Pyle Portable PA Speaker & Microphone System - FM Stereo Radio, Built-in Rechargeable Battery, Aux & Microphone Inputs, Includes Beltpack, Hand-held Headset & Lavalier Mics - Black

Needed a speaker and mic for a four hour presentation so I did not have to speak so loudly for that long and everyone could hear me. Set up was very easy and I had it going with the headphone mic in minutes. Connecting it ans setting up for the presentation went just as easily. Since it was my first time using it I asked the audience if they could hear me and if they preferred the the speaker or just wanted to hear me speak without it. They said Yes, please us the mic and speaker. Good. And the head set mic was perfect as I could move my head and not worry about the mic not being directly in front of my mouth. The included battery work for the complete 4 hours and I did not have to replace it, as in other mics I have tried. Great! So, for me it is a perfect kit. --Scott

Do not purchase this if you intend on actually using it as a PA system. The "wireless" handheld mic is not, in fact, wireless. You have to use the included cord. The hands-free mic is wireless but will not pick up sound unless it's directly on your mouth, making the clip on mic useless. Every piece on the system is made of plastic. The manual contains multiple spelling errors and non-sensical sentences. This system is cheap junk. Please go back to making a quality product like Pyle used to produce.

I almost gave it a 4 star, because the advertisement implied the mike was wireless and it is not. However, the sound is clear and the quality is a good deal for the price. We purchased it as an experiment. My mother's voice is becoming weaker while my father's hearing is getting worse. He can hear everyone, but my mom. Mom was becoming frustrated and needed some control, as Dads is the only one with the power to turn up his hearing aid. The amplifier is not quite designed for the way we chose to use it. Mom could not use the wireless lapel mike in the house because the feedback was terrible. (This freaks out the cat). She can use it from another room, and we believe it would work fine on a stage where the speaker is behind the amplifier. She can use the wired mike as long as the amplifier is turned down and the TV is on mute. They now have it set up in the living room with the amplifier set at ¼ volume. During the commercials, they will mute the TV and can have a detailed conversation with better communications then they have had in a long time. So it is helpful. The sound is clear with no distortions. The amplification can be turned up very loud.

System works ok. Reason for 3 stars is mainly for the complicated process to get multiple systems that can work together. Cordless mic (Lavalier) should have different frequency when you buy multiple systems for use in events in different floors of the same building. Ordered 4 and got same frequency 190.1KHz in 2 systems. If you operate them in different rooms (even in different floors) you can hear from the other system and making the systems unusable in both rooms at the same time. Main purpose of purchase is for educational contests (like spelling bee) for kids in university locations (where you may not have audio in all the class rooms). Getting the same frequency shipped to the customer with more than one qty ordered is not useful. No option to select which frequency available for selection is not provided at the time of ordering (similat to size selection for T-shirt!). Since Amazon is the seller contacted Amazon and they gave a reseller number (Google voice) and no one is answering as well. For electronic systems like PWA, please provide proper selection options including frequency of the Lav mic in this case. Contacted Sound Around technical support and they are not available and not sure they can solve shipping issues from Amazon.

Weighs less than 10 lb. Packed it in check-in suitcase using the box styrofoam, with plenty of room left over for my clothes, etc. Flew to Japan and visited 6 cities. I was a bit worried at first about the quality, but it performed flawlessly at all seminars and singing events, including some outdoor events where there was no available electricity and so used the PA's internal battery. It had almost zero feedback problems, just don't put the PA next to the guy wearing the mic. Once when an in-house PA system started to give us problems, we turned this unit on and it saved the day.(BTW, Japanese house current is only 100v, but enough to recharge this unit. Plug prong is also compatible, like U.S.) Customs inspectors in Japan wanted to know what it was; they x-rayed it, then cleared it no problem.Wireless mic was fine, great range. The mic won't pick up sounds from the side, you have to aim it at your mouth, which is different from more expensive units. Had to seriously bend the metal microphone boom to aim the microphone directly toward my mouth, but once positioned, it was great! 3 hours per 9v battery is accurate. Switch has 3 positions: off, standby, and live.Don't expect the included hand-held mic to be wireless as well, even though it is advertised that way. That mic comes with a cable, and no battery compartment. But it works fine as a wired mic. (-1 star for not being wireless.)For $60, I wasn't expecting much. This was an excellent purchase. It survived six 2 to 3-day seminars and singing events, 5 airplane baggage handlings, and numerous train rides in my hardshell suitcaseeBags EXO Hardside 24" Spinner. Knowing what I know now, I would purchase this PA again for doing seminars.
