Overall: This product does everything it says it will and more. The dual capabilities work perfectly for our church. I have not found this unit to be any more of a battery "predator" than any other wireless mic system. It DOES have an on/off capability, you simply need to hold the button for about two seconds for it to turn off. This is fully detailed in the instructions that come with the unit.

Overall: This unit was purchased for guest speakers that come into our building. The unit is excellent for this application. It is basically plug and play. The lavalier has good sensitivity. It is important to take a few minutes and set it up properly with the mixer. I do not use this in a music application,; however, it works well for my needs.

"HIGHEST BATTERY CONSUMPTION OF ALL" submitted February 13, 2008

By a customer from pa.inter.net

Musical Background: Broadcast engineer
Back to Product Information
Value: Being a faithful Shure user for 43 years, I'm sad to say that this product has proved to be a total and complete dissappointment. Even though the quality of the included PG58 mics is quite acceptable, ****beware potential users*** these are truly BATTERY-PREDATORS. It's not unusual for these mics to eat up a 9-volt battery in one 3-hour session (start doing the math!). So if you used them daily like I intended to, include in your budget seven 9-volt batteries a week per mic. This added to the fact that there's no on-off button anywhere to be found in the mics...no "battery-save" option. And the consumption doesn't decrease even by pulling the battery (highly unadvisable due to risk of breakage of the clips) from the mics after the session is over Upon consultation with a Shure dealer (Sam Ash), the answer was: "Oh, yeah, that's typical behaviour of these mics. They sure suck up them 9-volt batteries". Thanks for not telling me before I purchased the Shure PG88. Now I'm telling you, potential buyer: BEWARE! I strongly advise whoever may be interested in wireless mics, to look elsewhere (Sennheiser, perhaps?). If you insist on this product (the stick price is nice), well... you won't be able to say that you didn't know.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

2. We guarantee the lowest price

If we don't already have the lowest price, just send us a link to any legitimate competitor's offer, and we'll beat their price as long as we're not losing money on the deal.

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.

3. You'll get your gear fast

Because we have two well-situated warehouses--one on each coast--nearly three- quarters of the US population is located within our two-day shipping zones. Plus, we keep both warehouses well stocked with all the most popular products, so you'll usually get your gear fast without having to pay more for expedited shipping.

In fact, zZounds offers free two-day delivery on many of our best-selling products!

4. We make returns super easy

You have 30 days to try your gear at home, in your practice space or studio. If you're not absolutely in love with the sound you're getting, just let us know. We'll promptly arrange for an exchange or a refund without the hassles or hidden charges you face with some of our competitors. If there's something wrong with the gear you bought from us, we'll email you an electronic return label so you can return it easily and free of charge.

5. Our customer service is consistently rated the best

zZounds customer service is consistently rated at or near the top on every major comparison shopping website--probably because we only hire experienced musicians with outstanding customer service skills to work in our call center, and they don't work on commission. To us, this is our most meaningful measure of success. zZounds has served over a million customers since 1996, and they're the only critics whose reviews really matter to us.
