Podz Wireless Speakers

Catalog retailer Brookstone today began offering the Podz wireless speaker set. Opting for RF wireless instead of the Bluetooth of the similarly-shaped Planète, the speakers gain substantial range over most similar systems. Brookstone claims a range of up to 150 feet from the base station for either satellite, even when transmitting through floors or walls.

Listeners also have a choice of portability, according to the retailer. Connected to their respective base units, each speaker can be powered indefinitely when a wall outlet is nearby; however, they can also operate completely wirelessly for approximately two hours by means of internal rechargeable batteries. The Podz set accepts audio from any headphone minijack source and is already in stock at Brookstone for $180.
