 Play your PC music collection all around your house wirelessly and with superior sound! August 31, 2007

The Xmod Wireless comes in 2 parts, a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter connects very simply to your PC via USB and it functions as a USB soundcard, applying X-Fi sound enhancement to any sound or music that is passed through it. Compressed audio like AAC, WMA and MP3 files are upscaled to 24 bit quality and surround sound effects can be added.
You have to experience this to appreciate it. It really does make your music sound better. Sometimes the improvement is more subtle than at other times, but the quality X-Fi provides really shines when you connect the receiver end of the Xmod Wireless to a good set of speakers that you might have in your theater or family room.
So, on to part 2 of the package. The wireless receiver. This enables you to control and listen to your music anywhere you place the receiver in your house. Your PC music collection is streamed around the house with top notch quality and fidelity. I have my receiver connected to my theater setup and the sound is fantastic. You can purchase additional receivers if you'd like to play your music in multiple rooms.
Cool things about the package overall. The range is great and there is no lag. Plus, it just works. You don't need to have your own network or anything running already. Just turn on the receiver and transmitter and away you go, nothing to fuss with. If you do have a network running, this won't interfere with it at all. I think both units are stylish as well. They fit right in with high end equipment and they are pretty small.
You also get a remote for each side and there are inputs so that you can connect an MP3 player. With the remotes, you can skip tracks, pause tracks, turn on and off the X-Fi features, etc.
I don't really have any negatives other than the price, but I still think it's worth it. Sonos has products with similar features that cost up to $1000. Xmod Wireless gives you what you need with better audio technology for a lot less. It would also be nice to have a small display on the receiver unit so you can see what you are browsing.
Overall, Xmod Wireless is highly recommended. The unique combination of a driverless and simple to use USB soundcard with a high quality streaming device is an excellent way to introduce your PC to your home theater setup or to any room of your house.

This product will shortly be in the dust bin of bad technology. I have several Creative Labs products and all of them are pretty good. My Audigy 2Z platinum pro is great on my desktop. But I'm looking for a laptop media solution and this was not a good choice. First the unit reduces the volume output in all modes from the original source. Second the unit does not work with any of the media players on my laptop including one by Creative. Third the units volume control does not work when you use it digitally through the USB port as designed. I didn't even bother hooking up the receiver when I saw the transmitter does not work. Forget about any help what-so-ever from Creative. They only answer you with automated emails and their call in line is useless. This product looks great but it does not live up to the hype.
Sounded Terrible on my Stereo July 2, 2008

I was excited to see this because I love the idea of being able to hear MP3 files on the "big stereo" in the den. I have a very nice Yamaha receiver and Klipsch speakers, and when I hooked up this contraption, the sound was simply horrible. I tried all the adjustments I could find - like turning off any effects on my receiver and this thing...nothing worked. Very distorted sound, nowhere near as good as CD or even radio.
Bad reviews of products I own always confuse me. February 6, 2008

This is a truly plug and play solution. No drivers, no software, no special media players, nothing. Plugged them in - one to my laptop via USB and one to my old Bose 501 system via 3.5mm stereo jack. Boom - everything works, everything sounds OK. Played my Yahoo Launchcast, played my Windows Media Player, no problems. My only complaint is why aren't the remotes RF? Why would you use IR remotes on something that you should be able to tuck away and never see again? That said, the RF remote on my Bose stereo is all we really need. After playing with it a while, I broke out the instructions to make sure I wasn't missing anything cool. Nope, nothing to miss, the whole process took me about 5 minutes and 4.5 of them were to unpack the thing. I use this system for the Muzak in our showroom, and to rock out when we are closed. I'd highly recommend this system to anyone wanting to broadcast your computer music to your stereo remotely.

I've had the Creative Labs Xmod Wireless Music System for about four months now & it works fine. I previously had my pc hard wired to my stereo receiver but after moving things around the house, I did not want to re-run all the cables again. The system works a lot better then an older Logitech system I used for about a year. No interference at all. I use three receivers throughout my house - in the living room, garage & basement & I'm very happy with the way they work. The only "issue, if you would call it that, is that the volume for itunes is alot lower when using this system, then when I use Windows Media Player, or listen to internet radio, but that's most likely an itunes issue. I'd recommend this setup to anyone who wants to listen to audio from their pc anywhere in the house.
