This product can not be used in the presence of a wireless router. Anywhere in my house, and even outside, the wireless speakers pick up a loud buzz or hum that can't be overcome without turning the router off. Also it is difficult to pair the base unit and the speakers unless they are close together or you have two people. And it seems that the speakers must be paired often, not just once when they are new.

This unit seemed like what everyone would want.I bypassed the negative reviews [MISTAKE] and bought one anyway.It was fairly easy to set up and worked well for 3 months and then quit.I sent the base in for a replacement and received another.A month later the remote quit working.It is impossible to contact the company.I was on hold twice for an hour and gave up.They don't respond to e-mails and don't offer a replacement remote control anywhere.I now have two nice wireless speakers and a base unit that keeps time.The only way to control the volume is thru the remote.I like Amazon because they supply reviews for the products they sell. We should all heed these reviews.

Base Station has "POWER" issues. January 27, 2010

Bought this unit with 2 speakers about 3 months ago and I loved it. The system has great sound and even though it's tough sometimes to "pair" the speakers to the base station, I didn't mind.
A few weeks ago the base station crapped out and the power was flickering on and off. I called iLive and they would not repair the basestation because it had been more than 90 days since I purchased it.
Furthermore, the representative told me, "WE HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF THESE PRODUCTS"!!!
So steer clear of this item.
Horrible product - Waste of time. December 7, 2009

I bought this from another vendor, hooked up easily with no issues. The remove was a bit heavy, but worked anywhere from my house (wifi-remote), really cool. The sound was awesome and I was so excited thinking that I found the one I like. Worked fine 45min-1hour. I switched off and tried to switch on again. The base died and did not power on. Thought there might be a issue with the dock and exchanged with a complete new system. To my surprise, this one got the same issue. I exchanged again second time (as I like the sound clarity so much) but same issue, so it went back.
As much I like the sound quality, I am so upset about the dock getting died after the first power off. Wasted so much time on hooking, unhooking, taking it to the store etc.
Never buy this again.
Poor quality, good sound, speaker didn't work, volume limited December 2, 2009

Even thought I read the bad reviews I took a chance and purchased it. The product lacked workmanship quality, the buttons are small, feels like a toy, seems somewhat cheap. Good packaging, good shipping,,, but one of the speaker turn on and then it died. The other worked fine and it paired fine, the quality of sound is pretty good but the volume is somewhat limited if you use it outdoors. I am returning it since I lost confidence on the quality of the product. I would consider looking for other similar products from a different manufacturer.
