TRBboy Posted November 16 Posted November 16 Hi folks! 👋😊 My 16 y/o son has asked for a wireless system for Christmas. He only plays with his pals at school, so doesn't need anything Gucci, but equally I want to get him something that actually works. Is there much to choose between the likes of Lekato, Joyo, etc, or is it just a case of looking at reviews on Amazon and going for it? Thanks! Quote
bertbass Posted November 16 Posted November 16 The Lekato ones are quite good. My guitars and vocalist all use them although the vocal one does drop out on some gigs but I suspect that it's because it's 2.4GHZ and not 5.8 GHZ. I use a Line 6 wireless which has been faultless but uses AA batteries rather that recharge the transmitter and receiver with a USB charger like the Lekato. 1 Quote
NHM Posted November 16 Posted November 16 I bought the M-Vave WP-5G system which was ridiculously cheap (around £30 IIRC) and it has been really solid. 1 Quote
neepheid Posted November 16 Posted November 16 I've been using a Lekato WS-70 UHF system for a year and a half now (well, two really, safety net if I forget to charge a set during a double gig weekend as I'm bound to do now and again). They have never let me down, the only time I've ever had dropouts is when I've pushed the range a bit too much (usually because I've gone round a corner on a walkabout or something daft). They're compact, sound good to my cloth ears and I've never felt the need to look around for anything better. 2 Quote
neepheid Posted November 16 Posted November 16 Additional - I've just bought a third set - we've got a gig coming up which is a right PITA to PA - wide open space, speakers nowhere near the desk, punters entrance/exit to the main door and the bogs is on the cable paths - spend most of the time sticking cables down with gaffer tape - F that! So we're going to use these doodads to connect the speakers to the desk, leaving a set spare for me to continue to do walkabouts and terrorise/amaze the punters. I've bought these from eBay and Amazon before, but this time I went straight to Lekato - https://lekatodeal.com/en-uk/products/lekato-ws-70-wireless-guitar-audio-system-transmitter-receiver-70-channels-40m and right now they're having some Black Friday nonsense - got 25% off so an already very reasonable £41 became an even more agreeable £30.75. Free shipping. Coming from abroad though, so perhaps the taxman will wipe the grin off my face and take that discount right back off of me, but you never know! 2 Quote
Elfrasho Posted November 16 Posted November 16 I've got the Harley Benton AirBorne, £44 (although you'd need to pay £10 delivery unless you can spend over £150). Works flawlessly, and the battery is great. Lovely wee case too. They do feel a touch flimsy but ive had them for a while and they're still going strong! 2 Quote
Len_derby Posted November 16 Posted November 16 Lekato for me. Had them for a year and have been fine for the weekend warrior/pub covers band level that I infest. 1 Quote
tauzero Posted November 16 Posted November 16 I've got the Lekato WS-90 and the M-Vave WP-5G. Both work well, and I'm pretty sure they're identical - I have connected the transmitter of one to the receiver of the other successfully. 1 Quote
