Review: iWing SR-HD – Wireless Stream Music to your Speakers

Name: iWing SR-HD | Price: CHF 139.99 [Buy it] | Rating: 4.5/5

The Amazilla iWing SR-HD has truly revolutionized the way I listen to music in my room. I had never really been interested in wirelessly streaming music from my iPhone to my speakers because for some reason, I thought the quality would decrease or it wouldn’t work well. But, I am really glad Amazilla have introduced me to their iWing SR-HD product – allowing you to wirelessly stream music from your iPod to your speakers!

The Amazilla iWing SR-HD comes with both their SR and HD products. The iWing SR contains the two wireless components; the receiver, which you stick into the 30 pin connector on the bottom your iPod and the sender which has a headphone jack that you plug into your speakers. The receiver has a rechargeable battery within that can be recharged using an included adapter.

The sender has a button which is used to turn on the wireless sending and is also what you use to connect the two together. The headphone jack, which is on the bottom of the sender, is on a hinge allowing you to plug in the device at angle necessary.

The receiver has a red LED light on the front allowing you to know when a signal is being received. If no signal is being received after 3 minutes, the receiver will automatically turn off to conserve battery.

The iWing HD is a dock station which has both a compartment for you to place your iPhone when you aren’t using it and want to recharge it, and a compartment to place the wireless sender into. You can then plug in both the power and speaker through separate ports at the back of the dock.

The connection between the two is done at a frequency of 2.4 GHZ and actually allows you to have 12 m distance between.

There is no audible quality decrease however, there is a slight high pitch whistle that can sometimes be heard through the speakers when at low volume. This is most likely caused by some sort of interference in my room. I originally thought that it must be my iPhone itself but putting it into airplane mode didn’t change anything. As I said, this can only be heard at low volumes so if you crank it up a bit, it is barely audible.

Because of this problem, I decided to try it through a different set of speakers AND not through the dock. This caused the whistling to stop. I’m not sure what’s going on here but I do not think it is the iWing SR’s fault.

So if you are in the market for a way to listen to your music cable free, I think the iWing SR-HD is definitely worth checking out.
