Wireless Speakers

So you have an awesome new home theater system; all you need is a speaker system. Now comes the hard part: figuring out which speakers to buy!

One of the most annoying things in setting up a new speaker system is figuring out how to place the speakers properly, without the cables tripping people, getting in the way, or just looking horrible. The obvious solution is to get a set of wireless speakers; not only does it eliminate the clutter of cords, but your speakers don't even have to be in the same room as your stereo system.

When choosing a wireless speaker, there are a number of factors to consider. The most important, of course, are cost, sound quality and range. Less tangible factors include ease of setup; even the best speaker system in the world does you no good if you can't get it to work!

Cost is generally the easiest feature to evaluate, but remember that this isn't always just the cost of the speakers; you also need to consider any additional parts you might need to buy to get your system working correctly. 

Sound quality is fairly subjective; you'll want to listen to the speakers before buying, if possible, and see if they sound good to you. Still, certain brands have a reputation for producing good sound, while others...not so much. Do your research before buying!

Range is mostly important if you plan to have speakers in multiple rooms, as any halfway decent speaker should work across a room. Still, if you think you might eventually want to be able to wander around the house and still listen to your music, this is something to consider. Remember that going through walls will likely cut down the effective range.
