Comment: I thought that this mic would be exactly what I was looking for. After plugging this in I get a consistent hiss noise in the background. The wireless portion still works and you can hear the voices over the hiss, but I really don't want to deal with cleaning up a background noise like that. Needless to say, I'm returning mine.

Summary: Waste of money
Comment: I was extremely disappointed with this product; I felt very let down by Sony, because for years I bought Sony items with confidence, knowing that anything produced by them would be good and reliable. This item only goes to prove that Sony's standards have dropped and, as such I will use considerable caution when buying anthing else of theirs.
What lets this product down is the lack of distance one can be before the sound breaks up; 2 metres (not 45 metres as stated on the wrapping) was the best I could do, and that was in a straight line. No, all this item is fit for is the rubbish bin!

Summary: Pretty noisy reception...
Comment: Well, I guess the reviews about the RF noise was correct. I couldn't even get across the small distance from my living room to my dining room (no walls mind you) without a substantial amount of static noise. I am going to try a noise filter in Adobe Audition to see what I can salvage. But, the thought of using this mic for my niece's wedding, to mic the groom, is making me nervous. I don't have another cheap solution though. So, we'll see how it works for the job I purchased it for in about a month. I wanted this wireless mic to be better. Sorry, I can't speak too highly of it.

Summary: Awful
Comment: Crap. Doesn't work. Wanted to return it but had to go out of town and lost the time period. Plastic junk, never did get a good signal. The worst Sony item I've ever purchased -- and I'm a Sony fan. Will still attempt to return somehow. Don't even bother.

Summary: Sony WCS999 Wireless mic.
Comment: Unlike one other wireless mic, I have used, this one has never yet picked up fluorescent light noise. The battery economy for this mic. is quite good. The transmitter and receiver each use one size AA penlight cell, which seems to last at least 10 hours.
I suspect this microphone sometimes picks up cell phone interference from cell phones in the room, since I don't know what else would cause the rare rat-a-tat-tat noise that the receiver picks up. The best advantage of this microphone is that there are seldom any dead spots in the room where the receiver gets a weak signal.
