Home : Hardware : Reviews : A-250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System
The wireless USB Bluetooth dongle is extremely easy to use, with a simple plug and play set-up. A quick push of the top button on the dongle activates it and it is automatically detected by the speaker unit. The speakers even auto-power down when they don’t receive a signal for an extended period of time. The range on the 2.4 GHZ wireless connection is quite decent, so it is not a problem to take the speakers to a separate room than the transmitter, assuming you aren’t living in an MTV crib.
$130 is definitely not a cheap price. However, if you are in the market for a very compact, wireless 2.1 system, and don’t mind a very odd form factor, the A-250 may be just what you are looking for. The quality of sound and ease of operation definitely set this unit apart from cheaper systems that lack the range of frequency, especially in the bass representation.

Highs
Decent sound quality for size; Wired or wireless connectivity; LCD readout; Media controls are on speaker unit; Works with batteries or included A/C adapter; Cleaning cloth included.
Lows
Lacking in midrange frequencies; Style is a little over the top; A little on the pricey side.
Final verdict
The A-250 is one funky looking little piece of hardware. If you can overlook the strange form factor, however, you’ll find a great sounding, easy to operate, compact wireless 2.1 speaker system.
