5.8GHz Wireless Guitar System Rechargeable Audio Guitar System Wireless Digital Transmitter Receiver Set for Electric Guitar Bass (Silver Black)

I'm a big fan of wireless systems like this in general. If you are still standing up and stepping on your instrument cable then you'll also be a fan once you switch over. Probably the hard part is figuring out which of the many systems and different price points works best for your situation. I won't claim to have that answer for you but what I can say is that for my needs...which are pretty basic...practice and playing in my home 'studio', alone, and doing some limited digital recording using garageband...these are fine. This is my 2nd set of these...the first time around I went with the more expensive xVive setup. It worked great for about a year, then the batteries life started to slowly reduce and by the time we hit 18 months it was basically unuseable. While I liked the form factor with the xVives and have nothing bad to say about the sound quality, I think $150 is a crazy amount to spend for 18 months...so I contacted their customer support and they offered me a small discount on a new set. I said 'no thanks' because it was still a crazy price for something that lasts 18 months...maybe a bit longer if you get lucky. So this time around I picked up this Getaria solution. Battery life is great...I play a few hours a day and only recharge them every couple of days when I think about it. Sound quality is very similar to the xVive. To me it's the same but I can't honestly say I was able to do a side by side in a perfect environment. But for practicing at home it's certainly more than good enough for me (I've been playing 8 years and consider myself intermediate +). The form factor is probably the biggest difference and the somewhat larger units are less convenient (don't tuck in quite as well on a strat, stick out a bit further on a LP) but not a show stopper. Given a choice of these at $60 or xVive at $150, I'm happy with my choice. I've had these a couple months now and would buy them again based on my experience so far.

I plugged the devices in to charge. I tried them out after 30 minutes. They work well. I waited a day. Played with them in and did a test walking through my house while playing, 30- 40 feet away through 3 walls, or 2 rooms away. All fine. I do not smash or trash my guitars so they do not get abused. I cannot afford more than 1 335 so I play without rock poses. Yes you could break them if you are just an ape with an axe. It is nice to be rid of a 15 foot cord when playing, rehearsing and recording. I played for 2 hours straight on a full charge and had juice left over. I usually dont do marathon jams over 2 hours so I could squeeze a short booster charge if needed at a break. I am happy because I only spent 70$ and not 200 or more. The product does what it is supposed to do and the time claim and the distance claims appear to have been accurate. I leave the little foam rings on the jacks as well. I run through a 5 pedal board and have noticed no loss or delay, maybe because I use delay anyway! If you are like Pete Townsend, then buy something else made of metal. They are plastic, dont drop them or your guitar. Maxx Black on soundcloud.com

I'm a home-studio player, never more than 10 feet away from the receiver. My room setup is one that has me plugging & unplugging my guitar every time I pick it up. If I reconfigured my studio so that I could always leave it plugged in using a wired cord, I'd probably just leave it that way. But as it stands...I bought the 2.4Ghz first, and liked it, except I got a fair amount of audio dropouts, even at a very short distance. I figure it's the wifi, phones, etc. that was giving the 2.4Ghz trouble. So for $20 or so more I thought I'd try this one (5G) and so far it's much better with no audio dropouts.Pros:- I really do like not having a cord. It's surprisingly liberating to not have that underfoot.- I don't notice any latency or signal level loss. If there is any, it's not enough for me to notice at all. In fact other than having no cable underfoot, I forget it's wireless.- Solid wireless connection so far.- Turning on & off the transmitter and receiver every time I want to use it, is no worse than plugging in & unplugging my guitar the way I was doing it. If you're used to leaving your guitar plugged in all the time, this might get annoying, but I don't mind it so far. And I haven't forgotten to turn them off yet. But to preserve the battery, this has to be done.Cons:- It's a bit bigger and feels a little clunkier than the 2.4Ghz.- Being bigger, I notice the cheaper/plasticy build a bit more.- With a strat-style angled jack plate and a Floyd Rose (like an EVH Frankie), there is no way to configure this so that the term arm swings freely. Unless you use your term arm in a stiff configuration where gravity doesn't pull it down, it IS going to hit this transmitter. I didn't try the 2.4Ghz version in this type of guitar, so not sure if that's the same.Something I wish it had was a third position on the power switch, which lets the units go to standby after say 5 minutes of no signal, and then wake up once there is signal again. A gigging musician might not want this mode, but for us home users, this would be a nice convenience that wouldn't be a show-stopper.Long term - we'll have to see. All this just to not have a cord underfoot... But I gotta say I do not miss the cord... yet...

I've now used this system for several gigs, one lasting over four hours. I use it between my PRS guitar and a multi-effects box from which I run a cable to my amp. No problems at all with reception or battery life. Sound quality is good though I think the signal is a little more compressed than when I play through a good cable. That said, I get used to it on the gig quickly and the convenience is worth it. It was a snap to use right out of the box. Build quality is decent though if I was touring I'd be more concerned. But for this weekend warrior, it's a great system for the money.
