What's great about it: It's wireless
What's not so great: Volume
We got these wireless speakers to use in our travel trailer with the t.v. The volume on the t.v. is not very loud, especially when the a.c. is running. My husband is hard of hearing, so watching t.v., with the a.c., is a silent movie for him. Unfortunately, even when he has them right next to him, he still has a hard time hearing them when there is other noise. I wish we could turn the volume up higher than it goes.....it seems to be very limited, so I'm not sure they would be very beneficial to normal-hearing people if they were set up several feet away.

What's not so great: Could not get ANY volume---tried 2 sets!!
I thought the 1st set might be defective, so took them back and got another set. The speakers I got for my computer were MUCH better than these. You couldn't get enough volume out of them to tell you had any extra speakers at all!!!!!!!

What's great about it: Good sound and easy set up. It just works.
What's not so great: Nothing
These wireless speakers were exactly what I was looking for. The sound was surprisingly rich and the wireless set up was a snap. The PC and mobile apps were a nice surprise too. It appears that adding extra speakers is easy and the apps allow you to go from separate to party mode remotely.

What's great about it: Wireless worked
What's not so great: Wires between the speakers limit placement
Returned the product after trying them out. Worked fine but I really only needed 1 small speaker to stream sound from TV to bathroom. These speakers were larger than desired but could have lived with it if they did not need to be attached to each other by wires that were hard-wired into each speaker. I could imagine a wire getiing broken and the speaker could no longer be used. Wireless means no wires. BestBuy(Rocketfish) needs to do some research to learn what consumers want..

These are great for anyone who wants to hear a TV without having to blast it across the room. The setup was simple, works great, and allows for the audiable challenged persons to adjust sound to fit their living space with ease.

What's great about it: Price; solved the problem.
The salesperson pointed out these speakers, on sale. We had two competing televisions in adjoining rooms; turn up the volume on one, then the other got turned up. Set up these speakers towards the back of one room, and no further problem. You can't even hear the TV in the other room.

Review 11 for Rocketfish™ Rocketboost Wireless Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)
Perfect for what I needed
Customer Rating

What's great about it: I can hear my shows without blasting the tv!
What's not so great: Cord connecting the 2 speakers to each other is too short
I needed an affordable way to help me hear my recorded shows over the noise of the elliptical machine while I exercise. PERFECT! I do have to put them at almost the highest volume for this, but at this reasonable price I didn't expect them to be much louder. Now I don't have to blast the tv volume from other side of the room (which drove my husband crazy). I use them every time I watch this tv, everything just sounds better. They fit nicely on the nightstand. They are wireless from the tv, but the two speakers are wired to each other with a permanent cord. The only drawback is the cord connecting the two speakers isn't long enough to reach to the other side of a king bed. I need about 3 more feet to put one on the other nightstand. Some might find it inconvenient to turn on/off each time you use, but I don't think hitting one more button is a big deal.

What's great about it: Sound quality, range; no "pops" when silent.
What's not so great: Volume control difficult to modulate; can't transmit two program sources with two transmitters.
I purchased a pair to replace some old analog wireless speakers that were driving me mad with "pops" and "snaps" and other noises. The digital speakers I bought are beautifully silent in between uses, even if I don't turn them off. So happy was I with the first pair that I went right out and purchased a second pair. And this is where the caveat comes in: I was hoping to use the transmitter that came with the second pair to transmit a second program stream to both pairs of speakers; but alas, I need to use this as a pass-through dedicated only to the second pair. Otherwise, range is perfectly satisfactory, sound quality is remarkable for such small boxes. Volume control is a bit tetchy and difficult to modulate, but doable. I'd buy another set in a trice.

What's not so great: struggels with XM Satilite Radio
Very good sound, good design for me. great shipping and got here in expected time. The only complaint I have is with XM Satilite Radio, the speakers do interfier with the Satilite radio Waves. I had to run a long wire and drill a hole in the wall and put the transmitter for the speakers in the lvg rm. after I figured that out every thing works good now. My wife loves them.

Review 18 for Rocketfish™ Rocketboost Wireless Bookshelf Speakers (Pair)
Not really wireless.
Customer Rating

What's great about it: No wires from receiver to rear...
What's not so great: Wires between rear speakers...
The speakers have a wire between them. I wanted to use these for surround speakers when my old bookshelf speakers went out. I was looking to get rid of the wires. I already own the Rocketfish wireless set up for rear speakers (which has a receiver that you run speaker cable out to both speakers) so, I returned these and bought new bookshelf speakers. I did not set them up, so I can't vouch for these speakers. They might be fine if you don't mind the wire.

What's great about it: Portability, small, lightweight, attractive, sound quality
What's not so great: Can't think of anything.
I previously owned a pair of wireless speakers that were at least 10 yrs old but when they were lost in a fire I found these to replace them. I love being able to have music throughout the house. These speakers sound great and are much more streamlined and lighter in weight. Plus they managed to connect them to one small plug instead of the huge clunky individual plugs for the old set. Great sounds!

What's not so great: Fixed wired distance between speakers
I live in a condo and needed to get the stereo and tv sound to the back side of my living room without the abitlity to run wires. Setup was easy and performance has been good. Occasionally sound will cut out but only for a second or two. Sound qualtity is decent and unit has performed well. Only complaint is that the hard wired connection between the two wireless speakers is fixed. Long enough to place them about six feet apart which works for my room but might not for other applications. Would be nice to have a longer and detachable connection.
