Yes. 1000% yes. I'd stay away from those.


I personally have a Sennheiser EW-G3 system which has been rock solid - I don't have a headset mic but rather a Lavalier, plus a separate transmitter that plugs onto the bottom of a handheld mic.

Pros: Good sound quality, good range, low chance of interference, easy to set up channels, transmitter can also be used for guitar with appropriate cable, excellent build quality and reliability.

Cons: High price

Reliability: The bodypack is nearly all metal and has been subject to mishandling and dropping, and still works perfectly even after many years. The lavalier I've had to repair a few times, but that's the nature of thin wires.

Also have used Shure and Audio Technica wireless systems, both of which I'd recommend. I'd stay away from anything that's not from a reputable brand name (most Amazon stuff), maybe look at something from Samson or something like that.

I work here
