This wireless speaker kit does not work! I returned two of them! I called Rocket Fish after the first one and they said I must have bad unit so I tried again with same result on 2nd one! This technology does not work. I even turned off all wireless devices in room to exclude interference and still nothing. Transmitter and receiver had blue light lit but no sound. The units were literally 11' apart from each other. I even changed wires, checked connections and hooked up speakers directly to the receiver - they worked fine. I wouldn't consider myself an expert with electronics but I am highly affluent and I'm telling you this system does not work! I'm going back to the wired method under the carpet for rear speakers!

Not so good

on April 4, 2015

Posted by: Elion

Although the wireless aspect works ok, the clips for the speaker wires on both transmitter and receiver are cheap and come apart quite easily. Once when trying to reassemble a clip on the transmitter, the spring went into the box, rendering the system useless.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

If you don’t hear audio from the rear speakers

on November 9, 2015

Posted by: brian424

After reading several reviews, I had mixed feelings. It seemed that several people complained about no audio from the rear speakers when everything was connected correctly…. I have to admit that I also had this problem when I first connected my rear speakers to the RocketFish Receiver.
The solution was simple; I had reversed the Sender and the Receiver boxes. In my defense, the drawing in the directions show the two boxes as the same size. And neither box is labeled.
So, the most important thing to remember is that the smaller box is the “Sender” and the larger box is the “Receiver”.
Once everything was connected properly, the audio from the rear speakers was just as good as a wired connection.
For $99, this is well worth the money.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great bang for the buck!

For a wireless system, I was very impressed. The sound quality is very good and there is very little lag at all. Virtually unnoticeable.

That being said, at anything over 50% volume on the receiver box, there is a very obvious white noise coming from the rear speakers. You probably won't hear it if you're watching a movie though.

To fix the above issue, simply increase the volume of your main audio receiver on the rear channels and then turn DOWN the Rocketfish receiver until you've balanced out the sound. This will *almost* eliminate all of the white noise.

I'm also having a slight problem with speaker cut outs when the Rocketfish receiver is not in line of sight (most likely due to interference).

I would still recommend this device for the price!

Great product for not having to run wire

on December 10, 2015

Posted by: DC97Cobra

Living in an apartment can make things difficult for those of us that enjoy surround sound, especially when it comes to running wires! Being a techy and understanding wireless technology, I was a little skeptical as to what interference this system might create and the possible degradation to audio quality. To say the least, I am very pleased with what this product offers. For what I was looking for, it has surpassed my expectations and am looking forward to adding a third kit for outside audio!

To give you some background, I am using an Onkyo HT-S6300 7.1 surround sound receiver that can actually function as a 7.1 system with 2 more speakers set as a second zone(audio in another room) or as a 9.1 surround sound system.

The issue that I have is that I need to provide audio to 4 surround speakers while not having to run wires across a floor. Two of these kits provided me with the solution as I used one kit for Surround Left and Surround Back Left and another for Surround Right and Surround Back Right. Both work great together without any interference and helped resolve my issue with cable running.

Next step is to get a third kit and use it for running audio into the kitchen or bedroom by connecting it to Zone 2 on the receiver. This will allow me to watch TV while letting the wife listen to music in the other room.

I would recommend this to a friend!

Great option for rear speakers

on February 23, 2016

Posted by: SkiDude

Verified Purchase:Yes

I did not want to try running speaker wires to the rear speakers as the living room set up was not really set up for that. Researched options, and the BB customer service rep suggested this unit. It still needs to be plugged into a power source, but it works great and I did not need to figure out how to hide 15 feet of speaker wires. It is easy to install. Very happy with the choice to go with this option.

It works good

It does the trick. The only feature I would have like added to this is automatic shut off when you turn off your stereo. Since it doesn't have one it either needs to stay on 24/7 (which will make the shelf life on this shorter) or every night you will need to manually switch off the one connected to the receiver and the one connected to the wireless speakers. If your ok with this then I recommend.
