Subject:
The best I've ever used.
Quality:
Amazing. Just blows me away.
Sound:
After years and hundreds of dollars searching for an acoustic guitar direct recording solution, I have finally found it. It sounds like my guitar, not like an acoustic with a pickup in it. But my guitar.Piezo's all sound the same to me, no matter what guitar they are in. This pickup actually sounds only as good as the guitar you put it in.
Reliability:
I've had it about 9 months now and never had a problem. Put it thru pretty regular usage and the battery hasn't even died yet.
Overall:
I love this pickup. It's truly amazing. Mine is wired into the L.R. Baggs iMix with the Baggs M1 passive, blending the two as I need them.
Playability and Feel:
N/A
Tone:
For finger picking the iBeam is amazing, for heavy strumming I do mix the two about 60/40. The iBeam by itself does tend to be a bit boomy when strummed hard.

Tone and crispness is excellent - true reproduction.
Reliability:
n/a - just got it!
Overall:
I just got this unit, installed it myself in my Martin Dreadnought and WOW - I can't believe how good it sounds! I've used a few different in - hole pickups and this unit far surpasses any of them - works better than I could have imagined.Installation was pretty easy although I did have to drill the hole larger in the rear saddle (rear strap peg ) but once drilled the rest was simple - HINT - use a phillips screwdriver to guide the unit into the rear hole - this will allow you to line up the unit with the hole.Also back out the inside nut pretty far so the unit will protrude out the back.
Playability and Feel:

Tone:
excellent tone - sounds like my guitar only amplified
