JBL has it right: A Wireless Speaker replacement

for once a company has got it right on the money.

the JBL product is sensible enought for me to consider actually shelling out some money to purchase this gizmo, but i am really interested in the effect that attenuation due to distance and obstacles will have on this device.

This is becasue i have a 2.4 GHz wireless phone at home, and it is very noise once you are a certain distance from the headset.

Also, my parents house is rather big and thus i find that the number of obstacles increases the further into the house i retreat, resulting in hissing on the line.

will the JBL result in this kind of hissing due to interference or does the circuitry have the type of error correction circuitry? also is it all digital or just a wireles analog linkup ie not a WiFi attached to a bunch of speakers?

Otherwise, this is really a good product as i have always wanted to cut all those wires

Sounds great but 2.4 GHz?

I'm pretty fired about about wireless speakers that can product high quality sound, but won't 2.4 GHz speakers interfere with wireless routers? I had to upgrade my 2.4 GHz phones to 5.8 GHz because of the interference caused with wireless routers that use the same frequency band...

Why a transmitter?

But you're still tethered to a transmitter. Why can't they release a speaker set
that talks with the computer through the wireless router, as if it were a tiny little
computer or something.

Yeah it would only work when you're listening to music on your computer, but
still..
