Amazon.com Product Description
Chances are there's one or two places at home where you'd love to enjoy music without having to go to the trouble of laying the speaker wire (or drilling the holes) to get it there. And, short of strapping on a pair of headphones, your options are pretty limited. Fret no more: The WSP150 wireless powered speaker system from RCA lets you import music from CD, radio, DVD, or virtually any audio source to nearly any room in the house--the range is about 150 feet, even through most walls and floors. The WSP150 uses the FM (frequency-modulation) technique employed in radio to transmit audio to the two speakers, each of which houses its own 2-watt amplifier. The speakers each offer a roll-on power/volume switch and a tone control/bass boost button. The system comes with two main parts: the transmitter and the speakers, all of which require close proximity to an AC outlet, unless you opt to battery-power the speakers--perfect for outdoor use in nice weather (requires four D batteries per speaker, not included). The transmitter plugs into a wall outlet and hooks into your desired audio source via a single stereo minijack-to-RCA cable (supplied). Be aware that with no master balance knob, the two speakers must be manually adjusted for equal volume. What's in the Box
A transmitter, two stereo speaker/receivers, two DC power adapters (6V, for speakers), one DC power adapter (19V, for transmitter), an 8-inch Y cable adapter (.125-inch minijack to two RCA-type plugs), user's manual, and warranty information.

 Had No Problem December 2, 1999

I purchased these speakers prior to reading the negative review and, needless to say, was prepared for the worst. I began setting them up, and was having problems getting a good signal and thought 'Oh well, guess this was a waste of money.' But then I realized I had the wrong AC power supply hooked up to the transmitter (there are 3 power supplies - each specific to the transmitter and speakers.) Once I corrected the supply problem, the speakers worked beautifully. I use them as my surround speakers at a distance of around 30 feet from the transmitter. Few negatives - the sound is a little hot and tinny, even with the bass boost button on (but for 80 bucks, sounds great) and even though the speakers are capable of running on 4 D batteries each (not supplied), the batteries will die quickly (24 hours of use or so). But overall, I am quite pleased and find them to be a great deal.
 Medium success December 20, 1999

I bought these to use as rear channel surround speakers after reading the positive and negative customer reviews. The biggest caveat I have is that I expected traditional speaker wire connections and found, upon opening the box, the connection is either through the headphone jack or via RCA connectors (red/white). Neither option provides the channel separation for them to be used as I intended. They are easy to install, but we have a 900MHz cordless phone and a baby monitor and there are static bursts that pop into the speakers intermittently. When dialed in, they provide decent sound for the money. We're going to hang on to them and try them out on the deck next summer.
 What a bust November 7, 1999

It is this simple. Don't buy this product. After trying for 10 hours through my stereo, both TV's and portable CD I could not get a listenable signal. This was a very frsutrating experience. I want to try some other brands but am skeptical of the whole thing now. If anyone has had success with 900 mhz speakers let me know. The only good thing about this was Amazon's customemr service. They were, as always, excellent. I am just upset my deck will still be without tunes.
Kept losing signal February 5, 2003

I bought these speakers for a new home theater system so I wouldn't have to string cable all over my room for the surround speakers. When playing an "active" movie (i.e., lots of action) they worked great. When the action died down and there was only talking or no talking, the speakers would lose their signal and got loud static. Once the movie returned to louder activities, the signal popped in again.OK for music, but not as good for home theater since sound levels do not remain constant.
 Works, but hard to get a good signal December 22, 2003

Got them working. Sound is OK, but there is some intermittent static. the signal sometimes fades (which leads to losing sound and gaining static). Bad part is the "tuner." You essentially turn a rotary dial on the transmitter to transmit to a certain channel (although you never know which one, just turn til something works). After tuning the transmitter you have to tune the receiving speakers as well which has a similar rotary knob. If you can't get a good, steady signal you just play with the knobs until something works. Can be very time consuming and may not work for everybody depending on the electronics in your house and what your house is made from (might interfere with the signal). Also, what works for one speaker (knob location wise) might not work with the other speaker. I got the first speaker to tune in almost perfectly about 5 seconds after turning it on. 10 minutes later i'm still working on getting the second speaker to get as good of a signal.
It would have been MUCH better if you could just select something like chanel 1 through 11 via something that "clicks" so you know you are exactly on the right channel and dont have to mess with 3 different knobs to get all 3 pieces of hardware to work together.
I gave the product 2 stars instead of more because of the difficulties in getting a good, strong, steady signal that didn't break up. If the signal had been steady I would have given the product a good 4 stars because the sound is quite acceptable (if you can get it tuned in well).
