5.0 out of 5 stars Wireless Speakers, November 14, 2006

By	H. R. Brummal (Fayetteville, AR USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I bought these speakers originally to use with my IPod, and it works great. Now we use them any time we have the TV on to watch the game outside or listen to music from the stereo inside to the deck outside. These are great!! I highly recommend them. You can move each speaker into a different room if you want. You can take them anywhere! You can either plug them into an outlet or put batteries in them. Works through walls too. If you try and play music or the TV - one note of advice: make sure the volume is up loud enough to transmit the signal. You will know when it is loud enough when the green light on receiver is lit.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a deal!, February 6, 2007

By	FancyNancy - See all my reviews

I almost bought the IBall (from Target online), then these caught my eye. You get 2 speakers (not 1), a remote control, and it transmits up to 150 ft. Plus, right now Sharper Image is offering FREE extra pair of speakers!!! Get a $30 off coupon from SI website, then get them! Or, sign up for SI emails and save 10%. Sound is fine, transmits from my bedroom on 2nd floor to exercise room far away in finished basement, no problem. I also bought the $9.95 charging dock. The only problem I see is that the speakers don't seem to turn off automatically like they're supposed to, but hey, I'll go press a button. Very pleased with purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good While It Lasted, November 17, 2007

By	Elena (Palm Bay, FL, USA) - See all my reviews

Bought these speakers in March 07, it is now November 07 and the power to the transmitter stopped working. One day it was on, the next off. If this product can't last more than a year, it's not worth it. It was probably used once or twice a week, never put batteries in the speakers, had power outlets outside - the speakers work fine, it's the transmitter that died.
