Customer Reviews
Great Product
I bought this for my dorm and it's totally great. I can watch movies on it or take it out into the hall and have a hall dance party. It meets all needs and I was actually really surprised at the sound quality. For 70 bucks it rocks! The only issue is that it takes a few seconds to connect and when it's on and not playing music it buzzes alot. Easily fixed by turning it off and on though. Great Product.
not bad - but not great either
The obvious advantage is the lack of wiring - but the sound is a bit fuzzy and you can get interference from dogs and people walking around. Takes a boat load of batteries - but found some generic ones that were not too expensive but plan on spending 25+ for rechargeable batteries per speaker. For causal listening to music and the news out on the deck these are fine. but overall sound quality is not great.
Wireless Outdoor Speaker
I did not pay for "enhanced" shipping and the delivery took a while but once it was here I am very happy with it. It worked great just out of the box. Auto-shutdown feature (during non-use) is good but one time I seemed to struggle to get the thing to "wake-up". Probably "operator error" however, as I have not seemed to have that problem again.
We have XM on one of our "boomboxes" (in the kitchen) and all the wires and the antenna were a pain to move from room to room - we simply did not move them. The speaker is about 40 feet from the transmitter and works GREAT. In fact I almost believe that the "Old time radio" that I like to listen to is clearer on the remote speaker than on the boombox itself. Color me "Very Happy" with the purchase.
Now. . . Do I want to buy a second one for stereo?? Have to think about that! Let's see, Old Time Radio is monoaural anyway, isn't it? hmmm. . .
Next purchase - 8 rechargeable C batteries - the 110V power supply for the portable speaker will keep them charged when the thing is the in the home office (vast majority of the time) but we can also then just move the speaker itself to the patio or the workshop / garage. (Why didn't I test it in the workshop? It is closer to the base than the office!) The manual specifies that you should not have non-rechargeable batteries in it if you used the 110V power supply. You really don't need to read the manual (mostly intuitive) but it is so small you will finish it in one sitting in the "main reading room". Think about that last statement!!!
