I'm very pleased with this product. I just got it for armature film productions, and it's a great buy for non-professionals. I wouldn't recommend this if you are a professional sound studio, but for everyone else (i.e. hobbies, churches, etc.), it's great.
The base:
The receiver is constructed in an aluminum box, includes a rack-mount kit, and looks very professional. It has four knobs to independently adjust the level of each mic. It has a very clean output line with a very faint hiss. A mixer with a low-pass filter would probably take that out. There are five outputs on the back. 4 are for the individual mics (so you can run them independently into your mixer) and the last one has the sound from all the mics combined. This one output has more noise than the individual mic outputs, so I would recommend running each mic output into a mixer. Again, it's not much noise, but there's still some. Better than another, more expensive mic set I bought locally.
The transmitters:
The only reason I gave this product 4 instead of 5 stars is the fact that these transmitter cases look really cheap. They're perfectly operational, but they're not top-quality. Each transmitter operates on a different frequency and really don't seem to interfere with each other. They all contain an LED (different color on each transmitter), switch, 1/8" mono mic connector (screw-in), and a volume adjustment knob.
The mics:
The clip-on mics look very professional. They have a fairly big pop-screen and a nice clip. The connector screws into the transmitter.
The headset mics are not so nice. Basically, they look like the cheapest headsets money can buy with an ok mic. Again, that's just looks. They work fine and are comfortable.
Overall, I'm quit pleased with this set for the price. You wouldn't want to use them in a professional recording studio, but they're great for every other application. I would give it 4 and 1/2 if I could, but Amazon doesn't let you rate in half-stars :-)

Edit: After playing around with this a bit more, I've decided it really deserves 5 stars. Amazon won't let me change my rating, though.
