(More customer reviews)I'm a part-time Karaoke host at a couple local bars in my town. A contemporary of mine put together the Mother-of-all-Karaoke Rigs: 12-channel mixing board, Electro-Voice speakers, preamps, compressors, sonic maximizers, Shure x-series wireless mics, intelligent EQs--and everything he bought was from professional music supply houses and brand-new.
I'm exactly the opposite; this isn't my career--it's just a fun hobby. I have a Mackie 808S 8 Channel Powered Mixer driving two JBL loudspeakers and a floor monitor. Period. My rig sounds pretty decent, and I didn't break the bank assembling it. After all, it's not like Britney Spears or Eminem are performing at my shows. However, I liked my buddy's wireless mics, so when I off-handedly asked him what the four of them set him back, I nearly passed out when he said "Oh yeah! I got 'em on sale! Only $659 apiece!"
After a gagging spit-take, I said "Looks like I'll be sticking with my Seindheisser corded mics for a while."
That was until I found this Pyle setup on Amazon here.
Okay, they're not Shures. That much is certain. But for the money, they're really decent little mics. They feel lightweight and plasticky, but have a semi-rubberized coating on them much like my ThinkPad does. The power switches are recessed and fairly rugged, and the battery compartment cover screws onto the bottom of the mics snugly and with authority.
On the back are two balanced XLR outputs--one for each mic--and a single unbalanced 1/4" mixed output. You could use this set on a professional rig, like I do with XLR cables, or connect it to your home stereo with the 1/4".
And the sound? It sounds very decent. The radios work well, with no interference at all. However, the unit puts out an inordinate lot of highs, so to stave off feedback I have to pot down the high EQ on the channels it's connected to. But they still sound good nonetheless. Besides, unlike my buddy, who will doubtless get a peptic ulcer worrying about his wicked-expensive mics in the hands of inebriated revelers, because of the low price, I worry significantly less about Drunkie McDrunkelstein dropping it--I could replace the whole set with less than half the proceeds from a single gig, if necessary.
All-in-all, these mics are a good value for the money. I've been very happy with them.
