Sony S-AIRPLAY, $400 

Multi-room audio is the stuff of dreams for some, but it doesn’t have to be as costly or intrusive as one might suspect. Sony recently unveiled a new wireless, multi-room audio system for the iPod, known as S-AIRPLAY. It’s a straightforward system: Wireless audio is transmitted from the system’s main docking station in one room to various S-AIR speakers in your home, so long as they are within the 164-foot wireless range. No messy installation, no in-wall speakers, no sky-high installer’s bill. The system comes with one docking station and two S-AIR wireless speakers, but it can transmit to 10 speakers simultaneously (additional speakers are sold separately for $130). (www.sonystyle.com)
