Wii Wireless Sensor Bar

Customer Review: Everything I wanted, plus one thing I didn't
This sensor bar has everything you want in a sensor bar. It is wireless, it has built-in rechargeable batteries, it comes with a USB cable to charge it... But, it has a majorly annoying flaw. I mean, they call it a "feature", but seriously. When you turn it on, you have to set it for 1 or 2 hours. Then at the end of the time you chose, it starts beeping. LOUDLY. Like a fire alarm. you have to hit the setting button again to get it to stop, which extends your playing time. If you don't hit it, it will shut itself off to save the battery. But, any person who is not deaf and is ANYWHERE near this thing when this happens will be compelled to hit the button. There is no way you are gonna let it keep beeping if at all possible. And you can't disable this feature. You can't choose to leave things up to your own good judgement. What if I want to leave it on and run down the battery? And, it is a major pain to have to get up every hour or so and hit the top of it to keep playing your game. I am thinking about tearing the speaker out of it. Other than that though, it has been great. Works fine. It is a bit chunky, but that is probably cause of the Li-Ion batteries. Not a big deal.
Customer Review: PsycloneGamer = nice
I got my wii used off ebay and it came with this crappy 99 cent wireless sensor bar. It did a good job but it seemed to not have a good battery life. I did a lot of cheap sony games on wireless sensor bars and wired. I couldn't find much difference between the 2 except the wire or the power supply. The nikko bar is supposed to be the best with a good battery life, but you still have to replace the batteries which is a problem for a cheapscate such as myself. I bought this one to see see if it was any good since the the psyclonegamers also makes a rechargeable batery supply for the wiimote and it works good. I got it today and thus far it works great. It came charged but I plugged it in just to be on the safe side. One somewhat annoying feature about it is that it has a sleep mode on it that goes off in either 1 or 2 hours depending on what you set it for. The pros: Rechargeable wireless nice battery life good distances (My room is 15ft and some odd inches long on sensitivity set at 3 it works up to 12ft with sensitivity set at 5 it goes the full 15ft I am pretty sure it could go to about 20ft but I didn't feel like putting in the extra work and I am never going to be 20 ft away from my tv anyways.) The cons: A Forced 1 or 2 hours Sleep mode Somewhat confusing directions All in all though I don't use my wii for hours on end so this works out pretty good for me. Plus if I am understanding the directions correctly you can avoid the sleep mode by just resetting the bar every 1 hour or 2 hours when the alarm sounds. The directions state you have 2 minutes in which to do this, so again the sleep mode doesn't seem like that big of deal. It is a best of both worlds bar. You get the infinite power supply of the wired bar(as long as you keep paying your power bill) with the wireless feature(minus the usb recharge cord).
