LEKATO Wireless Guitar System UHF Guitar Wireless Transmitter Receiver Rechargeable Audio Wireless Transmitter and Receiver with 70 Channels Wireless for Electric Instruments (Pink)

When I purchased these I was in a bind. I was set to play somewhere unique, and using a guitar cord/cable would be a difficult thing. The plan was for the musicians to move around, even off the stage, and I didn't like the idea of dragging a long cable around with me. I looked into cordless options before, but they were pretty expensive at the time, so I shelved the idea. Fast forward to this new situation. I decided to look into the cordless options again, and there's still some expensive one's, but not as expensive as they used to be. I went back and forth, about how much I should spend, trying to decide if I could even trust the technology to provide a clear, uninterrupted signal. I should add that I didn't, and never have had a lot of money to spend. After reading a ton of reviews, and technical specs, I decided to try these. I figured that I could take a guitar cord with me just in case, but, as it turned out, I didn't need to use the cord. This wireless receiver and transmitter worked flawlessly, and the internal, rechargeable batteries lasted longer than expected. A lot longer.I'd planned on doing a Pepsi challenge, with these versus a cord, but it would be like comparing Pepsi to toilet water. Not that I'd ever drank toilet water, but I can't imagine liking it better than Pepsi. If you're looking for a wireless option for your instrument, and you want something that's reliable, without sacrificing sound, you should give these a try. They're affordable, and they work great. I doubt I'll ever use a guitar cord again.

This review will cover the following: Active pickups, Tone, sustain, noise, and audio waveforms.First things first: the LEKATO WS-70 works with active pickups.I have no issues using this wireless system with my guitar equipped with Seymour Duncan Blackout Active pickups w/ an Energizer Lithium 9V battery.Second thing: there is an audible TONE difference between the WS-70 and a guitar cable.The WS-70 has less top end (tone/brightness) than my Mogami Gold instrument cable and my cheap Chinese made cable that ships with [some] guitars. This is not a bad thing at all; I actually prefer the WS-70's tone compared to my Mogami. The WS-70 sounds less shrill/ear-piercing in the treble spectrum while the Mogami does sound harsh.I suppose (educated guess) the LEKATO doesn't reproduce the higher treble frequencies the same as a cable. Overall, it sounds great in comparison with a cable; you can always adjust your preamp settings to account for any treble frequencies lost using this wireless system.Third: Sustain.There is audibly less sustain from the WS-70 in comparison to a cable; about a second less in my case. Not a big deal.Fourth: Noise.My Mogami Gold Instrument cable produces 60's cycle hum & hiss with my Hughes & Kettner Grandmeister Deluxe 40 Tube Amp. The LEKATO WS-70 does not produce 60's cycle hum at all, just hiss. It is significantly less noisy in comparison to a cable. As for the hiss, it can be removed with a noise gate.Fifth and lastly: Audio Waveforms.When recording into a DAW, the waveform of a cable is dynamic with peaks. The waveform of the WS-70 is more linear/smooth with no peaks. Is this compression? I'm not sure. Take this information with a grain of salt.Overall, the WS-70 is a great sounding system, and I would buy it again especially at its current price. Want to know about battery life, reliability and range? Check out the other reviews for that. I literally wrote this review after two hours of owning this system. O_o

The good - These work well, with good signal and are not prone to interference, as they operate in the UHF signal band, in the 900 mHz range. So you don't get interference from cell phones and WiFi access points like you do with all the 2.4 gHz wireless sets. Battery life is good, and they are super simple to use - just turn them on and they work.The bad - the sound quality is acceptable, but it does produce a weird gated sound, that other reviewers have noticed. It sounds like it has an inherent noise gate that is always on. Its not a total deal breaker, but it is noticeable enough that I would not use this set for an actual live show. It's good enough for band rehearsal or solo practice at home, however. That's what I'll be using them for. Also the manual that comes with it is terrible, written in barely understandable Chinglish. So if I ever needed to change the frequency Group on them, I'm not totally sure how to do that and the manual certainly doesn't explain it in any understandable way.Overall, I would give them a solid B minus grade.

Granted thee are not your gigging type of wireless interfaces but for practice/jamming, these work great. Got $10 off too so only paid $34 shipped (they often offer coupons so check/check it off). Simpl operation (just turn both on and witin seconds they connect to each other and LEDs are solid green, otherwise they blink, trying to connect). Sounds nice, but I do think the tone is compromised slightly as well as slight compression (just how they work, like others). My only issue with them is occasionally, you will hear a small pop/crackle fro the devices... possibly interference or something (not a range thing as they are always within 10 feet from each other). Still decent way to go wireless if that is what you are looking for.
