Con Must use a 3.5 mm jack to connect receiver to your mobile device
Con Can't use external microphones
The transceiver has no input jack for an external microphone including such as lavalier mics. This means that the onboard mic is the only option and that handling noise may be a problem.
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.
