You can't go wrong with Shure SLX series...We don't use any wireless mics but when we do (in the near future), that's what we will be using.

Well I tried a Line 6 for about a month and it sounded great. Then one day it started dropping out, so I returned it and bought a great EV lead mic.

 

If I were to buy one again I would get a Sure in the $500-$600 range.

Samson Technologies has some great products as well.  Great professional products at very reasonable prices.  I currently have the Airline Synth Guitar wireless system and its really, really nice.  Truly wireless ... no belt pack.  Low S/N ratio -- plenty of transmitting power -- and very true audio (i can't tell the difference between the wireless and the line).  

 

They have a complete line of microphone products from studio, to digital, to wireless -- you name it!  You can check them out at   http://www.samsontech.com 

 

 They don't deal with a lot of national outlets ... (Guitar Center, Musician's Friend, etc) but it's not that hard to find a dealer.  In fact, my "guitar guy" here in El Paso became one of there dealers because of me! 

 

God Bless You!

I don't like them very much - none of them are perfect. We get interference, fade, static. Usually, everything runs great. But just when you least expect it, they give you trouble.  If you don't need them, don't get them. We have Sennheiser series BTW. (Maybe that's our problem...)
