Bloody Good Stuff: Eos

While having an iPod is great, and owning an iPod speaker dock is even better, have you ever wished that you could get more from your device? More as in digital surround sound pumping effortlessly from your living room windows? Meet Eos – the first digitally wireless iPod based system that will once again make you proud that you’ve invested in an iPod…( I mean let’s be honest, iPods encouraged everyone to step up their personal musical game. What was it really like before they came along? – A tape cassette here, a random CD there?)

Now you can enjoy all your favorites freely while indulging in the luxury of wireless surround sound throughout your home or even while baking in the sun at the beach. With the ability to broadcast over 150 feet, the sound is crisp, clear and strong. Because the system is digital, the music experience is static and interference free. With one main iPod dock and 4 accompanying Eos wireless speakers one is able to blanket up to five rooms with warm beats and rhythms.

The system is easily controlled by streaming music from one’s iTunes library, via an iPod remote, which is then automatically fed to all of the Eos speakers. The hassle free device has an integrated power supply which allows one to hang a speaker directly onto the wall outlet without having to mount it. This power supply can also be removed if you’d like your speaker to sit on a desk, bookshelf or counter.

Perhaps the best thing about this painless gadget is its price. The base unit and 4 speakers total $200; which does not even compare to the cost it would be to install wired surround sound within a standard sized home. It is also a splendid idea for apartment or condo dwellers where surround sound is not typically not be an option. Put in your holiday bid early for Eos by logging on to www.eoswireless.com
