i have been avoiding it for as long as possible, cuz i prefer the stability of a wired connection.


but i recently had to upgrade my ipod, and not much supports that small 8 pin connector, in terms of portable music systems


and it seems like the overwhelming majority of speaker systems are going bluetooth. some of those bluetooth speakers also support the standard plug


but i have all my mp3s loaded into itunes, so i stuck with an ipod. that may or not have been my best choice ?


anyways, how reliable are these wireless connections ?


do they ever phase in and out ?


i just bought a stereo bluetooth portable system from etekcity last night, so wont receive it for a week.


it had pretty good reviews, and was about the size that i wanted.

I have a few of those portable BT speakers that I use mostly with my iPad. I sometimes get dropouts when the iPad is in the house and the speaker is outside, but usually everything is fine.

I'm moving this to the speaker forum. I did a quick scan of the Mac and PC forums and didn't see iPod or computer speaker discussions there.

thanks,


it sounds like i will do fine, then


my ipod will be right next to my speaker system (probably touching)


i was sorta wondering or skeptical as to how good a wireless connection was when compared to a wire ?


i bought 2 stereo speakers from amazon, due to arrive in a couple days


but i wont really know how well they work until i put them in action


i use them about 6 hours a day throughout the summer

both of my speakers came today. i think either one of them plays well enough for what i want to do with them.


one from soundance and one from etekcity


i guess i wont know about missing signals until i actually use it
