Audioengine AW1 Wireless Adapter Review

Before I share my thoughts, I want to emphasize that I'm not only commenting on the product itself, but also on the Amazon partner that sold it and the manufacturer of the product as well.
I placed the order with Amazon. OneCall was the Amazon partner to actually fill the order. The product arrived well in advance of the advertised date. Due to other conflicts in my schedule, it sat on my desk for about 2 weeks before I had a chance to even look at it. Regretfully, when I initially set it up, it did NOT work....I am relatively saavy with respect to computer trouble-shooting and was able to conclusively determine that the sending and receiving units were NOT able to see one another. All of the other aspects of set-up were fine...computer saw the USB sender device, patch cords allowed me to connect the USB receiver device to my 20-year old Sony stereo receiver (red/white RCA inputs).
I initially attempted to contact the manufacturer, AudioEngine, over the July 4th weekend. Duh.....stupid move, of course, on my part. Never-the-less, I also contacted OneCall after the July 4th weekend to explore their return options. For the record, they were more than eager and ready to accommodate my return for credit or a replacement unit. That being the case, I indicated I wanted to give AudioEngine a chance to reply to my contacts to them. The next day, I received an e-mail from AudioEngine support verifying my situation and affirming that I probably did have a defective sender or receiver in the package I received from OnceCall. (Oh well, as the expression goes, S%$# HAPPENS.) AudioEngine, ON THE SPOT, IN THE FIRST E-MAIL to me, indicated that they would be sending a replacement unit.....no questions asked. The replacement unit arrived via FedEx two days later....along with instructions and an RMA# for returning the defective unit directly to AudioEngine.
FOR ALL WHO READ THIS, PLEASE HEAR ME LOUD AND CLEAR, ONECALL AND AUDIO-ENGINE WERE POSITIVELY AWESOME IN THEIR RESPONSE (Just read some other product reviews here on Amazon to realize that this isn't always the case.)
I AM VERY PLEASED TO WRAP UP MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS PRODUCT BY STATING THAT THEAUDIOENGINE W1 PREMIUM WIRELESS AUDIO ADAPTER WORKS LIKE A CHARM.....EXACTLY AS ADVERTISED BY AMAZON, ONECALL, AND AUDIOENGINE. I might add that I live in a home that is about 80 years old and, that being the case, the walls and ceilings are all plaster and steel mesh (not chicken wire or wood) lathe.....all that steel lathe holding the plaster to my walls has given some wireless routers I've tried a run for their money. Not sure why....but absolutely NO ISSUES here with that this time.
Anyway, I must concur with and support the highest praise of the 9 other reviewers of this product. I know individual experiences and situations will always exist, but this unit worked "plug & play" and exceeded what I would have expected based upon my experiences with other "wireless audio" products.
A+++ to Amazon.....OneCall....and AudioEngine for service, support and product! Praise earned....Praise due.....Praise given!
(By the way, I am a professional musician, performer and educator....music is my life and listening to it almost 24/7 is a part of that life.)

Universal Wireless Sender/Receiver Review

Universal Wireless Sender/Receiver
Average Reviews:

I've been looking for a way to play music throughout my home, garage and patio. I used to listen to my favorite classical FM stations on cable, and it worked well; but when cable went digital it required a cable demodulator/channel-selector box at each device and there was different lag at each box, so the sound wasn't cohesive.
Now, I've installed three of these Universal Wireless Sender/Recevers and I am VERY PLEASED!! ;-)
Let me clarify some details in the Product Description... this device has a remote control, and the remote does have volume buttons, but the remote is RocketFish's generic remote, also use for receivers, and the volume control works for the receivers, this unit has line output only. And I think that the line output is a good thing. It sort of normalizes the output, so there is no power bias towards the high frequency end of the spectrum -- I plugged this into the aux port my 30 year old Sansui receiver and turned the tuner's selector knob from phono to aux and didn't have to adjust anything else. The frequency response was fabulous!
- also, the Product Description says a 6' 3.5mm-to-stereo cable is included, but it is actually 6" long - the 6" 2RCA/stereo adapter plugs onto the end of the 6' cable to go from the wireless sender/receiver to the stereo tuner/amplifier. Works perfectly.
I've got my computer in the den sending music to the stereo in the living room and the home theater system in the family room. Nice!
The included literature says "Up to 9 rooms of audio entertainment," and the remote has a channel selector, so I think that it is possible to have more than one transmitter in the group of 9 transmitter/receivers. Possibly could have the computer in the den playing iTunes, the home theater system in the family room playing the kids' favorite movie and a football game on the TV in the garage, each one connected to one of these devices, and someone in their bedroom could choose which channel they want to listen to. Kind of mind boggling.
oh, as I write this, my wife came home. She, too is pleasantly surprised. Loves having soft classical music playing throughout the house.
Enjoy!

Jensen Matrix Wireless Internet Audio Transmitter Review

Jensen Matrix Wireless Internet Audio Transmitter
Average Reviews:

This product is a good starting point for those wanting to hear MP3 sound on there stereos without rearranging their house. I used this device from 15 ft to about 75 feet away and the sound remained the same even through a wall. I also was able to play sound from my study to my neighbors stereo approx. 150 ft away through concrete. The sound was not degraded. However, when I say the sound was not degraded that does not mean it was "normal". Due to the wireless technology the product sounds like you are listening to the radio. If you happen to get the perfect setting going though this is hardly noticable and you will enjoy it for a long time. It is the only one of it's kind (from what I have found) and beats buying a bulky stereo component for around $... or more. This product is a perfect buy and gets 4 stars only because of its lack of a power switch and fragile-thin RCA cables. Email me for more info.

Royal Machines 29297W WES 600 Wireless Stereo Speaker System Review

Royal Machines 29297W WES 600 Wireless Stereo Speaker System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My hearing is getting bad and to avoid turning the volume up substantially on my TV set, I wanted to place speakers closer to our sitting stations. Plus, the speakers on the TV leave a lot to be desired anyway.
Initially I was very pleased for ease of hook up, sound etc. However, for the speakers to work as desired, the control volume needed to be turned up to max. volume. In this range the speakers had a distinct background sound (unsure how to describe). I guess this is typical of low wattage speakers when running at max. volume.
They in fact improved the sound volume but the background sound/feedback was more than what we expected. Its not like there not tolerable, to others, this may-not be an issue.
The price is reasonable for the speakers, their size leaves a small footprint and are nice looking for the price. All the necessary accessories/hardware is include to connect (except batteries), each speaker has its own power cord included. I used a separate remote control to power off the speakers rather than to turn off each speaker on/off switch, which are small and difficult to see (on the speaker side).
I didn't want to go the surround-sound route, however I may do so. Debating at this time, if I should return the merchandise.

Aerielle i2i Wireless Digital Audio Device for iPod and MP3 Players (Black) Review

This product is useful to listen to streaming audio off the computer but the batteries are UNREPLACEABLE and only lasted 1 year with moderate use. The only option is to buy new ones when the batteries quit on you, what kind of a music device is that, RIDICULOUS and disingenuous, I emailed the company before I bought them and was told don't worry they'll last years, well they didn't. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me, I learn the first time and I will not replace them.
