This sound system is even better than we thought it would be, especially for the price. We used it for announcing at a dog show we hosted and it worked perfectly nice and loud and the shound was very good. There were a few short times where the sound went away kind of like a cell phone but it was only hundreths of a second so you still got what was being said. We will definitely be using this again for future shows. Great product I would definitely recommend this item!

I love the portable PA Wireless system. I take it with me to help echo my voice when giving lectures. I did noticed a small delay when walking away from the PA system. Replaced the battery and it seemed to work out. I will test it tomorrow.

Bought two of these to use in a trolley giving tours of a new facility. They worked great and the battery lasted longer than the advertised 3 hours. For the price, you can't go wrong. Works great and sounds great too. I will buy more if the need arises.

If you shelve it for a while, your battery will die. It's hard to replace it. Once, I replaced it, it blew the whole system. I have only used it about 5 times. This is a terrible value. Do your research, there are much better and cheaper systems out there I only bought this because I was branded. Fender brand...This one is NOT a good value at all.

I purchased this to help officiate track meets. Worked for 3 meets and then failed. Out of the box the microphone jack didn't work. Controls are confusing. Manual was written by a five year old and the translation to English is terrible.

I bought these for my son since he was complaining about ringing in his ears from playing his drums, and these are the best! He can still hear himself play while it muffles out the high pitch of the cymbals. Highly recommend for drummers

I bought these for my son who has hyper-sensitive hearing. Loud noises like the vacuum running, fireworks displays and crowd noise would always have him plugging his ears until these headphones arrived. The over-the-ear design is comfortable, although it was a bit too snug at first and put his head in a vice-like grip. After a minor fit adjustment, they work just as advertised. I've now put him in charge of the vacuuming and the loud noise is a non-issue. No, they don't eliminate all noise; he can still hear with these on, but the sound is largely muffled. We give them two thumbs up.

I got one of these only because my 4-year-old son, who also drums (on a great Gretsch Catalina Club kit), was forced to wear ear protection (the Peltor 90554 Junior Earmuff, Blue) and I wanted him to learn by example. Surprisingly, these ear muffs really let the drum sound through (I had been using Remington shooting muffs which let nothing through). I like them so much that even when I'm practicing alone, I keep them on.

Very comfortable on my big Herman Munster head, and rarely do I feel the need to remove them (unless I'm doing brush work on the drums).

I recommend these without reservation.

--------Update at 1 year-------

Still love these things. The only time I have to move one of the ear muffs off of my ear is when I'm jamming with a bass player and guitar player, and the guitarist EQs to a lower frequency. I can still hear the drums just fine, but the bass and guitar blend in the sound spectrum, so I need to free an ear to try and catch higher frequencies.

I have a friend who is a professional drummer who comes over, and I go to guitar or bass. He insists on wearing these every time he comes over, and has asked to borrow them for gigs. He's Dominican and plays with Latin bands, and finds that these isolation headphones pull his kit's sound away from the other percussion on the stage. In my studio, I sometimes need to wear headphones to absorb his heavy hitting, but then I can't hear my guitar. As such, I've had to buy another pair.

Really a great investment if you need to hear what you're doing on the drums with a room of other instruments fighting for parts of the sound frequency spectrum.

I am a professional drummer.

I was a dummy and did not protect my ears for many years--now I am paying the price.

Do not this this happen to you...protect your ears!

Now when I practice.. I use these isolation headphones. They are great. Somehow-they make your drums sound even better and protect your hearing at the same time.

And they work great.

The only thing is that after 20 minutes or so.... they start to hurt my head because they are on there pretty tight.

Good product.

I bought these for my five year old. He got a drum set for Christmas and needed some good ear protection. These seem to work and are comfortable on his head.

So I started off looking for a simple headphone amp for my bass guitar which range in price from $40 to $80 amd my guitar player friend recomended that I get a small bass effects pedal. And long story short this thing is a headphone amp, a tuner, a amp simulator, a multi effects pedal, and a drum machine all in a $49.00 package.

Sounds great, works great, not the best out there, but for the price, it worked for me. Used it on the worship team a few times, and also practicing at home. I wouldnt use it for my main gigs though too many drunks stomping around.. and this little thing is plastic. But it works goodly enough for most things :)

I use this effects unit every-time I play bass.I can almost all-ways find a group of settings that fit the sound that I want. The only reason why I gave this unit a 4 is because it can be kind of tedious to adjust all of the presets to edit an effect setting. If I am searching for a unique sound that I will like, it can take up to 5 minutes to go through the coding to find a good setting. Also, I recommend the Zoom B2 for added durability as the B1 is more for practice with plastic and rubber hardware.

Want Zoom B1 Bass Multi Effects Pedal Discount?

I was looking for something to reproduce the high quality effects that are contained within Cool Edit but pre-signal for live shows as opposed to post-signal for recording.

These Zoom units come pretty damn close!

I am running this into a Hartke rig so I started out dialing in the Hartke simulation and then adding one effect at a time. It is true that some effects are more experimental than others but there are more than enough that are usuable straight away.

If you already have a compressor, it's best to turn the one inside the Zoom off and set the eq flat to start. Also, don't forget to store any changes you make straight away in one of the user banks.

Otherwise these are pretty straight forward to use and you really can't go wrong by simply exploring the full possiblities of ONE effect at a time with the SAME amp simulation.

Highly recommended!

Very cheap, feels cheap, very plasticky, but sounds good. It is like a sonic pocket knife for the bassist. I have used it live to emulate cabinets and connect the bass directly to the PA without carrying all the gear other than the bass, the pedal and the cables.

I know it will never sound like the real rig, but from an economic and practical point of view is more cost-effective. People won't notice the difference live(if you set it right), and you won't break your back carrying the bass amp nor your pocket.

The off brand boom pole I also got off Amazon fit perfectly into this bag. Although it's a little snug, I also managed to fit a leather case of spare parts, my XLR cable, and my two windcovers. It's nice and doesn't take up a lot of space at all. I don't think I could fit the boompole with microphone still attached on the end of it though.

I've bought this lovely bag to put the Boompole with the Blimp in it,and i was sure Rode has thought about this before me,but unfortunately i found the bag fits the boompole only with another thing else,maybe with a shock mount icluding the Mic,but not with the Blimp,so every day you have to remove the Blimp from the Boompole and put the Blimp in any other place,i hope one day Rode will release a bag that fits both of them together.

On the other side its material is very nice,the zipper is very smooth,so its not just a normal bag.

This is my first Amazon review but when I saw the previous review I was compelled to add my thoughts. I can't speak to the problems the other person had but I love these. Previously I only used top of the line Sennheiser headphones but I wanted an earbud type for the gym. I read many reviews and although people seem to really like the sound quality of the Shure models, the IE-20 XB had two more things that were important to me besides excellent audio quality. One was comfort I was very concerned that earbuds would not be comfortable in my ears. But these really are! I have used them for long plane rides and they fit great. Secondly, the bass response is amazing. I can hear every detail of my music (and I listen to many different types of music).

These were my first experience with M-Audio products and I am buying another pair today for my wife.

So, depending on your budget, get these if you want excellent audio quality, great comfort, and serious bass response in your music.

I am a DJ and I needed something that would go in my ear for events where using regular DJ headphones were cumbersome. Once you get the IE-20 positioned into your ear canal right, the sounds quality is stellar and works great for cueing in a DJ situation.

One caveat though, is these earphones don't have a long slinky cord like you'd find on a pair of professional grade headphones. The IE-20 cable isn't very long, it is kinky, and gets tangled easily. If you step slightly away from the decks, you can bet on yanking at least one of the IE-20s out of your ear.

The IE-20s come with a carry case which is cool, but is almost too small to pack them in. They also come with several size ear buds, to allow you to make the perfect fit.

The sound quality is definetly suitable for even a professional environment.

Comfortable, light-weight, great sound, great with drums. The isolation level is great as well so you can hear just enough acoustic background noise when you're playing.

Want M-Audio IE-20 Professional Reference In-Ear Monitors with Extended Bass Discount?

This pair seems to have all the known advantages of in ears and almost all disadvantages, except the bass. The fit is pretty comfortable. I find the "detachable cables"(and of course replaceable) a very good feature. Half the headphones that I've stopped using is due to damaged cables.

The foam tips that came with the set did not feel very comfortable. I used them for a while then tried takin em off, but they would not slip off easily, had to tear em apart :(. But well, m happy with the silicone tips.

16dB of isolation is quite a bit, make sure you don't wear it in an environment where that could turn out to be a disadvantage. M guessing -16dB would mean almost 3 (2.67 to be precise?) times softer. With music playing, it drowns out most of the ambient noise, when m waiting for the bus, I can't hear a single vehicle drive by, apart from "feeling" the occasional roar of a truck.

The frequency response of this pair is a little bass heavy, a lil too heavy for the music I listen to (not complaining, the product's doing what it was designed to do. Weird note on in ear headphones that they have too much bass :-p). Just wondering if I shdv spent a "lil" more to buy the IE30s which m told are slightly less bass heavy.

These in ear buds sound pretty decent but I only owned these for 9 months and under normal use (I'm a drummer and used these as my in ear monitor) the cords shorted out. All the documentation claims that the cords are detachable and replaceable but good luck finding them, they aren't made available. Same thing happened to our guitarists pair as well, his didn't even last as long as mine. $100 ear buds should probably last longer than 8 9 months.

I got mine a couple days ago from Amazon. Here's the short version:

Pros: GREAT audio quality, easy to use, very light, the headphone jack is a really nice touch.

Cons: The included app's sharing options do not include Dropbox, a *major* flaw in my opinion. Can't quite figure out how to make the app completely quit.

And the long version:

So, basically, the hardware is great. The software, not so much. I still haven't quite figured out how to make it work with GarageBand yet, but I'll keep trying. The included app (or rather, the free one from IK, called iRig Recorder) that you can download from the App Store to go along with it is, however, something of a mess. It records well enough that isn't the problem. The export options, however, are clunky. Export by email requires you to register an account with IK, which is no fun. No Dropbox support is an almost unbelievable omission. In addition, there doesn't appear to be any way to actually completely quit this app short of restarting your iPhone when you press the home button, it displays a big red banner under your menubar that shows that it's still active, and that won't go away. If there's any way to make this go away without restarting your iPhone, I haven't found it. Very annoying.

Anyhow, I still highly recommend this hardware. The sound quality is really first-rate amazingly so for a microphone this size and is incredibly feature-packed for a device this size. The extended neck of the device is very thoughtful for those who use cases, as I do. The styling is great. The smallness and lightness of the mic is amazing.

That said, it needs better software. I'll try getting GarageBand working with it. Or, IK, just release a better version of your own app.

EDIT: I've been trying the mic with a free iOS audio recording/editing app called Hokusai, with some good results. This may be the best app to use with the Mic Cast.

I read couple of reviews where some of you were unable to exit the iRig Recorder that is used with iRig Mic and iRig Cast. I downloaded the iRig Recorder from the App Store and played with the software. To exit the iRig Recorder software when you close the App; bring up iRig Recorder and goto SETUP. Scroll down and deselect BACKGROUND AUDIO; (Tap ON until the Red color turns off). Now you can exit the app and close the iRig Recorder software. This threw me off also but I played with all the buttons and purchased the upgrade for $7.99 from the App Store. I think it is pretty cool to email the recording in M4a format. You can download a free converter on the internet that will convert m4a format to MP3 on your computer. Would have been cool to export to DropBox but it is what it is.

This was purchased as an auxiliary mic for Skyping on an iPad. From the description it was not clear that headphones would also be required to be able to listen. So the item was returned and there was no problem doing so.

I attempted to record a lecture. This mic picked up every sound within a hundred yards and very little of the lecture's message. So having too much money in my pocket I bought the software extras and attempted to clean the recording. So I fooled myself twice.

If you want help making buying decisions email and I will give very poor advice.

Had the Shure e2c for more than five years. The supplied foams and sleeves were extremely uncomfortable to wear, hard to insert and difficult to take out...or pry out. This new, redesigned sleeve solves all the above problems completely. I recommend getting them if you own a Shure e2c. No more ear aches and pains.

I purchased smalls because the smalls fit the best in the variety pack I got with my e2c's. But these fall out after having them in for a minute or so while I am running. Work great if I am stationary though.
