Consumer review (newegg.com)

No Remote

Consider purchasing the CABLES UNLIMITED wireless speakers w/remote from Newegg.

Good sound quality and broadcast range

Does not have a remote for adjusting volume. It is kind of a pain to independently adjust the volume of each speaker

Good Speakers

I didn't buy my first set at Newegg, and actually got them cheaper... But the shipping wasn't as good.

Good functionality for the price. Very portable. Great in our bookcase. Recharges batteries while you plug it in

Set up is slightly non intuitive (I did read the manual, but getting the speakers tuned to the correct reception took some practice). Very fast thumpy songs will actually interfere with the reception from the speakers. The speaker is powerful enough to...

AR AW-871

Some sound in the other room is better than no sound at all.

Easy to set up; easy to use; just what the doctor ordered. I like to listen to music throughout my solo law office, sometimes just to have "company." I have several computers that play streamed music, but they're always out-of-synch. So I decided to...

Audiovox AW-871 Wireless Stereo Speaker System

I agree with the other reviews posted here. There is a slight hum with these speakers, but it's barely noticeable. I bought rechargeable batteries for my speakers and have been pleased with how they work. The batteries last for hours, so if I want to...

Audiovox AW-871 Wireless Stereo Speaker System

Make sure when you connect the transmitter you push the power cord in until it clicks. I thought I had the power cord pushed in all the way and still could not get the blue light on the transmitter to light up. I thought it was the connection to my...

Lynn Schissler

The AR AW871 wireless speaker set is in my home shop repeating the sound from my home theater setup (satellite TV and megachangers loaded with CD's, etc.). The sound quality is OK (somewhat boomy and slightly muffled), but not suitable for critical...
