| This rugged outdoor speaker is perfect for listening to ball games while I'm working in my garage or for background music when I'm on the deck enjoying the pool/hot tub. The neighbors surely appreciate that I don't have to open my window and crank my stereo to get the sound to carry outside anymore. I love the fact that the wireless speaker stops the sound from coming out the main speakers, as the other reviewer points out. I find it to be an advantage, not everyone in the house wants to hear play-by-play sports commentary. Also, if you spend a couple bucks at the local Radio Shack, you could most likely get an adapter to jack into the stereo's speaker output. That is, if you're trying to add speakers to you system, rather than transmitting the signal to this wireless speaker, (which is how the product is designed to work). The setup is a cinch, I was out the box and rolling in 5 minutes flat. The auto tuner and frequency lock are great features; they really take care of the static, (900Mhz is a heavily used frequency). If these feature don't get rid of the static, completely, moving the transmitter around will. The sound quality is fair, but not astonishing. I optimized the sound quality by playing a bit with the levels on the stereo, transmitter, and the speaker itself and I'm quite satisfied with the results. Powering the speakers by batteries makes this speaker really versatile, but if your parties frequently last till three in the morning you can always plug the speaker directly into the wall, (take the batteries out first though, unless they're rechargeable). I'm thinking of adding another speaker to my arsenal, this spring, so I can party to omni directional sound in stereo. |
Excellent outdoor option

| Sound great for outdoor patio/balcony use, or other smaller areas. Easiest to use and work best if your stereo has a second line out. Also, if you plan to use these completely cordless, you'll probably want to invest in rechargeable batteries (speakers can recharge them, battery replacement requires a screw driver). Don't forget the cost of the batteries - good batteries can cost more than the speakers! |
great buy

| This works great for me. I use it to listen to computer radio when I am out back (75 feet away) in my garage. the sound is really good, even though it is just mono. I had originally thought I would buy a second speaker if it worked for me, but the sound is good enough as it is. |
I'm very happy with the speaker and the service. Thank you!

Happy with the speaker, it works like it's supposed to. But when it's left on batteries it will make weird noises once in a while. I guess something sets it off and it makes a static noises. Not too often.

| My wife is hearing impaired so she had always had the T.V. turned-up so loud it is worrisome to me. She found wireless earphones uncomfortable so we purchased this wirelees speaker system as a substitute. It works perfectly for our needs as she can move it closer to her ear wherever she is located in the T.V. room. It is light weight and easily moved from room to room whenever we chose to do so. The sound quality is excellent,thus serving our needs perfectly in every way. |
Great speakers for outdoor, wireless and great sound!

| I have used two as stereo speakers (one right and one left) on my deck several times this summer. They have great sound quality and range for such a reasonable price. I have also purchased C size NiMH Rechargeable batteries with 5000 mAh. They have played for three hours before I shut them off without recharge. Amazing! You plug the AC adapted in and they recharge automatically. The instructions don't address recharge time so I charged for 8 hours. I am very pleased. |
