This product is an excellent alternative to having to run wires to the rear speakers across the room from our DVD unit. I have had no problems with any hissing or pops from the unit (We operate 2 laptops, 2 cell phones, and a wireless router in the same room with this unit). It works well, as advertised. I have been very pleased with its performance. I would definitely recommend this product. The only thing take keeps me from rating it with 5 stars is that I would appreciate if the receiving end (the larger piece) was as small and discrete as the transmitting end (the smaller piece).

I recently purchased the Rocketfish transmitter / receiver system to create a wireless rear speaker network with my existing speakers. (Recent renovations made wire placement difficult.) I also purchased the Acoustic Research Wireless Speakers (900 MHz) to use in a second room. Both wireless products are excellent, with no contamination from my wireless internet, four cordless phones, wine refrigerator, or other devices. Each piece was easy to set up and the results are exactly what I hoped for. The Rocketfish system is perfect for someone who has a decent set of rear satellite speakers and who doesn't want to run wires from an audio device to these rear satellites. Great job, Rocketfish.

This product is worth the money. I considered the around the wall wiring...too many little holes (for the staples) then I considered under the carpet...very timeconsuming and a lot of problems can occur. Then I researched this product and found that it may "hum" and I got discouraged but read of a simple fix to the "hum" if it occurred. So I bought the kit. It is very nice. Everything you need comes with the kit. I set it up and it sounded great. The receiver part has an amplifier and the rear speakers get a little extra kick from that which helps. Then I shut my home theater off and got the dreaded "hum"....went and purchased two 1 Watt 100 Ohm resistors and bridged the red/back for each speaker on the sender unit....problem solved! Highly recommend this product just do little research if you have the "hum." Dont give up on them because they are great!

My friend picked up this system a few days before I did and seemed pleased with his purchase. Not recognizing the name brand, I did a little research online and found all but one review to be very positive about this product (the one negative one is listed here on the Best Buy site). I purchased the product the next day and found it to be easy to hook up. I turned it on and everthing "linked up" as advertised and the speakers were working just fine. I had to go into my home theater setup and boost the power to the speakers, but after I did that the sound was great. I have not had any of the problems with a hum coming from the speakers when my home theater system is off (as some reviews mentioned). The only reason I didn't give this product five stars is because you do have to manually turn the system on and off. Honestly though, it's a small annoyance. The product works great for both music and movies and is a steal at $99.99. When it comes down to it, the performance of the system far outweighs having to switch it on and off by hand.

When I moved to my new house I did not set up my surround sound because my living room wasn't set up well to run wires all over. So I went four LONG months using the speakers from my tv as my only sound source. (I had to play the Halo 3 Beta without surround sound.) I considered buying a new surround sound package from Sony that had wireless rear speakers, or buying a Bose surround system then purchasing their optional wireless receiver that can be connected to the rear speakers but I really wanted to keep the current Klipsch speakers I already had and this product lets me do that. Now I can enjoy all of my Xbox 360 games and DVDs in surround sound without having a mess of wires running across my living room. I've had the Rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit now for 4 weeks and I can't tell any difference in the sound quality from when I had the speakers wired to my receiver, to now with them being wireless. I would highly recommend this product to anyone and now I can't wait to hear how Halo 3 will sound in 5.1 Dolby Digital.

Since I have my own speakers, I wanted a wireless system that didn't come prebuilt with speakers. The Rocketfish is the second wireless type system I have purchased. With the first wireless system (not the Rocketfish) I spent about 4 hours just trying to get some sound beyond 5 feet. It was of such poor quality that I returned it the next day. I was wary about buying another wireless speaker system, but the features of the Rocketfish were great, so I decided to try it out from Best Buy. I was extremely pleased by the quality construction of the Rocket Fish. It was very easy to setup (just plug in input and output speaker wires) and it had great sound 3 rooms away from the sender unit. The receiver unit (the larger part) even has a volume control knob. By the way, the speaker input is left and right channel, so you can use the Rocketfish to broadcast any channel instead of just surround sound.

Imagine this...a product that does what it should do for a fair price. Best buy has a real winner here. If it broke tomorrow I would buy another one! No hum with my unit purchased 10/4/07. My room is 30 ft in length and the sound is great with no interference or noise.
What's great about it: works very well, great value, no hum,cd quality sound
What's not so great: minor point...manuel power switch

I had not been able to setup my rear speakers since moving into a home with a huge living room. I've been looking for a wireless solution for the back part of the room, and HERE IT IS! Extremely simple to setup and it works. The sound is fabulous!
