excellent solution for amplified violin
This is such a great product! The produced sound is very similar to acoustic violin, it doesn't sound metallic or too rough like it happens with bridge pickup systems.
I mainly use it with a Behringer Xenyx mixer and I have to turn up the gain really high, almost 100% to get a full sound, but when you get it right, add some sweet reverb, it sounds really good. It would definitely benefit from a preamp pedal, but if the preamps and EQ on your mixer are good, then you can surely shape the sound really well without anything extra.
Putting it on the violin is not particularly difficult, but you have to make sure it's tight in order to get a consistent clear sound without buzzing. The glue that holds the velcro has lost it's strength on one edge but it's nothing major or unfixable.

good
I play at least 3 times a weak ,bars Céilidhs weddings ect after my fave transducer died a year ago I made the big mistake of getting a fish-man copper plate transducer that was a complete waste of money and so I did my research their is a good youtube clip of the battlefield band where they have to fiddle players one has the headway band the other has some kind of transducer that is what clinched it for me.OK a mic gives you a far truer sound and if you are going to play to silent audiences with other acoustic instruments and not do your own sound then go ahead.If on the other hand you play a large range of venues and often have to sound check under time pressure ect then I think you will for the price be hard pushed to find anything better than this.

For us better than the fishman
For us it is better than the Fishman Piezos, less harsh, less boxy. And for us, much better than a 2 times more expensive DPA as it is a pickup, not a microphone, so no any ambience comes throughout.
In these circumstances with this device You can make a superloud well-soundig violin on the stage and the and to the public too.
The sound is very far from a well mic-ed studio sound, but not bad. Much better than the fishermans I know.

Good sound, simple to use
The Headway band sounds good and is very simple to put on / take off compared to bridge style pick ups, they are probably better sounding pick ups on the market but you can't go wrong buying The Band as it will always do as a back up if you have something better and the fact that you can move it from one violin to another very quickly is fantastic. Glad I purchased one.

Decent
Definitely better out there. Not bad for the price. Good for limiting feedback and playing in front of large audience. Certainly better ones around in terms of bringing out the best sound of your violin

Good sound but uncomfortable to use
The sound on two of the violins I have used with the Band was very good but on another not so good. I think the not so good sound was because that particular violin had a small body and the Band didn't wrap round it efficiently.
pros:
- good sound
- far less feedback than when using a microphone
- easy to put on and take off
cons:
- the quarter inch jack connection (why not 1/8th?) feels heavy and makes the violin feel unbalanced and difficult to play.
After two years, I've switched to a Shadow 941.

Best out there
I tried plenty violin pickups, but this by far the best sounding and easiest to use. After many times trying this, and others in the process, this had the least feedback. The ease of attaching and removing is as quick as the eye literally and leaves no marks on the instrument and its varnish. The sound is really natural

Headway Band
This pickup has very loud background noise and also buzzes a great deal. I would not recommend.

Good sound, bit tricky to attach
This worked well in our folk rock ensemble, decent sound and good feedback rejection. However it's a bit tricky to attach tight enough so that it does not rattle.
