Rating: Summary: Great product ever!! Review: This product has excellent sound. I couldnt find a better set of wireless speakers. The distance you can move the speakers is awsome! I think everyone should own this product!
Rating: Summary: Just ok, not as good as expected. Review: To read the reviews from others on these speakers (huge speakers, btw) you'd think they were just like wired without the tiedowns. Maybe they are, but I live in a suburb neighborhood and my speakers pickup noise constantly. It's impossible to find a clear channel, they pick up various transmissions, and they're difficult to adjust frequencies with any certainty. First, lets take up the channel thing - I've run the dial (way to adjust the channel freq they use) back from one end to the other without finding a clear, static free channel. This is equally frustrating because you have to change the dial on the transmitter AND the receiver. This isnt good unless they're both side by side. If I had wanted side by side I'd have bought wired speakers. The best I could find was a channel with a low whine in the background. Next, lets talk about what the speakers receive. This is actually funny. We were listening to someone's vacuum cleaner for a while off their baby monitor, we got a long rather racy CB discussion, and we heard two of our neighbors chatting away on their wireless phones about their kids not getting along all the time. Hmph, I thought they played rather well with all the other kids... Lastly, the frequency issue. Freq. is adjusted via a little dial on the front of the speaker. There's one on each speaker and one on the transmitter. Now, the only way you know you have the right signal on reciever and transmitter is that the light on the speaker turns green. It doesnt matter if the freq is clear or full of static, if they're noticing each other it's green. Now, take my situation. We have the transmitter downstairs and the recievers (speakers) upstairs. Every time someone changes the channel on their phone or something affects quality, I'm mr. marathon man running up and down the stairs till I get both synced up and on a clear channel. This can take upwards of 30 mins. (turn dial downstairs, run upstairs and turn dial..check for static, repeat.) I'm sure I've lost about 5 lbs just for buying these with all the running. It seems like they could use a digital tuner or an "auto scan" mode for finding a clear freq. for this kind of money. (My auto radio is 250.00 and it has one!) Oh well, maybe in the next model. In short summary, they're probably ok if you live out where there's no interference, but for us suburbanites they're just barely functional in my opinion.
