There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
So far the batteries last as long as advertised. If they didn’t that would be the only negative I can see.
Wish list would be to supply a second cable so you could charge both the sender and receiver at once.
[update 8/2021]: As predicted (see below), these devices now run out of power toward the end of each gig. I get about 3 hours of use, if I go to standby on each break. I have not seen any sign that Sennheiser has upgraded the design, and in fact their new product line is based on body packs. So I’m frustrated and disappointed. New compact products from other vendors have continued to focus on bringing the price point down, rather than improving pro performance. I grind my teeth.
[update 1/5/2020]: I have found that these units discharge fairly rapidly once fully charged. Last night on stage my transmitter, which had been fully charged a couple of days before, ran out of gas after less than two hours. This has happened to me before, but I had chalked it up to my perhaps having accidentally not fully charged the unit. This time I'm certain. The units were fully charged but had sat idle for a couple of days. I now realize I must fully charge the units immediately before use (well, say, the night before). This is highly annoying and surprising. They still remain my go-to wireless systems (I have two systems, which I always keep charged) but I hope Sennheiser will upgrade the battery/charging system in the future. We need a) better power hold, b) longer operating time, and c) faster charge time. Other than that, they remain better than all the others I've used.
Updated: finally figured out that if you turn the transmitter and receiver on/off Simultaneously! they easily turn on and off. Would have been nice to have that info in the manual…..
Otherwise, it works well. No more complaints yet.
After a little over one month, now the equipment outputs static. Lots of static. Can’t use it for anything. I tried a different audio interface and some mixers to see if it was the audio equipment failing. Doesn’t work properly on anything. What was once crisp nice audio is now worst than a mic on a phone. Waste of $200. Really big bummer! I love sennheiser but this really fell short.
