She wants a new surround sound for the family room. She wants the back speakers to be wireless so she doesnt see cords. I have been looking online and getting tired of trying to figure out if the speaker systems are wireless or not. I dont know what to look for in all the specs. Every site is different and its hard to tell if they are wirless. The price rang is 200-300 Max. I would appreciate some suggestions. It only really need wireless back speakers. 5.1 Surround btw. We only use it for movie,tv,music.

Wireless speakers are essentially useless, especially from anything that might be found in the $200-$300 price range. Instead either go for something with wires, or put the money towards a stereo set. Going for a 2.0 or 2.1 will get you much better sound quality, I mean what's the point if having surround sound if the entire system sounds muddy and distorted?

You might be a good candidate for a Sound Bar. You'll get better quality and more SAF (Spouse Approval Factor) points. This will eliminate the need for wireless surround. Consider the Samsung HW-D450 or Polk Soundbar 4000.

Good luck,
