I like the fact that it's totally software independent - it doesn't matter if your sound is coming from flash, Real, mp3, whatever - as long as it's transmitted out the headphones jack it works. I'm not an audiophile and can't attest to the quality (streaming 192kbps Radio Paradise to my stereo sounds great to me), and it was a little flakey at first on my Windoze laptop, but all in all it's great.
I think the solution to the flakiness was to set Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Audio/Default device to NOT be the AW1 but I haven't played with it long enough to be sure.

Seems like they liked it and this seems like a pretty good solution for people who want a quick and easy wireless audio stream from an MP3 player (PC or portable) to a receiver in another room. Just would like it to get about $150 cheaper. :)

]]> <![CDATA[Audioengine AW1 Lets You Stream Music With Little Fuss]]> @spededdler and enlochlight -- the express is relatively complicated to set up and use, and only streams itunes music (not even audio from movies / tv shows downloaded from itunes, let alone anything not on itunes). Itunes sometimes doesn't "find" the speakers or doesn't play through them, forcing you to reboot. It works pretty well most of the time but it is annoying to do that at a party.

Yeah, you can hack express and probably optimize it a bit, but the point of this one is you don't have to do anything but plug it in. I don't have these but the audioengine speakers I have are extremely well designed and an exceptional good value in terms of price/performace (if light on features).

Its also a WiFi extender, print server, and can connect to multiple PCs without a dongle. 50 bucks cheaper too. Not sure if the sound quality is degraded but the other features/price should make up for it.

]]> <![CDATA[Audioengine AW1 Lets You Stream Music With Little Fuss]]> I agree, it's about time someone came up with a reasonably-priced wireless streaming audio solution.

]]> <![CDATA[Audioengine AW1 Lets You Stream Music With Little Fuss]]> I was gonna wait to see a review but my compulsive side got the best of me and I ordered one. It's exactly what I've been looking for, and like Shai said it's about time. I'll report back in a few days.

]]> <![CDATA[Audioengine AW1 Lets You Stream Music With Little Fuss]]> Nice but for $115 ($135 MSRP), you can grab the Creative Xmod Wireless Music System which will do the same thing plus give you a remote to control your music wirelessly. I bought one and I'm extremely happy with it -- No static, and no interference. You can add additional wireless receivers too. Up to four before you lose the remote control capability. Unlimited if you don't care about remote control. Xmod wireless has RCA input jacks too so you can wirelessly stream any audio device (like your iPod) instead of being forced to use a computer.
