Suggestions for dirt cheap personal wireless in-ear system?

[kiat]

Dirt cheap because this won't be going anywhere, it's for rehearsal-space only.

I have the ability to send everyone their own custom mix from my board. I use a Sennheiser wireless in-ear system for rehearsal and live; two packs each with a signal from it's own Aux send. Both of these are in-use already. Drummer uses a wired feed. I've also got a Galaxy wireless but it can only handle one mix and send to multiple body packs - the guitarists use this system.

Our lead vocalist previously also used the galaxy, but eventually wanted her own mix, so she went to a super cheap Behringer PM-1 wired body pack. Understandably, she feels tethered. Even though we are in a dedicated rehearsal space, she'd like a wireless setup, but wants to spend as little as possible. Ideally, I'd like it to take a mono XLR input.

I've tried searching, but I'm getting results all over the place. I'm expecting low-ish quality and that's okay. Anyone have ideas?

Desired Parameters:
- Inexpensive
- Wireless
- Single channel
- XLR input

This fits the bill.
the t.bone IEM 75

It's my first serious IEM system (I've been through cheap Chinese lightweight battery systems) and it's working great.

It takes 1 or 2 XLRs or 1/4" jacks as mono or stereo. The headphones are stereo and surprisingly good as I've just found out, really outperforming my KZ IEMs.

For a rehearsal space, I ask whether you really need wireless at all.

"She" (who must be obeyed) needed wireless. A cautionary tale. 'Nuff said.

Looks good. Is that frequency band legal in North America (OP is in Canada)?

Easily checkable on the Thomann website, which seems to be very reliable with its info (I've read hundreds of reviews from customers and no one has yet pointed out an inacurracy that I've seen). They provide that band checking service for all the transmitting IEM gear they sell.

So, I am also in Canada, and bought the Debra System from that Amazon place. I bought the stereo rack mount unit. My guitarist uses one channel and I use the other. My drummer is also wired, and our other singer uses an xvive (all for rehearsal)
It works well. It has XLR inputs, and its not using the 2.4 frequency. Its cheap, and it would enable you to have another mix so your guitarist and you don't have to share anymore. The make a single channel unit also but I have no experience with it. I bought it cause I wanted to try it out and the XLR inputs are nice (but once again, it is still a mono unit)

Thank you, I also suggested the Debra to her for the dirt-cheapness, as it hit all the parameters.

I've been using the $40 Lekato 2.4 ghz model for a few months now without any issues with 3 different bands.

(and $40 KZ ZS10's, a $78 Glarry 5 string, a $50 5.8 Ghz Legato instrument wireless, and a $96 M-vave tank pro pedal to complete my entire "live rig" for a grand total of about $500 all-in counting a Fender FB620 gig bag, LaBella tapes, and gotoh resolites)

Cheap stuff can work if you don't treat it like it's cheap.

For your purposes, how about just inserting a wireless unit between the output of the P1 and her earphones? If she's happy with what she gets from the P1, something like a Lekato MS-1 (around £40-50) could work. Basically just continue using the P1 to get her mix, but rather than taking the earphone feed directly, plug it into the MS-1 transmitter. The receiver is tiny and light, easy to clip-on, and has volume controls.

Was just about to suggest this. Lekato, as mentioned above and Joyo (I own the Joyo) make nice little wireless IEM systems. I also have the Behringer P2 and maybe price wise it's cheap but it's a solidly built unit and works well.
