User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Pretty good value
These speakers are my 3rd attempt at finding something I’m happy with. For the price, I would recommend these. They’re not perfect, but I am happy with them. They are weatherproof and have decent sound quality and decent volume. They have a/c adapters and they take 12 C batteries and this can get expensive I suppose. I like the auto-off and auto-on feature. I’m not happy with the remote; it doesn’t always turn the speaker on after they’ve been off for a period of time. I also wish it had a “mute” button. Anyway, good value.

5 Stars Pretty cool. Great value.
This speaker system works. Set up was easy. The sound is good. I added a third speaker to the two that come with the system, and it worked without issues. I have not tried the speakers out on battery, nor have I tested the waterproofness of them. Recommended.

5 Stars GREAT, but weak bass.
If you have your own or separate woofer, then these add ons work excellently as portable speakers.

I have music playlists from Napster on my computer that I want to listen to in other rooms but running speaker wires would be impossible. These wireless speakers solve the problem very nicely.

I connected the transmitter to the computer, plugged the speakers into an AC outlet and turned on the music. Real easy. I’m no audiophile but I like what I’m hearing.

The only problem I’m finding is that the transmitter doesn’t pick up all audio signals. Napster and various online am/fm stations play fine but I can’t get signals from others such as AOL Radio or Pandora.

Still, a thumbs up from me

5 Stars great addition to the garage
I am able to listen to on-line music in the garage. I was able to hang the speaker high up out of the way.

1 Star Very Disappointing
I received this as a birthday present just shy of one year ago. The speaker sounded good, a bit hollow, but not bad for a single speaker. We used this for four months, then I put it away in the basement for the winter (to keep the battery from draining).

Pulled this out over the weekend, charged it overnight, and then…nothing. The battery would not hold the charge. I contacted Cables Unlimited and was told they do not make a replacement battery for this. Also, since it was 5 days over the one-year warranty period, they would not replace the speaker. So basically, we have a very plastic-looking rock that now works only when plugged into a power outlet.

I highly recommend everyone stay away from this product, unless they want to throw their money away for something with far-too short of a lifespan.

2 Stars Good sound, VERY inconvenient.
I bought two of these speakers for the area around my pool, thinking “Oh Boy! No more carrying a boom box out!” They are driven by a radio that is on my deck…a perfect setup, I thought.

The sound is ok (for a wireless rock, I guess).

But, the user manual states in the specs that they are auto on/off, and in another place in the manual it states that they will turn off after four minutes of getting no signal in order to conserve power, but it also states that they will turn on again when they get a signal again. So both spots in the manual agree that they are AUTO ON/OFF.

They do turn off automatically, but they do NOT turn back on automatically. Even if they are plugged into AC power 24/7, which mine are.

So, every time I want to listen to music I must turn on the radio on the deck, and then go down to EACH rock speaker individually and turn it on, and then go back and forth between the various rocks until I think the balance is correct. (They don’t retain your last volume setting, so I have to turn them on and then adjust the volumes again among the various rocks that I have).

If you only wanted to use these on special occasions and kept them in a closet charging the rest of the time, then turning them on manually is no big deal as you would have to visit each rock speaker as you carried it to its location anyway. But for someone who wants to leave them out most of the time (as I do), then they are not useful.

5 Stars Better Than Expected
After reading the previous reviews, I was ready for anything. How surprised I was at the great sound quality, especially the bass. The speaker is about 35ft from the transmitter. Setup was easy. Recevied it UPS in two days. I just ordered an “add-on” speaker. The only question mark will be durability since it’s outside. But only time will tell.

5 Stars Much better than expected.
I expected this speaker to be good, but it was much better than even my high expectations. Having had several sets of outdoor speakers, this one beats them all. Very clear sound wherever you take it.

The best thing is the rechargeable batteries! Can place it virtually anywhere. Guests are amazed.

4 Stars Satisfied
I bought this rock speaker based on other reviews. I had to send the first one back because it broke when installing it the first time. Things got better with the second one. Amazon made a quick exchange and I was back in business. The reviewers did not lie. Speaker has crisp, clear reception even when not in clear view of transmitter. Sound is about what I expected for a single speaker. Not great, but more than adequate for what we need it for which is piped in stereo sound on our deck. As long as you don’t expect bose type sound, you should be satisfied.

4 Stars Good Value for the Money
This Samsung HT is good value for the cost of the unit. Setting up the unit was a bit confusing using instructions in HT booklet. Fortunately, I have a Samsung plasma TV and used the instructions in the TV booklet. I’m using the unit in a large rectangular room and power is plentiful. However, speaker wires are cheap. The small speakers are 60W so purchase adequate speaker wiring. Overall, I’m very satisfied with Samsung products.

5 Stars Very Nice!!
This is a very nice product. Only thing to consider is to maybe get some better speaker wire due to how the thin the stock speaker wire is. I had my ipod hooked up to it and the next day the ipod was fried. Other than that the sound is amazing when playing ps3 games and HDTV. To get the best audio and video out of it i recommand using hdmi and optical (TOSLINK) cables. This allows full digital audio and video for the best experiance.

5 Stars Samsung HT – Z410T
Samsung HT-Z410T 5.1-Channel 5 Disc Home Theater Surround Sound System (Set of Seven, Black)

After I bought a Samsung 40″ HD LCD TV set I found that my Panasonic Home Theater System (very old) was uncompatible with the new TV. It had no HDMI output nor did the DVD player upgrade conventional movie DVDs to near HD quality. I searched the Internet and finally decided on the HT-Z410T. Not only was it fully compatible with my new TV but the 5-disk player would replace my 5-disk CD player. The HT system arrived within a few days of placing my order. Instructions were great and the installation was flawless. Everything worked as promised. Someone might wonder why I did not buy a HD home theater system since I had a HD TV but both units are for a rental house in a resort area where Blu-Ray DVDs are not available for rent (at this time) and I figured that it was unlikely that a renter would bring Blu-Ray DVDs along with them. Maybe I’ll upgrade in the future but for now my purchase is just right!

5 Stars Much better than I expected after reviews
I use the product only 2 weeks, but I’m impressed by the quality. Good DVD pic, and sound is Exelent. Where else you can buy 1000 Wt 5.1 chanel speakers for $150? I connected my Dish receiver to Samsung DVD and now I have surround sound for TV too. Even if DVD die the use of the speakers will pay back.

5 Stars awesome for the price
Well what can I say, 5 disc changer, 1000 watts, fm stereo(only), but most importantly to me is that the upscaling is so good at first I thought the picture was better than my hd cable service providers. At the price bluray home theatre’s go for, this was such a good steal. I can pop a $3 dvd in my system and I can honestly say get full 1080p. Is that awesome or what! I would highly recommend this or the samsung ht-z510t which slightly has more watts(200 more), and speaking of loudness this system makes my body vibrate, hows that for loudness? It’s a steal buy!

4 Stars Great System for the Price
This is a great system for the price. Amazon had it much lower than Best Buy or Frye’s. It was fairly easy to set up. I keep my favorite CD’s in 4 slots of the 5 disk changer and the 5th is open for a DVD.

The S-Air remote speaker works great in my bedroom. I can control the system from there, except you can’t switch between CD’s. The other problem I had is that I can’t get any TV sound through the system. It’s no big deal for me because I mostly watch DVD’s anyway but it may be a concern for you. You’re supposed to be able to set it up for that but in my case, it simply doesn’t work.

Overall, I think this is a great value for anyone who wants a stereo/home-theater combo and the S-Air remote speaker is like getting a mini-system as a bonus.

1 Star operationalal procedure
This produict is extremely difficult to operate for an elderly person to understand the different functios of this system. I dont fully understand why its so difficult to understand. Why so many different options. Am not happy with system. If I had it to do over again would have passed on buying syste. Larry M Houtz

5 Stars Sony BRAVIA Theater System (DAVHDX576WF)
i like this system, i would only change how loud it can get still doesnt seem aloud as it should get, and also i think the sub should be stronger.

4 Stars A GOOD SOUND SYSTEM
I am happy with this sound system.

I did not realize how good it was until I rented “Journey to the Center of the Earth” this DVD has good suround sound.

The first time thunder hit from the left, front and back, I checked outside for a storm.

5 Stars i haven’t actually gotten to listen to it yet
My friend has one and loves it and I’m sure I will love mine as well.
