Saitek A-250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System
$49.99 + $5 shipping
condition: New
product(s): 1 Saitek iFreedom A-250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System

amazon for 89$

it's those darth vader speakers again! they look bigger than they did last time. Guess the former woot mainstain bulked up for it's appearance on sellout.woot.

still sucks though.

Not too great a deal this time.

Just be sure that you don't expect great sound quality from this thing (I have a very, very similar model). Still, it's wireless.

I don't need it... but is it evil to lurk here waiting for the "got three... what did I just do????" posts?

My unbroken string of sellout.woots has now been broken. Don't want a speaker system that looks like a sausage.

I have the baby brother (sister?) to this and I love it. Works and sounds great.

I have been waiting for this product from woot a long time. I needed a wireless speaker system. Thanks woot! Now, the next thing I need is a great wireless keyboard and a cordless phone system. The refurb (rox0rz!) one I got from you died after 2 years.

well another $154.97 gone to another usless woot sellout. This will definatly put a crimp in my wallet. I have to stop buying crap I will never use, Woot, please cancell my account, please please please please

The price might honestly be worth it just for the bluetooth transmitter. I'm tempted.

A while back, I bought a no-name equivalent from the UK to stream music from my iPod to my motorola HT-820 bluetooth headphones. It works like a charm, and I paid almost as much, and that dongle doesn't work with USB..nor did it come with speakers.

Froogle

I am in for a few. The A-200 was a nice system and this is more what I would like for my office or outside. Can't beat the price. it is $89.99 on Amazon and avg cost of $76.50 on Ebay.

Hmm no thanks I'll pass looks ugly and too expensive

Oh my oh my. I think I will buy yet two more of something I only want one of.

I am aware will not be huge stats, But what is the RMS and PEAK on the speakers.

OMG I got 3, what did I just buy? What did I do? OMG this isn't funny anymore.....LMAO

$95.00 at Ebay including shipping

But who would want it? I thought this was sellout woot, looks like another woot site that the prices keep going up at. guess i wil keep watching for a deal even if most of the time there isn't one.

Got one...really good deal...retails over $100 on the web...I'm such a geek ;P

I got 3....

W00t W00t

In for one! I have the smaller A-200 and the thing is pisser. Works great...very nice sound for such a small unit. Use it on the porch with my i-river mp3 DAP for rocking a small gathering with a few beers and everyone was impressed with it's output and asked many questions about the little unit. Battery life is good and easily plugs in to AC for even longer play times. This one, being bigger, + w/ blue teeth...should be a very pleasing unit. Rate this one a BUY...good price too!

Did anybody else find this the most hilarious comment you have read in a long time? The A-250's are great practical speakers, time to serenade myself in the shower. Im in for uno.

anybody know if this thing can pair with my lg chocolate without using that giant dongle?

hmmm....
base from description
Bluetooth speaker for any A2DP source (mobiles, laptops)
according to http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=980

LG Chocolate
Supported Profiles: HSP, HFP, DUN, A2DP, AVRC, OPP
version 1.1 / OPP for vCard only

so we find a match of A2DP between both....
Therefore... It's compatible.

Next time please do the homework yourself. ^_^

Im still laughing all the way to the poor house

Be sure to take note of the NewEgg guy who only gave this 3 eggs, stating:

Other Thoughts: I really like the wirless feature, I can control what my daughter listens to when she is sleeping in the her bedroom. I usually play classicals in a cd boom box, but I have to change the cd every 40-60 mins when the whole cd is finished. Now I can put a long list of ape music files on the play list of winamp, which usually runs 3-5 hours.

Exactly what I look for in a woot!

Now where is my motivation to do that when I have you here? ;-)

But seriously, thanks, I'm at work and don't have the time to read it throughly.

Hi, liammc. 100 mlliwatts output, what do you expect from 4 batteries .aa . Nice tree picture. do you live in the doghouse under it? funnies are to laugh at for all.

Thanks for making my night! "Chocolate" and "Dongle" in the same sentence!

I think I read it right, the broadcaster is bluetooth correct? If so would I be able to connect my cell phone to it?

No wine.woot? Piker!

I'm not a major audiophile with 1000+ albums on my PC. (Working on that.) Wireless & Bluetooth are tempting, but I'm hopelessly in love with my Logitech Flat Panel speaker. I love it so much I picked up 3 in the Woot-off that followed and shared my love with my hubby and 2 kids. If I ever see those on Woot again, I'll be getting another 3.

sellout.woot seems to stay on $0.01 items for a few days, then bounce to a higher priced item for a day or so. At least, that's what I'm hoping "sellout" means...

I was going to ask about how often you did laundry, but then a strong sense of "Don't want to know" came over me.

Anybody know if this would work with a xbox 360?
