Logitech Wireless DJ Music System Review: Perhaps the Coolest F’ing Device Ever

Each day it seems another piece of my home theater system is falling into place. Last night I hooked up the Logitech Wireless DJ Music System. While I hate the “DJ” part of the name the rest is accurate. Basically we wanted a way to get our digital music to the new stereo set-up downstairs without another bulky piece of hardware or having to physically move an iPod or other device between the office upstairs and the stereo downstairs.

A very simple software install sets up the music you want to access. I chose iTunes and file folders. Then you hook up one sensor via USB to your computer.

Downstairs I plugged in the remote’s cradle into the Monster Power and some spare high-end RCA cables into the receiver and the remote station was now hooked up to the Polk in-ceiling speakers.

The remote turned on, a cool-looking blue color backlit the display and I selected an “A” band Audioslave. The first song to come out of the system sounded like shit. Oh no, the warning about being more than seven feet away must be accurate. But what would be the point of having this system if it couldn’t jump floors like I wanted it to do? Then I realized the receiver was set to the “Live” music setting. A quick button press got “Pop/Rock” and the room was alive with music.
