This is my new favorite wireless microphone system. The range is great but I don't think I ever moved far away enough to see when they would drop off, but that being said I know in line of sight in a crowded (airwave interference) environment I never moved out of range, even when I was over 100 feet away, which is more distance then I would probably ever need in real world applications. I love how Sony kept the controls similar to the rest of the microphone ecosystem they have developed. The same controls make learning the system easy and is well matched across the different devices within the system. Sound quality was top notch and never had an issue. Where I really wasn't impressed with this set was in the overall design of the product. I have several issues that stand out. The first is the carry case/charger, while I really appreciate the idea of it, I would rather it be a bit bigger so it can hold both wind socks, and the foot adapter for the receiver. In order to use the case, you can not have the foot installed on the receiver, nor the wind socks installed. The case needed to be able to carry all of it, foot, the wind socks, and a small USB-C cord to fully win me over. I am still having to carry these items separately in my camera bag, and try not to lose them. The next big issue for me, (and will only be an issue for a few people wanting this system) is, I use the XLR-H1 on my FX30 with a mono XLR microphone attached. You must plug the receiver into the XLR-H1 using a TRS cable. While this option works....you must also mount the receiver only using it supplied mounting foot. This must be done by using a double ended 1/4-20 treaded adapter. The receiver does fit in a standard cold shoe mount, but it (one) leaves the small hot shoe pins exposed, and (two) fits too loosely to actually use. Like I said however, this is only a real issue for those of us with slightly more advance line up of equipment. Mount it right on top of the camera as most people would, and this isn't even an issue. It is nice that it does at least have the TRS output available, so you don't have to rely solely on a Sony camera with only a hot shoe input, to be able to enjoy this wireless set. Lastly, my last critique on this set is the transmitters themselves. If I had to put these microphones on a couple at a wedding, or other client type work, I see the on/off switch and other setting switches far to easy to operate. It would be nice to see either an old fashioned hold slide hiding on the body somewhere, or a switch system that wouldn't be so easy to switch. Speaking from past experience,(and not with this Sony set) its a bad day when a client accidentally shuts off the microphone as the bride starts walking... With those items of design in consideration, I would recommend this only to someone that is just a self or solo creator that works for themself or does YouTube. While it will work very well for most people shopping in this range of wireless microphones, the design is limiting for those reaching for a more professional use.
