Cons
Con Battery life is only 2 hours
This unit uses one AAA battery and users report that the units only last 2 hours in real world use.
Con Generates handling noise
The transceiver unit creates a lot of handling noise if using the internal microphone. To avoid this it is recommended to use a lavalier microphone plugged into the 3.5 mm input jack.
Con Must use a 3.5 mm jack to connect receiver to your mobile device
Con More distance beyond recommended range introduces more noise
Noise becomes an issue the further the transceiver gets from the receiver past the recommended range or with obstructions and radio interference.
Con Quality and durability issues
22% of customers rated it 1 star due to quality/durability issues.
Con Only 4 radio frequencies to choose from
This means if you are in a radio congested area, you may not get a clean signal. Other radio users and their audio sources may cut into your recording/live broadcasting etc. Only 4 channels might mean you can't operate.
