4.0 out of 5 stars
PROBABLY should be a 5., June 17, 2009
This review is from: Cables Unlimted SPK24G Audio Unlimited 2.4GHz Wireless Indoor Outdoor Stereo Speaker with Remote and SRS WOW 3D Surround Technology (Electronics)
Very nice for the $$. Excellent definition for mono. Nowhere near 3D surround, but with the volume set at a comfortable conversation level while near the speaker, we could still make out plenty of detail 30 feet away, (and by a pool pump no less). Excellent range through brick walls. Good range on the remote. Got it today and am ordering another now. Will try stereo and dual mono to see what's best, then I'll update my review. Only complaint is "sub"woofer. But I'm a bass player and drummer, so I REALLY dig low end. I boosted the lows on Winamp's eq, turned down the volume a tad, and the low end became pretty passable for me. The bright blue l.e.d. is soothing. Hope it doesn't draw bugs. VERY pleased at this price. Only other questions are will same transmitter run multiple speakers? If so, will one transmitter allow setting the speakers to left or right, or is it just mono? And, will one remote control multiple speakers? We'll know in a couple of days. Searched hard for a better price. (MSRP is $200.) Most were $15-$20 higher. Someone had it for $280!! I found a few cheaper, at most after shipping was $8 lower. Now certainly no offense intended, but they were companies I would probably never have occasion to use again. The ease and proven dependability of Amazon is most worth it. (Here's the aforementioned update.) After going stereo, the sound was even better, but the range decreased significantly. I didn't want to fool with tech support. I have NO patience. So I got an audio extension cable, moved the transmitter and speakers about 15 feet closer.... problem solved. PEACE!!

5.0 out of 5 stars
Very satisfied!, September 4, 2009
This review is from: Cables Unlimted SPK24G Audio Unlimited 2.4GHz Wireless Indoor Outdoor Stereo Speaker with Remote and SRS WOW 3D Surround Technology (Electronics)
I like to sit out on my screened in porch on Fridays and work. I enjoy listening to music and the wildlife. I had a set of Acoustic Research wireless speakers (900MHz) and they kept losing signal and cutting out all the time, pretty anoying. I tried this unit because of the different transmitter frequency range and other reviews. The speaker is about 35' from the transmitter and through walls. So far I've been out for about 4 hrs and not once has it cut out. I like the dual inputs on the transmitter, I can plug the Sony Video Walkman into the minijack and I have the stereo output plugged into the RCA jacks on the rear.
Pros:
- Sound quality is pretty good, not Bose, but not $$$$.
- Looks nice and easy to move around. The blue "mood" light is kind of neat for outdoors.
- No interference with other wireless things. We have 3 computers running wireless and have not experienced a blip with this unit running. Also cordless phone runs at 5.8GHz, so not a problem
- Bass is better than the ARs I replaced.
- Like the remote to control volume without having to get up to turn down volume as with the ARs.
- No issues with volume increase/decrease (except for variations album to album). Wish these things had a way to control those variations.
- It will play stereo, but you have to buy two complete units, wish they sold additional speaker separately. Right now sounds OK, so not sure I'll make the investment.
Cons:
- Like the other reviewers, it could use a little more volume range. Not bad for porch, but not for loud partying.
- Doesn't come as a stereo system.

Beats 900MHz Hands Down, September 23, 2009
This review is from: Cables Unlimted SPK24G Audio Unlimited 2.4GHz Wireless Indoor Outdoor Stereo Speaker with Remote and SRS WOW 3D Surround Technology (Electronics)
Having previously owned two sets of wireless 900 MHz speakers (both using plug-in adapter and one also battery operated) these speakers are heads above the 900 MHz option. I haven't had them long enough to comment on the battery life, but the sound is soooo much better. This is especially true if you enjoy the bass end of the spectrum.
Most impressive is the ability of the speakers to lock in on a frequency and then deliver uninterrupted sound. No popping or dropping in-and-out of the frequency as with previous speakers. I am thrilled with the portability and the ease of connecting to an mp3 player, using your own standard cable. The sound delivered from my hookup (cord provided) to my stereo system is very good, both in the house and outside. It also doesn't seem to matter if you are using the adapter or the batteries.
The only limits are in the range and the volume. Loudness will not rattle the neighbors, but if your source is turned up enough, it's more than I need, even with the mp3. The range is not as good as advertised, but it does go through walls and the distance is acceptable. You'll easily be able to tell if you are too far from the source, with the speakers going into silence for several seconds at a time. I move it about 8-10 ft. closer and have great reception.
