Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)When I received the SoundLink for my birthday yesterday, I wasn't quite sure if it would work very well, but I just installed it in all of 5 minutes, and it sounds wonderful. I did not need to read the directions at all - the installation is quite painless and intuitive. Here's how things work:
The system comes with two little black boxes - one is a transmitter and one a receiver. Each is clearly marked and powered by either batteries or a power adapter. I was afraid that the adapters would be the bulky kind and not fit on my power strips, but they were actually relatively slim and fit nicely. The transmitter plugs into your PC, Mac, or MP3 player through either the headphone jack or the audio out jack, where you'd normally plug in your speakers. The nice thing about the system, as another reviewer mentioned, is that the transmitter has an audio out jack into which you can now plug your speakers, so the music can be playing on whatever stereo you're transmitting to and at your computer as well. Or just your computer. Or just the stereo. No need to plug and unplug.
The receiver sits by your stereo, plugged into a power source or running on batteries. Here you have a choice as well - you can plug the receiver directly into your stereo using the color coded audio cords which are provided, or you can tune your FM receiver to a choice of stations and the receiver will broadcast to your stereo (you'll notice it has a little antenna wire attached). I tried both methods and think the direct route works better for me, but others here have different preferences depending on their location.
So far I've tried the unit with my PC (listening to the radio on the internet), on my iMac (listening to my MP3s on iTunes), and with my iPod. Each worked very well. Granted, as other reviewers have mentioned, the sound is not absolutely perfect, especially at louder volumes, but it sounds darned good. I also used my 900Mhz cordless phone while using the SoundLink, and did not notice any interference. For anyone wishing to listen to internet radio stations away from their computer (marvel of marvels), or wanting to listen to their MP3 collection, this is an inexpensive, cordless, and effective solution. I'm very pleased with my birthday present!
