• Reviewed by: rkayuha

  Strengths: Easy to install

  Weaknesses: Poor sound quality and very poor support

  Overall: I connected the Soundblaster to my wireless network with no real problem. The quality of sound it produced was terrible...constant static, a deep base added, and an incredible humming. I searched their knowledgebase for support and could find nothing about static or humming. The only problems I could find dealt with getting the network connection working. When I contacted customer support I was told I could purchase a tutorial session for $13. I don't need a tutorial to know that this product does not work! Do not make my mistake and buy it!

  Strengths: Good sound quality, easy set up

  Weaknesses: Average range

  Overall: I just followed the instructions, and then I was up and running. At the beginning I just did not understand why I was getting such lousy reception with this. But I realized that rnage of this device is only average. I am getting a radius of about only 15 feet good coverage.Sound quality is excellent. No drops. No distortion. Best of all I can stand at my PC to select music and without crawling into my wiring closet.Overall I recommend this device if range is not important to you.

  Strengths: Great sound quality

  Weaknesses: Limited range

  Overall: First of all it is very easy to set up the system. RF remote with LCD is very useful hooked up the sound blaster to my Onkyo receiver via analog cable. The sound was impressive playing mp3. Range of the unit is disappointing. It definitely needs improvement. If you plan to use a high end stereo receiver, or powered speakers, this is a great product. Otherwise you should look for another brand or wait for the improved version.

  Strengths: Cool remote with LCD interface. Ease to setup. Great product at a reasonable price.

  Weaknesses: Issue with connecting to my wireless G network.

  Overall: In the beginning, I had some compatibility issues with my wireless router when configuring the device but after a minor inconvenience on the set up, this unit works flawlessly. The smart playlist feature is very cool. Sound quality is outstanding, the LCD remote is clear and easy to read and simple to navigate through. In my opinion this is a great product.

  Strengths: Grrreat remote and this compact system delivers exactly what is advertized.

  Weaknesses: Would have been nice to also have streaming audio.

  Overall: I am very pleased with this system. The remote gives me access to my entire collection of CDs which I have on my hard drive. This is the second system I have tried and it performs great. Backlighting the remote is a touch of class that makes it much easier to use. The only thing I would have liked to see would have been the ability to broadcast streaming audio to my stereo system.
