I took a chance on this one, without being familiar with the t.bone products, and for the price im soo happy i did. This is definitely worth buying! I use them as speech mics, they feel solid, sound similar to a SM58, have not had a cutout over around 70 hours of use, they barely use up much battery life, the 8 hours on two regular AA is pretty accurate. Easy to handle, only minor issue I've had is people accidentally pressing the mute button. Really easy to set up works right out of the box. I recommend it to anyone.
