I purchase the P and R channel, so far they haven't failed or distorted. Be careful because one of the antennas broke right out of the box. Will buy another set soon.
unbelievable for the price

bought a nady wireless about 5 years ago and hated it. But gave them another chance based on the reviews. never have i seen 2 mics work so well at a low price. I will replace all my audio technica's with these as they wear out. case is a little on the flimsy side so buy some foam windscreens for the top of the mic just to cushion any falls and also to prevent the mics from rolling off of a table and maybe try to fashion a rubber end cap for the other end of the mic and i can see these lasting for years. oh by the way they sell foam windscreens in colors to match your mic volume settings, great for karaoke. great job nady i'll be looking at your other products too. ...

Can't be beat for the price!

I use these in a mobile wedding DJ/Karaoke rig, and these are great mics at twice the price. In fact, I have a much more expensive Samson wireless mic that can't hold a candle to these. The sound quality is excellent. Rich and well-articulated, much like a good wired cardioid mic. (I also use Shure Beta SM58s, so I know a good mic when I hear one.) There was no noticeable noise, and no cutouts. Range is very good, and they're much better on batteries than my other wireless. One cheap dollar-store non-alkaline battery lasts an entire 5 hour karaoke gig. I imagine alkalines would do much better yet. In short, I doubt there's anything in their price range that comes close. If there are any criticisms, it's that there is only a balanced 1/4 output jack on the receiver, and no included carry case. But at this price, that's really nitpicking. Two good wireless mics for less than what one dodgy mic usually costs is a no-brainer. Get 'em while they last. ... More
Nady DUO

Reviewed by Mr. T on Guitar Center
At first I was impressed with them. After about 6 months the quality was not there. They both cracked at the base after 6 months. The plastic is very light as other review state. A buddy of mine also had problems with the switch breaking on a set he bought. Talked to one dealer he said the same probems with the plastic cracking and received some from manufacture with the lower case cracked. The sound was good but I used them quite a bit in a short amount of time and they didn't quite hold up as I hoped.
Great Cheap System

I use this product for a home studio and making videos. They work very well and have great range. The battery life is long and the light on the transmitter is very handy. The sound quality is awesome for the price. There is only a 1/4 output on the reciever and they include a 3' 1/4 to 1/4 cable. But with every cheap system, there are some drawbacks. They sometimes drop out when very close to the receiver, but it's not very noticible. I accidently broke one of the antenna when I was in a hurry and just pushed it down real fast and it broke, but the channel still works fine. I wouldn't use this for any professional events, or theaters because you never know when they'll drop out. But for a home studio, it works great! ... More

Light duty and a great value.

Reviewed by Mr. on Guitar Center
We needed a cordless mic set up for a single event - and these were cheaper than trying to "rent" something, so we bought them. Overall, they worked pretty well. We were in a fairly small venue, so the range was untested. The mics are light and cheap - I would imagine if you dropped one, that may be the end of it; however, they worked as intended with no squelch noise and we have no complaints about voice quality. For the money, however, you can't do much better. Two hand-held transceivers for sixty bucks? That work? If you're buying equipment for hard use (on the road), this is not what you want. However, if this is your first foray into wireless mics and you don't want to spend big money, these have the potential for a big payoff. Yes, for the right application, I would recommend these.
Awesome

Reviewed by Siul Noredlac on Guitar Center
This microphone is awesome, for the price. It does drop out some times. But the audio quality it has is very nice. It gives your voice a warm punchy sound. And the battery lasts well over 8 hours. The other reason i gave it a 4 is because it mixes both channels into one 1/4 out put.
Watch Out Shure!

Reviewed by Joe on Guitar Center
I bought this mic set because i only had one wireless mic (Shure PG24/PG58 Performance Gear Wireless Handheld Microphone System) and i must say the quality is almost equal! However the Nady has an extremely small amount of pink noise, it is not enough to hear through the PA. The microphone construction is nearly equal in construction, however the Nady's have very cheap on off buttons that rattle and that rattling is picked up by the mic. The receiver on this also seams to actually be built better than the Shure. it just seems more rugged. All in all these mics can compete with shure systems and you can save literally close to a grand! Get these you will not be disappointed! ... More
Died just after warranty expired

Reviewed by Tina F on Guitar Center
I've bought 3 sets of these. The first two were fine for 2 years, though they do cut out easily. But the receiver units went out in them so I ordered another set in March of this year. Just last week, they quit working altogether. AT A GIG! I don't use these daily either--once a week max, and only for toasting and announcing winner of anniversary dance. That gives them an hour's use in total and JUST after the warranty expired, so I'm going to have to replace them at my cost. NOT happy!! And I won't be buying this brand again! ... More
1 for 2 worked. The one was just ok.

Reviewed on B&H Photo Video
One of the two worked. Sound was OK for voice, not singing. Range was fine. One mike was dead (well the led was on but no sound). Returned for replacement,now on backorder, ugh!Worst thing is 1/4 inch plug output. The output is mic leve but 1/4 plug. Fine for cheap PA AMP but wrong for ANY mixer. Mixers expect Mic level on XLR (Mike) jacks and line level on 1/4. Buying a 1/4 to XLR adapter is going to be another $ (B&H # COAPMXM). Stupid design decision by Nada. Either put out Mike-XLR or Line on 1/4.For cheap you might get working and might not. You'll be out On-off switch on Mike was placed well easy to use. No real popping when turned on-off, a good thing. Uses 9V batteries which have gotten EXpensive. I prefer 2AA like everything else uses. Even AAA. ... More

I bought this system a year ago to get away from a corded mic. The freedom is great. I DJ car shows and cruise nights all thru the summer months and it was a pleasure setting it up and using it....very simple, no problems. The box it's packaged in is no better than an empty tissue box and can't be used more than once. I found a small, old cassette tape case at a thrift store for $1.49, lined it with 1" foam and the whole system travels safely now.

Pros: I've used the Shure brand and can't tell much difference in sound, these actually sound better. I did hook up a band.Customers like the on/off switch.Price is the biggest pro.If they do break, you're not out of much. cons: I did experience so dropping on the green side mic. I don't know for what reason, but it was not as bad as the audio tech mic I use.

Bought a set of these used for $30. They are not vocal performance mics, but are excellent for speaking/MC work. Range is great, good battery life, not a lot of feedback problems. This is NOT road gear, it is lightweight and fragile. Receiver will pick up occasional interference if both mics are turned off. I use them as DJ/PA mics, and they serve that purpose well.

I bought these mics after reading a lot of feedback on this site about them. I had my nieces birthday to buy for, and her and her siblings all love to sing and perform together (they range from ages 3-7). They destroyed a corded mic, that had come with a karaoke machine one have them had received, and had constantly fought over the one mic it came with. Now they have have no cords, two mics and it was an easy set up!!! They all loved them! Also bought a couple microphone foam windscreens (because kids will be kids) and some microphone sanitizer to protect them and the mics as well. Received within 36 hours without having to pay for shipping too!!! You rock B&H!!! And now they can too!!! =) ... More

Reviewed by ALAN on Guitar Center
We use these on jobs for our vocalists and they seem to work fine. I have purchased three more of these microphone systems which are on different frequencies than the first one I bought, so I can use at least one of these systems to mike solo instruments which frees up one of my eight inputs on my monitor. I could use all three of these for that purpose freeing up three of my eight inputs on my monitor but each soloist would have to make sure that they turn the mike on when playing and off when done, as they are all using the same frequencies, which appears to cause a problem if two with the same frequency are on at the same time. ...

The only reason I put 4 stars instead of 5 is that I have not had this item for very long yet. LIterally just plugged it in once. The price is cheap and since wireless microphones can be much more expensive we thought we'd give it a shot. I am impressed at how clear the sound is with these. Very nice, as these will be used in various locations around the room at our church. Hopefully they will last for some time. If they do, I would move this up to a 5 star rating.

I bought another brand to be my main karaoke mics and Nady's as my mic and my assistant's. Five seconds into first song of night first mic died (other brand) and then other. Had to use my two Nady's as main mics for rest of 4 hour show. They shined and saved me! Still want to get something better but I know I can depend on Nady's for back up. They proved themselves. They are ok mics.

I use this product for DJ'ing so that the best man and made of honor can use them to give their toast and speeches. The price is really good and they do get very good signal and work up to several feet away from the receiver The only bad thing that I have noticed about them is the innards are not very stable and they make a lot of popping and crackling noises if moved a lot.
