very good sound for outdoors. The batteries could last longer.

By whiteysmrs from Worcester, NY on 5/17/2008

It is perfect. It works up to 150 feet from system. I only wish it worked even further. A must have for any outdoor activity. I highly recommend this!

By Ranger Ron from Cleburne, Texas on 5/13/2008

Bought to listen to music while entertaining poolside. Nice design and cool blue light. Limited range and some static if too far from source.

By dave from bristol, ct on 5/9/2008

use it outdoors

By Jennie the Music Chick from San Antonio, TX on 5/9/2008

This product is so easy to set up, it has a great range and the sound is terrific. The fact that you can control volume and bass from the speaker itself is an added plus. Since I purchased this speaker and my friends have heard it, they are all ready to order one.

I've found this item extremely useful and I am planning to buy few more to add to the rooms of my place, my son also enjoy it a lot!nothing wrong about it, for sure!, thanks brookstone!

By Jules from Chicago on 5/2/2008

This is really a wonderful product. Works well outdoors and is easy to connect to your existing stereo.

Great system. My wife got this for me for my birthday and I use it all the time in the backyard and on the deck. Very easy to use and sound quality is great even through a brick wall. Only downside is that sound quality gets a bit distorted at very high volumes (e.g. during large gatherings).

When I heard about this speaker, I have to admit I was skeptical but I thought it was worth a try. Now, I have to say I’m impressed. It does what they say it will do. I had a bid for [$] to add outdoor speakers around my pool, but I wasn’t sure that I wanted music everywhere all the time. With this speaker I can set it in the area where I will be and the sound is great. Two of them will probably cover the whole backyard, so I think I’m even going to buy a second one!

By Fred from Langhorne, PA on 4/25/2008

Water resistant

Very versatile, I use it on the patio, bathroom, garage, take it to the park. Hook it up to my ipod, laptop, tv, xm, main stereo, you name it. I don't have a stereo on my second floor so I take it up there and can listen to the same audio around the entire house.

We first used this wirelessly, and had some trouble with the sound breaking up (due to the distance I'm sure and not a problem with the speaker,) so we plugged in our IPOD. This was good, but the batteries kept shifting and the speaker would turn off and we would have to reseat the batteries. We plug it into a power source when we don't feel like wrestling with our rechargeable batteries. Now we are trying to use this for our projector outdoors and we haven't been able to find an adaptor that is an "L" shape, so my husband had it laying on it's side. This really takes away from the appearance. I wish things plugged into the side and the batteries went into the top somehow so gravity wouldn't keep working against us, and I wish we were able to stand it up and use it with different adaptors. It sounds very good, and we like that it is weather resistant. We've had this for a couple of years, so maybe they have worked out some of these bugs.

By ro from wisconsin on 4/13/2008

This a cool speaker. It is very versatile and easy to operate.The blue light is cool and gives it an old school flavor.

By An outside enthusiast from Connecticut on 4/12/2008

I saw this in the store two months ago and couldn't stop thinking about it. The weather was 70+ today so I went and bought it. Mom and I enjoyed our afternoon tea outside on the deck listening to a CD of singing birds (we couldn't tell the difference between the real birds and what was coming through the speaker). Even the dogs head was going from side to side. Can't wait to get a CD with running water sounds so I don't have to set up the fountain on my deck. Thank you!

I've had my Zune player for well over a year and I haven't been able to find many accessories to use with it. Now this comes along and it's great! I can play all my music, podcasts and even FM radio all over the home and outdoors. I've seen others say the sound wasn't that good, however, mine sounds very good. I'm glad I found this product and I'm very pleased.

By HItry from Vienna, WV on 3/10/2008

I work with a small Christian University and we purchased this speaker to help us in our presentations to donors and various public events. This is a great product in that it takes almost zero set-up time and we can place it in the middle of the room and everyone can hear it!

We are currently considering buying another one so we can work larger halls!

The sound quality is great and adapts well to different kinds of uses. We use it primarily when we show DVD's and presentations using a notbook computer and a projector. We just plug the transimitter into our notebook speaker jack and place the speaker in the center of the room. The 360 degree design allows for all of our guests to hear clearly our presentations. It is unobtrusive and everyone is amazed at the sound!

So far, our experience has been that the range of the unit has exceeded our expectations and we have never suffered from any kind of interference or fading during a presentation.

I have no problem in recommending this product to anyone.

We have been using this speaker for about two months. It was easy to set up and the sound is great. We take it from the back porch to the front porch to the side porch, where ever we happen to want to listen to the music. Very good product.

i love the sound that this wireless speaker produces i was very surprised by the sound and it has a very nice design to it i love the way it looks when the built in lights are turned on i plan on buying another one soon.

By Lisa from Dallas, TX on 2/20/2008

This product is very easy to use and has a great sound quality.

By jk from pennsylvania on 2/9/2008

I am happy with the quality of this product. I really like that it has the input to play all types of MP3 players. I would recommend this product to anyone.

By Johnny the shagger from Wilmington, NC on 2/8/2008

This speaker was a given as a gift to a dear friend for his 60th birthday. He said "you give the coolest gifts!". Now he can listen to his favorite music while he is out by the swimming pool or working in his shop. He loves this speaker and is enjoying being able to listen to his favorite cd's, etc., while outside.

By Big Guy from New York, NY on 1/28/2008

Works as advertised

By Music Minded from Pittsburgh, PA on 1/22/2008

I just got this for Christmas and like what I see so far. I just haven't figured out where to store it when I'm not using it outside.

By salb222 from Summit, NJ on 1/22/2008

I like this unit a lot. I hooked up my iPod to a Griffin Air Dock and then the dock to the Brookstone "egg's" wireless transmitter and bingo, I've got iPod music anywhere around the house or outside; NOTE: With an RF remote, the Griffin dock allows me to control the iPod remotely from any room in the house. I like the speaker as it's just enough loudness to play my tunes in any room, but not too loud either. Portable with batteries, it could be a bit louder for outdoor applications.

By Steveo from Arroyo Grande, CA on 1/22/2008

Bought this as a present for my roomate, he loves it & uses it all over the house & outside. Great sound & reception, works well with ipod or computer or stereo system.

By the grill king from virginia beach, va. on 1/21/2008

great to use on deck while grilling

By J-Train from Long Island, NY on 1/18/2008

Perfect for a park, party, pool, spa, indoors, camping, yardwork, sun-bathing, hotel room, playing sports, relaxing outdoors. The research and development of Brookstone products rivals the worlds leading manufacturers of advanced products especialy with their audio equiptment. The attention to the details and quality of this particular speaker is exelent. True to life sound reproduction, with minimal distortion are the two key elements with any high end speakers. This speaker does it for me. Great Buy!

By The Road Runner from Phoenix.AZ on 1/18/2008

Very functional speaker. Performance much better than expected. Bass very helpful. Love the portability.

By Beth from Wisconsin on 1/14/2008

You can take it inside or outside and it sounds
just as good. I carry the speaker to whichever
room I happen to be in and listen to favorite
music. In the summer we take it outside while
grilling. I often wonder how we got along without
it. Purchased for all my children to enjoy!

By Michele from Prospect Park, PA on 1/14/2008

This was a Christmas gift for my husband. He saw it in the stores and wanted it the moment he saw it. It was easy to work and the sound quality is out of this world. All our relatives have commented how nice the system is. My mom is even thinking about getting my Dad one for his birthday. Thanks Brookstone!

By happy listener from charleston, sc on 1/13/2008

Fast,easy, simple setup.

By ATWR from MI on 1/13/2008

Nice outdoor speaker system!!

By Lane from Capitola, CA on 1/13/2008

very easy to carry. nice product. great gift for someone looking to add stereo sound outside.

By Shandog from Irvine, CA on 1/12/2008

Great for an outdoor patio or by the pool

By Caroline from Philadelphia, PA on 1/11/2008

This outdoor speaker is going to be great for outstide parties this summer and it's good for working around the house. Thanks!

By N/A from Buffalo, NY on 1/8/2008

Item enables good room-to-room mobility

By Patricia from Austin, Texas on 1/7/2008

Cute design and durable and weather proof for outside!

I think the speaker is great! Some reviews complain about limited volume. To overcome that, I plug it into the headphone outlet instead of the audio out and turn up the amplifier volume.

By Housewife in CT from North Haven, CT on 1/5/2008

I bought this product for our house for a couple of different reasons. First, to connect to our stereo to be able to listen to music while on the deck or in the pool, instead of carrying out the portable (cheap) radio. And for when my husband is working in his workshop, he can listen to his cd's without blasting out the rest of the house. It has fulfilled both of these tasks. And the light makes for a cool atmosphere for parties!

By Sue the nurse from Middlesex, N.J. on 1/5/2008

We cannot connect it to any of the stereos in the house ( according to my husband). I will have someone else check it out before I need to return it. I think it can be connected, someone just didn't want to take the time to do it properly. Other than that it's wonderful, it's small, it's weatherproof

By sleepless from Mass on 1/4/2008

I bought this product for my father so he didn
t have to blast the indoor stereo so he could hear music and tv on the porch. My home is a much more peaceful place now.

By Fins from PA on 1/4/2008

We use the speaker on several outdoor patios. The ability to move it easily from place to place is great.

By gramma Jo from Joliet IL on 1/4/2008

Really like the portability of it. Can take it outside to the garage, patio or hot tub. Or move it around the house as I do my daily chores. And if I forget it outside it will still be ok!!

By Frankie from MA on 1/4/2008

I love the mobility of it.

By RHSmithCPA from Plano, TX on 1/4/2008

Purchased as a Christmas present -- we helped set it up. Quite easy. They loved it!

By Chippie from Washington State on 1/4/2008

Not sure yet how this will work outside since we have snow right now; but indoors the sound is great!

By Jenny Kat from Dallas, TX on 1/4/2008

I bought this speaker a year ago, for my husband. He saw it at a friend's house, and his friend raved about it. We've had ours for a year now, and we've really enjoyed using it! It's not tiny, but a good, compact size. And it's SO PORTABLE...we take it outside when we BBQ, we bring it to the kitchen when we're cooking, sometimes we leave it in our media room because it's so easy to hook our iPod up to it (we don't have everything set up in our media room to "accept" iPod usage yet). It's something we use almost daily; I loved it so much, I just bought it as a Xmas present for another good friend...who so far, loves it too.

By Kim from Mississippi on 1/4/2008

Very practical and cool looking!
