the t.bone IEM 75

I use this wireless in-ear monitor kit every weekend for pub gigs and weddings with my live band. I find them absolutely brilliant. They are the first set of in-ears I have purchased, I didn't want to spend a fortune and decided to try them out as they were great value, I was not disappointed! They work perfectly, I haven't had an issues with them. I can sort out the mix I want pre-gig on our PA and control the volume if needs be on the wireless pack during the gig. The fact that they are wireless is brilliant because I do so much moving around on stage! Everything is very clear and the volume you can get from them is great. I was afraid I'd need them turned up to the last but I don't. They are very easy to use and quick to set up and take down. The ear phones are comfortable to wear, I normally just wear one so I can still hear a bit of the atmosphere.

As a vocalist I find them excellent for maintaining my voice. Because I can hear myself perfectly I am no longer forcing my vocals and straining them. I can play many gigs in a row without losing my voice which was not always the case with wedges.

The only thing I would change about them is the fact that the pack uses batteries rather than just being a rechargeable device like a camera or a phone. But that is a small price to pay for being able to hear yourself perfectly at a gig!

And also worth mentioning before ordering these I had tried out a set of SURE in-ears belong to a friend of mine for one gig just to try in-ears in general. I'm not sure what model they were but they were definitely very expensive! My t.bone's are just as good! Delighted with them! Would definitely encouraging anyone to invest in them!

Reading other reviews and taking into account the price, this system is about what I expected. The earbuds that come with it are pretty poor but just about usable so expect to upgrade these. Sounds great through better quality buds and decent headphones. Tested initially at home and had no real problems even when 30 metres away in the garden, even though the transmitter was behind a solid brick wall and glass patio doors. Tested again at a live gig working maximum 15 metres from the transmitter and did get a few short RF bursts despite changing the channel a couple of times. This was probably due to radio mics being used at a nearby venue. It is a bit of an experiment really, I am a mobile karaoke operator and I am using the system to offer people who have hearing problems more clarity and a better experience than performing with just the sound from the speakers (LD Maui 28's). One person used the option on the night and was over the moon with being able to hear the music and their vocal so clearly, so very promising so far.

I bought a few of the t.bone IEM 75's about 6 months ago now and I'm absolutely delighted with them!
They were originally bought for practice, so that a band could rehearse without using a PA system for which they worked like a charm. I have even used them for a few gigs for which they gave me no hassle.
The quality of the ear plugs arent amazing, they kind of sound like they are missing a bit of the top end, but they are really loud. As for the overall sound quality, not 100% clear, there always seems to be a slight hiss, especially if the volume of the sound going into the broadcast box is low, but i didn't find this to be a huge issue, they are definetely usable and are definetwly worth €100. We had three of them running at the same time in a very small room and had no problems with interference on different channels. The batteries last a few hours in the receiver, the screen flashes red when the battery is low then you have anything up to an hour before they go completely. The broadcast box feels really sturdy as its made of metal. The receiver on the other hand feels a bit flimsy, especially the little antenna, but as with all things if you take good care of it it won't break. I was pleasantly surprised with the range of them - I had to use the restroom while in a rehearsal studio one day which was a good 200 meters away from the broadcast box and down a few flights of stairs, to my amazement I could still hear my band rehearsing the whole time I was gone.
All in all... very happy with these.

This is a completely unspectatcular product, in the best possible way. Unpack it, put the batteries in the receiver and off you go. Perfectly good sound and will easily drive any set of hed phones you chose, not just those included in the package.

Also included is a perfectly usable rack mounting kit, complete with the provisions for attaching the antenna to the front.

I haven't tried it in a live setting, but for use in the home studio to not have to trip over wires while moving about. I really like that the power switch is like an old TV on the far left of the volume control. That way it's easy to locate and you don't risk excessive sound levels as you switch it on.

My only complaints are concerning connectivity. The XLR / jack connectors don't feel really secure for jack connections, and the option to use a 3.5 mm plug and / or phono connectors would have been a nice touch.

Its a sturdy made gear. Metal case, nice antenna for a transmitter. But receiver's antenna looks very flimsy. I think it will not last long in case of hard use.

In set it has a extension wire to connect it to some big antenna.

It has 2 metal holders and a set of screws - but there is no instruction how to fix the transmitter to a wall, which can be really handy in case of lack of space. Screws do not fit any holes in transmitter. Transmitter has 4 holes in sides - but they do not fit to holes in holders - so really a mystery how to attach one to another and all to a wall.

I can't switch channels on receiver. Maybe I do something wrong, but this device looks simple, so i can't imaging what I do wrong. But my receiver stick to the 1st channel. I don't need more though, but if you need - it can be a problem with this device.

Earplugs are great. Soft and nicely fit my ears.

Sound is "ssshhhh" a bit like on a bad radio. But its not for a mastering, eh? I can easily hear music playing and practicing my guitar simultaneously - this is what I bought it for. But do not buy it for some precise music tasks or even for listening your favourite music without wires. But it will totally do the trick on a gig when you need to monitor whats going on.

The base unit and receiver work fine and are great value at this price. I have no real issues over these. It's handy to have 2 inputs to balance guitar and vocals.

The big let down are the headphones which I found extremely low fi quality and pretty much unusable. I would go as far to say the tinny sound could actually damage your hearing if you had it too loud and I'm sure they will not cut it in a live situation. I was going to immediately return this product but I plugged in my i-pod headphones and the sound was a lot better so I will persevere and spend a bit more on some other headphone units.

The only other annoying thing is the 2 pin continental style PSU meaning you have to carry a 2 pin adapter everywhere but I guess that's because it's made for the European market.

Personally I would have happily payed an extra £20 for some decent headphones rather than the rubbish ones in this set.

I have yet to try it live but I think the system will work OK with some decent headphones.

About 6 months ago I purchased two of this for more like practice sessions not for big stages, but after month of use we decided include them in our show and they did very well, singal was stable and good thing we could adjust level of left and right channel in the back of transmitter
And of course you can buy more receivers and synchronize them so if you want click of metronome for every bend member on transmitter and receivers will handle this

Note: for best result, use only high quality batteries in receivers and make sure the are fully charged or new, signal stability will suffer with cheap and low quality batteries inside receivers

One more thing i mentioned earlier it's the price, in the market there are lots of expensive high quality wireless in-ear monitoring systems but for the band starter pack will cost 3.000-5000$ and much more, but with this system u can learn how work with wireless in-ear monitoring systems and not sale home for buying it

In case if you aren't sure take IEM or not this system will help you working with metronome click and stay in time, it will help you learn working with playbacks and will give you opportunity experiencing real version of most big shows where IEM are included

I'm not used to use cheap products on the stage, after 20 years testing crap I decided to stick up with brands that I know that works, but sometimes musicians don't have money to buy good gear and they come up with those chineses devices, there is no magic in the audio world: if it is cheap it is crap. Again the rule applies to this device. Only 8 meter between the transmitter and the receiver the level of interference is so loud that the musician can barely listen the mixer. We got two units for testing and they are horrible. Please save a little bit more money and by a Shure PS200 do not spend money with crap like this.
