LEKATO 2.4GHz Guitar Wireless System Audio Wireless Transmitter Receiver Rechargeable Wireless Guitar System with 4 Channels for Guitar Bass Electric Instruments Practise/Performance(WS-80)

2024 update: After 3 years of constant, almost everyday use, these now have drop outs - the sound will cut in and out. Sadly, I will have to throw these out now. They have been great. I will miss them.-------I didn't want this one to be the best because it is just 16 bit while the others were 24 bit. But after trying out all of the other systems (a mix of UHF, 5.8Ghz and 2.4Ghz systems), this one rose to the top.- This one had the best tone, so I guess the 16 bit vs 24 bit doesn't matter.- Lower hiss than many wireless systems- It is very close to sounding like my cable so I don't have to tweak my settings if i have to switch from wireless to cable in the middle of a gig.- sustains a note just like a wire does - all of the UHF systems I tried choked the sound off like a noise gate had been applied.- very quiet when plugging in or out hot - the best of the lot at this. So quiet, I wouldn't even worry about hot plugging as I would with the other systems or a cable.- It tells you which channel it is using and it is easy to switch if there is interference. In fact it was the best at switching channels with just a double tap on the pairing button on the transmitter - you don't even have to touch the receiver.- 8 to 9 hour battery life! We do play an outdoor gig that goes that long so that will be a great feature. Most of the others were about 4.5hrs which is fine for most gigs. But 8+ hours is a luxury.- The lights look cool.- The plug has great flexibility so it works on all my guitars really well whether the jack is on the face of the guitar, the side of the guitar, or recessed like on a strat.- the on/off switch is a slider switch so it does not break as easily as a button or accidentally turn on as a button does.- All these features, and it was $20 cheaper than the unit I liked second best, and $10 less than most of the rest. Great value.By the way, i also wrote reviews of the other units I tested telling why I returned them.The UHF units went back because they did not sustain notes like a wire does.The other 5.8Ghz systems and 2.4Ghz systems went back mostly because they just didn't have the complete package that this one does.But honestly, I probably could have gigged with any of them and been very happy.

I ordered this Lekato guitar wireless system just to see if it would be any good, and I’m just astounded that it works so well. I was about to say “for the money”, but I won’t. I remember around 20 years ago, trying a wireless system with my guitar which, as I recall, worked this well and cost undress of dollars…It sounds very good! I have not had the time to try to do an A-B comparison of the Lekato wireless vs cord, but to my ears, the fidelity is excellent, and I have used it with both an acoustic-electric classical guitar, and a Stratocaster. I’m also very satisfied with the range; although all I really want to do is eliminate some “cord clutter”, I have tried walking away from the amp, and I estimate I got about 60 feet away before the sound started to break up; and this was indoors with walls in the way.“Pairing” the receiver and transmitter is no problem at all, and the package includes the dual USB cable for charging both units simultaneously. The longest I’ve used them so far has been 2 ½ hours, so I have not been able to test the battery life, which they claim is 8 hours.I had decided to get another set of these, and got on Amazon to make another purchase, and was blown away to find the they just happened to be doing a 50% off special deal, so I wound up getting TWO more of these for the price of one. When they arrived, I immediately tried connecting two different guitars, each with its own wireless system. I paired up both receivers and transmitters, and they worked great; no interference between them.So, bottom line, I’m very happy with this purchase: very good quality guitar wireless system at a ridiculously reasonable price.

Update 05/2023: I've now used a Lekato pair for nearly two years now, as previously mentioned the charge release rate has reduced to about 4 hours. I do have to give some kudos though, originally, my first pair failed fairly quickly - I suspect that the wire through the hinge was the culprit. The seller promptly sent me a new set, that was pretty cool. I'll also say I use these almost exclusively at open mic nights, not only can I freely interact with the audience, I can also check the mix from different points in the room for adjustments. The pair have been reliable/durable, noise-free, and lag-free. I also carry a USB battery power bank with me, if I'm going to play for more than two hours, I usually plug the pair in for some extra charge when taking a break. Value wise, honestly - these can't be beaten, for the money, they compete well with far more expensive wireless systems for a one to one type of connection.---I've been using the LEKATO product for 6 months now, and it does perform very well, very little lag & good tone. For the price, really no complaints, it is a great value.After 6 months; I've noticed the battery discharge rate is increasing, that is... needs recharging more often. I could initially go about 8 hours on a charge... down to 5-6 now. If that pattern continues, then these will go into the trash in 12-14 months. If you are a bedroom noodler, this shouldn't be a problem - but if live performance is your thing, have some cables handy or some other back up solution.I'm writing this today because of an issue that I encountered; after testing this scenario many ways and looking into various specification, the problem is the LEKATO, not my setup. I recently acquired a Taylor T5z, it has discrete electronics that provide power to 3 pickups, known as their ES or Expression System. Taylors ES also has a balanced output, which is incompatible with the LEKATO un-balanced product. Not a real show stopper as I typically use passive PU's on my other guitars. However, I must cable the T5 to the amp, for those unaware, it is best to use a TRS cable for these types of balanced outputs.Simply put: owners of guitars with balanced outputs like the T5 will not work with the LEKATO, the amount of gain required to make the signal audible is ridiculous, and will produce more noise than guitar sound.

They work for my needs!
