Wireless TV Speakers Buying Guide

Wireless tv speakers can be a godsend if your tv room is of significant size and you are not satisfied with the quality of the sound coming from the standard built-in speakers of your tv. Imagine long cables going all the way through the room from your tv to the speakers behind your couch – this isn’t exactly what you are after, is it? With wireless tv speakers you will never have to experience such problems.

We browsed through the offers for wireless stereo speakers on-line and picked a few that we found to be the most appealing. Here are our top three picks:

1.Audio Unlimited 900Mhz Wireless Speakers

This is a solid wireless system from Cables Unlimited. The 900Mhz technology allows to send the signal from the transmitter to the speakers within the distance of 150 feet without respect for walls or ceilings. The speakers can be used outdoors as well, even in wet areas. Three adpaters come with the transmitter which allows for an easy connection to different types of devices. There is also a possibility to add more speakers to the system. The Audio Unlimited 900Mhz Wireless Speakers come with a remote control and can be powered via batteries or an AC adapter. They have an output power of 5 Watts per speaker and a frequency responce of 40hz to 12Khz. The list price is $179.95 but you can easily get them for $129.95.

2. Acoustic Research AW877 900Mhz Wireless Stereo Speaker System w/Auto Tuning

The wireless tv speakers from Acoustic Research also use the 900Mhz technology. The clear signal is guaranteed within the range of up to 250 feet from the transmitter to the speakers, through ceilings, walls or windows. The great thing about the AW877 speakers is their two way acoustic design. This means that even if you stand behind the speakers you will be able to hear everything perfectly. Each 7,5 Watt speaker has a 2 inch dome tweeter and a 5 inch woofer to provide you with a great listening experience. Another cool thing about the speakers is their frequency response of 20Hz to 20Khz which is far better than in the Audio Unlimited system described above. The Acoustic Research system can be powered with batteries or an AC, and comes with two adapters. The suggested price for the AW877 Wireless Stereo Speakers is $199.95 but they can be bought for a low price of $129.95.

3. Grace Digital SCN300W Schooners Weatherproof & Water-Resistant Wireless Speaker System

This is the most expensive system of all three. The speakers can be placed within the distance of 150 feet inside and 300 feet outside from the transmitter. Additional speakers can also be added to the system. As with all previous systems, the SCN300W can be used as wireless speakers for tv, laptop, I-Pod, or just about anything you could think of. They come with a remote control, 3 AC adapters, and have 7,5W of output power each. The frequency response is 40Hz to 12Khz, which again is not as good as with the Acoustic Research system. The nice thing about the Grace Digital speakers is their compliance to the Level IPX3 International Weather Proofing Standards. You can get them for $179.95, which is $50 less than the list price.

If we were to choose our favorite wireless tv speakers from the three above, it would be the Acoustic Research AW877 system, as it offers the broadest frequency response which simply means and deeper and more detailed sound. However, if you want speakers that will do well both indoors and outdoors, both the Audio Unlimited and Grace Digital wireless speaker systems should do the job just fine.
