For those people that can't get to ebay (work restrictions), it would be NICE if you'd given some info on the mics, rather than an ebay link!

Shure T288 Twin Pro DUAL HAND HELD Wireless System

I've not had any shure wireless purchases...

According to the specs its using PG58 mic capsules. A PG58 wired mic cost 50 - 60 bucks. As far as I'm concerned 349.00 is overpriced for PG58 quality wireless.

Pass on this.

Try the Audio Stream AS890 dual wireless setup for around 199.00.

I look everywhere but I couldn't find any website that sells Audio Stream AS890.

Please advice!

Take a look at a Shure SM58 I reccomend uhf vs vhf. The vhf mics do not work very well.

I wouldn't recconed any brand of vhf mic.

go out and do an internet search. Many retailers will sell the Shure mics!

By the way, I'd check out the 990s by Audio Stream. It's a far superior product to it's earlier cousin the 890.

2 Shure SM58 UFH Vocalist will run about $800. Check your local Guitar Center for lasts years model the have been clearing them out for $300 which is a great deal.
I have tried just about every brand of mic over the last 8 years and all have fallen. I still have my 1st Shure mic and it works just a good as the day I bought it. Now I have 4 of them 2 for each system and I swear by them.

Sennheiser maks a great mic also the EW135G2 they run about $500 each and sound fantastic. The also have 1024 channels vs the shure's 10 I believe.

Audio Technica mics aren't bad but they have a small white power switch on them that is prone to break. The have 3 different levels of their mics Pice goes from $350 down to $99.

Most of the Nady UHF mics are single channel and depending on you set up they are prone to cell phone interferance, because they are unable to swich frequencies.

Gemini are very hit and miss. I have a friend that has a dual uhf system and it's on it's 5th year. On the other hand another friend bought a new vhf system I could never get it to stop feeding back.

Vocal Pro - I have no personal experience with their mics, but every other piece of their equipment we have tired lasted less than a year.
