Had to return this – but only after incurring costs for bringing in a sound engineer to advise why first attempts to record (so after only two sessions since unpacking it) were unusable. Build quality shocking. Last straw was power plug broke when pulling it out! Before that we found that moving the receiver around we lost power connection and that the connection point had quite a bit of movement – also consistent with poor build quality. Whether the power input was the source of the main issue, unworkable noise to signal, I don’t know but we isolated the transmitter and/or receiver as source by checking the lapel mic direct in camera. It worked without interference but is itself poor quality – ok close to (but not directly in front of) the mouth but rubbish on a lapel.
Replaced it with LD Systems Eco 16 BPL Lavalier which is absolutely fine for our needs for professional podcasts and presentations. That clearly demonstrates the problem was with the Pyle and nothing to do with local interference. Advantage of the Pyle is it comes with two transmitters so good for interviews. That makes LD twice the price for two but there is no cost saving when the cheaper doesn’t work and incurs costs.

Firstly you cannot expect a premium article at budget price. I needed an entry price unit for our small Synagogue. Having said that, I am more than pleased with the performance of this article. Sound quality, ease of use and connectivity are all very good. My only issue is the over ear mic is a bit “delicate” and loosens easily. Packing instructions does not inform user how to tighten. Initially, I was about to return the item thinking it was defective. I just happened to turn and tightened gently and it stayed in place. Very pleased with this item.

Works perfect! Very easy to set up and clear sound once connected with studio music system. Recommended if you are teaching dance or exercise classes with music. The only problem is the plunging system is not UK socket so I had to purchase a separate adapter to connect the power cable.

I bought this set for use with my small to mid size church's PA system. I found them easy to set up, reliable, and the sound quality to be very good (we have only used the lapel mics so far). The batteries than came with them did not last very long, but so far the alkaline replacements have held up for a few weeks now of a full hour every Sunday.

There are individual gain controls on the receiver, plus an adjustment in the transmitter behind the battery door for initial setup adjustment (I did not need to change it). The transmitter's power switch is 'muted' in its middle position and it is possible to accidentally go too far and turn it all the way off. But, I have not noted any noise turning it back on. Sensitivity is very good, and the mic connector does screw into the transmitter making it risk free for dumping it into your pocket. The wires on the mics are a little on the stiff side and had a pretty good memory of the bends from being folded up in the packaging.

I did not see it in the description, but a 1/4" cable is supplied for connection to an amp. As noted above batteries were also included, but they are cheapo dry cells that are really only good for initial setup and first use. Good if you forgot to buy some and need to get it working.

In terms of range, they worked well even when about 60 or 70 feet away and through 2 walls. I have not tried to walk away until they stop working, but they are more than adequate for our normal 20-30 feet of our use and I have not experienced any interference or drop outs.

Construction of the receiver base is on a par with an inexpensive consumer electronics device, like a low end wifi router. It is just fine but definitely not a professional unit that would take getting banged around. If you will be breaking down your setup every night and throwing it in the back of your car, invest in a padded hard shell carry case.

Overall, a big thumbs up.

Great sounding wireless Mic. System. Price for this system was great too. So far, so good. Give them a try you’ll be happy with PYLE Mic. System.

El equipo funciona adecuadamente en cualquier canal pero en los canales 1 y 2 se corta el audio a una distancia de 3 metros, se deben de utilizar los canales altos para mejor calidad de audio.
Probado en 2 equipos iguales el cual uno se regreso por devolución y este salio con el mismo problema.

Los usamos para una iglesia, funcionan muy bien, el material no es de la mejor calidad, pero para el precio me sorprendieron bastante.

I have bought 4 of the same unit, so total of 4 lavalier mics, and 4 hand held mics. I bought them at different times. The first batch I bought 2 units a few years ago, 2 hand held mics still work and 1 of the lavalier mics work. From the new batch of 2 units all 4 mics kind of work but they cut out frequently, the distance is maybe 20-30 feet from the receiver, so I say they don’t really work. No one wants to hear a voice cutting out every minute or so. I’ve tried them in different parts of the building, but they still cut out. They are really unusable. Also I can’t use the new transmitters with the old receivers or vice versa. So I’m not sure if it is the transmitters, receivers or both that have the issue. The old units still work fine.
