Excellent features
Received the T-bone mic today and was initially impressed by the weight in the case. although in an old school Shure radio mic case, it felt pretty solid.
After unpacking and connecting up, I have had a good play with all the features, and the amount of control given here is impressive. From altering the gain on the mic, to altering the power of the transmitter to balance battery saving with power to reach further away from the receiver (Speaking of which, with the receiver inside my dining room, with thick sandstone walls, I was able to go outside and at least 40 metres away with my back turned blocking the signal without any issue) .
The IR sync is quick and responsive, the auto channel search is again very quick at its job, and makes life very simple. All in all the receiver is an excellent piece of equipment and well worth the five stars.
However, the mic itself is not quite so deserving. Again it has a weighty, quality to it, and aside from the IR sync, has some manual buttons to alter frequencies etc yourself if you so wish. It feels like a solid build, and like it will take a few knocks if need be.
on testing with the Amp, the sound is well rounded and in need of very little tweeking. but then comes the sticking point. Handling noise! just lightly handling this mic produces quite a bit of noise, even after reducing the gain on the mic to the lowest setting.
I am quite physical with a mic on stage, swapping hands in the middle of songs via a short throw, clipping it in and out of a mic stand etc. So I'm unsure how well this mic is going to work out for me. I have used far inferior mics to this at an even more budget price that have little to no handling noise. Now it may be that this particular item has a fault on it for which I have already written to Thomann about, and should they reply and be able to resolve this issue, I will definitely be adding on a star or two to this review. The overall sound is excellent as is the ease of use and build of the receiver, but if the handling noise is a normal part of this mic then it may prove of limited use.

Nice microphone
I've had my Shure SM58 wireless for many years now and wanted to get a new system and got this Free Solo-system. The sound is loud and clear. It's very easy to set up the system and if necessary change the values in the reciever/transmitter.
Compared to Shure its good, but not better.

Très satisfait - Très bon transmetteur UHF
A l'exception de la capsule micro qui est de qualité moyenne, ce T.Bone free solo HT est vraiment très bon.
Très bonne transmission avec peu de bruit.
Très bonne qualité du boitier et présentation superbe du micro (métal).
Réglages nombreux et très faciles.
Ce système est comparable au Shure BLX24R qui est plus de 2 fois plus coûteux.
La capsule micro d'origine a un son manquant de clarté et est assez sujette au Larsen. Je l'ai facilement remplacée par une capsule clone de SM58 et alors ce système devient vraiment excellent !

Very surprised
Was not expecting these to work as well as they did. They look and feel professional, they sound great and it has most of the features wireless systems that cost a lot more have. Saw a lot of reviews saying the handling noise was a problem but Thomann have either fixed that since their reviews or they were using them to juggle with. Would recommend.

Bang for buck
Not a single problem with this microphone. Really good vocal reproduction, with a bit of proximity effect when singing really into it. Regarding transmission reliability, so far no problem using it in Italy, Germany, France and Switzerland, the frequency selection saved the day many many many times.

Can't use it
Bought this mike just after Xmas 2016
Looks great feel great fits nice in my rack
But no matter what I do can't use it for more than halfway into my first song where the volume drops to about a quarter and becomes useless I just end up throwing it back in the box and using my wired senhiser it really sounds great for the first sixty seconds just whish it would stay on .....

t.bone free solo HT 863 MHz
fabulous medium priced cordless mic.
I use this as a roving, mic but have a 2nd one that I use as a public mic for speeches, guest singers or in cabaret.
These mic's have a really great sound & are strongly made and so not easily damaged even if accidentally dropped.
compared to other makes of similar or even higher price these win hands down.
Negative: The power cord could be longer.

Amazing Value Microphone
I use this microphone for speech use only no singing.
It is used at public ebents such as school and gaming events.
The sound quality is very good for this sort of thing. I cannot comment if it would be ok for live band vocals but in all honesty i think it would hold up well.
The microphone has excellent range, 100m was not a problem. No drop out of the signal and the delay was inperceivable.
Battery usage seemed fine, gave me no worries.
I noticed no excessive handling noise like some reviews have stated.
It feels well made and the case has proved useful, even has space for spare batteries..... a nice little touch.
Overall i am very pleased with the qualirt and value of this microphone and am going to purchase another very soon.
I was lucky enough to compare this to a much more expensive shure beta58 based system and the sound was so close it suprised me.
Maybe a better PA system would have shown a bigger difference but i was running it thru RCF art 312a MK4 so pretty decent speakers!
Well done Thomann, a very good value piece of equipment.
