NOTE: To listen to your Mac or PC's music or video games wirelessly with the GigaWorks T20W, you will need a Sound Blaster Wireless Transmitter or Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook ExpressCard 34.

Stream Music to the Speakers Wirelessly
The GigaWorks T20W Series II works together with the Sound Blaster Wireless system, letting you place the speakers almost anywhere in your home without the need for wires. The system automatically recognizes the speakers, so there is no complicated setup necessary, and it streams music to the speakers up to 100 feet away.

You can also use the speakers as you would use ordinary powered speakers by connecting the system via wires. Bring the speakers with you on your next trip and get great sound from your iPod in your hotel room, on the beach, at your campsite, or wherever else you may be.

Two-Way Speaker Design Offers Great Sound Quality
The T20W Series II speakers are precision-tuned and feature a two-way speaker design for a well-balanced sound that is ideal for music and gaming enthusiasts. Dedicated tweeters provide detailed highs, while the mid-range drivers give full-bodied, rich sound. And BasXPort technology provides low frequency response without a bulky subwoofer.

The speakers feature 28 watts RMS of power, making them plenty loud to fill a room with sound. Whether you place them in your bedroom for a quiet, relaxing experience, or you use them to entertain guests in the living room, the T20W Series II is the perfect speaker system for the job.

Stylish Looks and Easy-to-Reach Controls
The sleek black styling of the T20W Series II goes with any decor, blending in as you move the speakers from room to room. Convenient controls for bass, treble, and volume are located on the front of the right speaker, where there is also a headphone and aux-in jack for easy connections.

The Creative Wireless Ecosystem: Music Where You Want It
The GigaWorks T20W Wireless Multimedia Speaker System is part of Creative Lab's Wireless Ecosystem that also includes the Sound Blaster Sound Blaster Wireless Receiver with Remote Control, Sound Blaster Wireless Transmitter, Sound Blaster Wireless Outdoor Rock Speaker, Sound Blaster Wireless Headphones, and Sound Blaster X-Fi Notebook ExpressCard 34.

By adding a Creative Wireless Ecosystem to your home, you can take full advantage of your digital music collection without the hassle of wires or time-consuming installations. With the Creative Wireless Ecosystem, setting up a system that allows you to play your music throughout your home takes just minutes.

Dedicated Wireless Connection for Outstanding Performance
Unlike other streaming audio systems, Sound Blaster Wireless does not piggy back on your home's network. In fact, the Sound Blaster system uses a dedicated wireless connection, so you don't even need a home network or wireless router to use it. The system communicates via a 2.4 GHz RF transmission, has a range of up to 100 feet, and supports recording and stereo playback at up to 16bit/48kHz. Forget 802.11g connections that break up and stutter--with Sound Blaster, you'll always have clear, uninterrupted music.

Each speaker measure 3.3 x 9.0 x 5.6 inches (WxHxD) and is backed by a one-year warranty.

What's in the Box
Two GigaWorks T20W speakers, stereo-to-stereo audio cable, power supply adapter, quick-start leaflet, warranty, and technical support leaflet.

Enjoy music from your digital library anywhere in your home without the need for wires.

I bought these speakers and the Sound Blaster wireless audio transmitter for my son for Christmas. I plugged in the speakers and hooked them up via the direct audio cable to gauge the sound. I thought I had to install the software and pair the speakers to get them running on wireless but as I plugged in the transmitter I thought I would just uplug the audio cable to see what happens. Sure enough the music from his laptop was streaming wirelessly to the speakers. The sound is clear and continuous. The base is good enough for a medium-sized room. There was some distortion when you crank the volume up beyond about three quarters but that was the only drawback. Remeber this is only through the usb transmitter and no additional stations were needed for same room sound.

I bought the T20W speakers along with the Express slot transmitter. The setup is easy if you know anything about your computer and operating system (and you should). The sound was great for small, portable speakers. Now for the limited conditions: 1. I could not use them in my backyard, sixty feet away, because there were three walls between my notebook transmitter and the T20W speakers. I realize obstacles reduce reception, but this was excessive. 2. Not having the ability to control anything but volume, was the reason I returned the components. These speakers need the same four-function control panel that is incorporated in the SB1122 wireless receiver (i.e. play/pause, previous/next). And it would be simple to do because all these components are part of the X-Fi family. If you intend to use the speakers in a different section of the house than the computer, I suggest using the separate wireless receiver so you can plug it into any (powered) speakers you prefer, and still have basic remote contol of your music.

I bought them for my laptop and having music all around my apartment. The sound is great. Although it took me about 30 minutes to get them working and reading several times the tiny instructions but everything sounds excellent with no delay. Definitely recommend them. I got them through another store which were cheaper than Amazon.com.
