I bought this from another vendor, hooked up easily with no issues. The remove was a bit heavy, but worked anywhere from my house (wifi-remote), really cool. The sound was awesome and I was so excited thinking that I found the one I like. Worked fine 45min-1hour. I switched off and tried to switch on again. The base died and did not power on. Thought there might be a issue with the dock and exchanged with a complete new system. To my surprise, this one got the same issue. I exchanged again second time (as I like the sound clarity so much) but same issue, so it went back.
As much I like the sound quality, I am so upset about the dock getting died after the first power off. Wasted so much time on hooking, unhooking, taking it to the store etc.
Never buy this again.

This is the 2nd ilive speakers I have purchased. The 1st one was from Costco online. I had it working for one day and then it quit. So, of course, being Costco, they took it back and I got a gift card. I was going to purchase another one but Costco took it off their website. That should have been my clue that this system is horrible. But stupid me I found the ilive again on Amazon and ordered it. Costco’s came with 4 speakers but Amazon had only 2. Anyway, I now have to figure out how to send it back.

Even thought I read the bad reviews I took a chance and purchased it. The product lacked workmanship quality, the buttons are small, feels like a toy, seems somewhat cheap. Good packaging, good shipping,,, but one of the speaker turn on and then it died. The other worked fine and it paired fine, the quality of sound is pretty good but the volume is somewhat limited if you use it outdoors. I am returning it since I lost confidence on the quality of the product. I would consider looking for other similar products from a different manufacturer.

This system is horrendous. It played beautifully for 3 hours, every speaker working. Then, suddenly, the base unit died and was unresponsive. DPI (the maker of the system) sent me a replacement base. I paired the speakers to the new base, and now, two speakers sounded horrible and scratchy and one would no longer link with the base unit. Again, I called DPI and told them two speakers were scratchy. They said they’d send two more, but only sent one. The one replacement was also scratchy and horrible sounding, so I am giving up and will be returning this system to [...] where I purchased it. Also, the idea that this could be indoor/ outdoor is laughable, as the speakers appeared sensitive to TOUCH, and WALKING IN FRONT OF THEM!! DPI needs to go back to the drawing board.

I purchased the set and pairing was really easy. It worked for 30 minutes and the dock died (no power, no nothing). I returned it and purchased another set. The second set worked for 45 minutes and the dock died. The sound was pretty decent and had a good coverage for the wireless speakers – only if they got the dock to work it would be useful. This product is horrible! What I waste of time to pair the speakers and have something working for a few minutes.
