Exactly what I need...

Verified Purchase:Yes

This kit works great and was easy to set up. Plug in the transmitter to the receiver and the rear speakers to the receiver, turn them both on and you’re done.

I had the first version of the kit that came out 7-ish years ago that finally died, and I can say that improvements have been made. The syncing between the transmitter and receiver now happens automatically and the LED lights have been changed to a toned-down blue that is hardly noticeable.

I am using the kit to run the rear speakers in a 5.1 home-theater setup that include a Yamaha receiver, LG Blu-ray player, LG TV, DirecTV receiver that are ALL connected to my wireless network via Linksys e2500 router. I don’t have a cordless home phone, but do have three cell phones that are also connected to my wireless network. I have not had any problems with interference and all devices work as they should.

The connector clamps could be beefed up a bit – I had a problem with one popping off on the transmitter and had to exchange it for a new one. So take care connecting the wires. It would have been nice if the supplied wires for the transmitter were a little longer too for more flexibility in placement.

I have been using the kit for about 4 weeks and have had no problems. I will update my review as needed.

There may be more elegant solutions out there for wireless surround sound, but not at this price point.

What's great about it: No speaker wires to run

What's not so great: Speaker clamps could be better

I would recommend this to a friend!
