I have 5 of these that I use for ENG and Production audio for tv and film.

Highs:
Best sounding wireless lavs for the money, They sound crystal clear, reliable, rugged, and long battery life (I suggest copper tops). Ok range for being limited to 30mw, I'm usually in the same room as my transmitters though. Frequency selection is simple and the easy setup is awesome, The ME2 lavs sound amazing, the only reason why I would need different lavs is if I needed something more compact like the Countryman B6.

Lows:
All are really minor issues: Transmitters are a little bulky, the ME2 lavs are a little bulky, 30mw output keeps your range short (I guess that's why they make the 2000 series), when the transmitters start loosing power the signals get weaker and start getting transmission hits. The ME2 lav cables are weak, get kinked, and disconnect from the capsule internally. I've had to have 2 of them re-cabled in 9 months but now their better than new.

Needs overhaul

Seinnheiser, you need to change the way the mic screws into the trans/receiver. This connection eventually gets loose and then your done! These are my main "work horse" mics...Read complete review

    These lavs are good and pretty easy to use. I wish the antenna was replaceable though. I live in the Bay Area and I've had some troubles getting a clear signal. So far they've served their purpose.

      I have one set of these, and have found out to my delight, that you may connect a shotgun mic to the transmitter, in lieu of the included lavalier mic. This makes for a very acceptable wireless area microphone.

        Great kit, very durable, good sound, fantastic range. Only minor drawback is the battery life but if you want to shell out for the Sennheiser rechargable pack that improves. I use these for on location video shoots where mobility is key and I never know how far away the talent might wander.

          I one of these wireless systems along side a couple of comparable Sony UWP systems, and I must admit that I do like the Sennheiser a bit more. The menu is simpler to navigate, and the unit feels a bit more sturdy. The sound quality is about the same, but if I had to buy another system tomorrow, I would go with this one over the Sony.

            Comments about Sennheiser EW112-p G3 Camera Mount Wireless Microphone System with ME2 Lavalier Mic (A / 516 - 558 MHz):

            I needed better audio than the built-in mic on the Canon XHA1 for video projects. I considered a condenser mic but thought a wireless lav would deliver better quality at longer distances. Although a bit pricey this kit is everything you need. I have to say the instructions were not very clear, but I figured everything out and was up and running in no time. I especially like the attachment that lets me mount it to a hotshoe. Note: this kit includes an XLR cable as well as a stereo cable which is very handy depending on what kind of camera you are using. Also note that the mic does not include a windscreen, but I haven't used it in windy conditions so I can't say whether one is needed or not.

I'm proud of my investment! Synopsis: High Fidelity, Long Range, and ABSOLUTELY NO STATIC!!!! Get these!

                          Wide range of frequencies;
                          Scans for clear channels;
                          The lav mic is of adequate quality for professional work;
                          Mounts securely on my camera shoe.
                          Secondary antenna assures good pickup.
                          Con: The Instruction book is not clearly written and not organized well. More effort to read the book than use the product.
                          Would have liked the ability to plug into receiver with a headphone.

                          All in all a robust, reliable system for professional use.

                            Was able to use within 5 minutes of opening package...easy to use. I primarily use this mic for interviews with Zoom H4n...works great!

                                We own two sets of the older model SW100G2's and we needed another set. They are used for mainly for weddings to mic the groom, officiant, podiums, etc. My initial impression of the new model is that it's as good as its predessor. Good battery life and decent frequency availability. Very solid construction but I think the new model is more plastic than metal compared to the prior model. The old ones have been in service with us for close to 6 years and are still going strong.

                                My only problem I have with the Sennheiser packs is their confusing menu. This was not fixed with the latest batch, in fact the display is even more confusing because it adds even more information. All I'd like to see on a display is battery remaining and the freqnency I'm using. The rest (so AF, RF info and the model number) are a waste of LCD space.
