Outdoor Wireless Speaker System Review
The base unit has easy to use functions for volume , source input and a button for muting the system. The base unit controls the audio functions. It toggles for range extension controls any compatibility problems from other wireless networks. The remote is not big but offers the same choices on the iPod.If you want to put the system on shuffle it is easy to do from the remote control. The wireless speakers offer good sound quality with impeccable richness and bass. Some audiophiles will notice a difference compared to Bose units. Adding speakers is a benefit and is straightforward. Wireless speakers find the base unit automatically. Each speaker has adjustable sound. Every room can have its own volume which is a nice feature. Some wireless speaker systems do not allow this capability.
Eos uses what they call Gigawave technology. It uses different frequencies that let the system operate without interference from other wireless networks. Some wireless speaker systems have interference problems but not this unit. The overall range is 150 feet so it will work in most houses. There have been some complaints that the range actually operates below that from some customers.
The range extension feature is meant to combat this problem but usually helps the sound output not the range. Overall the Eos system is a good wireless speaker system. It is not meant as a replacement for a stereo unit but as a expandable music system for today"s wireless world. The price is around $200 but it is possible to find it on sale online.
