Acoustic Research AWD205 Wireless Stereo Headphones (Black) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought two of these from Electronic Express through Amazon.com. Both were delivered in good shape and at first everything looked and sounded great. But both of these units had defects in that they would not recharge properly when connected to the transmitter / charger. When the batteries had power, the sound was absolutely fantastic, but they were not of much good if they don't recharge properly. I also was upset about the return, i.e., they did give me my purchase price back, but I had to pay the return shipping for not one but two defective products. All worked out well, however, thanks to Amazon.com, they gave me credit for the return shipping and applied it against my subsequent purchase of a 2 pair of Sony Wireless Headphones. I have had a number of problems with Audiovox recently, so they are not in my buy list anymore. One other thing. The transmitter / charger is so light, it is difficult to not turn it over when plugging in the headphones.

Logitech Wireless DJ Music System Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are a person who is interested in high-fidelity sound reproduction, this device is NOT for you.
I was hoping it had some of the qualities of the "Squeezebox" or at least something close, I was wrong.
From what I can find on the internet this device uses the "SBC codec for Bluetooth Audio" to transmit audio from the computer to your stereo receiver. SBC is an audio coding system specially designed for Bluetooth audio at medium bit rates, and having a low computational complexity. Judging from the quality of sound, my guess is that the bitrate is approximately 128Kbps.....a far cry from my original music files that are encoded with Apples lossless at a bitrate of about 1000kbps. Don't get me wrong...this device was very hard for me to return. It was a breeze to setup and worked perfectly with my iTunes (after a firmware/software upgrade to Pre-release 3, StreamPoint v1.1.0). The remote is wonderful...east to navigate and good battery life...but has a very short range (less than 40 feet in my house). So, in summary.
The Good:
Easy to setup
Easy to use
Good battery life
The Bad:
Sound quality
Wireless range
So, if you normally listen to music encoded at 128kbs and don't have a long distance requirements for the remote...this device is for you. However, if you like high-fidelity music (or close to it) and you need a remote that will transmit over long distances...pass this one by.
Rumor has it that Logitech will merge the sqeezebox with the DJ Music system remote in the next generation of the Squeezebox...we can only hope.

Belkin TuneStage Bluetooth-Enabled Transmitter for iPod Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This transmitter and receiver is perfect for getting your ipod music onto your stereo system without wires or expensive components. The bluetooth signal works well for short range ( the 33 feet seems accurate as outside limit) and in my case transmits clearly through walls to another room. The only reservation is that the transmitter only works with the two pin headsets for ipods. That is, it works with my older Ipod photo but doesnt fit the newer Ipod video.

The Belkin F8Z901 TuneStage for iPods delivers the pristine, high-quality sound that iPod users desire, through a high-end, home stereo environment. Using advanced Bluetooth v1.2 wireless technology, the TuneStage can transmit from a range of up to 33 feet to your stereo, free of the barriers that limit traditional remotes--such as walls, ceilings or windows. This great new innovation from Belkin lets you roam and play your tunes, from virtually anywhere in your home.
Connected through Belkin's TuneStage, your iPod becomes a premier wireless remote, putting absolute control at your fingertips. The TuneStage transmitter plugs directly into your iPod's remote/headphone connector, and requires no batteries, automatically powering on or off with your iPod.

Sony ALTUS ALT-A33PC - Wireless audio delivery system Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great gadget. I am running windows vista on my desktop and have a sony receiver and this thing works great. Last year I was in my attic running speaker wire from my receiver (indoors) to my outdoor speakers. I was dreading getting back in the attic to run an RCA cable from my computer to my receiver. So my search started. I found this item and boy did it save me a lot of time. I received it yesterday and it took me about 10 min to get this thing up and running. I set mine up by the quick start directions that sony provides. You do not have to load the software sony gives you. I use iTunes with it and it workds great. I can sit on my patio and control my iTunes via my iPhone and relax. O yeah you can also control your volume via your iPhone. I will say that all these products are in close proximity so its hard for me to speak for someone that is trying to run this through out a 2 story house. But for what I need it to do it works flawlessly! The sound quality is very good too in my oppinion.

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Wireless Audio Transmitter and Receiver Bundle Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Having used a myriad of devices from the squeezboox boom and the squeezebox duet system -- as well as a few other devices that are not worth mentioning, I'll say that this is by far the easiest to use, install and operate.
Let me walk you through my set-up ... which took about 10 minutes ...
1. Unpacked the box and did away with all the plastic detritus.
2. Installed and registered the software on my laptop.
3. Plugged in the transmitter to a USB port in the back.
4. Rebooted my laptop, turned on iTunes and played a U2 album.
5. Plugged in the receiver (using a nicer set of cables) to my Sony Stereo Receiver on Aux 3. Was tempted to go optical.
6. Hit the find button on the underside of the little device and walked away.
7. 15 seconds later -- music played.
8. Stuck the batteries in the remote and turned it up.
That simple and absolutely no stumbling blocks to speak of.
Sound Quality? -- Better than I expected for this, but I wasn't looking for Mark Levinson to come out of my office and sit down on the couch with a glass of wine. The sound quality is more than adequate for casual home listening and the better your system is, the better the device will sound to you.
Responsiveness? -- I'm constantly unplugging the transmitter from my laptop and taking off somewhere, only to come back replug it back in, and find it working almost instantly and flawlessly. Windows and iTunes are not always asking questions or looking for drivers. It seems that whatever iTunes needed to do to make this thing be compatible with itself, was worked out ahead of time by Creative Labs and Apple. That's a first.
The Software -- is quite good and quite simple. You can customize it to play in zones, if that's your thing or adjust the quality of the sound and other minor changes. The software, from what I saw, doesn't appear to be a resource hog, nor has it been the culprit of crashes or bluescreens. If you don't use iTunes , you don't like to, or don't want to, this may be the only *real* problem one could face. The good thing is that it doesn't require you to depend on it as a player like other companies, or other devices do.
I can find no fault with this and I'm happy with the success of this device. I use it everyday now and I'm thoroughly pleased.
Well done ... a great idea to give as a gift for young or old as the ease of use with this is simple and the learning curve low. How about that for innovation?
