It's convenient,easy to set up,sounds great,looks great. I am very pleased with my EOS system. I would purchase it again.
I would have given this product five stars, but my only ding is the lack of deep rich base; I'm a purist and like to feel and hear my deep rich base. I have both wireless speakers (the base unit comes with one) set up in my house which is made primarily of cement and metal rebar. While this review isn't specifically for the main docking station, I'll take a minute to speak on that as well. To my amazement these speakers function quite well in this difficult environment.
All of the units have a soft blue light in the antenna for the wireless system and they glow when the units are turned on. In a house composed of wood, I would fully expect them to reach the range of manufacturer. On to the important stuff. I bought this unit to accompany the main base unit (EOS 100T1RB Wireless Audio System). There is an auxiliary cord that can be plugged into the headphone jack of just about any other player and can be run through the docking station (BONUS). The speakers have a plug that either remains affixed to the back and you plug the speaker directly into the wall (think night light style, covers plug) or you can remove the plug and it has about a three foot wire lead that allows you to place the speaker on a table or as I have them, on pillars, (covered) outdoors.
The docking station is very user friendly and really has a strong sound. The remote controls both the volume and with my Nano, play, pause, skip forward and backward.
Finally if you do have an Ipod family player, the docking station does charge the player when in the cradle.All in all, while not the cheapest docking station on the market (did you really think a wireless unit would be under $15 at your discount store) the concept is novel and the sound quality is defiantly worth the investment. Like any other wireless device (cordless phone or WIFI network) the signal strength does break down with increased distance in this type of home.
The main base unit can support up to four wireless speakers (three additionally purchased). But I tell you honestly, for the price and the concept these speakers can't be touched.
They have amazingly rich sound in the mid and upper range and the independent volume adjustment of each speaker allows you to blend the music evenly depending on your listening environment. Also important, this unit can be used with other non-Ipod MP3 players or the like.
With the flexibility to move the speakers from plug to plug, you can customize your listening arenas.
