This review has been selected by our experts as particularly helpful.
I bought 4 of these mics, each with their own frequency. None of the singers we have are bothered by the shape of the microphone, they think it's sleek and modern. The color coded tabs are wonderous! The AV crew had no problem setting up these microphones, and with such a long battery life, they outlasted some Shures we had added on for a supplement.
Sound
Superb sound quality.
Features
Having 4 distinct frequencies, each with color coding is awesome.
Quality
Great styling. Battery life is one of the best for this level of microphone.
Value
I've shopped long and hard and this was the best value
The Wow Factor
