NOT a happy customer [Posted on 2003-12-26]
I bought this as a gift for my parents and just found out [Dec. 25th] they need to also purchase a transmitter to get the darn thing to even work. The picture shows the transmitter- there is NO mention of requiring this piece as well. This information is necessary in order for someone to make an educated decision on whether or not to buy. What a slippery marketing tactic.
Nice item; works great with Apple ipods [Posted on 2004-03-13]
Not sure why everyone else received the speaker without the transmitter. Mine came with it and overall sounds pretty good in my bedroom. No there's not a whole lot of bass, but visually it looks pretty nice especially at night with the cool illuminating blue light. For my purposes, I hooked this baby up to my new mini ipod and it works fantastic!
Wireless Freedom [Posted on 2006-02-20]
Through some trial and error I ended up with a mixed system that provides wireless speaker system for an office. I found the Sony wireless speaker works better with Acoustic Research's AW-871 transmitter. The transmitter seems to be more effective or powerful. The SONY speaker works well in a larger room as it seems to project the sound well. The AR speakers work nicely in small to medium size rooms.

it does exactly what we wanted, my husband couldn't hear our new big screen TV, and this sitting by his side is just perfect.....easy to install and has its own volume control, as do we....looks really nice also
Availble With or Without Transmitter [Posted on 2007-10-07]
According to other reviews, some people were surprised to receive a speaker without a transmitter. That's because you can order this speaker WITH or WITHOUT a transmitter. Start by ordering it with a transmitter. Then, if you want to ADD ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS, you can order the speaker only. One transmitter can drive as many speakers as desired. For example, in our house, we have one transmitter and five speakers. Transmission from basement to third-floor bedroom works fine.
SRS-RF90R is the SPEAKER ONLY (order this if you want to add more speakers).
SRS-RF90RK is the SPEAKER WITH TRANSMITTER (order this first).
Additional Comments
===================
- Overall we're very happy with this product.
- Sound quality is good, but not equal to a wired speaker.
- Experiment with placement of the speakers AND placement the transmitter. This affects sound quality, transmission distance, and noise. We found that best location for the transmitter was actually in the basement.
- Rechargeable battery is a great feature. We often take speakers outside for parties.
- "Noise filter" switch on back of transmitter actually seems to increase noise. We turn it off.
- Overall build quality of the speakers is very high, except for flimsy plastic reflector. We've dropped them a few times with no damage. They also look nice.
- Note for iTunes users: We use these speakers to listen to iTunes throughout the house. To control iTunes remotely from anywhere in the house, we use Griffin Airclick USB.
