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?
