So do satellite speakers mean wireless? I am thinking of purchasing this as a gift for my husband and want to mount speakers wirelessly if possible.

No, they mean surround like a satellite around the earth. You can buy a wireless unit to make them wireless. Wireless are more for just the two back speakers. But one thing to know as that they will still need to be plugged into the wall and wires will still have to go to the back speakers if you buy a wireless unit. Like a small box that will give the back speakers power and a signal will be plugged into the back wall with wires going to those back speakers. But with a wireless unit the wires will not have to go from the stereo/power unit to the back speakers. One note, I own these speakers and they are very awesome. The wires were easy to hide.

No, satellite speakers DO NOT mean wireless. I would not recommend wireless speakers anyway. The sound isn't as good as wired and they might interfere with your router connection. If you want to mount wired speakers on the wall, hire a professional to do it for you. It will cost a few $$, but worth it in the long run.

No satellite does not mean wireless, if you want a wireless system it will be specifically designated on the description as wireless. Bose makes a good wireless system but it is expensive. If you want "wireless surround sound" enter that in your search parameters. Beware of single speaker systems they are not as good as your typical 6 or 7 speaker system.

No -- all of these speakers require speaker wire connected between each speaker and the receiver.

Hello Allison, I bought the system as a gift for someone. I don't know the details of hooking it up. Sorry.

The speakers aren't exactly wireless. They're wired to an amplifier. Those are the two small speakers (surround). They are not however wired directly to the receiver.The two tall speakers (front speakers) are the ones that come with stands. Easy to hookup and wire to the receiver. I've had mine since late November and absolutely love it.

No, the speakers are not wireless. It might be worth running wires though. They sound great!!

No. The speakers are not wireless. I am not sure if I went back in and updated my review of this home theater system or not but this is NOT worth the money at all. The wires are extremely short and makes it impossible to place the speakers strategically around your living room, one of the speakers quit working after a couple of weeks... my husband ended up throwing the whole thing away after about a month. A complete waste of money if this would have not been a gift.

No, all speakers are wired as a standard. There is the option to buy the wireless receiver module, though. In that way you can drive the rear speakers wirelessly.

You would need to attached this speaker to a wireless receiver. You can do a web search, there are several available, but this is not as cost effective as just purchasing a wireless speaker to begin with.

No the speakers are not wireless. They all have to be plugged into both the receiver and the subwoofer that comes with it.

No they are not wireless. You would have to purchase a wireless transmitter and still connect the speakers to the transmitter. I have seen a transmitter at Radio Shack a couple of years ago. One piece hooks into your audio source and a second piece hooks up to your speakers thru speaker wire or rca audio cables. I didn't bother with it as it wasn't going to give me the flexibility I wanted in speaker placement.

Hi Chris, The speakers are not wireless. In order to NOT compromise on the sound quality and psychoacoustics, none of the BOSE home theater systems or speakers are wireless. It is well known that wireless technology required to deliver the same performance as wired speakers does not exist yet. The modules and transmitters are getting better everyday but are far from delivering equal or better performance compared to their wired counterparts. That being said, there are third party products that can add wireless capability to the rear speaker. There is a company called RocketFish for example that a lot of people mention. Good Luck. "WIRED is BETTER for Quality and Performance"

The unit is designed primarily as wireless rear surround speakers. They are somewhat a compromise as one is trading the more ambient sound of fixed wired speakers for the convenience of one wireless unit you can hide away till you need it. I imagine you could connect this to any output you could connect speakers to but what are you trying to accomplish?

Yes, they have to be connected via a cable that comes with the speakers and no they are not wireless with each other, just as the previous posted answers to your questions said. Hope this helps out.

I have these speakers and no, they are not wireless. I have no idea why it says that as that would be very misleading. Hardwired only.

No, it only works with wired speakers. It has no wireless/bluetooth output.

They need to be wired. "Wireless" speakers don't really exist, the ones that pass off as wireless speakers are more or less just battery power boom boxes and are not a replacement for true speakers like these.

Wouldn't it be possible to use some good speakers with this: I mean toss out the satellites and connect some good bookshelf speakers? Has anyone tried that?

It isn't wireless if you're using an external device. You have to use the 1/8" (headphone) to mini-USB cable to carry the signal.The same cable is also the charging cord.The only wireless option for this speaker is for you to copy your music to an SD card and run the speaker in "SD Card" mode.

there's a built in, wired plug that plugs into the port on your computer for the speakers. The description says "wireless" but they are not wireless.
