This is a great and useful product, but must be turned to European mode to reach 87.7 - 87.9 since for some reason Griffin thinks that they are not allowed to use these frequencies (they are).
On the FM transmitter box, push the middle button (Function) and then press and hold the "Mode" button (the right one) for approximately 10 seconds. When you let go you will see a menu for "Us" "Eu" "Ja", select the middle button, "Eu". Let the device sit for a few seconds until it goes back to the main screen, then tune your radio and the transmitter to 87.7 - 87.9! Now you can use the device on the frequencies that will rarely give you interference (I have the best luck in St. Louis with 87.7).

Sylvania SYL-WH930GB Wireless Headphones (Black) Review

When you can get these wireless headphones to actually connect, they work fairly well, although they can suddenly disconnect for no reason, and if I turn my head so that it faces my cordless phone base, they get a loud buzz. The sound quality is fine for TV programs. But the main problem is GETTING them to connect: EACH and EVERY time you turn them on you have to "synch" them with the transmitter that's connected to the TV. This involves pressing the "Scan" & "Reset" buttons repeatedly, often for several minutes, before you hear anything other than loud static. This means you need to turn them on & start pushing buttons 4 minutes ahead of time, or you will miss the beginning of things. And don't even think of turning them off during commercials to save battery life! The transmitter requires batteries as well as the headphones, so if you forget to turn IT off when you're done, you'll be out of luck next time. The transmitter DOES have a power jack, but YOU have to find & buy an appropriate power adapter, adding to their cost. Sometimes these allow me to walk into the next room & keep listening, but sometimes they lose the connection while I'm sitting still 4 ft. away. Definitely not worth the trouble!

The first one I got had a problem remembering the devices it was paired to. I requested a return from the company because that was a pain to deal with. But the company told me it wasn't supposed to work that way and the sent me a new one, asking me to return the old one at my convenience. The new one does remember pairings and works great.
I also own the one Sony makes and frankly this one is more convenient since you don't have to turn it on after plugging it in. It's also a bit smaller than the Sony. Sound quality compared with the Sony is about the same and is quite good. This unit will let you change volume at the iPod where the Sony will only output the max, but I don't find that to be a useful feature as you will want it set to max in almost all cases. I have Bluetooth on the car radio and I can stream audio to it from this easily. I can also use it with my Bluetooth Nokia headphones so I don't have to deal with those headphone wires. Works with both my 5th gen and 6th gen Nano perfectly.

i10s responds to Receiver Remote AVRCP commands (Play, Pause, Next, Previous). Smallest size compared to other products made by other manufacturers in this category. Transmits stereo audio from iPods, iPhones, iPads wirelessly to compatible Bluetooth receivers. This product is BOTH Made-for-iPod and Works-With-iPhone, unlike many other iPod Bluetooth Transmitters that are only Made-for-iPod. Includes Authentication IC chip, which allows for local iPod, iPhone, iPad volume adjustment - that is not possible with other Made-for-iPod only transmitters that do not include Authenticaion IC chip.Low power consumption, for many hours of wireless audio enjoyment with iPods, iPhones and iPads.No batteries needed, powered by iPod/iPhone/iPad. No cables needed, attach to iPod/iPhone/iPad via 30-pin connector.Simple to operate.Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Class 2. Works with iPad, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPhone (1st gen), iPod touch (1st-4th gen), iPod nano (1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th and latest 6th gen tiny iPod nano), iPod classic (80,120,160GB).Advantages of this new Tiny i10s vs Sony's (2006) iPod Transmitter:(1) i10s includes an Apple Authentication chip that will authenticate with iPod/iPhone/iPad. This authentication process enables local volume adjustments on the iPod/iPhone/iPad to change the volume at the remote receiver. Sony iPod Transmitter does not have an Apple Authentication chip and because of this there is no local iPod/iPhone/iPad volume adjustment possible to change the volume at the remote receiver. (2) This i10s is less than 2/3 the size of Sony's iPod Transmitter, making this a better fit for your iPod/iPhone/iPad. i10s industrial design is a better match for the elegantly designed iPods/iPhones/iPads.(3) No buttons needed to pair and connect, just plug i10s into iPod/iPhone/iPad and it will automatically pair and connect to receiver. No button also means no additional mechanical failure mode on this i10s device.

Griffin iTrip Auto for iPhone and iPod 4G Review

Griffin iTrip Auto for iPhone and iPod 4G
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this iTrip product for use with an iPhone 3GS. I am familiar with the limitations of FM transmitters and have purchased various models over the years including Griffin iTrip predescessors and have had decent success (particular units like Griffin that allow you to set the FM station to below 88.1 using Europe settings).
This unit is seriously flawed. First of all, even though it indicates that it is iPhone (3G/3GS) compatible, the iPhone displays an error message that the iTrip is not compatible with the iPhone. Apparently this is due to lack of certification from Apple.
Ignoring this problem, I was unable to get the FM transmitter to work on a clear station. The unit charges the iPhone fine. I tried several station, including 87.9, several cars, and several devices (iTouch, old iPod), etc. I contacted Griffin and they sent me a replacement unit.
The replacement unit faired a little better. I was able to get it to work in one car (Toyota) after removing/inserting the power plug multiple times but not in other cars (BMW, Acura). I noticed with the BMW I was finally able to get the transmitter to work with much noise, but only in the upper FM dial, e.g., 104.5 FM.
The support group at Griffin was very polite and responsive but told me that they don't make the transmitters as powerful as their older models due to FCC limitations in the last four years. They offered to send me yet another unit but I did not see the point. Unfortunately for me, since I tried to deal with Griffin directly, I exceeded the Amazon 30 day return window (this was a gift that I gave to someone else).
There is also an iPhone application for this iTrip but it has little value.
While the unit appears to be nice for iPhone (including the ability to advance through a playlist from the iTrip without turning on the iPhone), it does not work and should be avoided.
UPDATE. Griffin sent me a 3rd unit. I was unable to get any reception with it. In the meanwhile, I purchased an FM transmitter/charger from Grantwood Technology and highly recommend it. Reception is great with no static and unit costs less than the iTrip

Sony HT-SS370 Surround Sound Home Theater System, Black Review

Sony HT-SS370 Surround Sound Home Theater System, Black
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just wanted to share a few points about this product that weren't clear to me before I purchased it.
1.) The receiver does not decode Dolby True HD or Master DTS HD. HOWEVER, the receiver accepts LPCM signals. So, if your Blu-Ray player can send an LPCM signal and it has onboard decoders for those codes (and I believe they all do), then you can still experience everything Dolby True HD and Master DTS HD has to offer. If you're lost at this point, I'll put it this way. If you have a PS3 and this sound system, you're getting the full "HD" sound offered by Blu-Ray discs. Just make sure your PS3 is set to send Blu-Ray audio via LPCM, not Bitsreaming. Also, you need to connect your PS3 with HDMI to make this happen.
2.) The sound from this system is excellent. 1000 watts is plenty of power for your typical home theater. In fact, it's more watts than most home theater systems on the market currently offer. In my experience, a good rule of thumb is "more watts the better". This is true even you don't plan on cranking up the volume.
3.) The rear speakers on this system are not automatically wireless. That is, this system is CAPABLE of wirelessly transmitting to the rear speakers, but in order to do this, you need to purchase a transmitter to plug into the back of the receiver and an amplifier for the rear speakers. Sony calls this system AIR. So, in case it isn't clear, this system is only "wireless ready". I haven't purchased the transmitter and the amp needed, but installation looks like it would be very simple. It's nice to have that option in the future.
The only downside to this system, as I see it, is that the remote is overly complicated. Lots of buttons and I only seem to use about 8 of them. If my home theater had more Sony BRAVIA compenents, then maybe all of the extra buttons would be of more use. Overall, however, the bad remote is definitely not a dealbraker. The positives of this system greatly outweigh this one minor negative.

I was searching for wireless speakers for an outdoor event, and I'm certain these will do nicely. While it's true that the transmitter needs to be plugged into the music source (via a standard headphone jack that will fit all devices I would need it to) and into a wall outlet, I expected that. For a test run I plugged into my laptop sitting in the middle of the first floor then slotted 6 AA batteries into the speaker and turned it on. It automatically picked up the signal. I took a walk around the house and got about 100' away and still got good signal. I also like the feature to select L,R,or Mono on the speaker itself. Bass boost helps the sound a lot. Also, I was able to run 4 speakers from 1 transmitter. Don't know yet about interference or battery life for the speaker. I love the aesthetics of it.

Sleek Audio SA1 High-Fidelity Siam Rosewood Earphones Review

Sleek Audio SA1 High-Fidelity Siam Rosewood Earphones
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
THIRD UPDATE: 8/12/2010 (the final update)
So they sent me two replacement sets of earphones when my last pair broke. I have now had one earbud on each go out. From what I can tell, they had a quality control issues. See quoted text from an email conversation I had with them:
"Unfortunately we really cant give you an upgrade do to our booing and inventory logs. But i can assure you we have revised the quality control process for the SA1s and this should be your last replacement you need. We are working on a redesign that should be released in 2010 so if you run into issues again we will happily replace it with the new design."
My replacement unit has showed up and the build quality is noticeably tighter. I have run them through a burn in time of 100 hours and the sound quality is superb as well. Knowing that they are moving manufacturing back to the USA, and have tightened up quality control, I no longer have a problem recomending these to anyone. They are simply some of the best dynamic driver (micro driver) in ear monitors you can buy. The user replaceable cable alone sets them apart from others in this price range (IE the Klipsch S4's). And the sound quality is better than anything in its price category. Get a set know. I am moving my rating up to 4 stars based on the improvments that Sleek Audio have made, and the fact that their customer service is outstanding. If you ever do have a problem with these headphones, you won't have to worry about dealing with any shady business to get your issues taken care of. They are prompts and respond to email very quickly.
Personally, my only issue with these is fit, due to the fact that I have pretty small ear canals. I have switched to comply foam tips and that did the trick for me. The bass is still there and I get a nice seal with those tips. I just wish Sleek included them with the headphones. Its a pretty cheap fix though.
SECOND UPDATE: 1/23/2010
Read below, then pop back up to this part...
After receiving both my replacement pairs, the first ones I took out of the package only worked for two days again. This time, when ever I insert the right earphone it has a crack as if the driver is blown, and I know I didn't overdrive them, as I would probably be deaf if I had. I have not even tried the third set and plan on returning them. Shelley in there customer service department has been wonderful to deal with, but these just are not going to work out for me.
I can't seem to get the fit right either. I usually need the smallest ear tips, but with these the small and medium dual flange tips keep coming off inside my ear. More than once I had to pull them out with tweezers. Not fun. The sound, when I was able to use them, was decent for a micro driver, but hearing it back to back with my ultimate ears super.fi 3 studio's it doesn't compare to a well balanced armature. You can pick up a rebranded 3 studio that says altec lansing on it (UHP336) right now for $39 with free shipping, my suggestion is to give those a shot first. They sound better, fit better, and so far have lasted longer for me.
Overall, I have come to the final conclusion that these in ear headphones are just OK. Nothing amazing, and nothing my set of Sennhieser CX-300B's can't do. And for less money, the Ultimate Ears (branded as Altec Lansing) sound better and fit better. They also have a replaceable cord, which is the entire reason I got the SA 1s in the first place. Buy with caution.
REVIEW:I purchased these and received them in just three days. I pulled them out of the box, along with the optional W1 Kleer Wireless system from Sleek Audio and was surprised to find ZERO printed documentation. I figured it was on their site. I was wrong. I have emailed the company to find out if I can get a manual (not that I need one or headphones, but the W1 wireless system does require some special operations). I have not heard back, but it is the weekend so I will see what happens on Monday.
I used the headphones while the W1 was charging, and after find the ear tips that fit best and putting in the bass tuning ports, I was VERY pleased with the sound that they produced. They sound every bit as good as headphones twice their price. They come with a nice carrying case as well as six different types of ear tips and both treble and bass tuning ports. You should be able to find a combination that fits your ears physically and sonically.
The HUGE problem I ran into however, was on day two. This morning I was doing some cleaning and thought that it would be good to use them while vacuuming to see how well they block out outside noise. I put them in my ear and the left one felt a bit odd. I pulled it out and realized that the metal end had separated from the rosewood body. I assume this is a fluke and that most of the SA1's shipped will not have this problem. But I am still stuck waiting for a replacement. As mentioned above it is the weekend, so I may very well post a follow up later in the week once I have heard back from their customer service.
As far as the W1 wireless unit goes, I will be returning it. The near loss-less audio, that is lag free, sounds super, but the dongle you have to wear around the back of your neck is heavy enough to pull the earphones out of my ears, and it catch the back of my neck when I turn my head which also dislodges one of the earphones. I had planned on using this while cycling on a dedicated path, but not now.
As the title says, the quality of sound both the wireless and the headphones put out is amazing. Well worth more than Sleek is charging. However, the practicality of the wireless unit and the questionable build quality of the headphones is cause to look at the competition.UPDATE: 1/16/2010
So I am under the impression that my incident was an isolated one, and in dealing with Sleek Audio I have received nothing but the absolute best customer service! I provide customer service for a tech company myself and my dealings with Sleek Audio have been a pleasure. They are prompt to respond and handel issues in a very professional manner. I called the other day to double check on my return shipment headphones and the lady I spoke with was unable to track down a tracking number or shipment information (even though she was pretty sure she had mailed them out the day before.) With no complaining from me, she then decided that she would just two day air me a pair to make sure I got a set. I thanked her and we hung up. About 15 minutes later I had an email confirming the shipping along with a tracking number. About 10 minutes after that I received another email stating that she had indeed mailed the first pair off, but not to worry about it and to keep both. AMAZING! Now don't go expecting them to replace every pair with two sets, but in the instance it was very nice of her to take such good care of me.
Based on my short period of listening to the headphones (then going back to both my cheap ass skull candy in ear headphones, and a low end in ear Sennhieser model) I can say these are WELL WORTH THE MONEY! And if my new set breaks I have no worries that I will quickly and easily be able to get the item replaced. I will update again once I have a little more listening time in. In the mean time I have updated my review to 4 stars as I feel these are excellent headphones, but may have some long term reliability issues. Only time will tell though.

I bought these speakers and the Sound Blaster wireless audio transmitter for my son for Christmas. I plugged in the speakers and hooked them up via the direct audio cable to gauge the sound. I thought I had to install the software and pair the speakers to get them running on wireless but as I plugged in the transmitter I thought I would just uplug the audio cable to see what happens. Sure enough the music from his laptop was streaming wirelessly to the speakers. The sound is clear and continuous. The base is good enough for a medium-sized room. There was some distortion when you crank the volume up beyond about three quarters but that was the only drawback. Remeber this is only through the usb transmitter and no additional stations were needed for same room sound.

Satechi Bluetooth Hands-free Car Stereo Fm Transmitter for iPhone 4, 3Gs & 3G, iPod Touch 4G, BlackBerry, HTC EVO, DROID, Samsung Galaxy S and Bluetooth Stereo A2DP supported Devices Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
After a extensive research, I decided to buy the Satechi Bluetooth FM Transmitter, mainly to reduce cables in my car and play audio via Bluetooth and FM. The unit also had a USB Power Supply, a useful feature that would supply juice to my iPhone 3Gs.
Setup was fairly easy.
Once you plug the device into the cigarette lighter, it automatically searches for a Bluetooth device. On my iPhone, it showed "Carkit". I entered the passcode (this is the only time I used the manual) and the connection was made. First thing I tried was playing music. I was impressed with the sound quality, like a good fm station. With excitement, I instantly called my wife. She said she could hear me clearly, like calling from my office landline.
However, her voice sounded very low even I turned the volume all the way up on my stereo. When I was losing all my hopes, I found out I can turn on the volume of Bluetooth sound via the volume buttons on the left hand side of the iPhone. I called my wife again and turned iPhone's volume all the way up, and voila! I could hear her nice and crisp now. Last thing I tried was charging my iPhone via the USB supply. Voila, again! :) It was charging my iPhone. This device met all my expectations.
One issue I realized after using the unit is that if you get a call and answer from your iPhone, the call goes to your iPhone instead of the Bluetooth device. However, if you answer the call using the answer button on the Bluetooth device, you get the call from Bluetooth. This bothered me a little bit. I made a research on the net and found that this is an issue that happened after the 3.0 update, nothing related to Satechi Bluetooth device.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase. Satechi Bluetooth FM Transmitter is a solid device with a reasonable price tag. I strongly recommend it to iPhone 3Gs owners.
Pros
-Make calls and listen to music wirelessly

-Didn't need it yet, but "aux in" can be used to plug other iPods

Maybe you will get lucky as some reviewers have with this product, but I think most buyers will feel they didn't even get their 4 dollars worth. This is as junky as you would imagine. The sound is constantly cutting off and will come back sometimes if you wiggle it enough. I should have known better and now you should too. Stay away.

Philips SWW1800/27 Wireless HDTV Link Review

Philips SWW1800/27 Wireless HDTV Link
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Philips SWW1800/27 Wireless HDTV Link actually works as advertised, transmitting the output of up to four high definition devices across a room without wires. It is simple to install and requires absolutely zero configuration. Plug it in and it works.
Philips gets bonus points for including an HDMI cable. This the first high definition device I've used that actually comes with one. I hope other manufacturers follow their lead.
I tested the device in my home, transmitting the output of a high definition camcorder and a few other devices approximately thirty feet across my living room to a plasma television.
Below are my observations. I am happy to answer additional questions left in the comment section.
DISTANCE:
This is strictly designed to be a "short haul" device. It does not have the range of a cordless phone or wireless internet router, but it does accomplish the goal of allowing video components to be located dozens of feet away from a television. It worked fine in the largest room in my home, but it did not work when I located the transmitter in an adjacent room.
CONNECTORS:
There are four inputs on the transmitter, two HDMI and two component. Note that the two component video inputs do not have digital audio connectors, so only stereo analog audio can be transmitted back to the television on those ports. Digital audio transmits perfectly through the two HDMI connectors.
IMAGE QUALITY
I tested the device with a number of components, including an HDV camcorder connected over component video cable, an upconverting DVD player connected via HDMI, and a Flip Camera connected via HDMI. Everything looked great at a thirty foot transmit distance with no noticeable degradation.
VIDEO GAME COMPATIBILITY
The Philips Wireless HDTV link does not recompress video so there are no noticeable delays between a button press and a reaction on screen.
The device will only support consoles that transmit over component video or HDMI. Newer Xbox 360s and Playstation 3 consoles have HDMI ports. The Wii does not support HDMI, but its optional component cable will work. The original Xbox, Gamecube, and some Playstation 2 consoles can work via optional component cables but older consoles will not work and will need to be directly connected to the television.
TELEVISION COMPATIBILITY
This device requires the television have an available HDMI port. Many older HDTVs are lacking HDMI connectors so you'll want to ensure your television supports HDMI before purchasing.
NO AV DEVICE CONTROL
This is strictly a video transmitter, it will not pass commands to your components. It also adds another remote control to your collection.
CONFIGURATION
There isn't any. Select the device and it shows up on the screen if the transmitter is in range. It simply transmits whatever the device wants to send to the television.
CONCLUSION
This is an expensive device but it works as advertised. In some cases it may be cheaper to hire a professional to install your home theater system and hide its associated cables. But if that's not an option this device will accomplish the task. It works beautifully and is surprisingly simple to set up.

The transmitter requires external power supply which is not included, though product description forgets to state that. I wanted to order power supply for extra money but couldn't find one. I even couldn't return it, because ANTonline didn't authorize return, but this is another story :-)

Ensure the instructions are in English, I enjoy the aspect of ordering products from other countries but I warn consumers you may wish to ensure the product comes from America not an America company that sells foreign goods in a foreign language. Well it has been about 5 weeks now and many features of this product is unknown to me, the reason is that the entire instructions came written in Chinese. True there is a menu in english, however try to seek selections of the menu and it is written in Chinese. There is a menu for movies, but it is in Chinese. There is a menu for the equilzer, it is in Chinese. The device does play ok but because the fine tuning is in Chinese, I do not know what I am doing. I can not load movies because the instructions are in Chinese. Although the product does state it can do a lot of things that most people are interested in even the instructions were too brief. With everything that the device says it can do there are only 12 lines of instruction. Unless the entire Chinese language is in picture/letters, I would hardly doubt that even if I did speak/read Chinese that the brief instructions would explain the full features of the product. I think I will choose a Sony or other companies that sell their oversees products in a language of the people to whom will use their product. I will keep this until I reorder a different product with instructions in English. Then I will toss it.
