Saitek A-250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First the limitations: You cannot get sound out of both your desktop speakers and the A-250 at the same time, and the wireless connection is only about 85% reliable, even within its advertised range of 30 meters. Sound cuts out if there are too many thick walls between the transmitter and the speakers. Also, other electronics, microwaves, and my 2.5 GHz cordless telephones can interfere with the signal to the A-250.
If you can tolerate these limitations, then you can consider the great pleasures of the A-250:
-- Easy set-up. It honestly took me three minutes to get sound from my XP system using RealPlayer to the A-250. You plug in the transmitter to a USB port, press the blue button on top of the transmitter for two seconds, put batteries into the speaker unit, and then turn it on.
-- Very good sound. For a wireless system, the A-250 produces very good, albeit not very loud, sound. When the signal is strong, the sound is better than FM though not as good as wired, of course.
-- Simple controls. From the A-250 you can pause, play, skip a track forwards or backwards, and control the volume.
-- Works with my Palm Zire71. Saitek includes a 3.5mm jack, which when plugged into my Palm, played sound well through the A-250.
-- Fast support. I emailed Saitek regarding the limitations, and someone wrote back within a day to tell me that the limitations are not surmountable.
Summary: If you don't mind playing sound only out of the A-250 in a different room with few walls between it and your system, and if you don't mind imperfect sound, then the A-250 is for you. I will keep mine, since I can tolerate these limitations and I love my music on the deck and in the kitchen.

Sony SRS-BTM30 Bluetooth Wireless Speaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these speakers after much reading on Amazon and other places. The average rating here on Amazon for these was among the highest.
I received them and was very excited to start listening to "better sounding" music than what I was getting out of my 5-year old, $25 "no name" (non Bluetooth) speakers.
I can live with the size, though they are bulkier than I would prefer. First time pairing my Blackberry Tour worked as described in the manual.
Unfortunately subsequent pairing is a manual process. Every other Bluetooth device I have is immediately detected by my Blackberry for pairing when I turn the Bluetooth device on. Not so with the Sony speakers. I have to turn the speakers on, then manually go into my Bluetooth settings on the Blackberry and select the Sony speakers to manually connect. Since a large part of why I bought these speakers was convenience, this is definitely an issue for me. I was anticipating turning the Sony speakers on and having automatic pairing with my Blackberry.
And then the music started playing. The proprietary Bass Boost these speakers have is horrible. It's way too much and what's worse is there is no way to turn it off on the speakers. The suggestion for compensating for the lousy Bass Boost in the manual is to alter the settings of your player on your MP3 device. I don't think this is an acceptable "fix". On my Blackberry, in order to get anything remotely pleasing to the ear, I have to choose a setting of "reduced bass". But when I pair my Blackberry with any other music streaming device the sound quality is lousy because of the setting and I have to go in and change it. Additionally, for programs like Slacker Radio, there isn't even an option for changing the settings on the Blackberry so I'm stuck with full-throttle, lousy, proprietary Bass Boost.
If there had been an option built into the speakers to turn this off I would be giving this product 4 stars. And if the speakers automatically paired when in proximity and turned on, I would have given them 5 stars.
The volume isn't anything to write home about but then again I wasn't expecting that from speakers this size. They are adequate for in house use (my kitchen) or sitting on the back deck. I don't know that they would fit the bill for a decent sized cookout but haven't tried so don't know for sure.
If I didn't already have another set of portable speakers to compare with, I probably would have been pleased with these. But my no-name, $25 speakers actually sound better, are more portable and have a "3D" sound effect that can be turned on and off on the speakers themselves, and the "3D" sound effect actually greatly improves the quality of the music without me having to change settings on my Blackberry.
I'll be returning these and trying another product...most likely the Altec Lansing. They were the first speakers that caught my eye so hopefully they'll be more in line with my expectations.
As one last note, I am not an audiophile by any stretch...I don't consider myself to be overly picky with the quality of my music. I do think I have a "sensitive" ear when it comes to bass, however. I don't mind "natural" bass in my music, but enhanced bass is not for me.

Weather-Resistant Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Speaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Excellent outdoor speaker from Brookstone albeit on the pricey side. The setup was fast - take out of the box and plug one of the three cables into the MP3 player, boombox, radio, or TV. It took less than 5 minutes. The antenna comes with 3 channels for fail proof connection. The quality of the sound is excellent for an outdoor speaker. The bass can be turned on and off. Instead of plugging the speaker into the wall it can be powered by batteries. Can withstand the heat in the desert which is a big plus here in Arizona. The blue light is a head turner. Ergonomic design. Enjoy!

RCA WSP155 - Wireless speaker system Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have these set up in my apartment where the base is plugged into my receiver in the living room and then I have one speaker mounted in the bathroom and the other in the bedroom so I can listen to my morning show no matter where I am without having to turn up my surround sound system and annoying my neighbors. The speaker come with their own AC adapters or you can use 4 D batteries and make them truly wireless. They each have their own power and volume buttons, so you can play one and not the other if you want. Very cool.

Audio Unlimited 900MHz Wireless Rock Speaker System (SPK-ROCK) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I rate the speaker a 5 because it's better than most wireless out there. I bought this speaker with no reviews but the other audio unlimited 2 speaker with remote rated high with same transmitter and components except it looks like a rock which is kinda cool. I wanted one speaker not two.
1. this speaker has great bass and sound sounds like a big boombox
2. it does transmit to 150 feet
3. I plugged this in on a shelf in a closet where a stereo is located in a furnace room. The signal had to go threw the furnace threw the wall down a hall threw another wall and another 100 feet where I sat it on a table and it worked. This was done in a rental hall and then and only then did it have an occasional quick static but still was good. All through my house threw 3 floors whatever its flawless. I sat it in my basement and i could feel the bass thumping from upstairs.
4. I've done research a lot of these speakers rate low and they don't last and they aren't real strong this baby actually pumps out 100 watts look at their website for specs. I made the right choice it works as advertized.

Sony SRS RF930RK - Wireless speaker system Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I did read other reviews before I purchased. Like other mentioned, it will turn itself off after about 3-4 minutes after a popping noise, if there is no audio source input. You can plug your MP3 player directly to speaker as well. I don't have any problem to hook it up with 3 audio sources: one from my PC, one from my MP3 palyer, and one from my cellphone. I listen my music any where within my house (about 150 feets) without any problem. If I take it over 150 feets, there is a hissing sound. I give it 4 stars for this reason. Buy it if you love to listsen your music in bathroom, backyard, and basement... as I do.
Sound is good quality.Can't beat the price, either... Since my music library is on my pc, it just made sense to use the pc as the source.

Acoustic Research AW-811 Indoor/Outdoor Wireless Speaker (single) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's not pretty. The sound is not great. But it does what I wanted it to: gets sound from my living room receiver into the kitchen.
Setup is very easy. Everything you could need to connect is included. The unit tunes automatically so there is no fussing with a tuning knob. The auto-tuning is quick and effective.
As promised, the transmitter is compatible with my AW-721 cordless headphones. I now have both transmitters connected to my receiver. (It doesn't seem to help with static but why not.)
In general the signal seems to come through with little interference. The sound is slightly distorted, something I had noticed with the headphones also. It is also overall somewhat tinny. It is hard to say whether that is from the transmission or the just all-right speaker.
One nice feature they don't advertise: if you buy the eight (!) C batteries needed to make this truly portable, you can charge them in the unit. (If you buy NiCad or NiMH batteries- try www.thomas-distributing.com)
Apparently, Acoustic Research and Advent are the same manufacturer.

For excellent omnidirectional outdoor stereo sound without messy wires, the Acoustic Research AW-811 single speaker provides patented 900 MHz wireless technology, which lets your signal transmit through walls, floors and ceilings at distances of up to 300 ft. (depending on source) inside your house or outside with no line of sight required between the speaker and transmitter. Plus, you can put the speaker wherever you like; its water-resistant design lets the AW-811 thrive outdoors and indoors, and in humid areas such as kitchens and baths. Plus the speaker will tune to the transmitter automatically, at the touch of a button. Since this comes as a single speaker, you can adjust sound with the stereo/mono switch to optimize the sound of the digital amplifier (second speakers, required for stereo sound, are sold separately). Controls include one easy to use knob for the 3-in-1 power, tuning, and volume control, and a channel select switch that lets you change transmission frequencies to operate more than one 900 MHz product within the same area. To help eliminate extra noise, the speaker comes with a RF noise reduction system. This speaker is also designed to be moved; there's a built-in folding handle, a non-skid surface (so you can use it as a tabletop), and it runs on either 8 C batteries (not included) or an AC adaptor. The batteries self-charge when the unit is plugged in. You can even take the speaker inside and use it with any RCA-compatible device, such as your TV, DVD player, A/V receiver, VCR, portable CD player, computer, and more.

Bose SL2 wireless surround link - Wireless audio delivery system for rear speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently moved to a new house, and didn't want to drill holes in the walls or floor to get the wires to the back of the room. I was somewhat skeptical about this product and concerned with sound quality. However, I'm happy to say there is absolutely no difference between using the SL2 and hard wiring the rear speakers!
a) The system is made up of two receivers. They are both very small, and are easily concealable.
b) The front receiver plugs into the base module with 2 wires (left & right speaker wires)
c) The rear speakers plug into the rear receiver.
d) Installation complete!
This is an excellent product and I highly recommend it to all.

Sony ALTUS ALT-SA32PC - Wireless PC multimedia speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall, the reason I bought this set was because I was drawn in by the wireless feature of this system. It ultimately delivers on this aspect, but the product does have some shortcomings. Here are some pros and cons
PROS
- GREAT price offered on Amazon(one of the biggest pros...I think if you buy it from [...] Buy it is probably $250.
- The wireless speakers are pretty attractive and have a nice sleek, polished look
- Relatively easy to set up - if you just want to play from your PC directly
- Wireless signal is great; I put one upstairs in my room and there was no interference
CONS
- speaker quality is mediocre; namely, the bass power on these guys is weak - but it is expected. However, as long as your house isn't too large, the sound should travel well enough
- In order to play your iTunes playlists directly off the components themselves, need to spend some time setting up the system. Even when you do, the interface isn't really isn't as straightforward to use as I would have liked.
- Power outlets for each speaker unit are pretty large (minor)
Overall, decent product, but definitely not perfect; you get what you pay for!

Klipsch LightSpeaker System 5.2.2 Wireless Sound and Efficient LED Lighting Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The first thing that struck me about this product is the quality of it's manufacture. These speakers were solid and well made. Below I will address the various information that is important to know.

PACKAGING AND INSTRUCTIONS:
As with any product what we first see is the packaging it comes in. This speaker system was no exception.
An expensive product, should be well packed and these speakers were in separate boxes within the main box, well cushioned. The various components were also well packed and obvious to find. The overall box when you open it, the first thing you see is the setup information. This card was the full length of the box and succinctly told you the steps you needed to complete installation. I thought this was all well done. Under that was the user's manual that if you had issues you could refer to.

INSTALLATION:
First of all you need to be sure you have the right spot to install these. They go into 5 or 6" recessed lighting tubes. The manufacturers provided two size flanges that could go on the end of the speaker/lights that would work with either of these sizes. One thing we found while installing these, is you could actually not get them properly seated in the light socket(not deep enough) and they would not work. It was the user's manual that alerted me to this and we resolved the issue. Another thing I found was, we could not use the metal arms spread out to stabilize the speaker in the recessed outlet, as the spread was too far. We had to keep them pulled in.

I liked the fact that the instructions warned me upfront that most recessed lighting fixtures had adjustable depths. I didn't know that. In telling me that I knew enough to adjust them and that is what took to get the speakers installed deep enough. You have to finesse this a bit and get the proper mix of deep enough while holding the flange flush to the ceiling and properly engaged to work. It took us about an hour to get both speakers properly installed. It was somewhat fatiguing as these speaker/lights have some heft to them. But, not a major problem.

Once installed properly the main unit quickly detected the speakers and they worked well. You can control the volume of the speakers and the brightness of the lights. You also have the abililty to choose two inputs. There is also a remote provided and this mimicked the controls on the base unit. Handy if you are not easily able to reach the base unit.

USAGE:
Once we had them up and synched to the base unit, everything worked fine. We are now planning on having these hook both to the radio as well as an ipod and you can do this as there are two inputs as well as the appropriate cables. I was pleased with the sound quality, but I'm no audiophile. Since the speakers were small and not only behind the lights but the light lens a more discerning listener might have concerns. I did not.

RANGE:
I have noticed that these speakers do not have much in the way of bass, so your music can sound a bit tinny. Not surprising due to their size.
OTHER POINTS:
Since we used these units in our kitchen on recessed lights over the countertop, which has 4 lights, in order to work you need to have that circuit on. This means the two lights that don't have the speakers in them need to be on all the time, that we use the speakers. The lights in the speakers can be turned off independently. At this time, I don't think that is a problem, as I kept the ones over the primary work area as non-speakered lights.

The speakers have convex covers on the LED light inside. This makes the light they shine down a bit different than the lights in the recesses. I find this light is more diffuse. Another reason why I did not put these lights over the primary work area. I would have to make it very bright to be the the most useful. The LED lights can get bright enough, but it seemed almost too bright in order to get the proper coverage. Too bad there was not a concave lens option for these speaker/lights to address this.

SUMMARY:
All in all we are pleased with this system. I will write more as we use it more.

KEF Universal Wireless System (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The technical specs on these are already available all over the place, so I won't repeat them here. Instead, I'll give a pro and con review:
Pro:
1) Size - There are three units and each is small enough not to be a big problem to hide.
2) Set up - There is really not much to do. I was up and running in under 10 minutes. The main part attaches to your receiver speaker terminals and an AC plug. The other ends attach to each speaker and to an AC adapter (each needs its own AC plug - three in all).
3) Audio quality - Both a plus and a minus. When it works, the audio is very clear and does not really sound any different than a wired system would. HOWEVER, see my comment under the con section.
Con:
1) Interference - My baby monitor interfears with this system. I know it says it does some fancy type of frequency jumping, but the Garco monitor creates interference if it is too close to the speaker ends of the system.
2) Audio quality - This is a high end (and very expensive) system. It figures that those purchasing it will have equally high end systems. Remember how much you paid for those high end amps? None of that power is used to power the remote speakers. Instead you have an overtaxed 50 watt (I think) amp on the speaker end. For 90% of surround applications this is probably fine, but real audio nerds will not be happy with the result. Of course, would an audio nerd really ever use a wireless system? The lack of amplifier power is even more apparent if you try to use this to power a second set of main speakers. Using a McIntosh amp and mid-range Boston Acoustics speakers (VS240) the clipping was evident.
3) Wires - It should be obvious that a trully wireless system is really impossible. Each unit has a speaker wire hook-up and a dedicated AC adapter (although they aren't the massive brick type.)
4) Auto power? - Just a note that these are always on. It would be nice if they could sense a signal and turn themselves on and off (standby). I have no idea how much power these draw when off, but I imagine it isn't much.
5) Price - At the price point these are placed, I'm just not sure they really are worth it. For the same amount of money (or less) you could probably have an electrician fish some speaker wires for you.

Kenwood RFU-6100 Wireless Module for Surround Speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this unit through Amazon, who actually just forwarded the order to Crutchfield. Still, very fast service and shipping was free.
I have experimented with other wireless solutions such as X10 and Advent. The big thing about this unit was the 50W X 2 amplifier built into the receiver. Other systems require you to provide amplification after the receiver to power the speakers.
OK, a quick breakdown:
Looks - Good enough. Not an issue for me. My transmitter and receiver are both hidden from sight. Silver might not fit your scheme.
Ease of Use - Good. Need to connect preconnected speaker wire from the Xmitter to my amp, and power. Receiver needs power and user supplied speaker wire. Then, if needed, adjust the channel 1-4 on both units to avoid local RF interference.
Functionality - Good enough. I use it for rear channel speakers that generally don't need much amplification. Also, I stopped being an audiophile years ago as my hearing degraded, so the audio quality is fine by me. In 5.1 DVD movie use it performs very well and provides the surround experience I want, without the wires I don't want.
Gotchas - Antenna placement is very important. The box claims 100 ft range, but doesn't specify signal quality at that distance. My units are about 14 ft apart, and the antennae must be at the same height to provide the best sound. No putting the transmitter on top of your stereo rack, and the receiver under the couch. That orientation provided lots of pops and clicks as my wife walked between the two units. Also, I wish both pieces were squared off and had wall mount holes. This would provide additional mounting options.
Overall - Works as advertised/expected. I'm happy with it. However, if you aren't as lazy as I am, run the wires through your walls for better sound.

Aurum Cables 3.5mm Car Stereo Auxiliary Male to Male (Aux-in) Input Cable (6ft.) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use these cables to connect my laptop to my TV's audio jack. In the past I had to use an extension on a pair of dirt cheap cables. Somehow the use of an extension worsened the already average quality of the audio and it sounded as if everything was coming out of a tin can. With these cables I really hear the audio as it was meant to be heard. Immediately the differences were very apparant.
I was listening to a Persian singer I quite enjoy called Farhad Mehrad and his gentle but giant voice has a booming bass to it. With the old cables I could hardly perceive the depth of his singing and it was as if I was listening to YouTube audio quality. These cables enhanced the nuances of his style so amazingly well. It felt as though he was in the room with me and I could feel his words hitting my lungs.
There is hardly any hint of distortion, though I do notice some slight hissing when I turn the volume on my TV to 60+. This most likely has nothing to do with the cables themselves because I do not notice the hissing when plugging this cable to the speakers for my Ipod and turning it to maximum volume. Other than that, the experience has been wonderful and it is well worth to pay a little more for the type of quality these cables deliver.

Advent AW810 900 MHz Wireless Indoor/Outdoor Speaker System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I love the digital music channels provided through my cable TV service, and I wanted to be able to listen to this music outside. I just got so sick of dragging the boom box outside during dinner parties or while gardening and then having to fuss with changing CDs--especially when I had great music playing inside the house.
The speaker has exceeded my expectations. If you read the directions carefully and follow them step-by-step, you'll have good sound outdoors, too. I was up and running with tunes oustide within ten minutes. I needed another five minutes to fine tune, which was easily accomplished by reading the instructions and the troubleshooting guide. (If you refuse to read instructions or to show a little patience, you get what you deserve.)
Contrary to what you may have read in other reviews, if the unit is set up correctly, the sound is NOT thin. The bass is substantial and even with the volume set to maximum, there is no distortion. I set up the speaker (loud!) and strolled my entire yard perimeter, as well as the far side of my neighbor's yard, and could hear everything perfectly. I used the cordless phone right next to the unit--no problem. The distance from my stereo to the backyard is the entire depth of the house--about 60 feet--with signal passing through several plaster and brick walls. I found that it's important to place the transmitter up as high as you can. That solved the few little sound problems I had at setup. What can I say? It sounds great and I love it.

Oregon Scientific WRS368 Music Sphere Wireless Speaker with Transmitter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have to say....I bought 2 of these on a whim in a recent sale.......
Suffice to say....I think these could be the MOST IMPRESSIVE Wireless Speakers I have ever owned.....and I've owned them all from 900mhz ones to fancy Sony 2.4ghz ones. All came with a downside of some sort whether it be Hiss, distortion, poor sound quality, low volume....etc. These have none of those problems
While 1st testing....I was blasting music on these.......1st in a bathroom.......Zero Hiss.........I was like "How loud can I make these baby go??" Suffice to say......very loud (you can definitely crank them up).....They have clear highs, and nice Bass and you can adjust the Treble and Bass.
Also...very simple setup....literally plug and play and it supports up to 3 different inputs.
I was absolutely amazed by the range of these.....as I was easily beyond 90+ Feet......I walked all over indoors with the remote speaker in my arm (it's not that heavy even with 6C Batteries).....I experienced Zero Distortion or dropouts with no Clicking (that I've experienced in other "wireless" speakers") and this was in fully obstructed 2-3 rooms away.
Throw in that the environment contains a wide variety of 2.4Ghz Wireless Products including: 8 set 2.8Ghz phone system, 802.11g Network with a D-Link Range Extender and 2 bridged Routers, Wireless HP Printers, XBOX 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, Wireless Bridge with VOIP Adapter.....etc.
Impressive.....Verrry impressive product. Glad I bought 2.....one for use on my deck....and one for use on patio at beach house.
I've seen wireless speakers almost 2 x the price that didn't perform nearly as well as these.
The styling is great and the only downside is that they aren't waterproof/weatherproof....then they'd be THE perfect wireless outdoor speaker. I'm still gonna give them 5 STARS because they beat all the other models I've ever tried my entire life.

Unleash the full potential of your iPod, portable MP3 player, CD player, or TV with the Music Sphere wireless speaker system. Consisting of a portable wireless speaker and a separate transmitter, the Music Sphere lets you listen to your favorite music in almost any room in the house regardless of where your audio source is located. The audio range extends to 100 feet, so you have plenty of location options, including on the back patio or in the garage. Or you can simply take the speaker to the other side of the room without worrying about cumbersome cables or a complicated setup. And thanks to the transmitter's sophisticated 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology and the speaker system's three-driver array (two tweeters and a subwoofer in a high-quality acoustic chamber), the audio comes through crystal clear, with no interference and a smooth, powerful sound.
In addition, the transmitter connects to as many as three independent audio sources at once. Want to listen to your iPod without disconnecting from the DVD player or the stereo amp? No problem, as the Music Sphere's two line-in jacks and RCA left/right input keep you fully connected. Even more impressively, the Music Sphere is equipped with remote "learning" and "repeat" functions. This lets you both control the speaker functions through a connected source's remote while also controlling the source itself through the speaker. In other words, you won't need to trudge across the house to increase the volume or skip tracks--just point the CD player's remote at the speaker and you're set.
Listeners will also appreciate the Music Sphere's adjustable bass and treble controls, along with the three-color LCD displaywith indicators for clock, volume, bass and treble levels, input selection, and battery levels. The display even changes color based on which source is currently playing. Additional features include a built-in clock, a wall-mount bracket for the speaker, and a total power output of 6 watts (1.5 watts x 2, plus 3-watt subwoofer).
The speaker, which measures 8 by 7.4 by 7.7 inches (W x H x D), runs for approximately five days on six C-size batteries (assuming around four hours of operation per day). The transmitter, meanwhile, checks in at 4.5 by 4.2 by 4.5 inches. The entire system is backed by a one-year warranty.
What's in the Box Wireless speaker, transmitter, two AC adapters (one each for speaker and transmitter), Y audio cable, wall-mount bracket, four screws, allen key, lint-free cloth, warranty card, quick-start guide, user's manual.

JBL Control 2.4G On Air Wireless Speaker System (Pair) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Here's the good news: The sound quality is nice. The frequency response seems very detailed, and these diminutive speakers pack more bass than looks would suggest. No complaints about the sound quality.
Here's the bad news: These speakers have MANY very serious flaws that make them unusable.
1) The speakers have a timeout mechanism - they go into a standby mode if the sound stops transmitting. That's fine, but the standby mode mechanism is very overeager: the speakers often enter standby if the music volume stops, or even if the volume just gets a little too quiet, for a short period of time - even as little as 5 seconds. So the speakers can go into standby even during a quiet section of otherwise loud music, and the wakeup process is not trivial: it may take 10 seconds or more to reacquire the signal once the music kicks in again. Worse, this quirk is hard-coded and not adjustable; you can't disable or adjust the standby mechanism.
In short, these $200+ speakers have a tendency to cut out the music for 25 seconds or more when it dips too low. That is a fatal flaw. And it's not the only one:
2) These speakers will SHUT DOWN your Wi-Fi network. I have a very recent 802.11g router (a Motorola SBG900), and when there's music streaming to the speakers, my bandwidth drops from a steady 200kbps to about 5kbps. Seriously. If I unplug the transmitters (which are 10' away from both the router and the receiving computer), my bandwidth comes to life; if I plug 'em in again, my bandwidth vanishes immediately. It's terrible.
3) JBL made some very strange choices with regard to the cabling. The cable from the right speaker to the left is about 25 feet long - a bizarrely long connection for such small speakers - and unless you want to splice it, you're going to have a rat's-nest tangle of excess cable hanging somewhere between or behind the speakers. Meanwhile, the power cable is only about 18" between the active speaker and the power brick; and the power cable coming out of the brick is only about 3' long. As a result, if you mount the speakers 6' high, you'll have a massive black brick with a glowing green LED dangling at about 3', and probably a hookup to a longer power cable about 1' off the floor. It's quite sad; JBL must not have tried to actually mount these speakers before they shipped 'em out.
4) Speaking of mounting: The speakers come with wall mounting brackets that look sturdy at first glance. However, the speakers are very boxy - about 5" deep - so they'll project noticeably from the wall. Much worse, the mounting bracket is very poorly designed. For example, the speakers mount on a ball-and-socket bolt that's *way* too long - you'll see an extra 1.5" inches of bolt projecting from the wall mounting, for no particular reason. (In fact, JBL doesn't seem to trust the integrity of the bracket; they include a camera-strap-like thing for fastening the speaker to the bracket, in case it fails. Creepy.)
5) Want to buy extra speakers and dial 'em in to the same channel? Of course you do; it's wireless, right? Well, not so fast. First, JBL won't sell you *just* the speakers, so you have to buy a whole 'nother set - including a second transmitter - at full price. Second, the wireless setup has a hard limit of two speaker sets per transmitter channel. I own three sets of these speakers, and only two connect to the transmitter at any one time. I don't know why; it's completely capricious, and it severely limits the extensibility of the system.
It's really tragic that JBL made such terrible ancillary choices, because the prime virtue of these speakers - the sound quality - is very nice. But the convenience and sound quality aren't worth the hassles... particularly at such a high price point.
Bottom line: Avoid. Avoid at all costs. These things are FATALLY flawed. JBL needs to recall them and fix them... and if they don't, I'm certainly never buying their equipment again.

Acoustic Research AW-871 Wireless Stereo Speakers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Even though my experience with wireless headphones were universally poor -- I once overheard my neighbor's cell phone conversation while listening on wireless headphones -- I was very impressed by the plentiful good reviews for this product and decided to give it a try at Amazon's wonderful low price. Amazon sells this product for up to $75 below the price stores ask.
However, once I got it home, hooked it up and turned on my stereo, my experiences with this set of wireless speakers was an exact replay of my expereince with wireless headphones. I set these up as the rear surround speakers in my living room as part of on my 5.1 system, fixing the speakers only about 25 feet from the transmitter. Even in that brief distance with almost no physical block between them, the left speaker consistently spit out static. The rightt speaker played fine all the time but had an annoying tendency to click while the music was turned off.
This is not what I had in mind for my home stereo! I moved the speakers around (as far as the power cords would go, anyway) and re-situated them, trying to gain greater proximity to the transmitter. This did nothing to improve matters. The transmitter indicated the signal was strong, yet that left speaker continued it staticky way throughout my experiment.
These speakers are easy to set up and easy to get working. You really don't need the instructions if you've had any experience with anything wireless. Still, I consulted the booklet to see if there was anything I was doing wrong. At one point I had the setting on both speakers at "right", so I changed that. No change in the outcome. I also re-set the transmitter from "1" to "2" and even to "3". No change. I moved the speakers again. No change. I consulted the booklet and listened again. Same thing.
Perhaps my experience has something to do with my neighborhood, my home or my neighbors, but my experience was not nearly as good as those reported elsewhere on this page. On the plus side, these speakers sound pretty good for something that barely costs $100 and they are easy to use.
They are portable and can be set up anywhere a power source is near or set up anywhere using battery power. The transmitter is supposed to be good up to 300 feet and I know the speakers in my house received the signal. I simply was not going to pay for a product that resulted in my SACD signal being converted to static.
While the sound the speakers produced was pretty good for something so inexpensive, I was not impressed with them as surround sound speakers. With independent volume controls, they seem like just another set of speakers to me. Compared to the sound I get from my wired surround speakers in another room from my front three speakers, these did not sound much like surround speakers regardless of the amnount of fiddling I did with the volumer controls and transmitter.
Even though this experiment was a failure at my house, I am grateful Amazon accepted my return; not every company on the Web will take back electronics. I wish you better luck with this product than I had.
