4.3 of 5 A GREAT FIND 1/19/2009
from Phoenix AZ
These speakers work great. I was afraid that the volume wouldn't be loud enough but I stand corrected. They give out pleanty of sound. I use them for outdoor entertaining and does blast above the voices. Very easy to install and can very easily be changed from computer to TV in seconds for a good surround sound

5 of 5 Great Speakers 1/15/2009
from Eau Claire, WI
I bought these for our office so we could all have a speaker and listen to the same music. They were very easy to set up and work great. No problems so far and two of the speakers are quite far away from the transmitter but work just fine through the walls. I am thinking about buying another set for my house. Highly recommended!!

5 of 5 Enjoyable 12/22/2008
Steve from Lawrenceburg, Indiana
I feel I got a deal! Expectations were not set very high, before the purchase. Was looking for a wireless solution to just listen to some tunes in the living room, kitchen area. I had a big concern with 900 mhz, as I have a wireless router,and cordeless phones was concerned about interfrance, had "NONE". I wasn't expecting a high quality system, and was surprised when they arrived. They sound "great" and accomplished what I wanted them to to.
I can only say a few negatives -
1) That L.E.D. light is way to bright and can't be turned off.
2) Would like to have a single source of control (to handle volume and power).
Otherwise, I would recommend this product to anyone.

5 of 5 Perfect for certain uses 11/10/2008
Nathan from Austin, Texas
These speakers work perfectly for what I needed them for, which is maximum portability for outdoor movie screenings and conference demonstrations. The sound is loud and clear enough for great outdoor use with no discernible latency problems even when speakers are far from the broadcaster. I've encountered very minor interference issues but nothing that would make the speakers unusable. That said, the lack of stereo makes these speakers better suited for utility than elegance. They work great in environments where you may already compete with some ambient noise. I would not rely on these speakers as a primary home theater system (though as supplements to integrated rear speakers they may provide some value). My only other complaint is that the broadcaster can not work on batteries as the speakers can. This means that as portable as the speakers are, you're still limited to needing a power source for the broadcaster...not a huge problem in most environments but an odd obstacle for such a massively portable system.

5 of 5 Works well 10/29/2008
from Tarzana, CA
Easy to set up and install. Works well with my receiver. Item was received from Buy.com in only a few days, faster than most things that I order via ebay or online.

4.7 of 5 Pretty nice 10/12/2008
from Charlotte, MI
Ordered the (4) speaker package and was not dissapointed. I used them around my house, with (2) about 60 ft. away through a few walls. I've used them on batteries and on AC power and they both work fine.

3.3 of 5 Middle of the road 9/18/2008
Joe from Long Island, NY
I purchased these speakers to broadcast music to my backyard. The sound is adequate but the range gets shaky at 40-50ft if restricted by walls resulting in static if anyone around the speaker moves from where they were standing when you "auto tune" the speaker. Further, the signal/sound seems to intermittently cut out on particular mp3 songs (maybe 1 out of 5). I've tried changing sources from a PC to an iTouch and the result was the same. It's very random and very annoying. A friend purchased the Brookstone wireless speaker and I think he's had better success but I'd do your homework. I would have probably returned these if I would have purchased them locally but I don't want to mess with the shipping inconvenience.

3.3 of 5 They Work, Kinda. 7/22/2008
Adam from Riverside, CA
The Speakers really need to be very close to the transmitter in my experience if they are more than 10ft away you get annoying clicking and interference sounds. They might work better if you live in the middle of nowhere and there wouldn't be much interference. Overall not that impressed. Save your money.

5 of 5 Great System 3/11/2008
from Soto, FL
C'mon folks, for less than $150 this is a great system. This is set up in my office suite and the four speakers cover the entire space with great sounding music from live365 online. This has solved my office problem wirelessly. Do NOT buy this system with elevated expectations of quality that only wired, expensive speakers will provide.

5 of 5 Velocity Premium Wireless Speaker 3/10/2008
from tomah wi
I got the four pack and I'm satisfied with them, I have them placed throughout my apt, maybe about 40ft from signal and three walls, and now I can listen to streaming audio without having another appliance turned on. The quality of the sound is quite good even when turned up to full volume which I had to try. The remote is a nice feature and each speaker has a volume control which can be activated with the remote. I have only used the speakers with the plug-ins so far. I would say expect good sound quality, good signal performance, and Buy.com delivers fast.

4.7 of 5 A lot for the money 3/10/2008
Matt from Michigan
Bought as a home program audio solution and to have something out at the bonfire in the warmer months. Very satisfied overall. Plenty of clear sound, bass comes out more when positioned correctly in the room, very pleasant surprise that all speakers have option to accept batteries, extremely easy to setup, works with any audio source adapted to mini plug (they even through in some adapters). Only drawback is they can be overdriven if turned up too loud (but few speakers in this price range can't)
Overall - Would buy again, considering adding more, would recommend.

3.7 of 5 Not Bad... Not Great 3/6/2008
tony f from New Jersey
Bought the set of four. Only connection issue I have is if the source volume is too high.. this leads to loss of audio at the speaker. Overall the speakers work as expected. I am a little disappointed in the audio quality - high frequency is not rendered well so most music sounds "boomy". As other reviewers have noted you do have go to each speaker to turn it on... but I find this to be only a minor annoyance.

5 of 5 satisfied with these 3/1/2008
from wi
I have been looking for wireless speakers for some time. I chose these because of the price plus the deal with receiving four speakers was too good not to try. I feel the sound is good but if you are a true audiophile then you should spend more money. The speakers give a slight bit of tinniness at lower volume but sound much better with the volume turned up. I have found the speakers pick up the signal quite well throughout my apt, I haven't tried them outside yet because of winter but the signal is picked up in my garage which is four walls from the sending unit. I like the fact I can now listen to good music throughout my entire apt.

4 of 5 You get what you pay for... 2/24/2008
from CA
Don't be fooled by the CES video. This speaker is not "amazing" as advertised. I hooked it up a few days ago to my PC so I can listen to music around the house. So first I want to say the sound from these speakers is indeed awesome and can get loud. The built in subwoofer does deliver rich bass, so that is a plus. The LED's are extremely bright and can distract you if you are hooking it up to your TV...you would need to cover it with electrical tape...it's blinding! But the main reason why most people including my purchase these kind of WIRELESS speakers is so we don't hear distortion. They say that it can travel up to 150ft, which they can...BUT NOT CLEARLY. There is distortion, and I don't have it very far from the base (Only one wall in between...from my office to my semi-connected living room...thats all). You hear the sound fade in and out every now and then. There is some loud distortion at times (mind you that the only interference I have in my house is a standard 5.8Ghz cordless phone...I don't even have a wireless router installed yet!) So I'd say from that note that I gave it 3 stars because it should of had a clearer wireless signal or something to keep it from that static. But I am still satisfied because I got it quick, and best of all it was $105 shipped for me after rebates, and Google Checkout, so you can't beat that price for FOUR speakers...(yes I said 4, and a base)...so technically I give it a 3.8 ....in a few months I will try hooking it up to my 42'' Samsung Plasma and see how that goes. I would imagine the sound would be MUCH better since the base and the speakers will be right beside each other so it would make a killer wireless surround sound system.
