I'm using a nice little wireless thing I bought for like $50. Sound quality
is great...except when it isn't.  After working fine for a while, the sound
gets dirty and then has dropouts until you power-cycle the headset.  It has
USB-charged batteries.

Does your unit have any trouble like that?  How far can you really get from
it?  I see two XLRs on the back.  There's another output, which is an even
mix of the two.  What kind of plug is that?  Is it a regular 1/4" or 1/8"?
Is it stereo, or just a mono mix?

Shoppingly yours,
