    After the open box one I bought online didn't work, I drove an hour to the closest Best buy to exchange it. Much to my surprise the new replacement doesn't work either. Guess I'm driving back to try again.

    I purchased this kit for my father-in-law who was setting up his surround sound system. At my home, I have a slightly different Rocketfish wireless rear speaker kit that works great. It's the universal wireless HD audio starter kit that doesn't appear to be sold anywhere anymore. My set-up works flawlessly, so I figured this Rocketfish kit would be a good choice. Unfortunately, once we set up the kit, no sound was transmitted to the rear speakers. If we hard-wired the speakers, everything worked great. But once we introduced the wireless kit, the rear speakers would have absolutely no sound. I can't tell you how many times we tried to pair the sender and receiver boxes, switch out the speaker wire to a different gauge, or simply re-connect the wires to all of the speakers or wireless units. Nothing ever worked! I returned this kit to the my local Best Buy, incredibly disappointed by this Rocketfish creation. If I could still find the HD Audio starter kit in a Best Buy, I would have purchased that one in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, we had to settle for hard-wired rear speakers this time around.

    Could not get any sound from my rear speakers after setup. Transmiter and receiver showed connection, but no sound. Checked connections and volume, nothing. Even tried deferent locations, nothing. Returned to Best Buy.

    Excellent "wireless" solution

    Long story short...I was looking to set up my 7.1 surround system in the living room in my new house, but had no options to run any number of rear surround speakers. I bought 2 of these kits, one kit for the surround left and right channels, and another kit for the surround back left and right channels. After taking the kit(s) out of the box(es), I noticed that they had sort of a cheap feeling to them, as in they just feel lightweight and almost just like a plastic shell, BUT...don't let that deter you. Here's why... I connected one unit to the side surround speakers, and the other unit to the back surround speakers. NOTE: It does not have to be done that way, you could connect one unit to both left surround speakers and the other unit to the right side. All that matters is that you pay attention to which speaker you connect to each side of each unit. NOTE: In my opinion, it makes more sense to connect the sides to one unit, and both surround back speakers to the other unit. This is because the receiving units have a volume control (which was a nice surprise). I would rather be able to control the volume for each matching set of speakers, than control the volume for each side instead. In any case, after getting everything hooked up, I turned on one sender, and then one receiver and it connected almost immediately. Same thing for the other unit. I was initially concerned that the units may try to connect to one another, but they are paired at the factory, and even after trying to see if one sender would connect to the opposite receiver...I confirmed that they would not connect to the incorrect unit. I powered everything up and put in a Blu Ray, adjusted some of the speaker levels on my home theater receiver, and the volume on both of the units, and I couldn't be happier with the results. I was expecting perhaps some slight, but noticeable delay, and after watching some scenes from Avatar and Terminator 2, I am completely satisfied with the results! The term "wireless" seems to confuse some people and I'd like to clear this up to help out. There is no such thing as a completely wireless system. Speakers need power to function. You WILL have to run wires from the receiving unit to the speakers and you WILL have to be able to connect power to the receiving unit(s). NO, you cannot use 1 sender with 2 receiving units. This is a great solution if you don't want to run wires around the perimeter of a room, in front of a fireplace, etc. If you're trying to mount speakers to the ceiling, this is probably not going to help. In my case, I originally had wires running around the perimeter of my living room in my apartment to all my surround speakers. Now, at my house, I cannot do that, because they would be in front of a fireplace. So, I still have 7.1 surround sound now, without wires in front of a fireplace, and all you see is about 2 feet of an extension cord running underneath my sofa. I hope my review helps you make a decision and clears up any questions you might have!
