Zero noticeable delay and I love the physical power switch

I bought this wireless system along with several pedals while rebuilding my guitar pedalboard, and it may be my favorite part of the upgrade. I’m running the receiver directly into the first pedal on my board and using the transmitter on the guitar.

So far it has worked flawlessly. I can’t perceive any delay at all compared with using a cable, and the signal has been clean and reliable.

One small feature I really appreciate is the physical on/off switch. With rechargeable wireless accessories, I’m always wondering whether something is actually off or quietly draining the battery when I leave it attached. With this, I can physically switch it off and know it’s off without removing it from the guitar.

Easy setup, clean signal, no noticeable latency, and one less cable running across the floor. Exactly what I wanted.

Great option to have less wires!

I wasn't sure if this was going to work the way I was thinking it would. But glad it did work as a wireless transmitter. No one likes long wires, so having the ability to have a wireless option is always a great value!

Simple plug and play. The transmitter goes into the instrument and the receiver goes into the amp. Turn them both on and jam out wire and clutter free!

They're rechargeable which is great and they're pretty compact so small form factor for your traveling needs.

As far as I can tell, the sound sounds just as good as the wired option did.

Works well, sounds good and is easy to use.

Product came well packaged and documented. Very easy to use, compact and sounds good with good range. Product came complete with one transmitter, one receiver, one dual usb-c end charging cable (usb-a on charger end) and an instruction sheet. Battery capacity/duration is good.

Cost effective wireless guitar cable.

This is a well-priced wireless guitar cable.

Audio quality is fine and the range is good for direct line-of-sight.

It's nice that the system uses 5.8GHz, which is a lot less crowded than 2.4Ghz.

It is simple enough to operate. Powering on both ends causes them to pair within 2-3 seconds. There is also a way to manually move channels if needed.

They include a 2-headed USB A to C cable. Which is nice, so that both ends can be charged at the same time.

The battery life holds up quite well even when not in use. It can even be used while powered on both ends, if needed.

The build quality is decent. In transport, I would use a hard case so that it doesn't get damaged. The box it comes in will do a good job.

The range of motion on the connector is nice, so that it can fit into recessed connectors.

Flatson 5.8GHz Wireless Guitar System

I've been through a lot of wireless systems for guitar and this so far is one of the best I've tried. Great battery life, no drop outs at all, doesn't effect my tone at all, and no latency that I can detect. The wireless range is great too, now I'm not one to go very far with my wireless but some of the cheap one won't even work across my living room but this one does without any signal loss or degradation. These also have a battery saver so the shut off after 10 min's or so, you have to switch them off then back on the power them back up. The swivel plugs work really well too with great swivel range. I also love that these are 5.8GHz so there is less interference.

Excellent value.

Wireless Convenience!

This is a pretty decent wireless system and, I have to say, it represents a fantastic value at this price point. All that considered, for my usage, there is something of a compromise going on here.

I’m currently using an Epiphone ES-355 style guitar. My style is mostly based in jazz, although I do work in other music genres depending on what I’m asked to do. Because of that, I’ve worked with mostly clean tones and zero effects (apart from amp reverb) for many decades. Even if I’m playing rock music now, I still start with a clean tone on the amp and create distortion or overdrive patches on my pedalboard rather than using amp overdrive as I did in my youth. I also had a big pal to roadie the huge amps back then which I don’t anymore.

When plugging the ES into the clean preset I patiently copied from a dedicated Henriksen Jazzamp to a Boss Katana patch, I did notice quite a difference between the wired and wireless set-ups. It wasn’t huge but the wireless did rob me of some of the low-mid warmth of the wired connection. If anything the wireless sounded a little cleaner and more “HiFi” on the top end but it lost some bite and the consequent feel you get from that as a player. Is this a dealbreaker for me? Absolutely not! I will get a lot of use with this system at home. The sound is plenty good for casual practice and the joy of not having to navigate a twisted wire on my already cramped and cluttered floor is certainly worth a slight shift in tone. I’d venture to say that a casual listener might not be able to tell the difference but I can and I have to be honest about that.

If you’re the sort of player who uses mostly generated or programmed sounds, your experience could be vastly different. You’d probably be able to factor in any slight changes in tone or perception to your patch programming. I’m just more used to a wooden box and an amp alone.

The system charged pretty quickly and there’s a neat double ended USB-C cable included in the box. This allows simultaneous charging of both the transmitter and receiver. Set up was simple. The units paired instantly which the manual claimed they would do. You can repair them on a different frequency if you encounter interference but that never happened with me. The angle of the units to the plug has quite a wide range of adjustment and I was able to set the transmitter housing clear of the Vibrola arm on my guitar. The range seemed excellent and didn’t suffer from being near my powerful home routers. I could move around the house and not lose connection.

To be clear, these would also work for me for rehearsals and maybe even at jazz restaurant gigs where I’m really playing background. Those rooms often have a “tubby”, hollow, sound in the first place which might obscure any tone changes in the system. I’d always carry a back-up cable just in case and also for use if the components lose power; especially on a long gig.

Recommended with those slight caveats in mind.

Nice wireless system with LONG battery life

This wireless guitar system addresses the two biggest issues with these devices: battery life, and ability to switch transmission frequency in case of interference. Most inexpensive systems I've tried in the past will only allow you to play about a set's worth of material (i.e., less than an hour) before either going dead, or (worse yet) starting to introduce noise when you play. These don't have that problem, and also can transmit on seven different frequencies in the 5.8 Ghz band. (vs. many competitors that still use 2.4 Ghz). The ability to switch frequencies in the higher band better allows the user to avoid wireless frequencies that may already be in use in your environment. While the user should always bring a physical cable to use as a backup, this system is a great choice for wireless users.

Slight delay noticed on overdrive.

I cannot speak to how this would hold up in a full working musician setup, since that would really be the ultimate test, but for the average guitar player who just does not want to deal with a cord running to their amp, this works great. The sound comes through clearly. I did notice that once overdrive was on, there was a very slight delay. Without overdrive, there was no delay. So this really depends on your specific need, but for ours - it's great!

Flexibility, quality, and great sound at a great price.

This wireless guitar transmitter / receiver works great.

Great freedom between guitar and amp allowing you to walk around easily and it has great range. The sound is nice and clear as well. No lag.

Super easy operation. A simple On / Off switch and USB C charging. It stays charged for a long time too.

The rotatable attachment is also very nice depending on how you like to play, it allows you to be comfortable with the transmitter plugged in to your guitar.

Flexibility, quality, and great sound at a great price. I recommend them.

Plug and play easy to use

I really like these and the freedom of eliminating a patch cable. You get one receiver and one transmitter along with a charger cable with a y-cable end so you can charge both at once. You can switch between 7 channels so be careful touching the button. A light flashes to indicate which channel you selected. There is an on/off switch oh the side. These are ready right out of the box. Charge them, plug them in, turn them on, boom they work. I used them with over 20 feet in distance as well as behind a wall and they worked fine. They sounded the same as when I use a patch cable. They are quality built, the plugs swivel, they seem very durable, and I think they are an excellent value. They are very easy to use and much easier to carry than cables.

Not Bad

I've gotten other like it from other brands, and it's comparable to the ones in its price range. Also have a Flatsons pedal that I like, and it works well in concert with it. So luxurious to be able to play without a leash. Low latency, decent range for its field. Battery life is okay, but could be better. All in all, it's a decent wireless setup. Mostly recommend.

Great for casual playing at home

I wanted this wireless transmitter for casual playing at home on my couch where it's cumbersome to have guitar cables to contend with. It was an easier set up than I expected, I just plugged one into the guitar and one into my Flatsons Ke-1 pedal, they automatically matched channels, and connected right away. On my Fender it had no noticeable delay while playing, which was my main concern.

The sound quality is really good as far as I am concerned. It stays clear and doesn’t seem to affect the guitar tone compared to a cable. The plugs can pivot as much as needed for me to sit however I want on the couch without it getting in the way of the couch arm or cushions. It will clearly work on any of my guitars but the Fender guitars have the front facing angled jacks, so the transmitter fits great into that awkward angle. Battery life has been great so far; I haven’t run it dead in one session yet.

I don't really see any downside for at home use. For practice or moving around without being tied to a cable, it’s a nice upgrade. It’s especially handy if you’re tired of stepping on your guitar cord or having a long cord in your way in your practice space.

An Excellent Set of Wireless Guitar Transceivers!!

As a Professional Singer, Songwriter, Musician and GUITARIST I've obviously worked with a wide variety of Guitar Transceivers in this lifetime! Some have been absolutely fantastic and others not so much! I've noticed in the past that there has definitely been a correlation between price and quality when it comes to guitar transceivers! However, My Philosophy has now all changed after using this wonderful product from Flatsons!

This particular guitar transceiver set from flatsons is super easy to use and very well made in terms of the build quality as well as sound quality! I like the fact that both the receiver and transmitter are made of a fairly durable plastic! There is a swivel quarter inch instrument connector which makes it very easy to connect to any style guitar and in any angle!

The product is very much so a plug and play product! Simply plug the receiver into any amplifier and the transmitter into any guitar or keyboard and Slide the side switch from off to on and you will notice and immediate connection between the transmitter and receiver!

As you can see in my attached photos I connected the Flatsons transmitter to a Gibson Les Paul Standard guitar and plugged the receiver into a fun small practice amp! There was an immediate sink between both of the units and I was able to play the guitar right away!

The sound quality coming from the guitar into the amplifier was just as good as going directly with an instrument cable and there were no issues or any noticeable lag or latency between the transmitter and receiver!

Also, I love the fact that this product is very cost-effective as well!

Therefore, based on my review I am rating this product five stars because it truly is an excellent set of guitar or keyboard transceivers!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Clean wireless signal with low latency, but battery life is average

This worked better than expected for practice sessions and basic live use. Setup is simple and pairing happens quickly without much hassle. Signal stays clean with no noticeable latency while playing, which is the most important thing for a wireless system like this. Range is solid indoors and audio quality stayed consistent without obvious compression artifacts. Battery life is decent but not amazing, so charging before longer sessions is a good idea. Great value option if you want to ditch cables without spending premium money.

A fantastic wireless system at a good price.

I had been in the market for a better wireless system. I had 2 white label made wireless kit I got for my son and I a couple years ago. While it was convenient, it had a limited frequency response with the highs (the 'air') and low end dipping out. I suppose if your somebody who doesn't use alot of low end (I always have cranked mine and I play with a Peavey 6505 but pull down the 60hz band on my 10 Band and everything below gets zeroed out with the Low and Resonance on the amp getting brought up to 7. Make of that what you will.) andnor have a very spikey, bright sounding guitar, those might actually work, but for me it made it feel dull and lifeless, so I prefered not to use them often.

So I had been shopping around for a wireless lit and seen these and was thinking they may be good but figured I would just wait a bit considering I had spent so much money out on various equipment this year. When it came up for me to be able to review. I smashed that button.

I figured for the price and being a 5.8GHz system, it would be a vast improvement and it did not disappoint.

The full frequency response is there. There is no difference in frequency response between my cables and the wireless.

Set up was easy. You plug the correct part into your guitar and amp and turn them on. Ot is simple. If you are using more than one lit, you can quickly change channels via a button on each. It is that simple. They charge with USB-C and come with a dual output cable to charge with.

The sound was crystal clear. No frequency loss, no interference, no noise, even when using hot pickups into a treble booster, into a compressor and into a high gain amp.

There was no signal loss. And it responded well with my volume knob and the dual noise gate system I have. Litterally, everything sounded just as it does with my cable.

The only difference, and it is a slight difference (honestly it may be in my head) is there seems to be a very slight reduction and signal output. It did not affect frequency tone or sustain. It just seemed to be as if I was playing with the gain of the amp slightly pulled back, but again, it could be in my head. I was unable to quick switch between the system and a cable, needing to unplug and plug but it is perfectly fine with me. Even if this is the case, I don't use anywhere close to my amps max gain, not even half. I am also glong thru a compressor that could have it's level bumped a hair or I could raise my pickups a slight bit. That's honestly the best way to describe it....as if my pickups had been lowered a millimeter or two. But even with the highest end wireless systems, it is not the same as running a cable and compacitiance...impedence, they all play a role in the overall sound going into an amp. A longer lead will reduce your output and attenuate your frequency response lightly.

These do not affect your frequency response, your guitars dynamic response to you picking and volume/tone controls, interfere with your pedal set-up, have signal drops or crazy 'the devil is talking through my amp' interference and has a 100 ft zero loss range and will run for at least 6 hours on a full charge and is about as plug and play as you can get. Far superior to higher end wireless systems even 15 years ago.

It may be a nit pick and does not affect my rating, but I do wish that they were distinguishable at a glance. For instance, my older cheaper kit had a guitar graphic on the transmitter and a amp on the receiver. These look identical, but are labeled as either transmitter or reciever. A graphi or change in color or something to that effect would just be the cherry on top but both are designed in a way that you could easily but a sticker or lable on them to be able to distinguish, especially in a dark, stage environment.

Overall, I highly recommend these to a n yone looking for a reliable, well built and great sounding wireless system.

Better than cable....

I have other products from this seller including a different version of the wireless link setup.

Setting this up is a snap. It comes charged so simply plug the transmitter module into your guitar and plug the receiver into your amp. It's just like having your guitar plugged in to your amp --but without the cable. It works flawlessly.

Note that this will not work with your guitar unless it has pickups installed--it cannot turn your acoustic instrument into an electric one without first having pickups installed. It is just a way of transmitting an already electronic signal..

Battery life is great--about 4 to 5 hours in constant use but recharging is simple and quick. Sound quality is indistinguishable from a cable to my ears--very clear and natural. You can use several of these simultaneously in the same area without interfering--so several instruments can all be using this with no problem.

The jack is a 1/4 T5--very standard and because the electronics can swivel, you can move the transmitter out of the way or set it up so that it fits better on your instrument.

This works on speedy WiFi 5.8GHz rather than the more common (and longer range) 2.4. I think that is mostly an advantage however range will be significantly less than at 2.4. But all things being relative, it worked easily at 25 feet and probably would be OK up to 30 or 40.

Quality product, simple and reliable.
