There are potential issues with these speakers, that you need to know. Some are listed here:
Potential Interference
It is possible for some wireless speakers to interfere with other devices like cordless phones. If they are good, they will allow you to change it to a different frequency to prevent this.
Battery life
You may not get good battery life out of them, because power is required for the speakers, amplifier and radio receiver. If you plan to use the wireless speakers for lengthy periods of time, you will wnat to use the AC adapter. This is not always practical, so you might want to look for speakers with rechargeable batteries, or even replaceable batteries.
Range
Range is usually limmited to 150 to 300 feet away from the transmitter. This is usually located near your sound source, so best to figure out what distance you plan to use them. Note that the distance shortens if there are walls and furniture between the transmitter and receiver.
Stereo availability
Some wireless speaker systems are only sold with one speaker, which is not practical for stereo listening. However, there’s always the possibility to buy a pair and drive each channel on a single speaker.
