The Azden set is about 1.5 times the price of the

Sony here, and it serves fairly well. If you are in

an area free of cel-phones and other wireless gear,

it may serve well, as it did for me for several years.

BTW, Azden also makes a diversity model (2-channel,

auto-switching between for best signal).
