JOYO 5.8Ghz Wireless Guitar Transmitter and Receiver System with Charging Box 4 Signal Channel for Guitarist & Bass and Electric Instruments (JW-06)

Picked these up to save future embarrassment after managing to trip over my intrument-to-board cable at a gig, almost taking out one side of the PA in a potentially spectacular faceplant. On unboxing, the transmitter and receiver are pretty much identical but clearly marked to differentiate them, supplied in a foam insert which also contains a dual USB C charging cable so you're only taking up one port. Constructionally, they feel pretty lightweight although fairly solid and positive in action. The jack plug mounts to the main body via an extended plastic collar into the hinge, which feels like a weak spot but, in practice, seems sturdy enough. There is sufficient adjustment angle on the main body to leave it almost flush against the instrument which protecting the on/off switch against accidental activation. My pair came already paired out of the box. Operation is extremely simple. Press and hold each one for around 2 seconds to turn on or off. Press either/or once quickly to change channels - there are four available, colour coded blue, red, green and white. Changing channel on one device automatically switches it on the other. A neat touch. If you need to re-pair them, double tap immediately after turning on and they'll find each other if within range. There is a clear 4 segment battery indicator on the side of each which is thankfully not blinding or overly bright. Now, full disclosure; have yet to use this in a live setting yet. However it's been tested in a three storey Victorian house with hefty brick walls, and it's managed to maintain a solid signal over around an 8 metre range with two brick walls between the packs without dropouts or glitching, which is quite impressive. The sound quality is clear, dynamic and adds no perceptible noise whatsoever. Neither does it add anything in the way of top end zing. Basically, it sounds like a good quality lossless cable. It does not distort or overload with an 18V active instrument. JOYO claim a 6mS latency but I noticed no latency whatsoever, nor did I notice any compression artefacts or loss of dynamism. This is in an environment with numerous WiFi, Bluetooth and other radiating electronic devices, and I've experienced no interference at all so far. One minor gripe - although the jack plug fits positively into my instruments, it does have a tendency to swivel around in use. Not exactly acting like a propellor, but it could be obtrusive for some depending on your socket location and it's tension. After giving them a full recharge, I left them on/paired but unplugged, around 5 metres apart and both were down to the single red bar after approximately 5 hours and 45 mins. These are initial impressions, but positive ones - they'll be gigged for the first time in a few days after which I'll update this review, and also add any updates on longevity should those be needed.

I'm new to wireless. I never trusted it and liked the security of being plugged in with my trusty cables, in terms of disconnection, intermitency, dropping out, battery failing etc, I'm a sceptical dude. But as I got got signed back in August professionally I started gigging with more kit and now I find myself in a place getting wrapped around in tonnes of wires and cables between in ears and my guitar etc. And so I gave these a go for lower level gigs. For example I play at my local church in the UK when I'm visiting family and I'll use these there! Audience of about 1200, no drama if it goes wrong can plug cable in quick, yes it's live feed too but meh.. No damage done really. But that doesn't happen with these They're reliable and produce good quality sound, easy to use and I love the fact they are hinged and so function fit and look good! Only gripe I'd say is it slightly alters your attack, kinda like a noise gate set to a very low level. It's a MINOR adjustment, just pick slightly harder. It's honestly barely noticeable and for the benefit of these things it's totally worth doing. I'll still use cables at my 24k+ audience week gigs because it's drilled into me lol. Range I can't say... Who needs more than 20-30feet really? You don't.... It works in my home studio which is about 10 feet of walking space, works on stage with around 20 feet of walking space I actually use while playing at a maximum if I'm wandering around lol, but I'm usually at my pedal board anyways! Battery life I haven't ever played it long enough to find out! It lasts my practice time, recording time, and my performing time, so battery is clearly good and reliable. Don't know long it takes to fully charge but I'd guess a couple hours so if you're planning on relying on these I'd have at least two sets in your kit. And just have the cables on hand as well to be extra safe! Joyo has proved to me to be an excellent affordable brand, I honestly have no need to spend hundreds on this stuff because the result would be the same but at a higher cost... Why bother? Unless you just wanna show off and look cool with a fancy brand and be "that guy" lol. I actually bought a set of basically non brand ones on shein to see how they were purely out of curiosity and of course free return so..what's there to lose? ... And they were the same performance wise! Even cheaper than these, however didn't have hinges and so stick out blatantly which does make your guitar look very uncool lol.. And it blatantly obvious you're wireless which I don't like... But for home use or traveling they're fantastic!

I was sceptical about using wireless units for guitar as range, latency, tone, battery can all mess with the fun of just getting on and playing. The first thing I tried out was the range - I tried the Joyo all the way down my 27ft living room and through to the end of my 60ft garden - it worked flawlessly. I also haven't detected any noticeable latency. The battery life meets expectations and it has lasted so far for me a week's worth of playing a couple of hours a day. The tone is fine - it is worth noting that I have compensated on my amp a little to get the exact tone I'm used to from a standard cable. I think the unit brings out the treble frequencies a little, but that's easily tweaked with a slight adjustment of EQ. I've been using it on my youtube channel for making content and couldn't be happier as it makes practicing and playing for hours much easier - especially with my heavy Les Paul. I can now wander around the house which takes some of the strain off my body from being rooted to the spot and I can repeat riffs again and again until they're right. I'm very happy, not sure my wife is now I'm playing more! The Joyo is a great little wireless guitar unit. It's pretty cheap and I wished I'd just taken the plunge before - better late than never.

Early days using this. Easy to pair and change channels. Will see how well the rechargeable battery operates over time. Has USB C cable charging which was a plus factor.

So I bought these after performing on a larger stage than usual. I was restricted and I like to move around whilst im playing my bass. These are a game changer! No delay and a very reasonable price for the quality you get. I was able to perform better have less restriction have a guitar lead dragging behind me or getting in the way. Very easy to use, plug in and turn on and it connect. Size does not get in the way and the battery life is decent. Honestly such a great bit of kit. Cannot recommend these enough.

Bought these for a friend for Christmas but had to give them a try! Very nice, got a great and clear signal. Very easy to set up and get going and didn't take too long to charge. Sound was clear and I was a couple of meters from the amp, no drop in signal or any interference or anything like that, actually quite impressed and I'm considering buying myself a set now. Worth the money.

I was a bit worried that I had made the right choice in purchasing these as apposed to more expensive ones, but after reading previous reviews I went with it, and they were in an offer. The arrived well boxed with no surprises as to the size of the transmitter and receiver. They were already at 75% charge so was able to use them straight away. They paired without me doing anything so that was also a bonus!!! I do not notice any delay which was one thing I was worried about so very easy to jam along to a track. The quality is excellent. Highly recommend this wireless guitar system. I use them with my Bass guitar and Orange crush amp.

Brilliant wireless system for the price. I've been using mine for gigs and practicing for a couple of years now and it's still going! Really long battery life. Not the best signal distance but for roaming the stage and wandering into the first few rows it's been fine. If your looking at similar budget wireless systems I would recommend this one.
