Wireless surround sound systems

[ryanhavana]

Anyone have any experience?

I don't know what I'm looking for really.

Anything up to £300 but looking to spend around £200

We have a Sony Blu Ray/3D player so we don't need one of those, just the sound system

Thanks

Do you specifically need wireless? It severely limits your options.

I have a basic Logitech system for my room, the rear speakers are wireless but they each need to be plugged in its a basic system but it does 5.1 and dts very well.

Thought I would bump this as I'm after one too.

I want it to work through the Xbox and then when I'm watching t.v too.

I have absolutely no experience with surround sound systems so any info on different set ups would be handy too.

something like this would be worth considering, sell on your old blu ray and put the money towards this (can be had for about 430 elsewhere!)


epic bit of kit.

I have a Sony DAV-IS50 (http://www.sony.co.uk/product/hcs-surround-kit---dvd-player/dav-is50), with wireless rear speakers, although as someone else mentioned above they still need to be plugged in for power. This is a few years old now, so you'll only be able to buy a used on, there is probably a newer model though.

The reason I got a wireless system is because my house is open plan downstairs, with laminate flooring throughout and running wires from the TV to the rear speakers would be a royal PITA, but with this system I have a receiver plugged in behind the sofa and the wires to the 2 rear speakers go from that, which is much easier.

The 5 speakers are tiny though, amazing how much sound they deliver, very discreet for hiding in a room (keeps the wife happy), literally golf ball sized!

If you must go wireless then I'm out as I don't have any knowledge on them, however if you're open to wired then for £400-500 you can bag a better system than any of the above (no offence guys), but it's worth reading up a bit before doing so!

If I didn't need wireless then I wouldn't have got a setup like that, but running wires is difficult in my current house, if you don't really need it then I agree stick with wires as it does massively limit your options.

The Sony system cost me £300 all-in and for the money it is good, I read some reviews beforehand and for what I need it's spot on, I rarely use it anyway TBH

Realised that wireless is probably more of a pain than a nice idea.

Can do wired too!

Appreciate the advice thus far!
