Gadgetell Review: i2i Stream - tin foil - Top

The i2i Stream is a pair of devices that lets you wirelessly stream audio from one device to another that has a list price of $119.95, but you can find it online for lower. 

• 2 i2i Streams
• 2 12” audio cables
• 2 28” audio cables
• 2 USB cables
• 2 neck lanyards
• 2 belt clips
• 1 user guide

The devices do exactly what i2i says it does.  Eachdevice can serve as either the transmitter or receiver which is pretty handy.  You can pair multiple receivers to one transmitter.  You hook up one transmitter to the audio source and then plug in your headphones to the receiver.  The i2i stream makes any pair of headphones wireless.  The i2i guys don’t skimp on what you get with the device with plenty in the package.

The devices charge over USB using mini USB cables.  There are no annoying proprietary power supplies here.  According to i2i, you can stream and charge at the same time.  Audio quality was quite good and sounded as if you were listening via regular headphones connected to a device.  The range of the Streams is around 30 feet and we had no problems pairing the devices or staying within that range.  Multiple receivers can pair with one transmitter.

In the home, you could use the i2i to build a multi-room audio set up.  So if you are watching a movie in your living room, you can have the audio repeating in your kitchen as you go for a snack.  Additionally, since it makes any set of headphones wireless, you can use this with your A/V receiver for private listening via headphones without needing a long extension cord. 

The price is a bit hefty at $119.95 and there is no user replaceable battery. 

This is strictly an audio streaming device and cannot replace a mp3 player.  A micro SD card slot may have been nice so you can just carry this as a screenless MP3 player.  I mention these additions due to the price. 

For the most part, there is not much to the i2i stream.  It sends and receives audio and it does that well.  The audio quality is good, but you better have a good use for it before you buy it.
