Just thought I'd share my thoughts on this as I just used them at band practice yesterday for the first time and I tend to see them offered just about every 'affordable IEM' type thread. Any specific questions or anything feel free to PM me.
ok, so a quick review on the Carvin E900's I just got from band practice last night. As my first set of ear buds, I dont have anything to really compare to.... Some things that I'd prefer to be better, but I have to weigh price vs. features vs. real world use for me.
First quality, the buds to me are quality...at practice I have never sang so many songs so quietly and still have low end in my voice, lol. We only had guitar/vocals running through them as drums arent mic'd for practice and our bass player brings a small amp (he will be running direct soon at practice). I didnt get a chance to compare the buds to the ones I got with my Samsung Galaxy SIII, as those sound pretty awesome as well, not sure how they would work for IEM's, but thought I'd try it to compare the sound. The battery pack, is a bit larger, but sits comfortably on my belt....I do with the belt clip was changeable...I mean, on my guitar wireless, I can put the clip on upside down so the antennae is pointing down, not up into my shirt...lol.
Range, the sheet says 300' line of sight. In my above post you can see my experience, just walking around my apartment building. In the morning I went outside...I got half way past the next apartment building before getting some signal fade. when I walked to the back of the apartment (more brick to go through/around) i didnt get as far 'away', but probably same distance from receiver. At practice, where we practice in buddys basement, I made it about the same distance...went upstairs, outside and made it to about the front door sidewalk of neighbors house. Now, my guitar wireless...I hooked it up in my dad's basement when I got it, and walked upstairs and 4 houses down the road and it never dropped....so I wasnt expecting that kind of range from a unit that is about $350 less, but my 'need' for that kind of distance isnt fair. It's just the peace of mind i like. For most gigs I'll ever play, the range for the e900's are just fine.
There are some nice tweaking features for a unit this price point as well, frequency selection, limiter on/off, high end boost on/off, signal attenuater 0/-10db. I'm pretty happy with it. If the buds are the weakest link of a in ear wireless system, then I'm ecstatic cause these ones sound fine, but again, its my first pair, so nothing to really compare against.
Any further questions, feel free to PM me.
