Best Wireless Guitar Systems

Going cable-free can be difficult. With the Boss WL-20L, the task is anything but difficult. Purchasing this system, you can wave cable management woes goodbye. Docking the transmitter and receiver together (wait about 10 seconds) is all that's required with this system to automatically set an optimum connection. In other words, plug and play, removing complicated setup, tone loss, and bulky adds-ons from the equation. When you dock them, the integrated batteries inside the transmitter and receiver can be charged together via standard USB adaptors (5 V/500 mAh or more) that you charge smartphones/tablets with. Of course, you can also charge them separately.

Hanging with the Boss WL bunch, this system is almost indistinguishable from the WL-20 model aside from cable tone simulation that the subject system eliminates. With this approach, the WL-20L will be at its best working with instruments where cable capacitance has limited or no effect on the tone (like acoustic or electric guitars with an onboard preamp or line-level devices like keytars and digital wind instruments. What's more, the model is awesome with passive pickups, assuming that you do not require the subtle treble roll-off that cable tone simulation can provide.

The Xvive U2 Wireless Rechargeable Guitar System lets you ditch cables and make the rig look nice and clean, not unlike its competition. What the model's competition is seldom bringing to the table though is the H1 transmitter holder, making sure that the system is always compatible with guitar jacks. Distancing the transmitter from the battery in the guitar, the holder also solves high-frequency noise problems that active pickups sometimes entail.

From the get-go, this system is promising awesome audio quality and almost undetectable latency (5 milliseconds). From what we can tell, the system fulfills the promise to a tee, removing drop-out and working without noise or delay, almost like you're using cables, except that you aren't.

Unboxing the package, the first thing you'll notice is that both the transmitter and the receiver look and feel sturdy and well-made, primarily from ABS plastic. The swivel mechanism on the plugs is stiff but not too stiff, meaning that pivoting the system into position will be easy but, once you do that, the plug will stay where you put it. To prevent scratches, there's also soft rubber padding on the back.

On one side, you will find a power switch, the channel-change button, and two LEDs. The first LED displays the battery status and lets you know when the system is on and off. The second LED shows you the channel you're using and whether the two units have been synched.

The Getaria GWS-8 is a decent system that will accommodate beginners but not always the more experienced guitarists. The signal that both the transmitter and the receiver are offering is strong, enabling interference-free sound. But, at extreme volume and frequency limits, the noise becomes noticeable. Faint, but noticeable. Also, the model cannot promise latency below 12 milliseconds, so the delay will also be faint but noticeable.

That being said, aside from extreme cases, the sound will usually be transferred without substantial lag, remaining crisp even when you start playing complex compositions incorporating hard riffs as well as multiple variations. There's no tone or detail loss. The highs that are transferred through this system remain sharp, while the lows are as solid and creeping as they should be. Generally speaking, the music will sound full and accurate, with a good tonal balance that you normally get from cables. To add more, with the dynamic range exceeding 105 decibels, you can play at the maximum volume without quality loss.

Build-wise, both devices are pocket-sized, enabling comfortable transportation. They're made primarily from food-grade plastic, making the system pretty tough as well. What's more, the heads can be rotated 180 degrees, offering easy maneuvering. Both the transmitter and the receiver come equipped with 1100-mAh rechargeable batteries, so they should usually last at least 8 hours on a single charge.

The Mefe MF-5G Wireless Guitar System will be appreciated by newbies and professional players alike. Offering high-quality sound transmission, solid 'throw' distance, as well as above-average battery life, this is not the system that you can take for granted.

Sure, output plugs are not great here. To elaborate, some guitars will not always be able to accommodate the entire jack, leaving the receiver basically flapping around the guitar. With the transmitter protruding behind the edge of the guitar, there's an actual risk that you might hit it against the leg and unplug. Nevertheless, considering the model's specs, we can forgive the subpar jacks.

First and foremost, these specs include both devices (the transmitter and the receiver) acting on the 5.8 GHz band, meaning that most interference sources will not be able to interfere with the signal. More than that, you can choose between 4 working channels, ensuring noise-free signal passthrough.

As you would expect, the system is able to capture the full signal within the standard 20 Hz – 20 kHz range, so that the sound coming from the amp is always well-composed, crisp, and sharp. Generally speaking, there's no noticeable distortion or deviation. The overall harmonical composition's usually transmitted with precision. The highs remain clean, consistent, and well-balanced, the mids come out expansive, detailed, and dynamic, the lows always have noticeable separation, and the bass output has respectable impact and above-average extension. All that being said, there's a slight tone coloration, but nothing that interferes with the overall output.

Solid working distance, high dynamic range, and extended frequency response are the reasons why professionals hold this wireless guitar system from Ammoon in the highest regard. That being said, the system fits amateurs about as much as pros. We could have even called this model the best wireless guitar system on the market today but, with sustained notes featuring some digital interference, especially at low volume, the output feels and sounds a little compressed, so no dice, not quite. Nevertheless, this is one awesome system.

To start with, the model's tuned to work on the 5.8 GHz band, contributing the least affected signal transmission. Sure, with Wi-Fi routers sitting close to the set, you might feel a slight buzz, but the sound will not be distorted via nearby radio waves or mobile connections. Furthermore, the system stretches the transmission range above 100 feet, so you're free to move around while playing. When you face an occasional interference issue, you can switch between the 4 channels that the system maintains.

From the performance perspective, the system converts the sound into 24-bit resolution waves on 48 kHz frequency, making the output crisp and clean. What is more, owing to the maintained frequency reaching 22 kHz, the model ensures non-screaming consistent highs. While this is happening, the bass comes out full and punchy, with the cleanest dynamic thump that wireless systems can provide, enabling a crisp output. The maintained frequency range reaches 22 kHz providing non-screaming consistent highs. Wrapping the performance subject, with the dynamic range limited at considerable 110 decibels, the system offers a pretty detailed sound flow on high volumes without introducing drop-outs or squelching issues.
