I am looking for a high quality wireless mic unit that I can use at gigs but I have no idea where to start. I think Sennheiser makes one but I'm not sure what are considered the better models. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I personally like the Shure SLX or ULX beta 87. It all depend which microphone is work best for your voice.

Beta 87
The Beta 87 is very nice, but a bit hard on the wallet.

THE standard in high end wireless is still the Shure U series, but they are pricey. If you want the best, that has been it for some time. This is changing, though, as more and more companies start using the Audio-Technica 5000 series. You will not be unhappy with either, though many guys I know and respect are saying the mics on the 5000 sound a bit better.
I, for certain, would NEVER spec anything less on a rider, if I had to use wireless mics. (They are such a pain in the ass.)

If you need to stay under $1000 per channel I would not look at anything besides Shure wireless systems. Mostly because of the stable transmitters and recievers, pretty decent sound quality, and the durability. Personally, I would look into the Shure UC series with a standard 58 for starters. I would reccomend against the PG series due to the plastic casings. If you are going to be hauling it around, inevitably it will have a minor accident. Plastic will often break on the first incident, while metal may live through a dozen small incidents. Its amazing how frustrating a broken battery cover or belt clip can be when dealing with wireless mics.

Thanks guys, I'd been leaning toward the Shure U-Series but I wanted to make sure that I was on the right track. Thanks for the words of wisdom.

The U series is great, but do give a try to the AT 5000 series.

I've had pretty good luck with Sennheiser.
Better yet, the receiver is in a steel case and the rig is still made in the USA!!
Don't fall for the cheap stuff, though - it can be like a bad walkie talkie - an expensive paperweight. The Sennheiser UHF dual frequency system is about $500 per channel. Pretty good value.
