The LD IEM set comes in a fancy, sturdy carrying case and the user experience of the newly designed interface on the transmitter is easy. Sadly, those are the things that float above the positive line. The receiver belt pack is made of plastic and feels frail to the point I feel I might break it If I'm not careful.
I play mainly Bass guitar and I like to think that my sound is generally what one expects to get out of a decent bass guitar and amp. That seems to be the first weak point of this unit. The low frequencies tend to deteriorate and distort. When I played bass just by myself the issues in the sound quality are quite apparent.
I've used this set in a rehearsal situation and on live gigs. The amount of hiss and random static bursts were less noticeable in a live music gig setting as the band sound generally has distortion etc in the mix. The rehearsals were a different story, alas. Now that the volume level was way more controlled, the not-so-clear sound started to annoy me pretty fast. The sound quality seems to quickly get worse as the battery power wanes.
And one annoying thing was also that the rack ears tend to make the unit bulge outwards in the rack.
TL;DR Great for a solo act or a band that only has, say, acoustic guitars and vocals, lacking in a full range band setting. Especially on the low end.
Would I buy this again if broken or stolen? No.
