the t.bone IEM 75

I use this wireless in-ear monitor kit every weekend for pub gigs and weddings with my live band. I find them absolutely brilliant. They are the first set of in-ears I have purchased, I didn't want to spend a fortune and decided to try them out as they were great value, I was not disappointed! They work perfectly, I haven't had an issues with them. I can sort out the mix I want pre-gig on our PA and control the volume if needs be on the wireless pack during the gig. The fact that they are wireless is brilliant because I do so much moving around on stage! Everything is very clear and the volume you can get from them is great. I was afraid I'd need them turned up to the last but I don't. They are very easy to use and quick to set up and take down. The ear phones are comfortable to wear, I normally just wear one so I can still hear a bit of the atmosphere.

As a vocalist I find them excellent for maintaining my voice. Because I can hear myself perfectly I am no longer forcing my vocals and straining them. I can play many gigs in a row without losing my voice which was not always the case with wedges.

The only thing I would change about them is the fact that the pack uses batteries rather than just being a rechargeable device like a camera or a phone. But that is a small price to pay for being able to hear yourself perfectly at a gig!

And also worth mentioning before ordering these I had tried out a set of SURE in-ears belong to a friend of mine for one gig just to try in-ears in general. I'm not sure what model they were but they were definitely very expensive! My t.bone's are just as good! Delighted with them! Would definitely encouraging anyone to invest in them!

This is a completely unspectatcular product, in the best possible way. Unpack it, put the batteries in the receiver and off you go. Perfectly good sound and will easily drive any set of hed phones you chose, not just those included in the package.

Also included is a perfectly usable rack mounting kit, complete with the provisions for attaching the antenna to the front.

I haven't tried it in a live setting, but for use in the home studio to not have to trip over wires while moving about. I really like that the power switch is like an old TV on the far left of the volume control. That way it's easy to locate and you don't risk excessive sound levels as you switch it on.

My only complaints are concerning connectivity. The XLR / jack connectors don't feel really secure for jack connections, and the option to use a 3.5 mm plug and / or phono connectors would have been a nice touch.
