I am using 6 of these in a work enviroment 100' X 250'. The only time I have any trouble is when the reciver isnt tuned in very well. I have the farthest speaker at 200' away from the radio. I am looking to buy another set.
What's great about it: easy to install, works and sounds good for the price.
What's not so great: finish of the speaker and shape, tronger cord on the plug in supply
I would recommend this to a friend!

This product is perfect for added surround sound but mainly our use was for hearing challenged family.
My father is hearing impaired but my mother isnt. We got these for them and they love it. My dad can put his speaker up so he can hear and my mom can actually turn hers down or off and hear just fine. Because of this, my In-Laws bought a pair as well. The fact that it is wireless makes it very easy to set up. Even though possible, both houses have wireless phones and cellular phones an have had no issues with interference.
Great purchase.
What's great about it: Easy to setup, great quality sound, no wires
What's not so great: could interfere with some wireless phones

My one warning to anyone who is thinking about buying these is to be sure that whatever you are plugging them in to has a audio output BESIDES the headphones. If you plug them into the headphone jack, you will only have sound from the wireless speakers rather than having the wireless speakers as additional sound. I was initially under the impression that these would hook up to my audio system receiever like any other speaker: wrong. They hook into an "audio out" or the headphone jack. I had to plug mine into the "VCR audio out" to get them to work in addtion to having the rest of the speakers on.
Also, the speakers can definitely give a bit of popping and static. I was actually thinking about returning them because it was quite annoying until I moved the transmitter about 6 inches. I had it hidden between the back of the tv and the wall and was getting lots of static. By moving it just 6 inches out and putting it on the edge of the entertainment set-up, 99% of the popping and static was eliminated. So I would recommend moving things around a bit if you have any static or popping to see what you can get.
What's great about it: Easy to set up, good sound, good price
What's not so great: Range is not fantastic
I would recommend this to a friend!

very nice to hear the tv in any location without "blasting" the neighbors or others in the house. Also very nice if one person is hearing impaired. would be nice with a remote but then you couldn't adjust just one. i had a set, same brand for several years about the same price and was pleased with those also until one's control had to be "giggled" sometimes or it was mute. think the bass was better on the older model but am still happy for the price.
What's great about it: separate volume controls
What's not so great: reacts to 5.8 wireless phone sometimes
I would recommend this to a friend!

I only needed speakers for my HDTV near my (noisy) treadmill so I can hear while running (headsets cause me to overheat). This set fits that bill, but I have the speakers 6 feet away from the transmitter in direct line of sight. As soon as I start moving 30 feet away, I start to get the static bursts that other people have commented on. And, as others have said, the on/off and volume control is a hassle. Sound is merely OK, but I am listing to CNN not Beethoven ...
What's great about it: Inexpensive
What's not so great: Combined on/off and volume
I would recommend this to a friend!

I got these for Christmas and now I'm trying to figure out how to tell my husband that we need to return them. The sound quality is poor at best. To turn on the speakers I must use two hands to turn them on as one to hold the speaker and one to turn the knob. And even then, the switch is hard to turn. We have tried several places to place the speakers but we get a hum and static noise like a very old transistor radio. If I could give them a no star I would have.
Give this item a pass
What's great about it: wireless
What's not so great: difficult on/off switch
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We purchased these speakers to extend our speaker system throughout our home and front porch. The setup was very simple and the speakers were working and sounding great within 10 minutes. Each speaker does take 4 D batteries so, that is an extra expense, but we have had the speakers about 1 year and still have not changed the batteries. We have one speaker on our front porch and the other in our master bedroom, but they can easily be moved to wherever you would like to put to enjoy the sound. I am probably going to get a pair for my parents as well.
What's great about it: Speakers are great in and outdoors with little or no worries.
What's not so great: Some minimal cracks or pops if over the designated range.

Loved it. Little by little the sending unit (with the antenna) starting cutting out. A thump would restore it. Not any more. It died. Why can't I replace just IT?? Must I buy the whole dang set (speakers and all, just to overcome a very inexpensive-to-make sending unit?? I guess so.
What's great about it: Great quality of sound; easy to set up
What's not so great: My sending unit quit, too.

I had no problems for the first couple of weeks. I experienced little to no distortion. The speakers are ready to use out of the box: just plug in the speakers, plug in the transmitter and you are ready to go.
I don't really like how I have to use the volume knob to turn on the speakers. Just a personal gripe, I guess.
The only problem I had is when the transmitter died. To be entirely fair, solid-state electronics either burn out immediately or last forever. I could have just received a bad transmitter. It happens.
What's great about it: good sound quality, minimal set-up
What's not so great: power switch is on the same knob as volume, volume is independent of source
I would recommend this to a friend!

Needed to add sound to the rear of our training room, for PC presentations. These speakers worked great.
I needed a Y-cable to allow front and rear speakers to connect to notebooks.

First the speakers either plug in with a huge, clunky adapter or you can opt for several "D" batteries which you'll need to replace every few hours or so. The sound quality is reminicent of a soup can attached to a string. There is so much distortion and outside sound that unless your tolerance for such is very high you'll never listen to them again. You would be better off putting another stereo system in every room than use this piece of garbage.
What's great about it: Not many
What's not so great: Everything
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you want wireless speakers, this is not a bad product. However, the consistent pops of static can be quite annoying. Additionally, at times the speakers will cut out to silence. The sound comes right back, but again, quite annoying. Other than that, I like that I can use it with my stereo and my computer and that I don't have wires all over the place. When the sound does come through without static, they sound pretty good.
What's great about it: Wireless, sound is good when it's there, good range, can use with any system (i.e. tv, computer, stereo, etc).
What's not so great: Static, cuts in and out
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I set up the speakers today and am thrilled with their quality. They sound great and they were so easy to set up!
I plugged them into my computer upstairs so that I can listen to my itunes downstairs. The only thing I didn't foresee was that once they are plugged into my computer, my computer's speakers are no longer plugged in, so I had to leave one of the RCA speakers upstairs so I could still have sound on my computer. That's no big deal though.... Plus, I'm going to stop by and pick up another pair tomorrow anyway so that I can put sound in my basement too. I love how you can plug in as many as you want all over the house and they all work from the single transmitter.
I can't believe I waited so long to get these... I only got them today and I already feel like I can't live without them - hahaha :-)
I would recommend this to a friend!

I thought this product was pretty good for the money. I bought 3 and used them for a summer party and had 2 sets inside the house and one on the deck. I played the same source of music through them all and it was just like having a whole house system for a fraction of the cost and without the complicated wires. They did pop a few times and had a little static but not a big deal for me. I used the power supply for them all which is a great included option because I question the duration of the battery option.

I bought these to get sound from our receiver out to our garage and they work great. I personally have them plugged in because there is electrical available, but see they take batteries, too. Why did I pick these (because they were on sale, they were the cheapest available and they fit the bill). Installation (a snap...plugged it into Zone 3 on my receiver, plugged them into the walls in my garage, hung them on the peg board and we are done). My husband and his friends play poker out there and it works perfectly for that. Being on the receiver, they can listen to the radio or TV audio which is perfect for the sporting events they normally listen to. I have also used them while I'm working in the front yard. Great sound and very easy to use.

I was kind of leary about wireless speakers. I figured their would be lots of static and low end sound. However I was very surprised to see how well these speakers worked.
Pros:
Both battery and ac adapter.
Great signal strength
Great price for 2 speakers
Nice full sound.
Cons:
The only thing I dont like is that the volume is independant of the tv. And it just maybe how I have it set up. Each speaker has its own volume control. Great for setting it up, bad for when the phone rings and you have the tv cranked for a movie or ball game.
Overall: Definate recommend if you were looking for wireless speakers. Great price, great sound.
