"Use it for talking only"

Overall: 4 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
i rate it here cuz i use it for speaking only
Sound
The sound quality is acceptable for speaking. The transmitter will take you a good 300 feet with a fresh battery. Not good for singing or instruments but there is a noticable lack of feedback at all times when speaking, even when turned up loud.
Features
Compact, light, easy to operate. Plugs right into any system.
Ease of Use

Quality
the antennae is sometimes flimsy, dont drop the mic
Value
