The Sharper Image - LP115BMS wireless indoor/outdoor speaker Review

I bought this wireless speaker at JC Penny's for about 60 dollars.

The brand name: The Sharper Image, type: LP115BMS

I listen a lot to radioprograms that one can tune in on through the internet. I also have a lot of music on my PC that I would like to listen to. This system allows me to enjoy it whilst I am in the garden, sitting on the deck etc.

The system consists of a transmitter that needs to be plugged in the 110V mains or 6xAAA batteries for power and a portable speaker that requires either 110V mains or 8xD-cell batteries.

The description indicates that one can go up to 100ft between the two. I have experienced that it could be even further than that, provided that the transmitter has a line of sight with the speaker.

The sound is about as good as it can get from such small speakers. I am satisfied with it, but I can imagine that people would not like the quality. I regard it as a very convenient item to have for cookouts, washing the car, exercising, cleaning up the garden etc.  It would have been nice if the transmitter utilized USB to power itself and to obtain the music.

The wireless frequency it uses is 49MHz. I have not encountered any interference from this device to other devices and vice versa. After using it for months, I just recently got some interference when I used it in my kitchen with the microwave switched on.
