This was the only Digital Stereo Wireless system I could find. I paid 2 or 3 times the price for my last headphone monitoring system - an analog compander setup, which was just awful! The digital system works as an instrument to amp system or amp/pa to in ear monitors, and the quality is pristine in either direction. It's more reliable than my Line 6 wireless instrument system, and much easier to configure - basically plug and play.Comes with a USB charging cable and a whole assortment of adapter cables, making it useful for just about any audio connection - a very thoughtful touch. PLUS - it comes in a small soft case with a compartment for everything. Only fault is that the batteries are not replaceable, so if you run out of juice or forget to charge them, you need to spend a few hours waiting to charge them. I could see this happening on a gig. An optional battery pack for emergencies would be nice. Overall, it's a great unit. Sound is better than wired, since there's no cable capacitance to degrade the sound, and it's one less cable to trip over on stage, LOL!!!
Sound
The sound is clear as a bell. It works equally well from instrument to amp, or from PA to stereo earphones. No noise floor, like the analog compander systems. Gets the really low bass notes without distortion.Probably a good idea to replace the molded cables with quality ones. Might actually improve the audio.
Features
Both receiver and transmitter are tiny - maybe 1/4 the size of the ones I've used before. Convenient, but the small size makes them easy to lose - make sure you put them back in the case when you're through with them. The least useful feature is that you can't replace the batteries. You're out of luck if you run out of juice on a gig. The best feature is the way it's so thoughtfully supplied with a case, including a section for everything and a selection of hookup cables.
Ease of Use
It was simply plug and play for me - no switching channels and running around. Sounded great out of the box! Only thing was the four hours it took to charge up the batteries - no instant gratification, LOL!!!
Quality
It seems to be designed to be simple. Because it has fewer moving parts, I expect this to last 'til the batteries give out. For the price, though, it's almost disposable!
Value
I'd pay twice the price.
Manufacturer Support
Never needed support.
The Wow Factor
Hard to believe something so tiny could do the job. You can hide both units and look like it's magic!

Setup and use is truly easy. It's nice to see such an affordable product deliver! Range is excellent; I was using it to play music off of my iPad while I was upstairs and the receiver was attached to my PA system in the basement.The only issue is that I have a stereo output on my bass guitar (one channel is piezo and the other magnetic) and the output level is a little low. It sounds fine with traditional single channel guitars though. Also, traditional stereo line level signals are also fine. Just my unconventional bass has this issue. It would be nice to have a "stereo guitar" setting. Maybe the next version will support this.

I have experience with and have owned high quality (and expensive) wireless pick ups. On occasion I have experienced the kinds of difficulties that come with the territory; drop outs, loss of signal, signal sounding "over-driven" etc. Not to mention the endless stream of batteries. This product comes along at 1/2 to 1/3 of the price and is rechargeable. It did not take a whole lot to convince me that I should try it.

My first wireless, so I have nothing to compare it to, but this thing works! No drop-outs, no signal lag, no loss of tone. Small, light and well built; the case is very cool. My only comment would be to advise that you order the battery back-up as the rechargeable batteries only last a few hours, but this is minor, given the price ad overall quality. Very versatile as well; can be used for in ear monitor or for a DAW signal.
