I got all excited and then I noticed that there is a wire between the speakers.
FlyingDiscI presume you do need to power them up, this is probably what the wire is for.

FlyingDisc Truth is, there aren't many wireless speakers that work without some sort of wired interconnect. I know because I spent a long time looking for a pair that didn't! What I ended up with was a pair of Edifier S3000 Pros. And while they're bigger and more expensive than these, anyone looking for a truly wireless speaker system should at least give them a look. One thing to keep in mind is the difference between powered monitors vs passive speakers--yes you can connect to either wirelessly with Bluetooth, but In the case of passive speakers (as you pointed out) there will almost always be a wire connecting the two. And that's still the case with most powered monitors (the otherwise nice set of Klipsch "The Fives" comes to mind which require a proprietary cable for the interconnect). Which brings me back to my Edifier S3000 Pros--they actually do connect to each other wirelessly (they are automatically "paired" at the factory via some sort of proprietary system). You still have to plug each speaker to a power source (110v in my case), but that's it. That gave me a tremendous amount of placement flexibility. Another wireless speaker option not to be overlooked is a pair of Amazon Echo Studio (smart) speakers. One speaker sounds good, but if you buy two, you can pair them for a true 2.0 stereo system. That setup gives you an amazing 10-speaker array that must be heard to be believed--and if you subscribe to Amazon Music, you say it, and Alexa plays it!

MorpheousTheDreamerThe "wire" is a "speaker wire" so they work in pairs ...
