This has to be one of our best gifts to us from Santa ever! It comes with 2 speakers – we bought an extra one and liked it so much, we just ordered an other one. You can change the song from any speaker, each speaker has volume control and on/off switch. When not in use, it displays the time. It looks sharp and the sound is unbelievable. The best part is you can move a speaker outside or basement or garage anywhere….

One of the most recent reviews on this said this product would not work with your receiver hooked up with a hdmi cable, so I was reluctant to purchase. But figured there are alot of people who have no idea what they are talking about, so I ordered anyway. I AM GLAD I DID! Here is the scoop on this awesome little black box. First off it works no problem with the receiver hooked up thru HDMI cable only. I have the sony bdve300 blu-ray/surround package which has the option to buy the EZW-T100 s-air adapter (which I did purchase separately)that allows my bdve300 system to send the wireless signal to this little black box. I plugged this little black box in , turned the power button on , it immediately paired and the radio station I was listening to on my main unit played like magic! I then took the unit to the farthest place I would listen to it (outside my house) and it played perfect. At this time I tried to use the buttons on the box which flipped thru my preset radio stations without ever programming them they were all just there! You can fast forward, stop, play dvd/cd right from this unit also. Next ran the normal tests. 1)Volume : not bad, nice clean sound, no bass, plenty of volume for me (surprised). 2) Construction : feels solid not cheap 3) Functions : played cable tv, radio, dvd/cd audio perfect(what else matters). When watching 5.1 dvd it seems to play the front speakers sound not the rear surround sound just in case anyone is curious. I love this little black box so much that I just purchased another and am considering buying a third. This is a tremendous value and do not see how anyone would give this a bad review unless they received a defective unit. Sorry for the long reveiw but felt this item took some unfair remarks and I wanted to set the record straight. Buy this item, you can’t go wrong!

So now that I finally have mine up and playing I will say its a neat little unit. I won’t rave about the sound quality as it does not meet my standards but yet it’s good enough for the use that my wife and I bought it for. I will say it has decent sound quality for the price. I have not had the issues others have with it interfering with WIFI/phones but remember it has various cahnnels you can use to keep it from interfering.I am disappointed that you are not able to listen to any componet that is digital through this unit as I bought it so when I play a concert DVD I can have the added sound in additional rooms. This is not possible unless you conect to the receiver through componet cables which defeats the purpose of having a nice set up.
Pros:
It’s a nice little compact unit with decent sound that has a pretty good range. There is not a room I can’t receive a good signal from (unlike others have stated).
Cons:
If you don’t have a receiver that is set up for this unit, be sure to understand that you are going to pay extra money for the EZW T100 transmitter. This extra cost came as a surprise.
When setting it up, calling Sony does not seem to work, I highly recomend their “chat” room for technical assistance. 2 hours on the phone got me no where and 15 minutes in the chat room had me up and running.
They need to put how to “hard reset” in the manuals, this would have saved me a ton of grief.
The fact that you can’t listen to ANYTHING that is connected through a optical, digital or HDMI cable is a MAJOR DOWNFALL.
Summary:
I like this unit but set up is an issue in many cases. Sony is nickel and diming folks for this unit and it sure isn’t worth it. I wish I had put the money into a protable unit that I could take anywhere. This unit will not work if it isn’t linked to the main unit. Since it won’t play the digital portion off my receiver, a protable unit makes more since. I can only listen to the tuner and my old CD player through this unit. I do love gadets and this is just that a gadet. There for I am fairly happy with it as it is a neat concept. There definately needs to be some refinements from Sony for the “next” generation.

This is a great idea and a solid product. The sound quality is quite good – almost as good as a Bose docking station, in fact. But this unit does have limitations in terms of how close it needs to be to the mother unit or another S-AIR speaker. You won’t have any problems whatsoever if there isn’t a wall between units, regardless of distance. But if there is a wall between speakers, you may have to play around with where you put the unit a little bit. Overall, it’s a great product that has some practical limitations. Highly recommend.

I live in a railroad apartment in NYC — one room after another, with the doorways lined up. My main unit with the S-Air transmitter (which I had to buy separately) is in the front room, and I wanted to put the receiver in the kitchen at the other end (about 60-80 feet away). The units will pair if I put the receiver in the front room, but if I unplug it and take it into the kitchen they will not. Presumably I could use it in the next room, but what for? I can already hear the music from the front room speakers in the next room. Although the unit technically works, it won’t be one bit of use to anybody in my situation. By the way, I just got off the phone with a SONY specialist, and no, there is no transceiver I can put in an intermediate room or antenna I can add to the receiver to strengthen the signal. I’m out $42 for the transmitter, $89 for the receiver, and whatever percentage of the $425 cost of the home theatre system and main unit represents the useless S-Air upgrade capability. There was nothing in the online info (and there’s nothing in the manual for the main unit or the instructions for the receiver) telling me what the maximum distance would be …. not surprisingly, since the maximum distance apparently ain’t much. Watch out, suckers.
