I was skeptical of the price, after seeing so many other wireless sets often in the $1,000s, but did the research and trusted a close friend's opinion.

Seems Fine--as long as there is no noise

"You can only switch between two channels on these, so if there's noise on one, you only have the other. I also noticed it was picking up a lot of camera, zoom motor noise, but this may have to do with the 3.5mm to XLR output cable I got for it. My XLR inputs are fine for my shotgun mics, but this one cable generates a lot of noise--unless its some sort of frequency interference with the lav receiver I have mou..." Read Full Review »

"Is this the best wireless lav mic set in the world? No. Is it plenty good enough for short-range interviews (within 30 feet of my lens) and other voice recording? Totally.



I own a spendy UHF wireless lav set that is not only about to be made obsolete by the FCC, but is also so delicate that I'm …"  Read Full Review »

"Affordable option for capturing quality audio using a prosumer camcorder.



Too new to comment on durability, it has so far done everything I hoped for.



Easy to use right away (and I'm no genius, believe me!). Don't quite see why some have reported dissatisfaction with them. "
