I have purchased a number of wireless speaker systems (such as EOS) EOS 100T1R Wireless Audio System with Universal iPod Docking Base and Remote Speaker (White). The Sound quality was modest, and, they were tempermental as far as setup.

This system, however, at a more economical price, provides a good to very good sound quality combined with flexibiity, ease of use, and, ease of setup.

When this arrived, I dredded having to "assemble" it, and, set it up. My fears were unfounded. Right out of the box, I just plugged in the speakers, used the RCA jack to receive auxilliary output from my computer's sub-woofer speaker back Logitech G51 Surround Sound 5.1 Speaker System (Black) , plugged the 3.5 mm jack into the small transmitter, and, started playing music through the remote speakers. My idea of easy setup is being able to get something to work, the way I want it to work, without having to look at the manual. This has easy setup by my toughest definition of "easy."

There is an "auto-tune" button on these so that once you plug them in, they will automatically tune into the transmitter. You don't have to go through a complicated "tuning" ceremony like many wi fi speaker systems require.

Since the transmitter will plug directly into the RCA outputs from my computer, instead of having to have an iPod adapter, I can just use iTunes directly on my computer to have virtually the same access to my music library as if I was playing from my iPod.

In addition, I could plug the transmitter into my streaming HP media extender HP X280N MediaSmart Connect and play music directly from my backup server from Windows media player playlists.

The range is good as I can place the speakers out by my spa in the woods and they receive broadcasts from the transmitter with little interference.

One other advantage to this system is that the transmitter is not coded to any particular speaker. Once you set up the very simple and inconspicuous transmitter, you can have an unlimited number of the speakers tune into the broadcast frequency.

Why Pink? I support breast cancer awareness. I also like the pink for the hot tub as it tends to provide a little color during snowstorms in the winter. This is also a great color for speakers in my guest rooms for lady friends. And, I like pink!

So now you know!

I was very surprised that these wireless speakers worked so well. Being a long time "wired" guy, I felt that wireless speakers wouldn't transmit well and would give poor quality sound. My opinion has changed. While it's not Bose like quality, it's not intended to be. It's meant to be portable. The range is exceptional as I have these speakers in my bedroom on the second floor while the receiver is on the first floor next to my computer. Great product. My mind has changed about wireless speakers!

I found the product to be very good except I didn't realize it was going to be PINK. When I ordered them, they showed black on the computer, but they will work.

Great price on these which were replacing my old Recotons which died. I wear pink shirts so I had no problem with the color and my wife loves it. The biggest pro over the old Rectos is that there is no speaker wire. Each of the speakers can be hung up on the wall and they each have their own electric plug. These are in my living room behind me. I have tile floor so no wires) The sound was fine as they aren't Bose and I only paid $55. I see they now are $69.95. Two cons which are the reason for a deduction of one star,

1. For some reason you can't turn on the speakers with the remote only shut them off. You have to go to each speaker and push the "on" button manually. The volume always resets to zero so you have to adjust the volume on both speakers. I count the clicks of the volume button to keep them equal. My old Recotons had the on/off button and volume control next to me for both speakers. I have taken to leaving the speakers on all night so in the morning they are ready to go when I turn on the TV in the am. However this can be a problem if people are still sleeping.

2. If you need to adjust the volume while watching TV you might have to get out of your chair to get to the one across the room. This is the price you pay for no speaker wire. The remote doesn't seem too powerful.

All in all I am very happy with the purchase especially at the price. One caveat the first day or so the sound was a bit tinny. My ear adjusted to this in a day or two and now sounds fine. Remember you always can adjust your TV settings for bass and treble to get the sound you want. I have not used these outdoors and I have had them for about a month.

The item is cheap so noone should expect awesome sound quality. Serves it's purpose. it would have been nicer if it could transmit through 2 interior walls, and through a 1920's brickwall. But for the price I'm asking too much. I'm using 6 rechargeable C batteries , and it works sweat. It's very mobile. But it also comes with a power supply for not using Batteries.

I had a pair of these speakers before. When I SAW THE BARGIN PRICE ON THE PINK ONES I ORDERED THEM AND PAINTED THEM BLACK. Great deal.

Don't waste your money on this product. When the system worked, the sound was really poor. After a few uses on the patio, it stopped working completely. The only thing that comes out of the speakers now is loud static noises.

These speakers are great! Very very easy to set-up, all you have to do is plug them in. They are very clear, as long as there isn't too many objects/walls in the way. Very handy to have the volume controls on each speaker, and the remote is very handy, too. This is way easier than using regular speakers and running the wire for them. You can also move them around if you need to. Would buy these again in a heartbeat. Might even get some more just to add on to the existing ones that I have.
