This review is based on the experience after approximately 2 months of use (let's say 20 separate occations: 2 live events, 12 band rehearsals & 6 "playing at home...")
The product seems to work as intended, no problems with drop outs yet. Tested in a sold out small venue with ~100 people capacity, 2 active WiFi systems. I would have tested it during a bigger show at a slithly larger venue (~300-400 capacity) but there seems to seems to be some kind of battery issue with the receiver part, it refuses to get charge up, so I think I have to send it back for a replacement.
Pros:
- Comes with its own case that also is a power bank.
- Can be charged either directly or through the case.
- Easy to set up / start.
- Turns itself off (TX 10min, RX 20min) if you forget it on.
- Latency is low enough.
Cons:
- Would benefit from a separate "battery led". My biggest concern with battery dependant equipment is battery life/status. As it is now the same led is responsible for indicating connectivity, battery life, mute and "cable tone". It can get a little confusing, especially since the some colors are used for multiple things. And what if you're color blind? I'm not but...
Conclusion:
Seems to be a working product, my RX-part seems to have an issue with charging up might have to be replaced, but I must test it some more. The Nux C-5RC occupies some sort of sweet spot between cheap garbage and prohibitly expensive stuff (hobbyist). If lost or stolen I would probably consider buying it again.
