I’ve given these mics a few more tries. Worked flawlessly during two events and I just tested with a new method and was blown away with the results.
The video shows a girl using the mic 65’ from the receiver and walking slightly further, and it worked this well for over 15 minutes. Not a single noticeable dropout.
The photo is a little rig I cooked up, I have a 12v lithium battery for the receiver and a wired in ear monitor belt pack which also runs on battery. I put some TV on my phone and sat the mic on the phone’s speaker and walked away with this rig (basically a reverse of how a sane person would test the mic) listening to what the receiver was outputting on the fly. I was able to walk over a 100’ without any dropouts, and 225’ with a few drop outs here and there when in motion. Then I walked around a building 25’ over and though there were a few dropouts, it was mostly clear! That’s +225’ not line of sight and it still had signal.
I switched to the lav bodypack and had similar results, though I lost the signal completely about half the way around the building. The lav does suffer from fluttering so it’s going to be useless outdoors, but functions decently.
I’ve increased the rating to 5 stars because it’s an incredible value. I guess the first time I used it, I ran into some bad luck as you can keep reading below for my first impression. I’m still going to keep these as backup, but I will not be as worried now that I’ve had some success with them.

Original 4 star review:
Tried it out last night at a wedding as a DJ. Worked great at the booth for announcements. I wasn’t going to use it on stage but the timeline had to shift because things fell behind which left me no leeway to lay cable for a speech segment 30 feet away.
It was used side by side with a Sennheiser EW 100 G1 handheld (9v battery kind) and the Phenyx Pro suffered interference and dropouts a few times intermittently. The receiver was 3’ 6” off the ground to start with and there was almost direct line of sight with the only thing blocking was the grooms hand on the bottom of the mic, maybe the brides body and the wood in my facade. The speaker stand pole was also near by and I had the receiver stacked on top of the Sennheiser receiver. I raised the receiver to 4’ and sat it on a corner of the facade and faced the antenna perpendicular to the direction of the mic which improved the signal but it was still suffering a little bit of drop outs on the indicator, almost not noticeable. Mind you, the sennheiser didn’t have any issues with this situation the entire time and the squelch setting was on high. We were outdoors on a church lawn, with nothing but parking lot around us.
I’m not sure if it was bad luck but this is a pretty typical distance and environment you can expect to use a wireless mic. It might be okay for a small karaoke or cafe singer songwriter performance setup, where you’re never more than 15’ from the receiver, but it’s not ready for prime time.
Other than that, the build quality is impressive and doesn’t feel cheap. I also bought the body pack for the lavalier mic and that’s all plastic and feels pretty cheap, so fair warning on that. The scanning and syncing works well so ease of use gets high marks. Sound quality is fine, the handling noise is definitely higher than the Sennheiser, but about what’s expected from a mic at this price. The deal breaker for me is the unreliability at a real world distance and it should not be breaking a sweat at 30-35 feet.
I’ll keep this around as a last resort, and I’m curious about Phenyx Pro’s true diversity handheld.
