Wireless Computer Speakers
A few points to consider if you are looking at wireless computer speakers are:
- The transmission range: Different models have different claims as to the range of transmission, and you should ensure the range should be adequate for your needs.
- Additional input capabilities: Some of these speakers support multiple input formats. For example, the Mint Studio Wireless contains an iPod docking station while the Audio Unlimited supports inputs from MP3 player, iPods and RCA.
- Do you need battery powered speakers: Many models of wireless speakers are not completely wireless in that you will need to plug the speakers into a power source. Additionally, the Creative Inspire S2 has cables between the satellite speakers and the sub-woofer. These speakers are wireless in the sense that there is no need for a wire to run from the computer itself to the speakers. The Audio Unlimited however can be battery powered and therefore removes the need for cabling altogether.
- Sound Quality: It is fairly widely recommended that wireless speakers in general can have great sound, but do fall short of their wired counterparts in sound quality. One of the best ways to get a feel for the potential sound quality of such speakers is to read the reviews on the various shopping sites such as Amazon. Here, you are reading advice from people who have purchased the speakers, and this is the main reason we base a lot of our presentation on the summary of such reviews.
We encourage you to take a look at our summaries of the speaker models to help educate yourself for any potential purchase.
