Feature:
For the price, you are getting minimal but adequate wireless. This is NOT for ZZ Top to use, though. You have to look at the price and be realistic about this.

Quality:
The product is your typical plastic $200 machine. You get what you pay for. But I have abused this pretty hard and it shows no signs of wear and tear. I just gave it to my wife for her electric fiddle and it sounds amazing. I am buying another one for myself!

Value:
Like I say, you git whut choo pay fer.

Desirability:
It it a wireless. As long as you don't notice it, it is sexy. No frills, no thrills and no wires.

Sound:
It does have some white noise at times and then occasionally you get some interference. It seems to be when you are in high RF areas, near cell towers, etc. I live rural, so that is not an issue.

Ease of Use:
Any 10 year old with the brain of a pecan can work this.

Overall:
I am not searching for another brand or product. I will stick with a known entity, but I am also not gigging. I use a wireless because my child is disabled and the less wires in the house the better.

Feature:
I did not have to adjust anything. It worked fine out of the box.

Quality:
Seems to be reliable - I will be setting them up in a rack soon.

Value:
I do small shows -

Desirability:
I wanted a UHF system. After looking around - I finally chose this based on the price. Since most of the rest were at least $100 more.

Sound:
I own 2 Samson units. The AG1 unit and the (2nd unit) with CT7 body pack and guitar cable. I find the sound (from my acoustic electric)through the AG1 unit is clear and nice whereas the sound through the body pack sounds enveloped in a hiss. I am adding this since other reviewers mentioned the hiss. No hiss through the AG1 transmitter. The second unit with CT7 body pack sounds good with a headset QE/QV mic (or handheld).

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
OK on features. There's plenty of adjustability, and perhaps a bit too much. There are at least four adjustments to gain staging (not including the instrument) which complicates setup.

Quality:
Construction seems to be pretty good. All the covers, clips, cables, etc. seem to be made with pretty good grade high-impact plastic. Some markings are extremely small, however, and are impossible to read.

Value:
For this kind of money, I would expect FAR better performance.

Desirability:
Nice concept, with the direct plugin design of the transmitter. That's about it.

Sound:
Sound is plagued with hiss anytime a note is sounding. It's not an issue when playing loudly, but when a sustained note is playing and trails off, the signal becomes almost pure hiss.

Ease of Use:
Sure, it's conceptually easy to use, but getting "great" sounds is not possible. The manual is not exactly clear, and could use some rewriting.

Support:
I called Sampson explaining the hiss problem, and they quickly passed it off as a defective unit, and said to return it. But after doing some web research, I concluded this is a problem indigenous to this unit.

Overall:
I am not satisfied at all, and immediately requested a refund. Instead, I am purchasing the XD-PLUS from X2. It's $100 more than what I paid for the Samson, but the testimonials are glowing, and hopefully they bear out. The Samson unit might be OK for a budget setup, but expect budget sound. Definitely not professional quality.

Quality:
Antennaes bent. Front display crooked.

Value:
wouldn't buy it.

Sound:
Very noisy. Play a note on the bass and as long as the note rings, background noise rings with it. Kill the note, the background noise stops. True-diversity switching from antennae A to B makes a popping noise. Walk around the stage, that's all you hear.

Overall:
Will return it.
