"Cheap plastic sound."

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Sound
The sound/tone quality is poor. The static was unbelievable and I had to send them back to the factory for replacment. The mics came back with NEW mics but the same receiver that I sent in for replacement.
Features
No control over the frequency. The "squelch" simply mutes the sound not the static.
Ease of Use
Not hard to use but not very functional also.
Quality
They feel cheap and lightweight plastic.
Value
Poor quality and cheap. I guess you get what you pay for.
Manufacturer Support
I had to call and chew out someone at the factory to get them to REPLACE the ENTIRE unit. Still waiting over 3 weeks.
