    I love these wireless speakers! I live in a 1010 square foot city apartment and wanted wireless speakers for my bedroom to pick up the sound system from my living room. I didn't want to be drilling holes and dealing with wiring.

    These speakers are perfect for that. I took them out of the box and set them up in no time flat, and I am NOT a teckie! It was SO simple to tune them into the main system.

    Whoever complained here about the blue light bothering him while trying to sleep must be an awfully sensitive sleeper. And, if the blue light bothers you, all you have to do is push the button and turn the speakers off. DUH!

    These speakers are exactly what I was looking for, and I think they are great.
    Good sound, too. Nice and smoothe.

    I would definitely reccomend them.

    By John from Undisclosed on 8/15/2006

    The sound is ok but my experience using the speakers was not good. The speakers don?t automatically lock onto a signal like they are supposed to do. The controls don?t work very well. When trying to adjust the volume, you trip the signal search circuit. The volume control knobs have no mark on them so it is difficult to set them equally. Turning off the speakers takes 3 seconds each. That?s a long time when you need to mute the speakers for a phone call. When the speakers are close together (three feet), they cross-talk or warble. The ?on? lights are bright blue and keep you awake at night. Nearly every time I move the speakers to a new location, I have to change the channel and retune.

    By Leonel G from Undisclosed on 7/24/2006

    Easy to hook up and sound is quite good - however, at the loudest setting, they are still a bit weak. For the price, tho, you can't beat it for a quick way to get sound on the patio while keeping the A/C in the house!

    By Dana G from Undisclosed on 2/12/2005

    I was warned by local vendors that wireless speakers were a poor product as technology had not caught up with todays expectations. These speakers exceeded my expectations. They are easy to install and I have little or no interference that impacts performance. I just have to find a source for rechargeable C Cell batteries, they are not easily found. I would gladly reccommend this system to anyone who has issues with re-wiring a house for sound.

    By Richard S from Undisclosed on 10/25/2004

    Product functioned right out of the box. On a scale of 1-10, rate sound quality a 5. Sound is heavy bass dominated. Product has no bass/treble controls. Was unable to position speakers more than one room away or on the deck without large background hiss. Unplugged phone etc. but to no avail. Product brochure contained no suggestions to improve sound quality.
