apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I don't know how this would save the world, but it could potentially save my relationship.

Oh no, I can never be
The thing of horror I see
Under the rifle fire,
Trussed on the wire . . . the wire.

Description: Plan to save the world.

Tactical Execution of Aforementioned Plan: Take one unemployed comedian who tapes all his bits and listens to them on iTunes to continue revising them. Give him a wireless iPod speaker system so he can do this anywhere in his apartment or on the roof of his apartment building.

Result: Laughter of proportions difficult to imagine. Meaning pretty large proportions. World saved.

I've got an open floorplan, so it would be awesome to have music in all the entertaining areas!

Seriously, with this I could play subliminal relaxing music in my daughter's room and perhaps get her to sleep at a decent hour!

Well, I would put the base in the living room, add a speaker to the bedroom and office, and then take a couple outside to the patio (on nice sunny days). With music throughout the house, I'd be more motivated to clean the house with my eco-friendly Method cleaning products, thereby producing one cleaner house in the world. And with music going outside, I would spend more time there tending the veggie garden (sustainable living!), pruning the fruit trees, weeding (by hand, no chemicals!), and relaxing.

Plus, with the speakers outside my neighbors would know that I, too, am a country music fan so maybe they would chill out a little and be nicer. As we all know, nice neighbors make the world go round and we would all be in a better place.

My TV room isn't that big but this sure would enhance our TV by putting the speakers strategically placed for the best sound and sound effects.

This would be great for music when I'm trying to sleep.

Scattered throughout my looooong flat...

it is the essential component to my time machine. i will go save the future.

Base station in the living room, satellites in the bedroom, bathroom, hallway, and kitchen. World saved.

Hello portable party speakers for the backyard! I'm already putting together a "tunes to BBQ to" playlist.

Oh I can finally listen to music wherever I go in my house since I am never in one spot...thanks to all the cleaning,, running around kids, doing this and that!

perhaps not save the world, but it would save my neighbors from clawing their ears out, since my favorite (and embarrassing) past time is blasting the computer speakers from the corner of my living room apartment with Justin Timberlake hits while I clean, cook, and shower.

it does, however, save MY world from boring, no-dancing, unthinkably blah cleaning routine!

I'm not sure how I would save the world with it, but I'd spread love through music ;)

i would save the world from silence. one room at a time.

My 13 month-old daughter would grow up in a home full of beautiful music.

Insert the MP3 and listen to classical with the kiddies, and one day I will get around to listening to "Madame Butterfly." Ahhhh.......

base station in living room and a satellite in the kitchen and each bedroom...

Music, music everywhere - master bath, bedroom, office and kitchen.

I once had a dream where my soul, and then eventually the world, was saved by rock'n'roll. Since it was a dream I mostly forgot the details of how this happened after I woke up, but I think it started with me having the ability to seamlessly listen to Joe Satriani guitar solos as I walked through various rooms of my house.

I might finally leave my bedroom!

I would put the base in my bedroom, then take the speakers to whatever room we are in or maybe outside.

Rock me, Joe. Pixies everywhere.

Even more tunes in the bathroom for me!

Music on the patio? Heavenly!

I need to win this, because then my wife will be able to enjoy tunes in the garden!

And if I have five speaker sets, I can have up to three additional wives! What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

This audio system would be great in our living room. We could have sound all around the whole room.

We're getting older and the hearing is apparently getting weaker. It would be great to place speakers strategically around the tv room and eliminate the need to turn the tv sound on high.

i think that i would put it in my building made of hay

I will donate what I would have spent on the new component system I've been looking at to a worthy cause of my choice. And don't worry - my choices are good.

I would open my doors and treat the world to the soothing sounds of... Beck?

Well, this would certainly serve as an impetus to finish uploading all my cds which I could then donate to people with similar musical taste...or turn into coasters. Whichever. It's still repurposing.

This is an awesome setup. I would have the speakers in my office, bedroom and kitchen. The fourth one I would bring outside to help drown the noisy neighbors while I work in the garden.

i would actually give this to my mother
she would love to use these for her classes
on alternative medicine and therapy.
just think of it
you go to learn about music therapy
and you walk into a room where that music is everywhere
she would just love it!

I would use this awesome set up in the kitchen, laundry room, and patio/garden so that I can listen to my podcasts without earphones.

I'm a teacher, and this might help my sanity, in turn allowing me to educate the youths of America!

The long, narrow Vic in which I live is full of tiny, strange, enclosed spaces. This is really the perfect solution to a problem I have been mulling over for some time. Cool. If we can solve this, can world peace be far behind?

I would use it mostly to play music

to have music when i am in the shower, cooking in the kitchen, or simply trying to fall asleep in my room. and the beauty of it all is that i could do it all without annoying my roommate!

After a looooong day at work, and long evenings tutoring scared teens, my roommate and I can rock out no matter where we are in our tiny little house! Just to escape from the pressure of forming young minds for a brief while would help us to recharge and be ready to better help save the world tomorrow.

another great prize, I'd love to win

1. Use Eos 100T1RB Wireless Audio System to pipe classical music into every room in the house so toddler cannot escape it.
2. Wait for widely-documented Mozart effect to transform toddler into genius.
3. Now-genius toddler grows into genius man who earns Nobel prizes for peace and ending world hunger.
4. World is saved.

That's the plan, anyway. Thanks for the contest!

To save the world, I'd bring this in to work to eliminate the unbearable silence that often plagues the office.

Actually, I guess this would be more of a "saving my own sanity" kind of thing.

finally there will be music everywhere!

I'd save the world by using it outside on my deck/patio. I'd be able to drown out the noise from the dog next door and be a hero to all my neighbors!

One for the living room, one for the bedroom, one for the patio. Oh, this would be so great!

Outside on the porch

to soothe the savage beast (near the dog's bed)
to lift the spirits to the sky (on the balcony)
to inform my world view (AM bathroom)
to stir the muses (in the office)
to shake it (all up in there)

Ill use this system outside by my grill. I cant hear my regular stereo very well there so it would be huge!

I would give a satellite unit to four other apartments within reasonable proximity to me.

1. when you Don't Stop Believing....
2.after you have made way to many bad decisions...
3. trying to exorcise that Sunday morning hangover..
4. When you need good music to put together Ikea Furniture to

Between the 5 of us we could share in these moments collectively, music serving as a conduit between our souls, we would all be connected. Any everything will be OK.

While in the bedroom.

I would use this sound system to listen to whale songs.

Or the 35,000 songs on my iPod. Either way, it would greatly imporve my life.

Kisses!

Oh, my patients would love it!

I would listen to NPR podcasts while cooking in the kitchen, reading magazines at my bed, or working at my desk! (I wonder how one would hold up in the bathroom... my showers could use some oomph!)

Chastity the bunny rabbit? I suppose it could happen....
I'm always turning on multiple radios as I go from the office to the kitchen, etc. It would be nice to have the music on in the room before I even get there!

I live alone. I am afraid of the dark, and silence scares me. Please give me the Eos.

Nice prize!

more and better parties will doubtlessly improve the world. it's documented.

i could fill my entire house with music - not just one room.

This would be a great addition to our audio system. I would place the speakers in the main living areas of the house, plus one in our enclosed outdoor living area.

Drown my neighbors out with my collection of Van Halen bootleg shows

we love to hang out on the deck while our kids play in back and we bbq, this would be perfect and beats our current method o turning up the stereo loud to hear it.

I would love to be take a speaker out to my deck this summer to listen to music.

I don't know about saving the world, but not tripping over wires while enjoying great music throughout the house might save my sanity. Thanks for the chance to win.

My owner has wires running all over the apartment.

Sometimes I get confused and think I can chew on them.

I'm always wrong. Please help!

~Hudson the Cat

We would love music throughout the house

i will have that right next to my computer as i am chained to my chair

Replace a 20 year old relic that my husband keeps insisting is fine. Hey maybe we can replace him too.

WOW If I win this I could finally get hubby to get rid of the 4 huge speakers in the living room They are the old fashion big big big wooden speakers and they are a pain to move to clean behind them they are so heavy and did I say ugly. They are dark wood and don't match anything.

please please pick me so that I can remain in the 21th century

My dog listens to music while i'm at work so he'll love these speakers!

won an ipod need to win this good luck to all.
THANK YOU GOD BLESS

My current system does not allow me to hear my music throughout the whole household. Due to this, the volume is typically turned up quite loud to be able carry the music throughout my place. As a result, my neighbors get to 'enjoy' the choice of my music in their places as well. For the sake of world peace, or at least peace in my building, my neighbors and I would sincerely appreciate it if I were to be able to use the system that you are offering. Once there is peace in my building, I hope to be able to spread it throughout the neighborhood, then the city, then the state, then the continent, then the world. So in effect, you would be promoting world peace by allowing me the use of the offered system. Thanks for your consideration. Oh and - Rock on!

Well, my apartment isn't so big that I could give each one of the speakers its own room, but they would still be well utilized. I have tiny ipod speakers that I play everything through and would love to have not only have better sound quality but no wires!

This would be perfect on our new fireplace :)
Music.. fire... a fuzzy pillow...ahh

perfect for our main living level - kitchen, dining & living spaces - perhaps even the powder room

I need this something awful

This Would Be Great As Most Of My Speakers And Electronics Were Ruined In A Storm.

My husband is a retired jazz musician. We could have music anywhere in the house with this.

One for each of the 2 kids room.
One for the bedroom.
And the other for the Kitchen.

we only got 4 minutes to save the world

Shakespeare said "If music be the food of love, play on." With food prices going up, this gizmo would be a good way to feed my family (and some neighbors) some love.

This system would work great for my outdoor summer BBQs.

I lkie imaginative product design. Keep up the good work!

I would put it upstairs and let my 2 teens enjoy it...for whatever they want to listen to. THANKS

I would keep this in my main room and use the satellite speakers for the bedrooms, so anyone could listen to it at anytime. (and believe me, it would get used!)

Would use this around the clock everywhere in our home

This would come most handy during the summer time by my pool. thanx for the contest.

This splendid musical technology would bring our mid-20th Century household far into the 21st century

We'd use it in the kitchen while cooking and in the bedroom while relaxing.

This sweepstakes has been featured on Sweepstakes Advantage, http://www.sweepsadvantage.com. The Web's Largest Directory of Free Online Sweepstakes. Good Luck to Everyone!

In my lab we work better with music. We're trying to design solar panels that can be made cheaply and with limited amounts of unpleasant chemicals in the manufacturing process. We're doing this by making the system in bacteria.

Bacteria want to boogie too.

This would make it easy to listen to music in any room

I would have music in every room.

I'd use it in my kithen slash family room slash computer room! Yes, I know I could have just used a" / " but saying slash was more fun!

What is life without music? This would bring me more joy to my everyday life :).

I would stroke them and lovingly admire tham as I would a pet

I don't know about saving THE world, but it would help me save a part of OUR world by having music inside and outside and inspiring my husband and I to get all of our projects done so there would be a little more peace and relaxation. Thank you so much for the chance!

I would replace my 30 year old stereo

I've just moved into a new place, and I have NO MUSIC except the clock radio!! It is very very VERY sad. And YOU CAN HELP replace my sorrow with the joy of music! You at unplggd can help rid the world of this madness!

by the pool all summer long

I would set the system up in my house like a boobie trap, only to swoon my fiance. Every which way she turned, every room she entered, she would hear the beautiful music of Barry White streaming through a hidden source, and have no choice but to fall into my arms

The base would go in the open living room and one in the kitchen, one out on the deck and one in the guest room....all set!

i would use it in my living room, dining area, kitchen and bathroom.

Oh!! I want this! When I moved to NY, I sold my stereo, so this would be a great way to hear my ipod in all the rooms of my new apartment!

i would love to have it for my livingroom

I would love to win this for my older brother to use in his new ranch in TX to listen to his music for his birthday coming up. He needs a wireless audio system. I'd be a grateful and I know that this would make his day and make him smile. Thanks. ;-)

I have been having so many surgeries that this would be sucha welcome! After all, life is music, and music is life! Music can heal a soul as well as a body, and make it all so much easier. The system I have now is shot, and with all the surgeries, it is hard to afford a new one. Wow, I cannot believe I am opening up so much on here. What a chance of a lifetime. Good luck to everyone who enters for this.

I'll use them in the kitchen and garage, since it is tough to run speaker cables there.

I would love to win these to turn our apartment into a musical haven. We are currently tied to the lone computer in the living room, which doesn't carry to the kitchen or bedroom well. This will allow us to rock out wherever we are!

Music in the kitchen would be great...

Holy cow... must have! The cat keeps pulling out all of the wires from the stereo system now. He chases toys & the occasional gecko back there and then gets tangled in all of the wires. RAWR!

I would use this daily!

i can't hear my computer speakers from the kitchen b/c the dishwasher is way too loud. Plus my speakers are the one that came with my Dell that I no longer have. Time for an upgrade, baby! Wireless style!

Music music everywhere... and we can get rid of the tangle of wires all over the place.

Since I just bought a house in Historic New Orleans, I can use this during the renovation and play music throughout the few houses around me that are also renovating.

Renew New Orleans.

We have friends over for dinner and a night of pool and/or cards 2-3 times a week. Having the wireless speakers would be great instead of lugging the stereo from room to room and having to untangle wires every time we change rooms, and turning the volume up only makes it difficult to talk.

This would be nice to hear music throughout my house.

This is perfect: one in the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, on the deck, and the base in the living room.

I would blast some Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger- these speakers kill fascists!

i'd give these to my parents. my dad is a huge music lover and pretty geeky for his old age. he knows all about mp3s and how to rip cd's and records. currently hes working with a macgyvered system of speakers strung together throughout the house. having these would greatly improve his relationship with my mother who would do anything to get rid of some of his wires.

she also loves to dance more than anyone i've ever met and is probably the best dancer i've ever met too. it'd be great to come home and see my parents dancing through the house :)

one small thing that could make them both so so happy :D

to have music Everywhere!

Music will save the world.

Bring me out of the 20th C and into the 21, pretty please!!

according to madonna and justin timberlake "we only got 4 minutes to save the world.." so i would take those 4 minutes and use my EOS Wireless audio system to blast some sweet music. :)

I would love to set this up with my up and coming home theatre

save the world... by, um... well i got nothin, however it would be an excuse to pass on my bulky speakers to a good home. and isn't recycling a way to save the world?

i'd make some really cute shaded boxes to keep the speakers hidden from view without ruining the sound... then i'd load up my ipod with all sorts of subliminal messages to get my honey just as addicted to AT and re-nest as me!

How could music fail to save the world?

My dad was sweet enough to give me his when I moved into my new apartment...Id love to pay him back by giving him an ipod speaker set in return

Music in every room might motivate me to paint the rest of the apartment!

We're currently house hunting, but it would be awesome for when I'm painting the new place! I'll send pics! ;)

the world's greatest 4th of July party.

by saving the world from a crappy soundtrack

Wow what a great giveaway. My husband would love it because he wouldn't have to have the bedroom speakers up so loud to hear it in the rest of the house. He would just flipp over winning this. Thanks.

I would absolutely use this to replace the jumbo system and speakers that my husband bought off Craigslist. It takes up most of our shelving space and is quite hideous, and this would take care of that issue quite nicely!

I soooo need a system for my ipod.

I'd use it all over the house (it's small)

I'd love to have this! My husband is really big into music. My daughters both dance & would love to have this for practicing!

This can replace the four mini-stereos that take up so much room in my place!

Right now I am minus any speakers, this prize would solve that. I love music where ever I am in the house.

I hate wires! Hope I win!

I will save the world by rocking out with my wireless on!

I might not save THE world, but I would definitely improve MY world....music is a daily requirement, and I would be able to add it to more rooms.......

I would use it to keep up with all the podcasts on my ipod that I keep downloading but can't get around to listening.

Oooh.. Music in the kitchen AND outside.

I have a small battery operated speaker for my ipod that I carry around the house to the rooms I'm in. I can't turn it up very loud or it sounds awful. I would love to win this and have the base in the living room and speakers in every room.

Since we have a large house and have 7 children, this would be great to play all over the house!

I'd use it to Rock da House!

I've lost all my furniture. My wife left me. My dog died. And I just spent my last nickel on bourbon.

This system would give me the ability to keep enjoying the only thing I have left - my extensive country music collection.

OOh, I like this. I could fill my whole apt with beautiful music.

Nice product, please count me in

I would save the world by tranquilizing myself with lovely music.

I want to have a continuous soundtrack playing in the background, and this would eliminate the need to have a different set up in every room. This stuff is brilliant!

I would love to win this for Father's Day for my husband.
Thanks for the great giveaway!

All I need is a nice speaker system to save the world from my roommate's TERRIBLE music! A cape wouldn't hurt either... :)

since i only have a small boom box, this would be heaven. I would use them all over my 1st floor

we'd use it for our home theatre system in the living room so that the kids can't play with cords

This means that I get to hear my music everywhere. And my daughter can just keep her ipod headphones to herself. LOL

Since all I have at the moment are the speakers on my computer monitor, these would be AMAZING.

I love having BBQ's in my tiny back yard. Sadly, with no outside outlets the party is lacking music! I would take this baby outback and crank it up! Not so loud as to annoy the neighbors though. :)

i would keep it in my art studio &bring the other speakers out to my roof deck when I'm out there chatting with friends or reasing magazines.

I would utilize it outdoors on the patio, in the bathroom for showers, and in each corner of the living room. My deaf boyfriend would probably just point them at all his head.

Music in every room...joy!

Wireless speakers make the apartment so neat while filling it with inspiring music. Inspired neuroscientist couple discover the cure to all world diseases, and then go on to develop a music-based antidote for war. World peace is assured. (or atleast, we will be very very happy!)

in the living room at christmas when they play all the 'oldies' carols

I'd love music in every room...and on my outside patio!

Ahh, lovely. I'd put music in the kitchen and bathroom and livingroom, but I think, most of all, I'd love one on my patio so I can listen to sweet tunes while sipping on my coffee in the morning.

Hmmm.... I would probably use the EOS system outdoors which is where my kids live in the summer. That might eliminate the fight over how loud the stereo has to be in order to hear it from outside. Cool product!

So cool. No wires! I'd use it in my family room and deck.

I could finally get rid of the sterio I have had since 7th grade. No joke. It's sad, really.

Oh, the possibilities of music all around the house. This will save not only the world but my sanity.

I will save the world by no longer shouting out inappropriate curse words when I can't hear the music anywhere but my kitchen. Excitement!

We just got a hot tub and I'd love to hook these speakers up so we can enjoy some music while soaking. Thanks.

We could finally listen to music outside, instead of the neighbor's lawn mower.

Hi,
OK, here's how these speakers will save MY world :)
1) Because I'm 28. and live with my parents
2) Because I've just given my notice to leave my job of 5 years at a big IP Law firm (Patents and Trademarks, thanks) in order to pursue my dream of becoming a speech therapist.
3) B/c I love kids
4) B/c they love me back
5) B/c I'll be attending Grad School for three years, working whenever I can, making whatever I can in order to get to my dream
6) B/c in order to do this I have to live at home, and therefore put up with my parents' taste in music and TV, and If I have these speakers, I can fully utilize my IPOD to entertain me while cleaning, (in various rooms) soothe me while irritated (not that it ever happens at my parent's house ;) ) and give me a really great reason to distract myself while studying.
7) B/c winning would be really awesome!

8) B/c I love the editors of this site! (awww!)

Thanks UnPlggd!

I will use this system to expand my booty shaken' and gettin' down from one room in my home to ALL rooms in my home!!!

I will use the Eos wireless system to place the speakers around my apartment for a fuller sound.

Save the world by soothing one soul - mine, with music in every room of my place.

I would use it to purchase the cool glass barrel shade lamp that I am currently lusting over. I know, that means I'd have to sell it. But a guy's gotta do what a guy's gotta do.

We have exactly five rooms in our house and we could make the whole house rock with these speakers!

I'd love to have this for my new apartment!

My boyfriend would miss me.

I will use the Eos wireless system to place the speakers around my home.

Save my ears! Ear buds are blowing my drums out. I'm sure I could tape these to my face for jogging. Thanks, AT!

i'm not sure about saving the world but it'll definitely save me money if i won this give away.

I could save everyone from the anxiety that they might win it. Which is a pretty lame reason but, conversely the EOS system is supremely sweeeeeeet. With 5 speakers total, I could save the whole house from the horror of listening to anything but my music. (until the kids sneak up and suplant my ipod with thier own.) At the very least thanks for reviewing this product!

I would consider using it for surround sound for my entertainment system as the wires are such a hastle with my current system.

I'm a poor graduate student using an Playstation 2 as my modem/DVD player/CD player/gaming console. I use scotch tape to keep the lid on it closed. It would be nice to be able to update a bit and have some music in the kitchen and dining space. =)

I have a beautiful stereo system and NO SPEAKERS! Imagine the frustration of an ipod and no sound. So sad...

I would put a few speakers in my kitchen, where there is sadly no place for a real sound system once I start cooking!

i would use it to save my friends from the ills of country.

I have a large 3-level home and this would be perfect for it. I hate having to leave a room or go down/upstiars and miss out on my music...

one in each room!

We only have a radio in the kitchen currently and it would be so nice to be able to get music/talk radio other places in the house-especially when I'm at my sewing table!!

I would be in heaven if I won this! Wires are EVIL! I would put a speaker in the living room, one in the kitchen and one speaker on the patio outside. It would be nice to have some music outside! Did I mention the best part would be no wires!! thank you for the giveaway.

This would be just the cure I need to get my housework done... music piped to every room!

It will be in one spot with satellites throughout the house so that no matter where I am I can hear it. Music makes me so much more efficient and I tend to stick to jobs that are drudgery if I'm listening to it. It makes time pass quickly and I think it will really help me get to some cleaning and organizational projects I have coming up.

Base in the living room, with speakers in the kitchen & master bedroom. My SO is in a wheelchair and doesn't get around easily, so this would make his life more enjoyable.

music for living room, kitchen, patio, bedrooom!

My granson loves the Gaithers & it will be wonderful to have him hear them on such a great system

Plan to save the world:
1. Download following podcasts:
http://podcasting.arizona.edu/campus?q=node/17
http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=33226

2. Lure world and business leaders over for Tucson CSA chipotle goat cheese and blood orange Italian soda.

3. Play all podcasts in entirety and loop. No one leaves until cloth bags replace plastic bags everywhere, 20% of the planet is established as wilderness zones, tax subsidies are given for miles bicycled in a year and square footage of lawn converted to kitchen gardens.

4. Ply with more beverages and lock the bathroom door. No one leaves until we work this out, people!

I'd sneak the external speakers into the White House and give the president some advice sage. I wonder if James Earl Jones would lend his voice acting juju for the cause?

Giving me these wireless speakers is the ONLY way to save the world, which is careening towards imminent destruction due to a lack of music in my bedroom, $25 portable CD player in the kitchen, pile of CDs on the kitchen counter, and mp3s only playable in the office from my PC!!!

i would use this system outside on my large patio and also inside my house so music will be playing inside and out.

Imagine, a world without wars, a world without wires.
eg

I'm about to move to a studio, so the two satellite speakers will be perfect for the bathroom and the kitchen.

I would love to beable to move from one room of my home to another and have the sound be there also.

It would be nice to have wireless speakers. No more waiting for my son to come wire them for me.

I would save the world because I would be a happy mommy...and happy mommies raise future geniuses capable of saving the world. :)

i would be able to introduce my son to all kinds of great music!

We would use them in the livingroom, it would be great not to have wires where the kids could trip over them.

OMG, winning this would be AWESOME. I could take my laptop anywhere in my apartment and listen to my music on my stereo. I could listen to my TV in my bedroom and my livingroom at the same time....it would save me TONS of aggravation. Please let me win!

I would play it outside really loud and everyone would find peace on earth and would LOVE thy neighbor.

This could save my marriage (which means the world to me, ehhe-he), the one doing the dishes could listen to music while choring away.

i love it!

Good Evening! What a fabulous system. My husband and two teenage sons would have so much fun using it! I am so sick of wires in my home. Sometimes, I have to move them to sweep our carpets. We have a family downstairs with a
rudimentary home theater section. Having 5 speakers with no wire would make my dream come true. Please enter our family in your magnificent contest drawing. Thank you very much.....Cindi
cm_hoppes[at]hotmail[dot]com

I have been going absolutely crazy trying to find an happy audio solution and this would be it! Otherwise I may be going back to vinyl! Help me!?!

I would scatter them around my very small house, because I love music, and loud tv

Good lord. Save the world? If it could be done by obsessively reading AT I would have accomplished it already! No no- just make my corner of the world more peaceful. Think Globally act locally :-)

I live in a studio apartment so I'll mount them in all four corners and enjoy the immensity of it all!

Well I'd make my crappy new apartment look and sound more like a home, duh!

This would certainly make, at least my life easier, I have to walk around this house connected to an oxygen hose. The wireless is best for me less mess. Leave their name tags on I'll give them a nice HOME! Since I can't have animal pets..

My boyfriend loves to sing while he cooks us dinner, these would be perfect for us!

Make my little, 180 square foot apartment the happiest place on Earth!!!

This would be great to spread over my entire {tiny} house- a nice sound system for everyone :)

I would be considerably more motivated to clean house with fabulous music spurring me on from every room of my apartment.

Music in the living room. Or maybe the kitchen. I don't yet have an ipod player like this, so this would be great.

Outside, the living room and romantic music in the bedroom!

Wow, this looks amazing! I would probably give this to my daughter because she loves music even more then I do.

This would really be a gift for my neighbors who wouldn't have to listen to my tiny ready blasting in order for me to hear npr in the kitchen! Please!

just want to thank you for giving me the chance to win the best wireless system to be used through out my house thank you

My husband would love this, and love me even more for winning it for him!

this would be great. musid as I walk from room to room. bedroom, kitchen, den, study...

Being able to have something else to play music on other than my computer speakers would be awesome!

I'd love to put it in my family room, garage, and bedroom. I could listen anywhere I am.

I would use the speaker system to enjoy my music and I have a year old Shihtzu. Yoshi loves running around the house whenever I play any music. It's really cool and he becomes speak racer with all his hair flying all over the place and he is leaping over pillows and falling off the barcelona chairs. Really cute...

I would love to win the prize so, i can listen to music all around my apartment. Thank you

how lovely

I would use them with my Playstation 3!

this would be sooo great for parties so i don't have to blast the stereo in order to hear it all over the house!

I would set up in the bedroom, with the extra speakers in the living room and kitchen.

i would finally have decent speakers to play music! instead of listening to music either with the laptop or dvd player tv!

this would be so great so my whole family can listen to music and be in different rooms

Music throughout the house!

wireless speakers - so nice - and no clutter. the best!

i want to win

the EOS wireless system would work perfectly in the screened in room addition recently completed

wow these cango everywhere bathroom extra bedroom in the basement on the patio int he garage

'Sounds' like a great package to me.

we would use it in our backyard during get togethers and parties. with multiple speakers around the seating area we wouldn't have to have the music up so loud for everyone to hear it. this would be awesome!

I hook it up in my kitchen.

Well, it would start by saving MY world, my little co-op for one which I'm slowly fixing within budget restrictions. Considering I don't yet have an iPod player for public listening, that would help keep me (and visitors) happily listening. Then a happier me (and visitors) would go out to the larger world in better moods and do more random deeds of kindness, spreading joy as far as we can.

Don't know about saving the world, but it might save our one year old from chewing on some wires..

As we make this Journey through life, it is important to Rush to say Yes when confronted with such Depeche Mode as this wireless technology. When you suddenly get that A-Ha moment, whether you are strolling through Alphaville or backpacking through the Big Country of Asia taking pictures with your Aztec Camera, you'd better be willing to jump into your REO Speedwagon and snap them up.

What's that? I shouldn't be so quick to raise The Alarm? This isn't The Cure for our society's ills? Your Simple Minds can't comprehend my Madness, I shout. In fact, I'd bet Everything But The Girl on it. Go, Go West, get out of my sight! And while I contemplate your Erasure, while I Squeeze you out of my brain, your Bad Manners will forever remind me of the New Order we must create to survive.

Just graduated and I'm broke, but this will be a nice addition to my new apartment. There will be one for the kitchen, one for the living room, one for the bathroom and one for the bedroom.

'twould save the world in my basement by providing music to play billiards to.

I would use this for the betterment of all mankind. With this device, I will have five channels to play my monologue podcasts throughout the house 24/7.

Seriously, I would strategically place each speaker throughout my home for those times when I want to spare the neighbors and not blast my hi-fi system.

In my exercise room, which has very little room for a standard wired installation. These would be perfect!

I'll be saving the world by taking the wireless ipod speaker system to school so that my art students can listen to quality music while they work. I'll have a speaker for each corner of the room for "surround sound."

in my living room to create my own home theater experience!

That's easy just set my speakers outside and play load rock music 24/7 to keep the neibors at bay

Remember the scene in Apocalypse Now, when the rangers play Flight of the Valkyries over the Vietcong? I would do something similar to that except replace "Flight of Valkyries" with "Flight of the Conchords" and "Vietcong" with "my friends at a dinner party." Same effect, I'm sure.

I would put the base in the living room and the speakers in different parts of the house so I could listen to good music no matter where I was in the house.

With good music to soothe raw urban nerves after a tough day on Muni my world would be saved.

The calm ripple of my soothedness would spread throughout the pond and save the world.

I would use my Eos to listen to the podcasts of "This American Life" and "Car Talk" that I usually miss, therefore providing an audience and support for NPR, the most awesome public radio there is.

Save the world from VISTA! buy more ipods and products that hook into them, or win them :D

I would looove to put this in my new studio/office! Music to inspire all day!!

since i rent, i'd use these to "wire" our whole house for the party i'll be throwing when goodwill hauls away the giant monstrously ugly tower speakers my husband has had since the early 90s.

In my den!

i do not have an open floor plan. my house is full of walls and doors, and I like to flit about from room to room. that means the only listening I really do at home is NPR, because I can sync the radios. I have yet to have own a fabulous devise to allow me to play my IPOD all over the house at one time. pick me!

My hubby would love this. He's always looking for new tech gadgets. RIght now, if I want to listen to music, I have to crank the speakers on his computer. And then it's blasting when I come back into the bedroom.

I'd save the world by radiating good musical vibes from my apartment. Good vibes spread like a virus, no?

We could have music throught out the house without blaring out the neighborhood just to here the stereo through out the house.

Flopsy and Mopsy! How could they be sweeter?
And tiny little Cottontail - and Peter!

(But Chastity? Where'd *that* come from, Peter the post-writer?)

I would save my cleaning world with music

If I had this I wouldn't have to lug my current, rather large and cumbersome iPod dock from room to room to room to have music with me all the time!

This looks much nicer than the cheap speaker sets for iPod I've been seeing, and would love to win this as an accompaniment to my Nano.

The possibities are endless, but would love to plant some mint

I would use it to listen to music in the living room instead of my bedroom

I would use it in my office

I will use my EOS to save the world by listening to soothing music, by doing so I hope to not impose stress on others who, hopefully, will not do so in a chain reaction, thus lowering national hypertension rates by a good 12% or so, and thereby reducing moral panic and handwaving freakoutery.

I would save the world by making my own life calmer and more peaceful, freeing my mind for more world-saving thoughts.

I would turn off the tv more and listen to music in my studio apartment abode.

This would upgrade and simplify our entertaining since we could pipe the music throughout the house and backyard.

this would go in our loft that we are slowly turning into a home theater!

I would use this in my home office!

i'll use this outside when i visit my parents (and their pool) this summer without worrying about a wet ipod.

use it to save the green

I'd use it all over the house, especially when i'm doing chores!

I'd put the base station in my kitchen and satellites in my bedroom and living room.

I'd have the base in our family room and the satellites in each of our bedrooms so everyone in our home could enjoy it.

I could finally have more than one speaker!!
And music in the shower....ahhh

I'd put it in the kitchen where I spend a good amount of time.

Dancin with the kiddos!

Sweet system. I need a reason for my wife to give me back my ipod.

i basically have five rooms - the entry, the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, and the bathroom. now just imagine - really, try this - how cool it would be to listen to lovely loungy downbeat in each room. including the bathroom. oh, how lovely. the thievery corp, in the bathroom.

It would be great to have this. When I was a kid, my dad would play music for us kids to get to sleep at night. It was his way of having us quiet down to get to sleep and it worked. I would use it the same way and for entertaining.

I would use it to provide surround - sound around my home work station.

I'd put one in the kitchen, one in each bathroom and one in the master bedroom.
I'd LOVE to win this and review it.
Great prize!

I'd put a satellite in every room!

entire House and Deck ! Sweeeeeeeeeeeet :)

that looks great! i would use it as surround sound, putting it all over my room!

listen to music while i'm studying instead of on my broken speakers!

I would use this as an alarm to wake me up in the morning so I can go to class and not fail. And after I pass my senior year and graduate, thanks to these, I'm going to move to NYC, get an amazing job with $30k a year, and live in a refrigerator box.

This will be my sole possession, but at least I'll get to work on time.

I can sell my overpowered stereo and give the proceeds to Obama

I've been shopping for something like this. If the cat continues to loudly tap the bedroom speaker cords against the wall at 4:00 every morning in a deliberate attempt to wake me because she's bored and wants to play, she might find herself back at the Humane Society. Winning this would spare her that fate.

Save the kitty, save the world!

It would supplement or complete my current system. A vast upgrade! Thanks for the opportunity.

Wires winding all over my house and collecting dust are the bane of my existence! I can think of a lot of areas in our home where we could make use of a system like this. The previous owners of our home ran wires through all of the walls in the downstairs to put speakers IN the walls, hang from the ceilings, etc...none of which work, so I have wires dangling down in about six different places and holes in my walls. While I can appreciate the desire to have sound in each room downstairs, a sound system such as this one, would make it so much easier and more streamlined. This looks like a great product.

Wireless would be fabulous! I have 2 bunnies and I am constantly worried about exposed wires b/c of their natural chewing instincts. Going wireless would keep me from the vet and allow me more money to stimulate the economy on a nice pair of shoes. LOL.

Thanks for hosting such a fabulous giveaway! I hope I win! :)

Wonderful! The base would be in the living room and I would put one on my porch so I could sit and knit, one in my bathroom for relaxing in the tub, one in the kitchen for cooking, and one in the bedroom.

I would surrender this over to my kids because they know how to work stuff like this without reading directions.

all over

I would fill my entire house with music.

My boys love music. This would be a great and easy way to fill different parts with music to entertain all.

I would invent a game called "hide and speak" where the speakers are hidden throughout the house, playing at a very low volume. All players have to find them. OK that would be really dorky. But it might change the world. It might.

well living in an apartment, im not allowed to put holes in the walls so this would be perfect no wires to trip on or look at! would be grand!

so i would be saving the world from unsightly wires and tripping on cords and breaking your hip. how many falls were caused by tripping on cords and wires? i want to reduce that! hehehehe

Music to cook by!

I'd hang them up and invite all of my friends to come over and see the satellites I have in my living room.

I'd put the base in the living room and speakers in the kitchen, bedroom, hallway, and bathroom (who doesn't love to rock out in the shower?). It would be great to have music spread evenly throughout the apartment!

My laptop died eight months ago--and after eight months without updating my iPod, I FINALLY bought a new laptop yesterday. As I finally, finally, FINALLY get to add 40-some CDs to my iPod (including my Beatles collection!!!), this would be the perfect way to reintroduce music and podcasts into my little bitty apartment.

Base Station in Living Room = centrally located for easy access

Satellite speakers in kitchen, bedroom, office = great tunes all day

Last speaker on deck = great for the BBQ's

Not having to walk around the house with my Ipod = PRICELESS!

wow-- this thing is enough to make me get rid of my 1st generation iPod shuffle and get a good one!

2 teenage boys with a rockin mother and father...thankfully we all like similar music. With this system we can all enjoy...it would save our little world at least

It would save the world by making everyone happy when they come over because they could hear the music without it blasting from just one spot.

This is by far the coolest prize I have ever seen! Do you know how hard it is to wire a home that has a rat and a bird? Both of which love to chew on wires? Even at the risk of their own demise?

You would be saving two lives if you pick us! And making the other two lives in the house very happy! :)

I would but a speaker in every "room" of my 1 bedrm apartment. Bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, living, dining, an be dancing the whole time it is on

NPR in every room. I still remember my high school boyfriend's parents discussing calmly a show they heard on NPR and I was amazed at the civility parents could show to each other. Now my husband and I discuss shows we hear on NPR together calmly, creating a stable environment of intellectualism for our 3 year old. Children are our future, and providing a calm and stable world for them is the only way to have a world worth saving.

Enjoy the music ,outside in the woods by the lake.

I am taking this outside on my patio.

I'd make sure there was music in every room and possibly outside!

with a baby in the house it would be great to go wireless! we're crossing our fingers!

Oh, this is amazing. I don't presently have a stereo system or even a radio, so I only listen to my iPod in the car. THIS WOULD CHANGE EVERYTHING!! ;-)

I'd use this to listen to music in my car. My car speakers/stereo are atrocious.

Definitely use it in the living room of the new house I'm building.

This is so perfect for my apartment!! Oh, I hope I win!

i would save the world by giving this to my husband for fathers day, this in turn would put him in a great mood, which would make him want to work harder, this would help him do his job of saving the world from imminent danger on a daily basis...all made possible by me =) speaker on speaker on speaker....on SPEAKER ON SPEAKER TECHNOLOGY!

I would use it in my daughters room.

I would spread it out through my whole house.

This would be perfect for the living room, garage, kitchen and deck!

I would play christian and country music!

I would love to use it on my outdoor porches to unify the sound around the house. We live in the country so it would be great to blast out some of my favorite tunes from multiple sites!

I would use it ion my whole house but outside next to the pool would be great for outdoor parties and get togethers

I would love to use this for my new Ipod.
Thanks so much for the giveaway!

oh yeah, i would use this in my own apt, would be great, thanks for the contest

it would help me to save the world by soothing the savage beast in me and thereby keeping me from destroying many things.

I could song style to Michael Buble with aplomb!

I would SAVE the world with the Eos 100T1RB Wireless Audio System by playing loud high quality classical music in the morning, playing loud country and western music in the afternoon, and playing loud Rock & Roll at night so all of the grass, trees, bushes, insects, creeping crawling things, reptiles, animals & critters, our puppy dogs and all of the human race that hears it will thrive, grow, and live a long & healthy prosperous LIFE!!!!! ATTN: Because it was VIDEO that KILLED the radio star, If every one remembers correctly!!!!! LIVE LONG and PROSPER-NAN-NOO-NAN-NOO

My front room is medium sized and I would put the speakers around every corner of the room so that I get that surround sound feeling while jamming out to Depeche Mode!! I'd even put one of the concerts from Depeche Mode and pretend i was there back in the day. Ahh glory days.. Sniff** lol!

next week I'm moving into a new apartment with my fellow jazz music school friend. We both decided that the only thing we really need is some kind of sound system. An Eos 100T1RB Wireless Audio System to be exact.

I'm moving to a place with a yard (a yard! I'm so excited) and these seem like perfect speakers to take outside and enjoy nature to my own soundtrack.

I have a split level home and have to move out of hearing distance from my stereo system and to be able to hear the music I have to crank up the music.

This system would give me great music whereever I go.

thats so sweet

It would go in my bedroom...nuff said ;)

In my Living room, to play my new I-pod. I do not have any other way to play my Music except with my CD/clock radio.

This would jam out in my bedroom.

This would complete my lanai.

I would take it into work, so my fellow workers can jam also.

Saving the world...hmmm...how about ensure that everyone in the family gets to listen to music in their own room? Saving my sanity, perhaps?

Ooh, I want!

I would love these! I would put them in my kitchen and living room! Then I could walk from one room to the other and continue to rock out!

VERY LOUDLY!

We need a good surround sound system for our family room. These would be perfect.

This would give me a stereo other than my computer and help cut down on wires, which are slowly taking over my small abode.

This will not only make me happy but it will also make my neighbors happy...no more turning my stereo up so I can hear it in the kitchen. A wireless speaker in the kitchen sounds perfect!

I would love this set for entertaining this summer. I moved into a condo downtown and now have an amazing porch. I'd like to have music w/o sacrificing air conditioning (for the inside of the haus). Thanks!

I'm thinking of putting the extra speaker in my garage- so I can be over-entertained when I work out on the treadmill.

To set up audio upstairs and down

Thanks for the GREAT giveaway!

This would be a godsend! I could use this when I work out without having to crank the stereo up in the other room, no more driving my husband crazy! This would be great, thanks for the contest!

We shall have music wherever we go! I would put them in my kitchen and family room where I spend most of my time! Then I would add one to my bedroom so I would have music to lull me to sleep. I would save one for outside use -- whether it is gardening or entertaining, music makes a good time better! Good Luck to all! Have a fun and safe holiday! Thanks for sponsoring this contest!

Hmmm... since they could move around the house, we'd need less stereo equipment, which means less waste in landfills.

Plus, we'd all lose weight swimming outside to great music and therefore use less gas.

=}

I'd use Flopsy and Mopsy in the living room, Cottontail on my desk, Peter in the kitchen, and Chastity on my balcony.

This would be great to use in our screen room in the summer!

I would put them in every room of the house including the rooms I haven't been in for over a year. Thanks for the contest!

No wires means no little annoyances that the kiddies can trip over - MY world (family) saved. :)

This would go so well in my living room!!!

How wonderful to have no wires!

all over and on the deck would be awesome

This would be great to have. I could have music throughout my house without those nasty wires hanging out. I would look very up to date with technology when having friends over.

this would be perfect to listening to while cleaning my apartment!

This would be great to use outside while we are planting and tending to our very large organtic garden. The plants would love this also,grow larger and feed more people.

save the world? i can only do it by saving myself, staying in touch with my emotions via the wonders of music which i apply in my work with www.victoriesoftheheart.net best of luck to all!

The main unitin the master bedroom under the mirrored criling, snd slave units in the garden informal dining pavilion. stable, boat house, near the wet bar in the gaming room, near the Jucuzzi, and in the library --- i.e. as long as we our dreaming!

I'll put them in the living room, kitchen, laundry room, bedroom and den. As far as saving the world, I guess I'll start off by making my family happy and working my way out from there!

I'll place them around my apartment and throw one wicked party.. and of course your invited!! Saving the world as we all dance.

Great to pull out for parties. I love being able to listen to my system with no wires and great auto quality.

I'll place these all over my apartment. Thanks!

My college stereo, purchased in 1980, will soon be dispatched to it's final resting place...the garbage. Along with this relic will go my circa 1995 "boombox", the only other audio device in my apartment, except for my iPod; if I should be chosen to win the giveaway, this new audio system will provide music to usher me well into my 70's...oh crap, my life is half over...crank up the tunes.

I will use it to provide surround sound when I watch the movies on my television.

make the greatest rock band game room in exsistence :)

I will put them in every room of my small one bedroom apartment.

I would love to listen to music while I cook and wash dishes but I have no space to stash a stereo near my kitchen. Also, my pug really likes to rock out to Bon Jovi in the bedroom (much to our Dachshund's dismay) where we have a similar problem. Wireless would solve all of our listening needs!!

entertaining my family

I would use this daily to listen to music and keep up on news and info.

I would use it as part of our surround sound system in the den. Thank you for the contest

I need this in the worst way....Haven't upgraded since 1995.

Don't know about saving the world....but, heh....I could make every room at home sound like the inside of an elevator with these.

I would use this awesome prize to play awesome music. ;0p

Music lifts my depression. I would have music in every room now!...but then what is my excuse for not cleaning the house?

This would be great especially when we have guests ove to have the same music playing throughout the house

This is A SWEEEETTTTT prize! Love it!

I would use this great prize to spy on my boys...just kidding!!!
Thanks so much for the giveaway!

I will use this to bring music to the patio and garage while I work.

yes please

for awesomeness

I would use this set up for awesome parties or just for getting in the mood to clean the house!!

I would start a revolution to save the world from bad music by piping music into every corner of my house. Word would spread out of my house into all of the land. We could even do the 60s over again.

I would use all of it at my usual tag sales, to spice up the sales just a little. Nice soft music in the background, whilst my potential customers browse through my soon to be treasures in their hands. Thanks for this opportunity.

This would be the perfect solution to drown out the street noise outside my busy apartment windows!

Lovely. I do not have a radio at the moment at all in my condo so this one would be amazing. I love to listen to music while I bop around the house. Great!

I'll use this to listen to music in the house that I just bought

we would love to use this in our living room hooked up to our tv and sound system. we just put away our wired system since we were tired of all the wires.

I'd love to have the Eos Wireless Audio System for my living room. My current system is in need of a major update, but I don't have a lot of space. This system looks perfect! Thank you for the great contest!

I would use the Eos 100T1RB Wireless Audio System to stream music around the house and outside on the deck. I've been wanting to put speakers on the deck, but having to run the wires, plus the expense of waterproof speakers has caused me to keep putting the project off. Now I can just carry a speaker out with me, plug it in, and enjoy!

These would be perfect for our house. We could use them upstairs and in our basement and they won't take up too much space!

Wow -- a speaker out by the garden, speaker downstairs, maybe one in the bathroom. And I could move them around! Wouldn't have to be re-wired or even involve the hubby -- just pick them up and move them. How cool!

My home would be a wonderland of music - any less-than-favorite task would be made bearable with some funky music playing in the background!

These would be great out on our back deck...Party on!

What a truly awesome system.
I would place the base system in our family room and place the additional speakers throughout our home in the den, sunroom, bedroom etc. THis would be Perfect for our entire family.
Thank you so much for offering this AWESOME giveaway.
I would LOVE to win this system !!

Three words...no more felt.

this would more than likely save the lives of not only my 3 children, but also my husband. imagine a galley kitchen, dinner prep, and an ipod. we all know that precisely when we do not want to be disturbed is when it happens.... visualize: mommy w/earbuds in listening to a book while calmly chopping something or frying something or peeling something (you get the picture) little urchin #1, 2, or 3 or large urchin constantly trying to gain mommy's attention or engage mommy in chatter. mommy having to pull out ear buds or turn off ipod getting something (head, ipod) wet, dirty, or both just so she can hear the precious little beasts. wireless speakers that actually sound good and would end the vicious cycle of ipod tag? nirvana

FORCE FIELDS CREATED WOULD NUTRUELIZE ALL EVIL INFLUENCES IN THE AREA

More better music!

This would be fantastic. I work out of my condo and would enjoy listening to music but as I move from room to room throughout the day I really can't. This would be perfect because I could just take the speakers with me and BAM, I have tunage wherever I am

I would use the wireless system outside near the pool this summer in Sunny Arizona. Love this system.

no more wires! my roomba could roam unattended!

Save the world? Save my sanity-- white noise in every room when the baby is trying to sleep!

I would use my Eos to save the world by providing classical music to all. Beethovan, Brahms and my personal favorite, Mozart coming out of every speaker! Music calms the savage beast, you know. The world would be a much better place. In my home, I would place the system in my living room so all of my guests could have this wonderful experience.

I would use this incredible wireless system to save the world by staying at home to listen to my favorite jams instead of always having to drive around in my car to hear music and contribute to the overwhelming CO2 content of the atmosphere!

thank you

It might now save the whole world, but it would save my world, which burnt to ashes 05/20/2008 along with 500 cds, my tv's and my stereo. I'd first have to buy a stereo, which I would!!

Getting into a new place soon. Could use a good sound system.

would love to have this for my family...

for fun... why not

right in my living room for all to see :)

Would add sound to our new sunroom as we watch tv out there and listen to music

We would love this.

This would soo help me get rid of all the damn speaker wired running all over the place! Dangerous, lemme tell ya! Especially when we're doin a lil drinkin' and partyin'!

I don't have a TV (who would pay $50 a month for cable?!) or a sound system! this would be a perfect way to entertain myself when i get home from work

I'd love music in every room...and on my outside patio!

This would be great for music when I'm trying to sleep.

I've got an open floorplan, so it would be awesome to have music in all the entertaining areas!

Music on the patio? Heavenly!

Music, music everywhere - master bath, bedroom, office and kitchen.

We would use them in our basement which is a game room to make the music flow through the room better. Thanks for a wonderful giveaway!

this would be perfect in my house.

Would set up around the house and finally retire our embarrassingly crappy Colby system!

I could work room to room without bothering with separate receivers :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!

I would like the Horizon 10 Pillow.

Wire up each level of the bunk bed with its own set of speakers for the occupant to jam to

Ohhhh what a beautiful system! I would hook it up to my two favorite places in my home. My little bedroom oasis and my screen porch get-away. Thank you for the opportunity to win!

just think - no need to carry the radio with you - you could have sound in all rooms

I'll leave the world-saving to the music. The wireless speakers will simply be the vehicle.

i can use it to save... my world... by listening to it and grooving and finally tackling the pile of dishes in my kitchen sink! and the dust bunnies under the couch. and the bathroom i share with two boys! :D

I'd save the world by eliminating crime. Anytime someone is about to commit a crime - stop. Hammer time. Can't touch this na na na na.

This would be ideal to start replacing the system I lost in last summer's flood... saving a piece of my world...

This would be perfect for my wedding being held in a small courtyard. i don't think a single unit would carry the sound and don't think we need a professional sound system!!

I would use it in my kitchen, don't have any music there but would love to listen to my ipod.

It's totally wireless. That says it all!!!!!

It certainly would save struggling to hide ugly wires somewhere!!
