not work with the other speaker. I got the first speaker to tune in almost perfectly about 5 seconds after turning it on. 10 minutes later i'm still working on getting the second speaker to get as good of a signal.
It would have been MUCH better if you could just select something like chanel 1 through 11 via something that "clicks" so you know you are exactly on the right channel and dont have to mess with 3 different knobs to get all 3 pieces of hardware to work together.
I gave the product 2 stars instead of more because of the difficulties in getting a good, strong, steady signal that didn't break up. If the signal had been steady I would have given the product a good 4 stars because the sound is quite acceptable (if you can get it tuned in well).

Summary: RCA WSP150 900 MHz Wireless Speakers
Review: I bought a pair of the speakers but could not get the transmitter to power up. Suspecting a bad connector, I returned the set to Radio Shack. I tried all possible combinations with 2 transmitters and 2 power supplies, but could not get either transmitter to sustain power. Seems like poor quality control to me. The Radio Shack salesperson admitted that they never got them to work in the store.

Summary: Must have received a bad batch
Review: I bought a pair of these speakers at Home Depot and the transmitter was problematic. It would turn on when first plugged in, then die about a minute later. Returned to store and got another pair with same results. Returned again and tried the third pair at the store. Three strikes, they're out! Probably just a bad batch with the same problem for all.

Summary: Kept losing signal
Review: I bought these speakers for a new home theater system so I wouldn't have to string cable all over my room for the surround speakers. When playing an "active" movie (i.e., lots of action) they worked great. When the action died down and there was only talking or no talking, the speakers would lose their signal and got loud static. Once the movie returned to louder activities, the signal popped in again.OK for music, but not as good for home theater since sound levels do not remain constant.

Summary: Good if your expectations aren't too high
Review: I bought these speakers to allow me to listen to streaming online radio and music (including MP3) away from the computer like in the bathroom and kitchen. For music, they are not great. If I turn on the bass boost, they buzz and rattle, if I turn it off, the sound is thin. They work great for talk-type programs, though. I bought refurbished ones, so for the price, not a bad deal. I would not want to pay full price for these, however.

Summary: Medium success
Review: I bought these to use as rear channel surround speakers after reading the positive and negative customer reviews. The biggest caveat I have is that I expected traditional speaker wire connections and found, upon opening the box, the connection is either through the headphone jack or via RCA connectors (red/white). Neither option provides the channel separation for them to be used as I intended. They are easy to install, but we have a 900MHz cordless phone and a baby monitor and there are static bursts that pop into the speakers intermittently. When dialed in, they provide decent sound for the money. We're going to hang on to them and try them out on the deck next summer.

Summary: Pretty Good Speakers
Review: I got these for Christmas one year and had a really difficult getting good sound out of them. I wanted to use them for my PC to play music around the house. At first I would get very soft sound and sometimes no sound at all. I shelved them for a while and then decided to try them on my PC again with a Soundblaster 16 sound card. Excellent sound. These speakers are not for the impatient person. I do have the transmitter sitting on the top floor on a high shelf so that it can get go transmission. The transmitter can not be surrounded by anything. I can get a good 100 ft out of the speakers. Then I start losing signal. There are times that I get a beeping sound of them. For some reason that does subside. I do recommend them for the price. Beware it might take some time to find the right niche for them.
