Quick Look Review
EOS Wireless Speaker System
Friday, June 5th, 2009 at 1:06 PM - by Nancy Gravley
I am sitting in my office listening to my favorite singer (Willie Nelson) sing my favorite song (Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain). If I walk into my bedroom, living room, kitchen, or garage I will also hear the same music. If I want to take the speaker from the garage and move it out to the patio all I have to do is unplug it and take it out there and plug it in because the whole system is wireless. The limitation I have is 150 feet from the base station. Doors, walls and ceilings are not an issue.
The music I am listening to is coming from my iPod. It can also come from a computer, Apple TV, MP3 players, home stereos, and satellite radios. The system I am listening to is compatible with any iPod with a docking connector, including the iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod classic as are all older iPod models with the exception of the iPod shuffles.
All of this is courtesy of the EOS Wireless Speaker System which broadcasts CD quality, interference free, audio.

EOS Wireless Core System With 3 Additional Speakers
The base station and the speakers include two full range drivers and a ported sub-woofer for "crystal clear highs and deep sounding bass."
Set Up
The units arrived very well packaged and it took longer to get them out of the box than it did to set them up. The speakers are simply plugged in and turned on. The base station didn't take much longer. There are several iPod holders included as part of the core system and I had to find the one that fit my particular iPod, fit it in the appropriate spot, insert my iPod, turn the machine on and punch two buttons to get everything started. Plugging in my iPod automatically turned it on.
The base station and each speaker has a sound control knob. I found this to be particularly useful in a room that was small. The base station has buttons on the front that allows easy switching from iPod to Auxiliary. When I switched from testing on my iPod and went to my Mac, I plugged in the auxiliary input cable and punched the AUX button. As soon as I open iTunes and started music it started playing over the system.
Size
The base station measures about 10 x 8-inches and it is about 8 inches thick. The speakers measure 7 x 7-inches and they stick out from the wall almost four inches. There is a unique design feature built into each of the speakers: The plug-in base will lift out from the unit and the unit can be placed on a table or desk and the cord plugged into the wall like a lamp or a radio.
The Bottom Line
I love this system. It was easy to set up and it is easy to use. It gives good sound and I love that I can hear my music all over my house with so little effort. The set up information that accompanied the system was clear and easy to follow. This non-teckie had it going in less than 10 minutes and that included unpacking the boxes. There is a one year warranty, a 30 day money back guarantee, and phone and email support information on their Web site.
Just The Facts
Pros:
Easy to set up, easy to use, good sound. Works with iPods, computers, Apple TV, MP3 players, home stereos, and satellite radios. The 30 day money back guarantee means you can check it out. You can start with the basic core grouping and add speakers, or buy the whole set all at once for maximum benefit. If you move, it moves with you, and it works through doors and ceilings.
Cons:
None identified.
