Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'll start by saying that I read almost every review available for this unit before purchasing and what I decided is that I need to buy it for myself to really make my own conclusions. (remember that you can always return it if you don't like it) My system consists of the following.... (Fronts) Klipsch RP-280fa (Center) Klipsch RP-450ca (Rears) MartinLogan Motion 4's (Receiver) Marantz SR-6011 I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much from this wireless kit as it's only putting out 30 Watts into 4ohms which is nothing to get excited about but since this unit is meant for the rear speakers, it is acceptable in a small to medium sized room (mine is 16x13). After all the cabIes were hooked up, I made sure the wireless receiver and wireless sender were within viewing distance of each other and setting the volume on the rear wireless receiver at Max. Then I ran the Audyssey EQ calibration on my receiver and was surprised to see that it worked perfectly. You don't need to have a calibrator on your receiver for this unit to work as it is a plug and play system. Once the calibration was complete, I used Mad Max: Fury Road (dolby atmos) to demo the setup. I wish I could say it was amazing but my rears lacked the low end that can be provided by a more powerful amp but the highs were present and were allowed to shine. Now given the size of my room, I am not even using a subwoofer as my towers have dual 8" woofers so the bass is more than enough to make up for what I may be lacking in the rear. Some important things to note.... 1. Follow the directions exactly as they are explained in the instruction manual. 2. Understand that if you do not have a dual band wireless router then you may experience interruption and delays in either your speakers or your wireless speeds to your devices ie. smart phone, tablets, media players etc. I have all my devices connected to 5ghz and let this unit take over the 2.4ghz so that I am assured no issues. As long as you are not expecting audiophile performance, I can happily recommend this system to anyone that is looking to go wireless. I'll say it again.....you can read all the reviews there are but you won't really know until try it yourself.

I have wanted to add surround sound speakers in my den for a while but put it off due to the time and money it would have required. I saw this wireless speaker option and checked the reviews. They were positive so I decided to give it a try. VERY glad I did. The setup was quick and easy and all of the necessary wires are included. It is as simple as connecting the speaker jacks, on your receiver, to the transmitter. Then locating where you want the speakers to be. Connect your wires to the Amplifier/Receiver and plug it in the wall. Then just adjust the settings for volume on your receiver and the Rockfish amp. Total time for me to set up was about 30 minutes, which included mounting the receiver, speakers and running wire.

Great product, works perfectly with our new setup with no speaker wire running from the back of the room to the front where our receiver is located. Did not degrade the sound at all that the human ear can notice. I recommend this for anyone looking to convert wired speakers to a wireless setup.

Let me tell you about this system.. I wanted to be outside and still hear what's on the TV. I didn't want to run wires all through the frickin' house, I mean after all I'm a dude trying to listen to my TV outside, I'm lazy if you haven't picked that up yet.. But anyways, I plugged this into my Samsung Blu-Ray Surround Sound System (another great buy from Best Buy!!), but anyways I connect one device to the sound system and another one to my speakers I put outside. After syncing the devices I get sound outside from my TV rooms away! The distance is remarkable and I'm very happy. I get that what I'm using these for are not what it's made for, but my two cents is if you want your sound in multiple rooms, this is a very cost effective way to make that happen!

amazing product surround sound made easy i highly recommend this product

This product looked just right to solve my problem. I bought a great TV (Samsung 55" Series 8) and the matching Samsung HW-C700 A/V 3D receiver to match back in March. Along with a great picture, I am a musician and audiophile. I have a very good ear for music and the quality thereof. So after making my initial purchase which also included front towers, center channel, and subwoofer (all Polk Audio), I wanted to complete my surround sound by adding two rear speakers. I got a great deal on a couple Polk bookshelf speakers on a Black Friday sale, but I didn't want to run wires from my A/V to the back since I have vaulted ceilings and hiding the wires would be a lot of work for me. There's my situation and this product look like a great solution for me in my room. Setting up the wireless system (installing the wires [which I used monster 16gauge wire] and hiding them) took me about 30 minutes and calibrating it with my A/V receiver was really easy. I had previously worried a lot about the signal latency (15-20ms published, which is right on the money) which I had feared would create an echo. It may for you, if you don't have an A/V receiver that can automatically or manually set signal delay or sync for your individual speakers. I was about to get it all synced up and made the entire setup and calibration under 45 minutes. After listening for a while to various forms of media, I could hear something wasn't right to my ears. I listened to lots of high quality music and blu-ray high def audio and in these trials something just didn't sound right to me. My troubleshooting approach was to A and B the speakers with one connected directly to the A/V receiver and one connected to the wireless rocket fish. A few minutes of listening I could tell what the problem was and I later confirmed it in the specs. The Rocketfish Wireless Rear Speaker Kit's manual stats that it transmits and receives Stereo, 16-bit, 48Khz uncompressed audio with a bit-rate of 1.465 Mbps. The Signal to Noise Ratio is 87dBs and output power is 2 x 25W RMS (in 4 ohms). Okay? So, the transmitter has to down-sample my 96Khz PCM high-def audio that my A/V receiver is sending. That is one of the differences in quality. Another is the RMS, my receiver can give 120 Watts RMS per channel (at 6 ohms). Also, It's no wonder that there is a slight hiss produced due to the signal to noise ratio. It is most recognizable when the Rocketfish receiver's volume control is cranked. For me, the Rocketfish solves the problem of hiding wires across a room at a cost of quality and hiss (the hiss isn't terrible and may not be noticeable in your environment. It can also be controlled with some trail and error, but you'll sacrifice volume and headroom). Of course, I'm comparing this to my A/V receiver which is awesome in comparison and rightfully so! The differences make the quality of sound noticeable to me, but not my non-audiophile wife. So. Audiophiles beware, but if you aren't an audiophile that can pick out slight discrepancies in the signal, this product is really great. I am halfway tempted to keep it because I'm dreading the day's job (and money spent) of running the wires to the back of my home theater. But, for me, high quality audio is an ever elusive beast that I hope to one day capture.

I picked up this system to wirelessly connect my Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000 speakers as the rear surround channels for my home theater system. I live at an apartment and did not have the capability of threading wires from the front to the rear of my room without disrupting the room. The sound quality is fine. Setup is simple. Occasionally I think there is just a millisecond or 2 of lag over the WiFi, but it has not been a problem at all and if it truly exists is barely noticeable and doesn't detract from the experience. The rear unit has a built in volume control knob which is a nice feature. If your speakers are right by the ends of the couch like mine are, this is very handy to adjust to a comfortable listening level after tuning the room.

I have a home theatre setup that includes rear surround speakers. Unfortunately, I had no way to hide the speaker wire necessary to connect these speakers to my receiver. However, I discovered this Wireless Rear Speaker Kit and am very satisfied. Not only did this solve my issue with trying to conceal the speaker wire, but the setup was easy. The sound from my rear speakers is excellent - I cannot tell any difference from the speakers being wired. I found the volume control on the unit itself to be helpful as well. Definitely recommend to anyone in a similar situation.

So I was actually going to the store to just buy some new wire and I saw this and was ecstatic! My wife didn't want wiring to be exposed all over the place from the rear speakers to the receiver and this was the perfect solution. At first I didn't have any sound to the rear speakers when I was testing it but I just had to change my receiver to the All Surround setting just to send a signal to all speaker outputs to verify that the device was working properly. Once I got the unit and the new Monster Platinum XP wire installed I was in heaven and the sound was crisp and pure. As you can see in my photos I don't have any wire moulding yet but the wires will be covered soon. I'm not sure if it matters whether the wireless receiver is up high or down low, the manual didn't specify a requirement, but at the height I have mine installed (approx. 5 feet) I've had no interference or sound issue. The sound is spot on, no delays, and works great! I love this purchase.

I can't imagine anyone having buyer's remorse with this product. It is compact, light weight, a total snap to install, and pairs in a flash. To date I have noticed no signal degredation or spurious sounds. It works at a fair distance and without the need for the sender and receiver to be in line of sight with each other. It is to be used with a pair of standard (not self-amplified) speakers. It has a volume adjustment knob for balancing the rear speakers to the front speakers. There is !!absolutely!! no loss of sound quality with the Rocketfish system and certainly no noticable delay either.

Purchased this wireless rear speaker kit in February of 2016 and I just wanted to give you an update. This system has be in operation since I purchased it and it has worked flawlessly. I use it whenever the TV is on thru my home theater system, which also includes my cd player, hd dvd player and gaming system. The sound is awesome, there is no interference, and the set up is simple. You can not get a better system for the price

I was pretty skeptical when I purchased this kit because I had read a lot of the reviews about them not working right. We just replaced the carpet in our family room with hardwood in a concrete slab home so i had to find another way to get the rear speakers in my surround system hooked up without looking trashy. I done a lot of research on different devices to do it and ended up deciding to try this setup mainly due to price and Best Buys great return policy. Worst case scenario, if they sounded bad or I got interference like some other reviewers stated, I would go the hard route and run the wires up in the attic and back down because sound quality is definitely important to me. After getting them hooked up (which was very straightforward and simple) I was really surprised with how they sound. I can't tell a difference when watching a 4k blu ray or playing video games. They have really blown me away with how well they sound. As far as Wi-Fi interference, i haven't seen any. The transmitter part of this is within a foot of my Tri-ban router and I have over 40 WI-FI/Smart devices in my home. In conclusion, it works great for me and definitely worth trying in your house before going to too much effort running wires for your surround speakers.

It was very easy to set up. It came with everything I needed to set up in 15 minutes or so. I connected the transmitter directly to my home theater and the receiver to an outlet and rear speakers 20 ft or so away. Despite a bookshelf and a couch being between the receiver and the transmitter, there was no impact to the audio. Overall, a great product!

I was skeptical at first about wireless speakers setup, The Rocketfish system was easy to setup. I think it is a great wireless option, the sound quality is good with adjustable levels on the unit. You can mount the unit on the wall to virtually make the system outta sight as long as a receptacle is near your installation point.

My house shakes with 5.1 sound again. WatchING mission impossible rogue nation. Saweet!! To hear the special effects reverbate through my system is awesome, and now I have my two rear speakers on board. My room is 15 feet long, and the rear speakers are hidden in a hutch 8 feet tall. Direct line of sight from my pioneer 3d capable receiver makes setup a snap. The unit is pre programed from the factory, no setup is needed. I did experience some feed back but you can turn the volume up or down on the receiving unit...set it and forget it! The sound you get depends on your receiver, but that is not an issue. The units simply relay sound from the signal coming from the rear speaker setup at your receiver and relayed back to the receiving unit. Both units have a blue light that flashes blue we. You first turn them on then go to a steady blue light. This means they are connected. If not, there is a connect button on the receiving unit. Simply connect your speakers .. instructions included. ..turn on the sending unit, connect your speakers to the receiving unit and push the connect button. Couple seconds should do it. Enjoy.

I don't have the option to run rear speakers in my living room due to hardwood floors and layout. I decided to pick this up to get some of my surround sound back. I had an older version of this but it was a little larger and quite old. Though the sound is great and a very valuable price to hook up your rear speakers wirelessly, every once in a while they will start popping. Some static/popping will randomly occur and I will need to turn off the rear speakers for a while to get it to go away. Its random, so I'm not certain what is causing it. I am in the process of troubleshooting. It isn't a big issue during loud/action movies as you cannot hear, but during movies with longer pauses in sound or heavy dialogue movies, it is very obvious. That being said, when I turn the unit on at the start of a movie, the popping doesn't usually occur until much later (after the movie has ended). Weird.

Partial basement remodel and didn’t want the extra cost to run cable thru walls and ceiling, so I needed a “wireless" solution to accommodate the equipment I already had and walls that did'nt get ripped apart. While technically not completely wireless, this product was a very good alternative. I use this product for my home theater rear speakers (KEF's) which don't require a lot of wattage to appreciate the sound quality. Aside from an occasional split-second drop out (once or twice during a 2 hour movie), the product works pretty good, especially for the price. PROS: easy setup, low cost solution for a wireless problem. CONS: Not 100% wireless (But I knew this going in)

I was very skeptical before purchasing this wireless transmitter based on some of the reviews I read. But the Magnolia guy convinced me and I took the plunge. I was worried about it all until I actually installed/connected it and realized that it actually works great. I must point out, however, that i have the transmitter and the receiver at about 10' apart and they are facing each other without any obstruction. I am using it to power Bowers & Wilkins In-Wall speakers being used as surround speakers on a 5.1 HT systems. The speakers play incredibly well using this devices (both music and Movies). I can't notice any difference in quality from my wired front speakers to the wireless back speakers. Also worth mentioning, I don't have any other wireless transmitter. I do have my wifi router setup directly above this transmitter and they don't seem to interfere. I would definitely recommend to a friend.

Excellent easy to use and set up wireless speaker system. Extremely versatile and excellent if you have challenges running wires across your room. Very little loss in sound quality. Technical support was outstanding as well.

Recently moved and was in need of a good solution for connecting my rear surround speakers. While I would normally have preferred to just run cable the room layout and aesthetics don't lend themselves to that. Settling for wireless, this is a solid solution. Both the transmitter and receiver are powered so the sound quality is good enough for home use with TV, movies and music. I haven't experienced any interference with wifi (2g or 5g) or any other wireless devices and the setup was pretty easy. My only complaint is the connecters on the boxes are spring clips, banana pins would really be a better fit, but so far they're working great and my whole rear wiring setup hides nicely behind the couch.
