 Works flawlessly--even with my 2.4GHz wireless network November 29, 2008
I've had it for about a month and it works great. Opened the box, plugged in the USB cable and voila--music streaming wirelessly. It was really that easy. And it's much cheaper than a Sonos unit for ~$1,000, although I'm sure the Sonos product has it's advantages.
Also, my ATT U-Verse router is 2.4 GHz, but I do not notice any interference with the sound or my network. According to the documentation, it comes with a "sniffer" that finds an unused channel on the frequency, and it seems to work.
My only annoyance is that you can only play sound on your computer speakers OR the Xmod. But this is a Windows issue, not a defect of the product. It seems that Windows will only recognize one sound device at a time, so I've created a desktop shortcut to let me switch between the two. It's not a big deal.
Overall, I think it works exactly as advertised.
 great idea, didn't work November 16, 2008

when i plugged in the components on my computer, the computer made a very loud buzz and it did not work. the tech support people were of no help.
 It has potential... to screw up your wireless network November 10, 2008

Bought the Wireless XMOD after I bought a new wireless router (DLink DIR-655). Wife's macbook could access the wireless network fine until I hooked up the XMOD.
Apparently the Creative Wireless interferes with other things in the 2.5ghz spectrum.
Called Creative. There is no way to disable the wireless feature. I even removed the wireless module from inside the XMOD and my system wouldn't recognize it any longer. Put the module back in and covered the XMOD with aluminum foil, hoping to create a sort of Faraday cage... Didn't help.
It's as good as garbage right now.
Works on the sound bar, not on the MP3. November 3, 2008
I was worried this wouldn't work with my new Philips Sound Bar - but no problem! I used the RCA jacks (red/white) on the back of the X-FI receiver. The volume isn't quite a high as normal on either the PC or the Sound Bar, but it's not a problem. Hook up was very simple. Now I have music upstairs and down - love it! My MP3 didn't work well at all on this, though. The music was very muted, as though it needed more power. I didn't really buy it for that purpose, so am not so disappointed.
Creative Xmod wireless November 2, 2008
Just got it...could hardly wait. It was so worth it. I have been jealous of my friend with his Mac and Apple Airport Extreme but, not anymore. The transmitter is a bit large for a laptop, but oh well...the quality is awesome. Those negative reviews are so far off base. It seems those individuals do not understand what it is meant to do. This item comes with little instruction (just Ikea-style diagrams),which scared me a bit, but no worries, it is that easy. Plug, plug and play. No drivers, no loading, no frustration. it simply works beautifully from the get go.
Sound is amazing, clear and unobstructed,I am using with a wirless router and though there are warnings about placement, it is not an issue for me. Remotes work well with little drag time. X-fi effects are great (try with headphones OMG).I am so happy with this item and add to that, It came direct from Creative at a tremendous discount!! Go ahead, buy without regret and enjoy the music!!
