 So glad I bought them! Jun 13, 2011
By Flynbyu
After reading mixed reviews, and putting much thought and deliberation into it, I purchased the set for my pool area. I'm so glad I did. These are an outstanding alternative to hard wired speakers! The sound quality is remarkably good, with nice bass and treble response. The enclosures are a little larger which attributes to nice bass tones. The dock station comes with an a/c power adapter or you can use it completely wireless by using using 4 AA batteries in the unit. I have used this with my iPhone and it works great. We use the SiriusXM application, Pandora, and the iPod functions and the unit has performed great. I have noticed there is a little interference when using an iPhone when you send or receive text messages while the unit is playing, so this may be the crackling/noise interference some owners are experiencing when using the speakers. This unit also comes with RCA connections so you may plug the dock station into your home theater system/stereo system, PC, cable TV, or satellite dish receiver to use as well. You simply plug the RCA connections into your audio out (red/white plugs) on your home system, cable box, or satellite receiver and use the wireless transmitter's plug to connect to the RCA plug. Of course, to use with a PC, you will not need to use the RCA cord provided, just simply plug the dock station into your PC's headphone jack. We tune into the music channels via DirecTV and the unit had ZERO interference while using this setup. The speakers produce an amazing stereo effect. We have had several guests over to our home and they are literally blown away with these speakers partially hidden in our landscape.
Now for the cons:
It's really not a con....It's an issues others have mentioned, but I have found a fix to it.
Like others have said, there is no volume control on the wireless dock station and the volume has to be adjusted on each speaker. There's an easy solution. If you use an iPhone, iPod, any MP3 device, home stereo/home theater, PC, cable/satellite box, the volume can be adjusted with the device you connect to the dock station. The key is to turn the volume down on the device you are connecting with (let's say at to the least half way mark to start out), and turn the volume up on your wireless speakers outside. Use the volume on your connected device (Ie: iPod, etc) to turn the volume up and down on the speakers outside. It's that easy! When I connected the dock station with my satellite receiver, I could use the receiver's remote to adjust the volume outside. Problem solved!
Pros: After 16 hours of operation, I couldn't be more pleased. Upon receiving these, I charged the speakers for about five hours. I used the speakers for about four hours with no problems. I decided to charge them overnight to use them the next day, and used them for over twelve hours on a 97° day at a fairly high volume level with no issues.
The product looks great, and blends in with my landscaping. It's a fairly large (tall) unit, but it looks great.
I highly recommend this product. It's so easy to use, looks, and sounds great!

Well built - okay performance so far May 01, 2010
By cbeck44
*This speaker does not use 6-C batteries as stated*. It has a built-in 12V AH rechargeable battery that needs to be initially charged for 15 hours. It is too new to determine how long it last between charges, but will charge and play when connected to the supplied indoor only AC adapter. The wireless performance initially seems less than the SPK-VELO speakers which I have and also use with it's supplied transmitter. The SPK-ROCK2 is hefty, well built and much darker in color than the pictures. It tends to provide a muddy sound and is much more finicky on location for optimal reception from the wireless transmitter. It does not include any remote volume control like the VELO, so adjustments require local button pushing and because of the type of tone, can vary depending on music. Have not had much of a chance to fully evaluate it's overall capabilities, but does deliver deep sound that can help fill in the tone of other speakers in an outside environment and Amazon's price is very good.

 worked well for a while Jun 02, 2008
By Nathan T. Smith
This speaker "a single speaker unit". worked well initialy. I was actually amazed at the sound. But the after storing the unit over the winter the buttons needed to be pushed several times to get them going again. Now the third season the system will not work at all. I am looking at other systems to replace this system.

Excellent wireless outdoor speaker Jun 24, 2009
By S. Vann
The sound is good, set up is simple, and it looks enough like a rock to fit in well with the outdoor landscaping. Could use a remote control capability to control the source audio from outside, and change the volume, but I didn't really expect that. It would also be nice if the base unit could be run on batteries, allowing even more flexibility. All things considered, a very nice speaker for the price, and you can enjoy music outdoors without having it blasting away inside, or wires running out of windows, etc.

Pretty Nice Singin' Rocks! Sep 30, 2010
By Michael Vandor
"Michael V."
Was quite surprised how easy this was to setup and how good the range was. Walked a speaker all around my 3,000 square foot house and yard and never lost the signal! Pretty good bass, and sound, in part because the rocks, well they're big and heavy speakers. Only negative is because of size they're harder to place so as to blend in with the landscaping. But the portability is great, if you have a larger area you can just move them wherever you plan to be.
Don't know how long the battery charge lasts for, I've only tested them as I just got them today, but rest assured you won't stress out setting them up and tying them into a stereo component or digital music player. You'll be pleased with the rrange, and likely the sound. Don't expect a wired Bose experience, but for wireless, pretty darned good!
