How heavy are these receivers compared to the old Tritronics Sport Basic?

To me they don't feel heavy at all, I have two very active 80- pound dogs and they don't seem to notice them at all when they're wearing them.if you roll the receiver/collar up it'll fit in the palm of your hand

I have not used the Tritronics collar, but I can tell you that we sue the Dogtra with our two year-old male Lab, who weighs roughly 80 pounds. The collar weight simply has not been an issue from the first time I put it on him. And it is remarkably water-resistant, which is a must for our guy, who swims every single day.

I am not sure the manufacturer, most would be 300 lbs ( because it is 2 inch receiver) mine has handled that with ease

Not terribly sure, I mounted them on my bike without weighing them. I'd say they're not overly heavy. They do ride well, although they do make a sound on smooth pavement.

They're more like reference headphones so they're going to give you a fairly flat response. I wouldn't say they're particularly bass heavy. Which for me is a good thing because I use them for monitoring sound for video production work, but may not be a good thing if you like that sort of thing.

Yes, these are an upgrade. Cable is reinforced with Kevlar, so it's much sturdier. I think the bass is a little better also.

I used them on the drift trikes i build. I weigh 220 and have no issues with them. Very light weight design but have no issues

My receiver failed on the 2nd attempt at use so I returned them. They did not feel substantial either...very light. I would look elsewhere, especially for that distance.

Hardly any difference to the weight of wired headphones. The bennifits of not being wired to my phone outways the minor extra weight.

Nope, same bulky receiver!I managed to fit regardless; sometimes you just have to cram it into what space you can.

I never weighed it but it Isn't heavy. It is not a transistor radio but it weighs about what a table top radio should weigh. It sounds Great, is shock protected by design, I keep it in my wood shop & the saw dust doesn't seem to bother it. We went to a drive in movie & the kids wanted to sit in the back of the pickup so I took my Toughbox & it worked Great! I would buy it again - I have had no second thoughts - I wish I had bought it sooner.

I'm running the stock receiver in my team associated SC10 with no issues. I'm also running a 87t spur gear with a 16t pinion gear. I suggest using a 2s lipo. Anything bigger and the truck gets out of control. I still am hitting over 50km. Perfect for dirt track racing. I hope that this helps. CHEERS!!!

Thanks for the info. I ordered the unit and have owned it for about a week now. Appears to be a very good receiver.

I'm using my stands with Polk LSiM703 which are almost exactly 30lbs. I'm very happy with the stands.

It weights almost 50 lbs. I rather spend little more money on the Mackey 450RS which is lighter and sound way better. I owned both of them for my daughter weekly gigs.

They're probably less in weight than a standard car alarm remote. They are rather big looking...but they do have a sturdy light hollow feel to them

I have a 7.1 receiver with 75 watts RMS per channel that works fine and has plenty of volume. These are base reflex (unsealed) speakers which are more efficient vs acoustic suspension speakers (sealed).

Check out Lindich "On Sound". He is syndicated in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and the Minneapolis Star newspaper. He also has a blog with the same name. He rates both of these receivers with pros and cons.
