Hey Robert, great review! It's pretty incredible that it picks up a signal from such a stupid distance away! I guess mileage varies from system to system. I have a a cheap Joyo set and I find it acts more as it's own noise suppressor, as if it's cutting off the weakest inputs. Great for plugging into an amp, but into a modeler I find it lacks punch.
Approaching $100 I would splurge for a line 6 g10. Amazon sells a few different cheap ones for 40 bucks. They are great for playing around the house but I wouldn't trust it in a live situation. I got the Getaria one.
I borrowed a Nady wireless system at my first-show in 1986. I had to set the receiver 3-feet away and a foot above my amp for it to work correctly. It worked for the whole set, but I was a bit nervous. Wireless has come a long way.
I like wireless but mostly just use it around the house. I got pretty tired of dumb stuff breaking so i currently have the boss pedal type thing. Its pretty good but before any low batt lights show up it gets noisy and i have to charge it and the static goes away. Idk if youve put a full charge on those or not
Unfortunately most of those mini wireless devices are spinning around in the input jack. That's why I got me a pouch for the guitar strap with an extended cable. Btw I tested the Mii device too and did not get the static noise. Sent it back anyway though.
i find alot of wireless systems have a hiss when your by any computer. i bought a cheap joyo system works good... but cable ro me sounded way better not sure why??? maybe you can explain that. ty robert good review. ty sir.
I second the reccomendations on the JOYO wireless, a tight fit and quiet. Qualities desired in many mechanical devices. That Mii is twice the size of the JOYO too. I can imagine working in their warehouse going "he's going to say its noisy as hell and fits loose as a goose but go ahead and send it!"
Through the years, playing on big and small venues, I used samson and shure wireless systems But now i use all the time my super simple lekato 5.8 wireless plugs It is super reliable and easy to carry it everywhere Best part? Costed me $50
I still have my Shure PG that I got decades ago from GC that works great. I prefer a wireless pack so I can run it to my strap. I've never found the little all-in-one packs to be good. They either fit too tight, not tight enough, don't go into some guitars with weird routes... It's just best to have one that uses a regular wire. That said, Good video with an honest review. Too bad they're junk.
I have a couple sets from other brands that work well enough for around the house, but those things look enormous and heavy. I wonder if changing the channel on the systems would fix the noise problem.
Lol, I understand the need for cleaner playing area where you wont kill yourself by tripping over instrument cables. Annnd I hate this word, BUT no one needs a wireless system in a small home studio or a small gig area. But its never about need its always about the want and the LCF (look cool factor).
I've been gigging with a cheap Swiff wireless. I haven't had any issues but my bass player bought one and broke it. I'm going to upgrade to something better
I think you’re the guy that recommended the super cheap Joyo system. It’s great! I use it all the time including playing out. Never had a single issue with it.
Yeah the joyo is awesome. I plugged one in my mouth the other in @$$. I had bad breath for a week. Of course that may be bc I was asked to recreate the scenario again and I'm pretty sure I lost that 50/50...😮
At the end of the day, they’re the same thing. I wouldn’t spend a dime on either one of them. Spend a little more and get a Shure GLX-D or BLX wireless system, Line 6 Relay, or even the Sennheiser XSW 1 or XSW 2.
"hello, police? yes. there's a bald guy outside my bathroom window looking in at me playing his guitar" LMAO jk! liked the demo. wireless systems have gotten a lot better and more affordable in the last 25+ years. i just don't wanna cut the cord again; just too much aggravation if/ when things go wrong. they're nice until you have a spinal tap moment LOL!
hmmm....I am interested in something like that, but in my studio/office 10-12 foot is just enough to cover the room :p... I wouldn't mind that for Christmas...anyone? hello?.... :) (that's for my family)
This is what I’m using as well and it works beautifully, no latencies that I can detect, no noise and it sits nicely in the socket so it’s not spinning around like the one Robert is reviewing here.
@@TommySG1 The only issue I have is my Ibanez S model. It won’t fit the recessed socket. It’s one of 40 guitars and I rarely play it though so it doesn’t bother me. lol

No wireless, can't beat a good cable. No noise, full bandwidth and always reliable. Great vid and channel man. Keep it coming

Thanks for the honest always review keep up the great work
Still have a trantec wireless system and it works a treat I also have the joyo and love that, brilliant

Did you remember to return the lawnmower you borrowed from ol' Doc Farnsworth ?
You know how angry he gets,
the crazy old coot.
Boss makes the best wireless system.

Mom. There is a strange man walking down the street playing guitar.

Just before 8 minutes made me think of frogger

I have a question. What's better? Lekato ws80 or 1mii. Thx for reply.

5.8ghz can't have the same reach as 2.4 because physics, but it might be a great solution for players with too much traffic in the 2.4ghz range.
I have the joyo version of this and I get noise when in the same room as my tv. Perhaps some of the electronics in the room are causing it.
I've seen them but never used them. I must be missing out on something.
Nope, you’re not. Trust me. LOL
We should start a marching band...I'm done now

Noise really blows

I have an XVIVE. It cost but works well. Guess it was worth what it cost. It’s better than that thing. 😉

Wow, now I’m curious as to what that jack socket looks like 😂
2 weeks later they are 50$ on amazon, i guess if it sucks sell it cheap😂
I would not spend the money for that system .
fI can see what you are saying . This product is shit. Yoi agree
