I had these for about a week before I sent them back. At the time, I purchased them for $300, even at this price point I don't recommend them.

The range is awful and you will constantly have issues with clips. Every time you take them out of your bag they will be turned on. The power button is in a bad spot and really sensitive. They sound good when they work, but are too unreliable to use in a professional setting.

I went with the Sennheiser xsw-d after and was pretty happy. Good range, reliable and no clips. The dr10l is nice too for a non wireless option.

I've been using the rode go system for the past month and I'm blown away for the first time in a long time with rode. not as good range compared to the senns, but the features, portability, ease of use outweigh the disadvantages and I plan on switching my lav setup to rode go system by next month.

The new rode videomic ntg is crazy good too. I used to not like rode products for a while and after this last release of products I'm switching to them for my lav and shotgun run / gun setup.

edit: the recommendations above are for weddings and interviews. batteries on the rode wireless go mics last 5 to 6 hours.
