Introduction to Wireless Speaker Reviews

Wireless speakers are a sort of sub-set of active speakers. They are self- powered but receive the audio signal via a wireless/radio frequency carrier. One method uses a proprietary system which requires a complementary sending unit to interface with conventional wired connections. These boast virtually delay free operation and are thus suitable for the various channels of a multichannel system. Other systems use open standards such as WiFi to receive audio from a computer or mobile device. These will tend to have significant lag and are better suited to casual stereo or background music enjoyment.
