Customer Review: Good strip; but seems rather cheap quality.
When I saw this; I first thought this would be great for my computer as I have one from monster that's similiar (and 3 times the price (I purchased this for $50.00)). When I got it home, I was a little disappointed in the quality of it. It's very lightweight; not at all as sturdy as I would have thought from looking at it. Having said that; it does what it promises and I do like it a lot! For the price, you can't go wrong (assuming it stays around $50.00 ;) )
Customer Review: Item received not item pictured or described
Product description indicates this unit comes with a 9 foot power cord...which is why I ordered it. Unit I received had 6 foot power cord. Unit shipped also does not come with the accessories indicated in description. No coax, no phone cable. I contacted seller and will update this review after I see how they plan to correct this. Update 8/26: Seller indicated they did have the same model with the 9 foot cord and indicated accessories, but refused to send replacement until I returned the incorrect one. They then sent an email with return instructions insisting I would have to PAY for insured return shipping!! They acknowledged there was a model with a 9 foot cord as advertised in their specs, and that they did not send me that model, but did not seem to find any fault with themselves? Beware the east coast online electronics retailers!! Took advantage of Amazon A-Z Guarantee and had my refund in 3 days. AMAZON'S CUST SERVICE IS ALWAYS NO HASSLE AND AWESOME!! I always buy items that indicate "Shipped from and sold by Amazon" when possible, but took a chance this time. Who came through....47th Street Photo? NO!! Amazon did!!


A wireless speaker home theater system allows you the freedom to place your speakers anywhere in a room without having to figure out how to hide the speaker wires.

There are two types of wireless speaker home theater systems - add-on systems and integrated systems.

Add-On Wireless Home Theater System

If you already have a home theater system you can purchase an add-on system consisting of a transmitter, a receiver, and surround-sound speakers if you don't already have them.

The transmitter is connected to the home theater amplifier and sends out the audio signal to a receiver. The receiver, which is connected to the rear speakers, picks up the signal from the transmitter and sends it to those speakers.

Most wireless home theater systems have front speakers and a subwoofer that are connected to the amplifier with audio cables, and rear speakers that are connected to the receiver to create surround-sound audio.

You can purchase a decent amplifier/receiver system for less than $100.

Integrated Wireless Home Theater System

If you're in the market for a new wireless home theater system, you can purchase a complete system consisting of an amplifier with built-in transmitter, a front center speaker, two front side speakers, a subwoofer, and two rear surround-sound speakers. Some systems also include a DVD player.

Prices for an integrated wireless home theater system start at $175 and go up to $2,000.

Comparing Wireless Home Theater Systems

The best way to get the best price on a wireless home theater system is to try them out in person, then go comparison shopping online.

Start by taking a trip to your local discount or electronics store so you can try out the various wireless home theater system models. Test the controls and listen to the models in your price range until you find the one you like best.

After you find a system you like, go home, fire up your computer, and start comparison shopping online.

Comparing models and prices at an online comparison shopping site will save you countless hours of going store to store or surfing all the Internet stores. Here, in one place, you can find prices for everything under the sun from hundreds of online and offline stores.

The comparison shopping site I use will not only give you a price comparison on wireless home theater systems, it will also give you product specifications, reviews by audio experts, and consumer reviews by people who actually own the product so you'll know how good the system is.

When you find the store with the lowest price, you can get consumer reviews of that store so you'll know if it's reputable and will give you good service.

Some stores even have a lowest-price guarantee so if you find a better price later you can get a rebate on the price difference from that store.

I've purchased a number of high-ticket items this way and have always gotten good service and a great price.
