Customer Review: Works Great and Easy to Install
Summary: 5 Stars
I listen to internet radio because local commercial radio stations have ads that drive me crazy, more ads and talking than music but I couldn't find a way to listen to internet radio thru my stereo system so I was stuck listening to it in my office. Bose wanted $500 for their set-up which was way too much! I found this product and I'm extremely happy, it was quick and easy to install - took less than 10 minutes and streams music from the desktop in my office to my stereo system in the living room without a hiccup, sounds great and hasn't caused any problems with my wi-fi setup.Customer Review: Just what I needed!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been looking for a product like this for 2 years now. Every since I put all my music on a computer. If you want to send music anywhere in your house or within 100 feet of the sending unit, this is it. Nothing fancy, it just works. As far as interference with a home network. I haven't noticed anything. I have a wireless network at 2.4 GHZ and no problems. The tech support guy said these things auto detect and switch to a different channel. Just get them close to the wireless router long enough to adjust and you're set. 3 year warranty, what else do you need.Customer Review: Ridiculous price, great gadget
Summary: 4 Stars
The profit margin on this thing must be something like 90%, but wow, what a useful gadget. Shows up as a standard USB sound card on Linux (Fedora 10) and *just works* to pipe audio to my stereo; the audio input jack also works if you want to plug it into something that doesn't support it as a USB sound card. No drivers, no weird protocols, no messing around, just plug it in and it goes. When friends come over, they can just plug it into their (Linux) laptops and they can control the music. Only downside is the price; other than that I'd give it 5 stars.Customer Review: Work well, but really overpriced
Summary: 3 Stars
At $100, this pair of usb remote plugs will let you play music off your hard drive on speakers wirelessly. But really, the price is absurd, considering the technology in this package. What a profit margin! If you don't care to go the Apple route and buy an Airport Express, then these will do the same thing in playing off your harddrive or mp3 player or whatever you want to plug them into. They work very well with the pair of Audio Engine A5 speakers I just bought at the same time. I expect something like this will be a lot cheaper in a year or two.Customer Review: Works beautifully, eats iPod battery
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this to wirelessly connect my iPod to a component stereo system. I've had no problems with interference and it works beautifully. No issues with setup.
Note that you will need to buy an adapter to connect it to a component system. Note also that the transmitter uses the iPod battery for power. It reduces the standard 18-20 hours I get from my iPod with earbuds to about 2 hours. Still, I wouldn't give it up.
I ordered through Amazon with fulfillment from Listen Up. Shipment was prompt and it arrived in good shape.
