I bought this product about a month ago. I already had made my review but it didn’t get posted. I emailed Best Buy to see why my post never went up and they never got back to me. So I’m going to try to recreate my previous post.
I hooked it up the day it was purchased. I used the directions and the hookup went smoothly. I turned everything on for the first time and it all worked. After getting it to work I decided to test it out.
During testing I noticed several problems: There was a delay in the sound to the wireless speakers, there was a faint noise coming from the speakers at all times, and worst of all it interfered with my wireless internet. The delay was minor and maybe not noticeable to some people but I detected it and knew it was there and that’s enough to bug me every time I watch a movie. Rocketfish knew this when they made the product, stating in the manual that there could be a delay in milliseconds. They also said that most receivers have something to correct this. Mine was able to compensate for some of the delay but not all of it. I wish this were something Rocketfish could of fixed on their end. As for the noise that comes from the rear speakers at all times. That isn’t too bad, when the system is turned off the sound goes away and the sound they make while on isn’t very noticeable. My biggest concern was that it would interfere with my wireless internet. At first I didn’t notice it was, but after using it for about 10-15 min my internet started to lock up. And fixing it was as simple as turning off the power to the sender or the receiver. Instantly my internet was restored. I’m not saying these results will occur in every situation just in the setup I have. I live in an apartment and my router is not far from where my sender is. Another small thing that bugged me was the red lights on both the sender and the receiving end of the wireless system. The wireless receiver was the bigger problem because the sender was hidden behind my stereo receiver. The wireless receiver would stay lit while in use, and when the sender is turned off it sets the receiver into an every things ok blinking mode aka stand by mode. Most users end up covering the lights with electrical tape.
I think these reviews are helpful in the purchasing process and both the good and the bad should be listed. I can’t remember the details I put into the first post but this is here to give you an idea of what to check for if your thinking about buying this product. Again your setup might be different and you may not have any trouble with your wireless internet not working.
What's great about it: Takes away wires.
What's not so great: Doesn't work with my wireless internet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
