Fantastic wireless IEM
Easily the best, moderate price IEM on the market. Easy to use, precise instructions and loads of videos on line, on using the device. Strongly recommended.

Too much noise for professional use
The unit is high quality and has enough features for my needs.
But there is a major issue which in the end made me send it back: the noise and interference level is just way too high. Ended up getting the higher-end ew IEM G4 also from Sennheiser and the quality of the transmitted audio is on a whole other level! Unfortunately so is the price.
So I suspect that for monitoring distorted guitars, etc. this will be adequate and is a good choice for price/quality. But for situations with more challenging RF interference and where noise is important (in my case with electronic music) G4 is a much better choice.

Returned it - too much interference and dropouts even after thoroughly scanning
I've ordered the XSW IEM to replace my old t.bone IEM 75. I read mixed reviews, but a friend of mine had positive experiences with the XSW IEM, so I decided to give it a shot. I'm very grateful for Thomann's 30 day return policy!
I thought that the poor reviews might have been a result of user errors, so I read the full user manual. I performed a manual scan of the channels as detailed in the manual and pretty much all channels showed up as interference free. I then powered the transmitter up and was quite surprised with the amount of intermittent noise and dropouts. Costing three and a half times as much as the t.bone IEM 75, I would expect it to be a decent upgrade, but in my experience the t.bone actually outperforms it in terms of RF. The sound quality when there's no interference and dropouts is nice. The sound is a bit fuller and nicer than the t.bone.
However, the dropouts and noise are so irritating that I had to return the XSW IEM. In the same price category, I bought the Mipro MI-58 and couldn't be happier with it so far.

The cover on the receiver comes off a bit too easily. Other than that it's a solid 10/10 product

poor man's IEM
Does the job right. But don't expect a musically fulfilling experiment.

Decent, but there are drop outs
Easy enough to set up, but seems very prone to dropouts, even low amounts of interference will speak trouble. It works, and the sound quality is alright, albeit somewhat noisy unless the band is completely free from interference.
