Eos Converge Wireless USB Transmitter for iPod and iPhone Review

Airport express works great with itunes and does a decent job of syncing between multiple rooms, but it's not perfect and it can get out of sync sometimes. Plus, using the itunes remote had limited capabilities, things I was dying for (pandora, last fm, alarms, sleep timer, etc.).
What I had been dreaming about was a sonos, but I couldn't bring myself to buy it, particularly because I needed (wanted) audio in 5 corners of my house - that would've easily run me $1500. Then I read about this device.
First, let me say that the customer service is amazing. I called and asked them about how good the multi room sync was, within hours I got a response - down to 20 milliseconds, not noticeable. If you have to put it in far range, it can get to 60ms, which you may hear. But at that range, I doubt you'd notice the interference because the rooms are so far apart. In my house, the normal setting works fine, I have a townhouse, 3 listening spots upstairs, two downstairs.
Now, what I had really dreamed about though was the sonos control. So this little device allowed me to take the output of a single sonos and transmit it through the whole house! While I don't have control of the music that goes to individual rooms, each room has its own self powered speaker which I can tweak the volume with. Saved me a ton of money and I finally have the perfect dream system. Plus, I was able to take the money I saved and put it towards better speakers in the living room!

All that said, my only complaint is the blue lights on all the different units. They can get really bright at night and it makes it a little conspicuous. When I get a chance I'm going to dab a bit of paint on all of them to cover that up.
If they're looking to update these in the future, I'd probably add volume controls to each unit.

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.
