Item didn't work [Posted on 2008-01-15]
The base system works great, but was unable to link with extra speaker, due to a broken link button. I went to exchange it and the Seller ANTOnline, made me pay for shipping back and then if I wanted a new one shipping again to re-purchase it.
EOS can't handle anything above low volume. [Posted on 2008-01-23]
EOS Wireless can't handle anything above low volume. It actually sounds very good at a low to moderate volume but the sound very quickly becomes distorted at a moderate to loud volume.
Quick to get music throughout home, very good quality [Posted on 2008-02-12]
I was looking for a device to replace the aging and poor quality intercom music throughout the house in a fashion less costly than wiring high-end speakers everywhere and making connections back to a central media server. My needs were for background music at moderate listening levels and below, not as a source for party dances or critical listening. The EOS unit and the two additional add-on speakers (for 3 total plus base unit) could not have fit the bill better. Setup was no more difficult than plugging in the units. I have one in the upstairs hall, one in the basement, and two on main floor at either end of the home. All units work without any signal drops, with a total absence of static, and with no other interference. I don't have an iPod (I know, sorry) so I connect the EOS base to either my Dell MP3 player (long since out of production but working very well thank you). So far the usability, quality, sound volume, setup, and enjoyment have all far exceeded expectations. On nit: the base unit has no "off" switch, an oddity that makes absolutely no sense to me whatever and would be a significant convenience.
solves the wireless problem, but ... [Posted on 2008-02-25]
this product is actually very nice. very good industrial design, ergonomics and plug-n-play reliability.
the good.
sound is what you would expect from a small system like this. bass is a bit thin and you won't want to crank it. the volume range is there for low-output tracks. all of this is ok with me. the big issue was simple distribution of sound from the ipod around the house. it's a keeper.
the bad.
the remote is so under-functioned, it's kinda ridiculous. it has a volume control, track fwd/rev, speaker on/off. uhhh... that's it? um.. i just went to radio shack to replace my wife's cd/alarm clock. there is no such beast any more, just ipod/alarm clock. ok ok, i don't need two docks, but it was only $50. the remote on this cheapie is full functioning: menu operation, select other albums/lists, etc. what the hey?
the ugly.
i called eos wireless to ask if they had a universal converter for an ipod nano. "sure we do". "great" i said. ... they don't. called them again to mention the fact that this converter was missing from my eos and they said they don't make one. my ipod nano just sits on the dmlink and wiggles when you touch it. remember that $50 cheapie from radioslack? it comes with a nice, snug converter that keeps your nano from wobbling on the dmlink. i just know that link is gonna break off sometime because of accidentally wobbling the ipod just once too often.
bottom line.
i recommend this product, but this is clearly nothing more than something to get the company off the ground with their first product. the two significant complaints (under functioned remote and no ipod nano converter) are serious flaws in their product design. i can forgive them that the remote only works with the base station. shaves another $40 off the remote speaker.
i just hope when they fix their product they don't leave us first adopters in the dust. i know, i know. they will, but i can still hope, can't i?
Not real great sound [Posted on 2008-03-29]
I thought for the money this system would be better. There is no base and a lot of distortion when the volume is turned up. There is no power off button either and that really bugs me.
The only nice thing is being able to have music in more than one room. As long as you keep the volume low it sounds fine. I wouldn't reccomend it to anyone. If your going to spend this much money get a Bose.
