Audio 2000s iem wireless is it usable or trash?

Most (all?) of the "consumer" wireless units are cr*p, don't wast your money. The least expensive one I've found that's acceptable is the Samson UHF Airline units with the plug-in transmitter, no belt pack. Nice! Had great results with mine and good range and good sound too.
Like i stated before minus my few minor gripes (mainly the beltpack batery door being cheaply made) this system works excellent and I reccomend it fully for musicians on a tight budget im extremely picky as ive ran my iems hardwired for a long time before testing this system. Im getting clear sound and true stereo mix and I haven't had dropouts. Im going to be buying 3 more for my band soon im waiting on my refund for the voco pro digital system I returned wich was a shame because the build quality display and sound was excellent it just had constant dropouts on every channel so I had to return it sadly if it was as stable as the audio 2000s system I wouldn't even think of an upgrade down the line. If voco pro got that system stable sennheiser and shure would need to cut their prices down big time or get left in its dust.
 
Ok got my other wireless the vocopro digital iem system in and did some intial testing and I'm fairly certain its getting returned wich is a shame because the build quality is exceptional. I'm experiencing dropouts on every chanel atm sadly. Im going to be trying a 3rd system if I returning the vocopro digital system.
No more Vocopro's for me. I bought a dual mic system that worked pretty good until the last gig. One of the mics no longer connects to the receiver. I was forced to buy another single mic system. Even though 1 mic works I'm ditching it.
 
I know its better sounding then the Galaxy Audio As1100 it doesn't artifact or have as much noise floor and the Audio 2000 system cost less then half as much. The As1100 body pack build quality is much more durable and the transmiter has more options available. I haven't compared it to the As1400 tho but I'm assuming it may be a little better then the As1100 weither the sound has improved enough to beat this remains to be seen but when it cost $180 shipped after tax the As1400 would need to be much better sounding for me to rec it over the Audio 2000 as the As1400 is easily twice as expensive just my thoughts.

The guitarist in my band just got an Audio 2000 setup. He had never done in ears before, so I was interested in seeing what he thought. After our gig last night he said he recommended them, but did mention the belt pack seemed cheap. I've been using wired in ears, but last night's stage spaghetti clinched it. I'm on the fence about the Audio 2000. Maybe get a mobile phone holster/case to clip on your belt and put the pack in that.

I'm also going to check with GuitarCenter and see what they have used, since a new Shure or AT is out of my price range. GC has their ProCoverage insurance you can add to used purchases.

Just get decent buds (if you don't have them already) :)
