Customer Reviews

Good wireless solution
I was searching for wireless speakers for an outdoor event, and I'm certain these will do nicely. While it's true that the transmitter needs to be plugged into the music source (via a standard headphone jack that will fit all devices I would need it to) and into a wall outlet, I expected that. For a test run I plugged into my laptop sitting in the middle of the first floor then slotted 6 AA batteries into the speaker and turned it on. It automatically picked up the signal. I took a walk around the house and got about 100' away and still got good signal. I also like the feature to select L,R,or Mono on the speaker itself. Bass boost helps the sound a lot. Also, I was able to run 4 speakers from 1 transmitter. Don't know yet about interference or battery life for the speaker. I love the aesthetics of it.

Great buy!
I have the model that was sold prior to this one, which is good. The AW825, has much better sound quality and looks nicer. A great buy.

Great for entertaining
I bought one as a gift for a friend. He'll probably use it in his kitchen and on the patio as an extension of his entertainment system. We used it over the weekend and sound is surprisingly great considering the form factor. Bass is rich and can be boosted if desired. Slightly lacking midrange but high end is fine. Regardless, there's plenty of range for background, ambience, etc. while cooking or entertaining. Enough volume to rock out if you had a pair for stereo. The packaging shows a speaker on a patio with a bunch of people sitting around a dinner table and that's exactly what they're great for. Can't beat the price either. I highly recommend it and will buy for myself if my current wireless speakers need replacement.
