 Connection drops constantlyJan 24, 2010
Now, in theory this is a great device and it's really easy to setup: plug in the stick into the USB Port, hook to the receiver to your Audio System, press the connect button. Driver installation from CS is only needed if you want some of the advanced settings or things like listening to incoming sound from a Microphone. When it works, it is a really great device. Sadly for me, most of the time it doesn't work, the connection drops constantly for a fraction of a second which gives the sound quality of a radio that loses it's tuning all the time. The distance between the USB Stick and receiver is about 6 Meters, with no walls in between, only a wooden desk and human body. I do not know if the Wireless LAN is interfering, but that works perfectly fine. Overall, I had to replace it with a cable again.
 wonderful ideaJan 16, 2010
I use this gadget for my xp computer and my Vista laptop computer. Easy to set up with xp but had to email creative about my 64-bit Vista. They e-mailed me the solution and it worked fine after that. The unit works all over my house and sounds very clear. A neat rig.
Simply terrific!Jan 06, 2010
I am not an audiophile -- I just like to listen to music and I have always wanted the ability to have the music anywhere in the house that I wanted to hear it. I read the other reviews of this product and it sounded like just what I wanted.
The package arrived today. I didn't have time to mess around (I'm due at a meeting in just a few moments) so I just opened the box, attached the receiver to a pair of speakers in my entry hall, pushed the transmitter into a USB port and wow, there was music! No interference, no gaps in the playback: just crisp playback of some jazz I brought up quickly to test out the transmitter. I did not install the software (and probably won't); I didn't fiddle with any settings. I just popped in in the USB port and music filled the entry. Wonderful!
I use my google phone to control the PC from anywhere in the house, so that the music that is on my playlist hits a tune I'm not in the mood for, I can change to anything else that I like. I'm using Windows Media Player, and it couldn't be any simpler or better. No matter where I am, I can change the sound level, music, or whatever. Now I'm going back to get a pair of the wireless speakers to add another location in the house for better sound. Highly recommended!

Amazing ProductDec 29, 2009
As with anyone looking at this product, I have a lot of music on my computer and was really wanting a solution to stream it to me media room. This did the trick and it was SO SIMPLE to set up. I am amazed at how easy it was and how great it works and the sound is incredible. If you are in the market for a device like this, this is the way to go for sure.

 Pretty Good!Dec 29, 2009
I bought the Creative Wireless package in hopes that I could add to my makeshift home theatre system running off of my PC out into the outdoor porch of my house. When the product came, it was the good old Creative packaging that Ive come to love about all of their products. The plastic transparent from allows you to see inside and what you will be opening.
Everything was in order when I opened it and easily recognizable. The only problem I had was the instructions. I wish they would have created a more detailed instruction for various systems. My surround sound receiver did not have any "in" connections left, so I was forced to go directly to my speakers, which really isn't a huge issue.
I installed the software and plugged the receiver in. It synced right up and was playing the music in AND out of itunes. This may be an inconvenience for some that have random sounds play on their PC, such as AIM or MSN, but it's a small issue that can be fixed. The sound quality was great and the signal was awesome. The only problem with it that I faced was that whenever someone walked in front of the receiver, it'd loose its signal for a second.
I still haven't gotten the remote to function properly. I can't switch songs with it, nor can I control the volume, but it does power the device off. I will be doing more fiddling to see if I can correct this.
All in all, it was a great product that did exactly what I needed it to do. Good job Creative!
