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.
