 Look Ma! No Wires! This kind of thing isn't new; it basically streams media from your PC to a stereo wirelessly. Whereas most media receivers send tunes over WiFi or Ethernet, the Logitech avoids the traffic jam and configuration headaches using a widely-known wireless PAN technology - Bluetooth. And over this 2.4Ghz frequency, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (aka. A2DP) is the only option to transfer stereo audio from the USB transmitter to the receiver. "The Logitech Wireless Music System for PC is appealing to those who don't want to struggle with setting up WiFi encryption, understanding the politics behind the DRMs and upgrading firmwares on some of the more sophisticated media receivers. Given its $149.99 (list) price tag, possible additions of a 2-line LCD and a digital output would be nice. All in all, you are exchanging functionality for simplicity, and it's now up to you to assess whether the Logitech will work for you in the long run." |
