Are there any actual honest review online these days? Or is every review just somebody being paid to shill whatever product put in front of them?
I think in any situation where peoples livelihood depends on views to generate money and companies are furnishing them with free products theres a massive conflict of interest, but also in mainstream journalism its all about clickbait and corporate sponsorship driving the narrative, its hard to know what to believe these days!

Ain't that the truth.

Well, as an update I decided to get a cheapo UHF IEM system, through the US website as it was cheaper than Ali Express... Phenyx Pro PTM-10 IEM system. 20MHz of NZ legal bandwidth in UHF with 89 frequencies, and stereo. (I use mono, but handy if you want a second IEM mix to a 2nd receiver from the single transmitter.) Will update once I've had a decent hoon on it. :)

Update time.

Been using the PTM-10 IEM system 500MHz band for a few months now. Audio quality is acceptable, it loses a little bass, sounding slightly thinner compared to the cabled headphone amplifier. However, it's not bad for analogue wireless audio. There is little compander hiss and its obviously running a noise gate. Of course these minor details one notices in a quiet room, are completely forgotten when playing live with the band. No discernable latency, no reception issues no distractions. I forget I'm using it and get to enjoy making music. The included earbuds are crap, I'm using my SE215s. Now that I've used this a few times, I'm happy with it.

Pros: NZ legal frequncies, easy to use, no latency, handy carry case, good signal, decent durability, price
Cons: slight loss of audio quality
