Advantages of this product are low price and relatively easy to use. Basically, place the speakers, slide the dial to tune them and youre done. The price is low compared to most other wireless systems, even adding the power adaptors into the cost. Most of the other wireless systems I looked were $150 for ONE speaker. Disadvantages are sound quality. If you want great sound quality, this product is not for you. It does have an A.M. radio quality to the sound. But if you just want to get sound to your porch or covered patio, like I did, this product does the job.

Ive had popping and cracking along with the volume coming and going...etc... That is the speakers only 12 feet straight away from the feed. Dont buy these, go elsewhere.

THIS ITEM LOOKS GREAT AND HAD A GREAT PRICE BUT IT TOOK ME THRU A LOOP. ALOT OF STATIC, FUZZINESS AND CONSTANT MUTENESS.

I only needed these to work over about 40 feet and through 1 wood cabinet door, less than 1 inch thick. NOT. Worst sound ever. When you can actually get sound (intermittently) it is like the worst AM radio you have ever heard. Wasted time, wasted shipping. Spare yourself.

We all know wireless speakers reputation... But when you are to install some kind of "surround" sistem in a room with lots of doors and dont want to place "miles" of wire, this is your choice. They work just fine. Not the sound for a preciosist fan, nor perfect quality. It takes a while to align the sistem properly, but lesser than wiring your entire place. I suggest to place the antenna the higher you can. Batteries are the tricky thing: 8 AAs per speaker, quite a lot. You can plug them in if you get 12V adaptors but theyll result more expensive than the speakers! So, if you expect reasonable quality sound (meaning no WOWs! at all...)these speakers are a good choice instead of wiring down your entire place.

I knew enough about wireless speakers reputation to be VERY wary about buying any. But when I saw these Emersons listed so cheap, I thought it would be worth the experiment. Im glad I did--they work fine for me.I have simple needs: I want to be able to listen to my computer-bound MP3s a few rooms away at the end of my apartment, and I dont care about perfect quality. I just want my music to follow me while cooking dinner and hanging on my porch. These speakers are a bit ornery, and it takes some work to align things right. Luckily I have an airwell running the length of my apartment, so I placed the antenna at the front of that opening. The signal reaches into the near end of my far room, about about 25 feet from my computer and the speakers antenna, and in the other direction 15 feet to work on my porch. Despite the airwell trick, these are by no means line of sight and there are a couple of walls the signal must pass through in either direction. The receiver/speakers obviously have some digital circuitry in them which try to lock in on the signal and they automatically shut off when the static kicks up high. The battery outlay is the big problem: 8 AAs per speaker. You can plug them in if you get 12V adaptors but these cost $12 each at Radio Shack. Im planning to hit the thrift stores in the next week, though, and Ill be suprised if I cant find two 12V adapters for next-to-nothing. So Im very glad I got these speakers, theyre a lot more convenient than putting wire down for four rooms. It seems like wireless speakers would be really hip now and that companies would put some work into designing them better, but until they do these Emersons are useful and enjoyable--AS LONG AS YOU DONT EXPECT TOO MUCH!

You would need to have something seriously wrong with you to buy these shisty speakers.

The speakers are full of static and intermittant even when close to the transmitter, rendering them worthless. Also, they require 16 batteries, which is not disclosed. One could buy 2 expensive a/C adapters, but then you may as well use wired speakers.

one of the speakers works great but the other has some problems picking up the signal and is ususally a bit fuzzy. they work on an acceptable level but could be better. they are perfect for a bedroom and you cant go wrong with the price. the main problem i have is that only one phone in my house isnt chordless and when they are on they knock out the phone signal, you just have to remember to turn the base off before you answer the phone. if they had cost more, i would have been very disappointed, but the price is worth it.

The price was wonderful but after about an hour of trying on two different stereos I couldnt get them to work. I could pick up other radio stations in the area but not my stereo. Ive heard that wireless speakers are a risky buy but I had hoped for the best. Maybe theyll work on someone elses machine but they sure didnt for me.
