This thing seems awesome. I am on a two HomePod setup in my living room at the moment and gosh it would be great to have better surround.

This is the wireless speaker system that causes crazy WiFi interference in your house. Linus tech tips just made a video on it. Wouldn't recommend.

Why would you do this over Sonos?

You could spend $700 less and get a substantially better sounding, minimal setup. Klipsch's "The Fives" are routinely on sale in the $400-500 range.

If you're gonna go all out like that - well that depends on the person - why does it not include a matching center channel or a sub? It's quite strange to say: "I have a 4.0.4 theater system". Primarily and traditionally dialogue comes through the center channel. And a sub, well that picks up where these little speakers would leave behind. I'm a wired speaker avr person but I thought I'd chime in. And I imagine wired speakers don't have interference as thetickz says.

There are some setups where there's not a great place for the center channel. My understanding is this does a good enough job of adding a phantom center channel.

The timing of this is so funny. If anyone is looking for alternatives, I have Samsung wireless surrounds that work fine.

I just watched that tonight. It's funny to see it pop up on here.

Do not buy this.

Subwoofer not included. You will need one if you want good full sound.

Hard pass since subwoofer not included. Samsung Q series soundbar provides best package

it's true, it does happen sometimes, but I know 2 people who have this and they have 0 issues....


my guess it depends on how much wifi stuff you got... and he has likely a system that almost no one here has... as in. enterprise grade wifi + access points + so much more wireless than.. well, necessary IMO.

I run into people like this guy at least once in every soundbar or wireless setup. Been there done that don't give a shit about bunch of stupid wires calibration etc. People who've already established careers and families don't give a fark about tinker. We want nice clean but equally good wireless setup. Get it? If you don't get it, it means you ain't there in life yet so no point discussing. On a different topic my next upgrade from Samsung top of line sound bar would be to the nakamichi dragon

I was eyeing this for awhile but ended up getting the Samsung Q800B and the rears for $520 after GC. Best Buy online price match Amazon + get $350 GC. Go to Best Buy store and place order for 9500s rears for $120. Setup includes subwoofer and sounds great with my Z9J.
