Customer Feedback
The Sonos system is great, but expensive. If you don’t need sound output or input near your router, hook up one of these as the network connection point for the rest of the system. It’s a lot cheaper than a ZonePlayer and it works perfectly.
I initially bought this because my router and my stereo were on opposite sides of my living room. It worked great and didn’t take up much room at all.

Customer Feedback
It’s a fantastic little product and idea, with portability and ease-of-use in the forefront of internet connected audio players (plus the benefit of not paying for XM or other similar options!). The lack of song tagging and weak reception strength make it just a little tougher to use than it should be however, and drops it down a notch.
The sound is crystal clear and since I connected it to our home theater system, I could hear the bass booming out through the subwoofer and music through all the speakers. I also tried it with the adapter, plugged into a little clock radio and that worked fine too.

Customer Feedback
As far as sound quality goes, it is far better than expected. There is virtually no distortion even at maximum volume. I even plugged a set of Computer Speakers into the Headphone Jack and it didn’t make that much of a difference. The Base levels aren’t that deep, but they are there.
I haven’t tested the Wireless strength extensively yet, but I was able to hook it up in the garage (1 Floor below and 50 feet from the router) and the signal strength was near full.
