EOS 100RB Additional Black Wireless Remote Speaker for use with EOS base System Review

EOS 100RB Additional Black Wireless Remote Speaker for use with EOS base System
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this unit to accompany the main base unit (EOS 100T1RB Wireless Audio System.) I have both wireless speakers (the base unit comes with one) set up in my house which is made primarily of cement and metal rebar. Like any other wireless device (cordless phone or WIFI network) the signal strength does break down with increased distance in this type of home. To my amazement these speakers function quite well in this difficult environment. In a house composed of wood, I would fully expect them to reach the range of manufacturer.
On to the important stuff. I would have given this product five stars, but my only ding is the lack of deep rich base; I'm a purist and like to feel and hear my deep rich base. But I tell you honestly, for the price and the concept these speakers can't be touched. They have amazingly rich sound in the mid and upper range and the independent volume adjustment of each speaker allows you to blend the music evenly depending on your listening environment. The speakers have a plug that either remains affixed to the back and you plug the speaker directly into the wall (think night light style, covers plug) or you can remove the plug and it has about a three foot wire lead that allows you to place the speaker on a table or as I have them, on pillars, (covered) outdoors.
While this review isn't specifically for the main docking station, I'll take a minute to speak on that as well. The docking station is very user friendly and really has a strong sound. The remote controls both the volume and with my Nano, play, pause, skip forward and backward. All of the units have a soft blue light in the antenna for the wireless system and they glow when the units are turned on. The main base unit can support up to four wireless speakers (three additionally purchased.) Also important, this unit can be used with other non-Ipod MP3 players or the like. There is an auxiliary cord that can be plugged into the headphone jack of just about any other player and can be run through the docking station (BONUS.) Finally if you do have an Ipod family player, the docking station does charge the player when in the cradle.
All in all, while not the cheapest docking station on the market (did you really think a wireless unit would be under $15 at your discount store) the concept is novel and the sound quality is defiantly worth the investment. With the flexibility to move the speakers from plug to plug, you can customize your listening arenas.

Eos Wireless Stereo Speakers Wireless multi-room audio has never been easier. Just plug an Eos wireless speaker into any wall outlet, inside or out and turn up the volume...that's all. Want to move your music to another place? Just unplug it and plug it in somewhere else, it's that easy. The Eos base station allow you to add up to four wireless speakers anywhere around your home. The rugged design of the Eos wireless stereo speakers makes them perfect for indoor or outdoor use.
Speaker Design The design of the wireless remote speaker features a removable, integrated power supply that allows the speaker to mount directly on a wall power outlet without mounting brackets. By removing the power supply from its cavity on the rear of the cabinet, the stereo remote speaker can sit independently on a counter top or bookshelf. The supported surround sound feature improves dynamic audio performance, expands the size of the audio image and improves low frequency sounds.

The system comes backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty.

SIRIUS Stratus 6 Dock-and-Play Radio with Car Kit (Black) Review

SIRIUS Stratus 6 Dock-and-Play Radio with Car Kit (Black)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this to replace an Audiovox PNP2 radio purchased in 2004...after wasting tons of time and effort trying to make it continue to work properly. I had purchased three home docks and one auto dock for the PNP2 so I was not thrilled when it started to fail. I could not get consistient reception with the PNP2 even after placing the antennae in various places outside my home. I even bought an antenna extender so I could place the antenna on the roof, free from obstruction...no dice. I listen to Sirius all day long so reception problems were driving me nuts!
I ordered the Stratus 6 (with car kit) and a home kit from Amazon because they had the lowest pricing and free shipping. I only ordered one home kit to be sure everything worked properly. After spending a short time connecting everything to a receiver on the first floor I was ready to take the antenna outside for a test when, to my surprise, I heard music! The new antenna was pulling a signal from inside the house! I was completely floored and soon realized that the technology has been enhanced quite a bit since the days of the PNP2. I now keep the unit on top of an organ next to the receiver and keep the antenna curled up, pointing at a wall, and I get all three reception bars! Moving to another stereo in another part of the house is so simple that I don't even need to purchase additional docks. I wish I hadn't waited so long.
The car kit is just as great...I plugged the supplied 3.5mm to 3.5mm connector to my AUX IN, ran the antenna through to the trunk, and found a convenient spot on the dash for the dock. WAY better reception than the crappy PNP2 car dock!
I was able ot transfer my lifetime subscription to the new unit in about five minutes ($75 fee for that but worth it to call all the way to India for assistance ;-)
The blue display is so easy to read and the 10 pre-sets are adequate to get me around the dial quickly. Sound is stellar! I highly recommend this unit!

Pyle PIFMDK6 i-Pyle Series iPod Docking Station with 200 Channel FM Transmitter and Flexible Goose Neck Stand Review

Pyle PIFMDK6 i-Pyle Series iPod Docking Station with 200 Channel FM Transmitter and Flexible Goose Neck Stand

We gave the Pyle Series Ipod Docking Station with FM Transmitter the Road Trip test over Christmas. This product is made of sturdy plastic, the extended coil was necessary as our truck outlets are at the base of the dashboard. The transmitter rested securly on the console, held the my Ipod Nano tightly inplace allowing for excellent sound quality. It did not charge my nano, however when we listened to Kyles Ipod Classic it did charge the classic? The Classic is heavy and we were concerned the connection over time could cause problems, so we placed a 2.5 inch piece of insulation which allows the classic to rest on something soft and not bounch around. The sound quality from the Classic was not as good as the Nano. We only changed stations once as we traveled from Western Washington to Eastern Washington which in my mind is pretty good. You do need to have a navigator change the music settings the way we have, it set up you are reading upside down. All in All a good product, did what it said it would, and at a good price. We both like it, and continue to use it.
