Does "wireless" mean that the speakers don't need to be connected by wire? If so, why is there info about the length of the speaker wire?

Wireless means you can use your ipod/smartphone to stream music to the Onkyo without plugging in. The speakers use wires. I had to buy a longer set.

The speakers do need to be connected to the system using the cords. Wireless means you can listen to music on an ipad or phone through your bluetooth connection without using wires to connect the device to the system.

The speakers are wired. Wireless refers to the bluetooth feature that allows you to play music from your smartphone or other wireless device.

No, they are not wireless, but they give you plenty of cable. It takes longer to assembe the stands (if you get them) then it does to put the rest of the system together. The speakers sound good, and the woofer has plenty of bass, especially if you crank up the rheostat in the rear of the woofer.

Its not wireless. Connects to the sound bar with three component wires (left, center, right) for each speaker.

You are correct, a wire does connect the two speakers. I have enjoyed these speakers for the past year and they connect well and work great. I actually used speaker wire to extend the distance between the two speakers and they both still sound great.

The wires are connected to the speakers and you connect it to the sub. And you plug the sub to the outlet. The speakers are NOT wireless from the sub. But the whole system is wireless from the computer. It occupies a USB port.

It is not a wireless speakers device so there are cables back to the small speakers from woofer. If you want to extend the speakers away from the regular distance you need to buy. Other than that it should be okay.. In picture you are seeing a Volume control knob with a cable - its a decent size cable. it is pretty much enough. As long as if you keep your woofer near to the device you are good.

They are not really wireless - there is one wireless (wireless only while connecting to the base unit) receiving unit that does have a wire that plugs into the wall. The wireless receiving unit is wired to the two rear speakers.

The speakers aren't exactly wireless. They're wired to an amplifier. Those are the two small speakers (surround). They are not however wired directly to the receiver. The two tall speakers (front speakers) are the ones that come with stands. Easy to hookup and wire to the receiver. I've had mine since late November and absolutely love it.

Hello, The speakers have a 100 foot range and can work in a home that has many wireless signals. The speaker kit connects to one device at a time, but is easy to disconnect and connect to another device. To set up you connect the speaker wires, plug in the speakers, and turn the power on. It's that easy! I hope this was helpful!!

In my opinion, there is no such thing. Wireless speakers just don't have the sound quality/clarity of wired speakers. Also, the term "wireless" is misleading. Most wireless systems simply mean that there are no wires from the receiver to the rear speakers. Most of the time, those rear speakers are still connected to a wireless receiver in the back of the room by, you guessed it, wires. The reason is that speakers need to be powered somehow. There are a few options that will give you true wireless speakers, but they require batteries, and the speakers drain the batteries fairly quickly. Unless you have no way of running wires, I suggest getting a wired system or a good quality soundbar.

Yes, they have to be connected via a cable that comes with the speakers and no they are not wireless with each other, just as the previous posted answers to your questions said. Hope this helps out.

I have these speakers and no, they are not wireless. I have no idea why it says that as that would be very misleading. Hardwired only.

Wires are attached to the speakers. You do not need any wire unless you need the speakers to be further away from the receiver (or run through a wall), in that case you will have to get some wire and do some cutting and splicing.

The speakers themselves are not wireless, but you can add the capability if you want to spend the money. Reference http://www.kef.com/html/us/showroom/wireless_solutions/universal_wireless_system/overview/ for one option.

No it's not wireless, it's Bluetooth, which means the speakers connect by wires, but you can play your ipod, ipad or iphone music through it without wires. You can even talk on your cellphone and hear it through the speakers if you want to, Which is really nice.

Powered or non powered doesn't matter. The wire is only carrying a communication pulse to your speakers

there's a built in, wired plug that plugs into the port on your computer for the speakers. The description says "wireless" but they are not wireless.
