Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this system as I like to listen to music (Pandora, iTunes) and talk radio (NPR, BBC) while I'm moving around the house. System was easy to set up. The speakers are just OK, as other reviewers have said, they lack oomph and sound a little tinny as there is little base. Couple of things to note... unless I have got this wrong, using this system disables the computer's speakers, it's one or the other. I can get them back be restarting my PC with the Sony USB disconnected. I can control iTunes i.e. moving back and forth between tracks and apparently in Advanced Mode you can select play lists. I can't figure out a way to control Pandora, advancing tracks or selecting my stations, but I can hear it.
Very easy to connect to my home stereo system, plugged the unit in, connected the RCA cables to the Aux input and out came the music. Again the sound quality may not be the best but then I am not sitting down listening to it.
I used to have a Logitech Wireless DJ Streampoint system. Very flaky, gave up on it. Sony have clearly figured out wireless transmission where Logitech could not.
If you want to have sound in the background while you are doing other things, maybe even some background music while you have friends over for dinner, then the included speakers will work for you. If you want higher quality sound from your PC to sit and listen to or rock out a party then the connection to the home stereo is a good additional feature.
All in all I am very happy with the system, better sound quality would give it a 5 star rating. I am going to buy the R50 speakers to see if that improves things.
