Creative Technology Xmod Wireless Music System

Creative Technology Creative Xmod Wireless Music System (70SB083000004)

$100.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the downside to this is the weak documentation on the interface between the transmitter and the computer system's media player.
from www.amazon.com
no drivers, no software, no special media players, nothing.
from www.amazon.com
input to the amplifier so that the stereo volume does not have to be adjusted everytime a source is switched (unlike my dvd player which has to be run at 1 1/2 times the volume of anything else).
from www.amazon.com
you also get a remote for each side and there are inputs so that you can connect an mp3 player.
from www.amazon.com
the formula also is solid (5 stages per level - 5 levels in all) giving players the ability to choose where they go in each level.
