Wireless speakers still requires power. Power might be a bigger
hassle than speaker wire.



Better to get the wired speakers, that is, if you want better sound.

How come pro singers and band members use wireless mics and speakers on
stage?

Different issue. They are taking a high quality low-level signal and
sending it wirelessly to expensive, powerful, wall-powered amplifiers.

With wireless speakers used with a good stereo system you are taking a
high quality signal and sending it wirelessly to a speaker with a sub-
standard amplifier (and typically a speaker that's not much better).

Wireless has its place, like the patio or garage or where the stereo
system is not high quality in the first place, but using it with a good
system is a waste. Wireless headphones have the same problem. Since the
sound quality is totally dependent on the electronics inside the phones
there is no point at all in using them on a high quality system.

That isn't to say that high quality wireless cannot nor does not exist,
but the vast majority of it is mid to low grade as far as the sound
quality is concerned.
