MEI 1000 G2 : You get what you pay for

For a reasonable price you get a pretty solid IEM system. I bought this system for live use with my band. If you are coming from floor wedges, this is definitely an upgrade in any circumstance. However, it does not beat the high end models, which I will get into shortly.

The build quality is good and does not feel flimsy. The EQ boost to raise the lows and the highs is also nice to have. Navigating the channels and frequencies is cumbersome, there is no clear explanation to what frequencies the channels correspond.

As far as audio quality goes, it's ok. There is low volume noise, which is only noticeable when it's quiet and nothing is being played. The lows and highs are rolled off, which can be boosted by the built in EQ of the receiver pack. I transmitted a regular MP3 for testing and there is a definite loss of quality. Does it bother me live? Not at all.

If you are looking to step into the realm of IEMs, this is definitely a good budget system to start with!
