great for regular gigging, not too heavy to be clipped to belt (i am a drummer however, so can't vouch for someone moving around the stage). Great sound clarity. One major flaw however, the stereo xlr is very flimsy, i have had two broken cables in 2 years, and the cables are very hard to source. I have had to have one specially made. Its a shame, if they sorted the cable problem i would recommend this product to anyone.
