Great Sound and Functionality [Posted on 2007-02-17]
I play games and listen to music, and this is one fine system for doing both. I especially wanted this system for its architecture (wireless surround-sound speakers, powered by an electrical outlet instead of batteries). The surround-sound wireless connection is flawless, and the setup is nice and neat with no cables getting in the way--and of course, the sound quality is superb. The one problem I have, which took me a while to figure out, is not really a problem with this system in itself. I use a Linksys wireless router and network card, which both run at the same frequency (2.4 GHz) as the wireless speaker connection. Turns out when I have the speakers on, my wireless connection to my router gets blocked most of the time. I verified this several times by switching my speakers on and off. So just one thing to consider. Hopefully, I can fix this by playing around with different channels on my wi-fi network.
THIS IS AN EXCELLENT SPEAKER SYSTEM [Posted on 2008-06-28]
I am using this system on a Home Theater PC I just built. I couldn't be more pleased with their performance and flexibility. The wireless surround and electronic control of each speaker is flawless. I replaced a cheap Sony 5.1 DVD and I can't even compare the increase in quality and output of this system. One small problem I had that others have reported is you have to keep the control box away from Linksys cable & router boxes. I thought my unit was defective because the speakers would shut off some times. I moved my Linksys cable router to another room and the problem quit. For the price I don't think you could find a better system.
I did have to return them because the control box went out. I plan to try another set though. They are really nice when they work.
