Great product with lots of features. As an example of it’s range, I was able to go across the street and about half a house up before losing signal. Sound quality is fine for what it is-obviously won’t compare with the Hi-Fi in the living room, but you can’t set the Hi-fi up on the patio table out back while BBQing. Two-way connectivity is great, for those of us who still listen to music on something other than an iPod-as it also acts as an iPod dock for the home stereo inside. Would definitley recommend this gadget. Oregon Scientific has been making great quality wireless weather stations for years, its nice to see them venture into home audio technology.

Overview
Unleash the full potential of your iPod with the iBall wireless speaker system. Consisting of a portable wireless speaker and transmitter dock combo, the iBall plays your favorite iPod tracks from a distance of up to 100 feet without losing a hint of fidelity. Simply plug the iPod into the transmitter dock, which employs advanced 2.4 GHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology to wirelessly send crystal-clear digital audio to the speaker. The audio is smooth and powerful thanks to the high-quality electronics and the system’s three-speaker array and ported bass cavity. Plus, the iBall’s built-in remote control lets you control the iPod’s basic playback functions directly from the speaker, so you don’t need to trudge across the house to increase the volume or skip tracks.
The multifunctional transmitter dock also acts as a docking, charging, and synchronization station. In other words, you don’t need to disconnect the iPod from the iBall transmitter to recharge the batteries or transfer music from your iTunes-equipped Mac or PC, as the dock takes care of both functions. Just connect the dock to your computer’s USB or FireWire ports and you’re set. On the other end, the iBall speaker is completely cable-free, so you can locate it almost anywhere in the home–even on the back patio or in the garage–without worrying about a messy, cumbersome setup.
Listeners will also appreciate the iBall’s adjustable bass and treble controls, along with the easy-to-read LCD display that illuminates the time, volume, bass and treble levels, wireless signal strength, input selection, battery power, and play/pause status. Finally, the iBall includes both an auxiliary line-in mini-plug for connecting an additional audio source, such as a portable CD or MP3 player, and S-video and A/V stereo line-out mini-plugs. The latter jacks let you listen to or view iPod files through other A/V components, such as a home stereo system or TV, without buying an adapter. Additional features include a real-time clock and a wall bracket for the speaker.
The iBall speaker, which measures 8 by 7.4 by 7.7 inches (W x H x D), runs for six to eight hours on the included rechargeable batteries, which can be recharged while still in the speaker. The transmitter dock, meanwhile, checks in at 4.3 by 4.2 by 2.3 inches. The iBall’s seven docking tray adapters are compatible with the iPod shuffle (512 MB and 1 GB models), iPod mini (4 GB and 6 GB models), iPod with click wheel (20 GB and 40 GB models), iPod with dock connector (10 GB, 15 GB, 20 GB, 30 GB, and 40 GB models), iPod with color display (20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB, and 60 GB models), and iPod nano. The entire system is also backed by a one-year warranty.
