Overall, I can't hate on the product. For 100 bucks you get to have your rear speakers be wireless. Only major issues I have had with it is that it caused interference with my WiFi and that it died after about 2 years of use. With that said, I will probably go in an buy it all over again, considering I haven't found something equally priced from a different brand.
What's great about it: Works as advertised. Easy to setup. No major issues once connected.
What's not so great: Caused interference with WiFi. Died after about 2 years of use.

I'm not a super crazy audiophile, but when a friend gave me his old onkyo stereo system, I learned to appreciate surround sound. Unfortunately, unless your house comes pre-wired, the fact is if you want rear speakers, there will be some cable running around the place.
I didn't want that, and I'm willing to accept a slight loss of quality in sound. As a result, I watched this unit at best buy and when someone returned a system, I bought the open box version for a discount.
Frankly, the system works, and if that's really all you care about, then that's pretty much all you need to know. It requires a power socket, and you will have some piggybacking devices on your receiver, but ultimately, when I watch movies on blu ray or on Netflix, I get good quality surround sound. I don't hear any static, and I run it right beside my current wireless n router, but I'm certain someone who REALLY REALLY cares will notice some audio issue. I don't, and I'm pretty happy with the system. I would definitely recommend the setup especially if you see an open box.
What's great about it: Incredibly easy to set up...and it works
What's not so great: Kind of expensive, difficult to hide.

I really enjoy not having to find a way to run/hide wires to my rear speakers because in my townhouse its nearly impossible. It also allows you to adjust the volume of the rear speakers separate from the rest. In this respect, its great. However, its not perfect. Out of the box I had a bit of a delay between the front speakers and rear, to be expected with wireless speakers and was able to resolve by tweaking my surround sound. Also, the device(s) cut out once in a while for about 2-5 seconds and there will be no sound then just comes back. I also have experienced a static pop from the speakers that never happened before using this product. Can't rule out my home network I guess, though the box says it should have no affect. All in all, I still enjoy it.
What's great about it: Great for cable cutters, easy to use/set-up
What's not so great: Sound quality (good not great, latency, sound drops, static pop)

Does just what you want it to do - puts your rear surrounds in the right spot without running speaker wire around the living room. My only criticism is that the $99 price point feels a lot better for this product. It's just a little overpriced.
What's great about it: Always on, performs flawlessly

Wanted to enjoy the benefit of nice quality rear speakers but did not want any wires running from front of room to back. This system solved the problem and delivers GREAT sound. Setup was a snap and I found the ability to adjust rear speaker settings on Rocketfish a real plus when combined with our Onkyo Receiver. Nice quality, easy to use, and good price = GREAT VALUE. Highly recommend...you'll be amazed!

I used this in my home theater for the rear speakers. It works well and sounds relatively good. It is also a big plus to not have to run speaker wire through the walls in the house we rent. The only downside is the power cord was frayed in the first one we bought. Simple hassle free exchange got us one with out that issue.
What's great about it: Easy to set up and works as advertised
What's not so great: Power cord was frayed out of the box.

Purchased the system after doing alot of research. Had everything set up within an hour and the audio/clarity was amazing. Would recommend adjusting settings of rear speakers on the receiver, as playing with settings made audio much better.
What's great about it: Easy Set up and reasonably priced
What's not so great: Cheap speaker wire enclosed in package
