Digital camera Review: Acoustic Research AW822 900 Outdoor WIreless Speaker
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife is hearing impaired so she had always had the T.V. turned-up so loud it is worrisome to me. She found wireless earphones uncomfortable so we purchased this wirelees speaker system as a substitute. It works perfectly for our needs as she can move it closer to her ear wherever she is located in the T.V. room. It is light weight and easily moved from room to room whenever we chose to do so. The sound quality is excellent,thus serving our needs perfectly in every way.Digital camera Review: Acoustic Research know the how to

This rugged outdoor speaker is perfect for listening to ball games while I'm working in my garage or for background music when I'm on the deck enjoying the pool/hot tub. The neighbors surely appreciate that I don't have to open my window and crank my stereo to get the sound to carry outside anymore. I love the fact that the wireless speaker stops the sound from coming out the main speakers, as the other reviewer points out. I find it to be an advantage, not everyone in the house wants to hear play-by-play sports commentary. Also, if you spend a couple bucks at the local Radio Shack, you could most likely get an adapter to jack into the stereo's speaker output. That is, if you're trying to add speakers to you system, rather than transmitting the signal to this wireless speaker, (which is how the product is designed to work). The setup is a cinch, I was out the box and rolling in 5 minutes flat. The auto tuner and frequency lock are great features; they really take care of the static, (900Mhz is a heavily used frequency). If these feature don't get rid of the static, completely, moving the transmitter around will. The sound quality is fair, but not astonishing. I optimized the sound quality by playing a bit with the levels on the stereo, transmitter, and the speaker itself and I'm quite satisfied with the results. Powering the speakers by batteries makes this speaker really versatile, but if your parties frequently last till three in the morning you can always plug the speaker directly into the wall, (take the batteries out first though, unless they're rechargeable). I'm thinking of adding another speaker to my arsenal, this spring, so I can party to omni directional sound in stereo.Digital camera Review: Amazing for the price

I purchased these speakers for my husband's birthday based on the reviews I read here. Not difficult at all to set up and the sound is quite good. The receiver is not close to the speaker location, but there have been no problems with either cable or CD reception. A little more hassle to adjust sound, turn off, etc. than indoor sound system, but that is all run by remote. Recommended, especially for such a reasonable price.Digital camera Review: Amazing quality and value

I had read all the reviews for these speakers before my purchasing them. I already knew from when I was in my early twenties that AR (Acoustic Research) made great speakers but I didn't expect that these, for the price, would be that great. I was wrong. Look, they are not $500.00 Bose, but you won't be dissatisfied. I love that you can plug them into your computer and listen to your downloads in a shuffle mode enjoying uninterrupted music. I also love the little switch on the transformer to change the frequency if interference interrupts the transmission. I had them on the deck during the summer and people at my summer party had remarked how great they were. I also want to say that because of the quality,I will probably be buying another two by the end of the year to place in other rooms. Nice Job AR!Digital camera Review: As expected

The one draw back is it cannot be turned off at the speaker. At least this one I have kept coming back on until I turned off the music at the source or unplugged the wireless station. There is a popping noise at times, but it's not too distracting. I just change the I.R. station. The sound is surprisingly good.
