Great speakers for a great price August 4, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
After some research I finally ordered these speakers through Buy.com. Note that each AW822 comes as one speaker with one transmitter, so in order to get stereo you need 2 speakers. And yes, they are stereo speakers - each speaker can be set to left, right or mono operation. Each speaker has individual volume control and on/off switch.
Positive points:
good sound, and with 7.5W per speaker a good volume.
Signal transmission is good (I am using it outdoors in the patio, with transmitter in a room at the other end of the house).
Speakers appear to be weatherproof (left them outside in torrential rain and still working..)
No interference through other devices.
Negative points:
Very occasionally the signal can get lost. If this happens or the transmitter blanks out then there is an annoying static sound from the speakers.
If operating on batteries: each speakers needs 8 C batteries... so I got 16 C batteries for the two speakers. Batteries hold the charge very long, at least several hours (I got rechargeable batteries - recharge automatically whenever the speakers are plugged into the AC adapter).
Conclusion: great outdoor speakers for a reasonable price, would definitely recommend them !!

We have found that these speakers work very satisfactorily on our summer screened in porch some distance from the audio source..
 Excellent outdoor option July 20, 2008

Sound great for outdoor patio/balcony use, or other smaller areas. Easiest to use and work best if your stereo has a second line out. Also, if you plan to use these completely cordless, you'll probably want to invest in rechargeable batteries (speakers can recharge them, battery replacement requires a screw driver). Don't forget the cost of the batteries - good batteries can cost more than the speakers!

This works great for me. I use it to listen to computer radio when I am out back (75 feet away) in my garage. the sound is really good, even though it is just mono. I had originally thought I would buy a second speaker if it worked for me, but the sound is good enough as it is.

Split the audio coming out back of satillite,
Then hooked one set to surround system, other to this wireless speaker transmitter.
Did not get this to use as rear set for surround, but did notice there was a delay between wired system and this unit while setting up, as I would have expected.
So I don't think would work for that.
I use it outdoors for satillite radio channels while working.
Is fantastic for this as it has setting for mono.
I don't need stereo outside anyway.
Worstbuy is running a scam on ebay selling this as two speakers, is only one.
Would be neet to have another one out in shop playing same music from inside.
Oh...great for camping too.
