Cables Unlimited Wireless Speakers with Remote

Rating

I purchased these wireless speakers for my father-in-law that has a hard time hearing his television. When he did not have the speakers he had to turn up the television so loud you could not hear anything else. I searched and found the best deal on these from Overstocked.com and they we shipped to me fast and it was an easy setup. Just plug it in and hit auto tune and the speakers worked like a dream. Great sound and to be able to turn them up or down individually and remotely was just what we needed. You can take the speakers and put them on the table beside the person without having to worry about a lot of wiring back to the unit. Thinking about getting another set for me. Great product and would recommend it to others.

I acquired a set as a flexible alternative to a surround sound system (we already have a surround system on one of the HD TV's and it cost a lot of $) for distributing and amplifying sound/music from the kitchen/family room TV, computer and a SONOS system we have in the house. For less than $100 the system is a great bargain. The system is easy to install and very simple to switch between input sources. A tiny bit of latency exists on one of the HD televisions-so I mute theTV speakers when I use them there-but with the SONOS, the computer and IPOD they work very well and the range allows us to play the music through a large part of the house. After buying the first pair I bought 2 more pairs-including one for our country home where we can use them outside by the pond due to their waterproof nature and the battery operation feature on the speakers. Overall a great buy.

opened the box, plugged them in and was listening within 10 minutes - great sound once I found the best spot for the speakers - ran into an issue with some interference from other electronics, but adjusted the location and the channel of the speaker output and it all went away - great value, no messy speaker wires, and able to move them where I need them - indoors, out doors, with me as I work around the house if I want

I purchased the speakers because I have a hearing problem. I was using wireless headphone speakers which I do llke but after a couple of hours the edges of my ears would hurt from having them on. I placed the new speakers on the end table beside my chair and by my husbands across from me. The sound coming from the sides of the room and not just from the front of the room made a huge difference. Also I can increase the volume on my speaker more if I need to and my husband keeps his a bit lower. The only thing we didn't like was the bright blue light that shows that the speakers are on. I read a complaint about this in another revue before I bought them and the reviewer said they put black electrical tape over the light to block it out. I was glad I read that review because we did the same.

Good sound quality and reception with no wires. Integrated volum control is nice. However they are not stereo and they must be run on batteries in wet areas as power supply connections are not waterproof.
