Buying Tips for Wireless Home Theater Systems

When you are ready to purchase your own, you will find that there are plenty of wireless home theater systems to choose from.  The differences are usually accounted for in size, style, quality and capability.  To make the best possible decision for your personal needs, you should first consider the basics:

Visually, what kind of wireless home theater fits the design of your home?

 Most people care deeply about the aesthetics of their home.  It is considered a sanctuary, a retreat from the burgeoning influence of the public.  In their own home, people are free to decorate and design their space as it pleases them.  It is important to reflect upon the type of style you’d like your home theater system to reflect.  While basic black units may be plentiful, there are also many options that are more reflective of personal style.  Fluance, for instance carries several lines with vinyl finishes that mimic natural wood.

Where will you be placing your wireless speakers, and how large is that space?

Always be sure to decide on placement for your wireless home theater before you purchase the unit. Generally, you can expect to receive five or more components- individual pieces that will all need their own space in your home.  Consider your area- realistically, what size is it large enough to accommodate?  Do you plan on keeping wireless speakers in plain view?  Or would you rather they not be seen?  If discrete is your preference, you’re in luck, as several top tech companies are catering to that demand and producing compact wireless home theater speakers so small, they can easily be hidden from view.    

How important is sound quality?  Are you interested in basic audio output, or is optimal power and clarity the only option for you?

Certain features of wireless home theaters make all the difference when it comes to sound.  If you are interested in purchasing a high quality audio experience, here are some of the things you should look for:

  • High Quality Receivers:  Generally, class D digital amplifiers are known for delivering crisp and powerful sound.
  • Powered subwoofers: They feature built in amplification that delivers sound with rich depth.
  • Digital Equalizers:  Home theater receivers sometimes have built in digital equalizers that serve to balance the frequency within the unit and produce more defined sound.  



Some other factors you may want to consider are features and price.  Sure, wireless home theater systems transmit sound, but what else can they do?  And what will it cost? 

  • Is Wi-Fi access important to you?  Do you want to be able to stream content from online services like Pandora and YouTube?
  • What budget have you allocated for your new wireless home theater?  Are you interested in investing for a system that could potentially save your money in the future?  


Several notable functions, like Wi-Fi and iPod docking for instance, are available in various models.  Know which of these features you’d like in your sound system, before you begin shopping.  Last, but certainly not least, be sure to know your budget. A complete wireless home theater system ranges greatly in price, starting at less than one hundred dollars and costing as much as several thousand.  

If you begin your purchasing process by focusing on your personal requirements, followed up with research on which models meet those requirements, it can be an easy and fun experience selecting your very own wireless home theater!
