"Works perfectly for what I got it for"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
This was such a compulsive buy for me I don't see myself ever replacing it.

Sound
It might be unfair to say this about the system due to the nature of my setup and what I'm using it for, but in reviewing the setup I always hear sort of this electronic synthesis of sound that I can't eliminate on my mixer, and yet in the final product I don't hear that sound at all, in fact it sounds perfect.

Features
I did ditch the lapel and go for the over the ear lavalier mic, which is perfect. The lapel sounds terrible. Also the system doesn't come with batteries, and with any wireless system make sure you're using shielded cables or your sounds is toast.

Ease of Use
Out of the box to full setup was so easy I don't even recall if there was a manual, its all pretty self explanatory.

Quality
There's nothing that lacks quality (except maybe the lapel, though the materials are good) I've never had it break down on me so I'd call it reliable. Like I said though, make sure you're using shielded cables.

Value
You know for the price you're really getting a lot of quality, it's hard to say this will work in every environment but for what I do which is video webcasting, the system works perfectly. It's awesome for entry level or budget productions

Manufacturer Support
I have used Nady products before and always satisfied, read more never had to deal with their tech support.

The Wow Factor
I don't know how much sex appeal you can put into a box but I definately love that you can easily see from where you are standing the levels its picking up from the mic, its good in debugging sessions.
