Thanks so much! The is my 3rd video view of wireless guitar systems from your channel. Great quality reviews of various wireless systems. I like/love your approach. Thanks again!
Haha you can do that. If you want a higher end wireless, Shure and sennheiser are amazing and I’ve reviewed them multiple times on the channel as well 👍
Great video as always. Scott you don’t know how much time and money you save for all of us. Straight to the point and with clear options. Always answering the questions. Thank you very much!
As a cigar box guitar builder and a ham radio operator your description is spot on. I am looking into building one of these into a stealth electric guitar so I can play with some acoustic nerds I met. They won't let me play anything with a jack ... So wireless lol. They made the rule. 😉
I need a wireless system so bad! My 3yr old Son keeps tripping over my cords while I practice and record. It's been a battle. I'd be extremely grateful to win this giveaway!
Awesome video as always, Scott. Getting started with wireless and your videos have helped tremendously. Keep up the great work, and thank you, appreciate the time you put in to your content.
Thanks for all of your great reviews Scott. I have used some of these wireless systems but the Lekato UHF is the worse when it comes to sound quality. It's high-mid range is so muddy compared to the x-vibe u2 2,4Ghz, the Ammoon 5,8Ghz or a decent cable. I only realized it after destroying (boosting highs and mids) in some great helix presets.
The lekato ws70 right? That one does seem to have the least favorable reviews. It works well for me, as well as a lot of other people. But it does seem to give some people trouble for sure
Thanks, Scott. Your reviews are great for us part-time "weekend warrior" musicians who need good gear but don't have the budget for a Shure or Sennheiser type system.
Awesome! Thanks for the comment. That's what I was hoping would help people out! I know some people cannot afford the $900 wireless that I recommend. So I'm glad many people are finding this content helpful!
Thanks! I did 2 shows in the Netherlands back in 2019. Loved it there! Hopefully we are going back at the end of this year, but no guarantees (it's been rescheduled 3 times now). But hopefully someday!
@@rutgerslijper8858 I'm a hired musician for this one. I'll definitely be posting about it on social media when we do. The band changes their name sometimes lol. It's either "Apsara" or "Deathbed Confessions."
Handy world wide tip! Check the frequencies that you can use in your country! 2.4/5.8 digital systems seem to be pretty much free to use world wide. In my country 900Mhz is used by something else that pays for that range if you interfere with their use and they find out who you are you will be fined... or at best it will be like the Spinal Tap Airforce Gig!
Another great video. I bought the swiff on your recommend and I’ve been happy with it. Solid connection, good range, no lag. Maybe just a little hiss added compared to a wire. But great for the price.
I picked up the Lekato WS-70 system based on your reviews. Thanks for all the great info. Recently I got 3 sets of the Lekato/Joyo MW-1 XLR Wireless systems.
Nice! Good choices 🤘 I’m actually reviewing a new wireless XLR by Kimafun on the 902-928mhz spectrum. So far it’s working great. Video should be out within 2-3 weeks on it
Cheers for this Scott .. had a problem with a wireless mixer / PA a few weeks ago . . We thought the PA was faulty . Didn’t realize it was cutting out every time I switched on my ( cheap :) ) guitar wireless .. well we realized it a few hours after we had to cancel the show :( … would have been great to have seen this video before that happened :) . Keep up the good work .. your Helix videos have been very useful too
These videos are great. I've sent a few folks your way that say "I'd love to go wireless but can't afford it." I've actually used my 5ghz Amoon when I couldn't get my Sure wireless to come through clear (no idea why I had so much interference). I found it funny and not that my $60 amazon wireless worked when my $479 Sure system didn't. Great video and info!
The Boss is a solid unit, especially for feel and battery life. But yeah, it drops out a little more than I like. Especially with the price point that it's at. It's too expensive for a 2.4ghz system IMO.
Love your vids. Found you from your hx stomp vids. I bought the phenyx pro system it really hasn’t worked out for me live but I use it in practice and it’s good there.
@@ScottUhlMusic I had frequent glitches and drop outs if I wasn’t pretty close to the receiver especially if I was back by the drummer with my back turned to the receiver. I tried several channels. Maybe I just got a bad one? Maybe a good video would be showing how easy it is to change channels on the different units. That would probably be a short vid. Thanks again for all you do, I really dig your channel.
@@terryreece4828 hmm... were there a bunch of wireless all in the same area? And did it happen at many venues or just one or 2? There are many different factors... those are the main ones I would watch out for. My drummer and singer use them and have never had a problem with them. They do have less available channels than my expensive Sennheiser system. So it could have just been that all channels were taken where you were. Although a faulty unit is also possible, and PP has a great 1 year warranty!
I bought the Lekato Ws-70 from your other video. The extended neck between the plug and the body was the main selling pint for me. It works on an Ibanez bass with active pickups. Other wireless units are too short to connect because of the way Ibanez locates their jacks. I have not had any issues with it.
Great videos on wireless. I use wireless systems with bass guitar in a weekend warrior cover band. I started with the Getaria 2.4 but kept clashing with the singer’s wireless system, so went with the 5.8 Getaria system, which worked flawlessly until last Saturday. New venue, first time I got drop-outs with the 5.8, so just picked up the Lekato’s 900Mhz. They sound acceptable in the house with better range, so we’ll see what happens this weekend. Again, thanks for all the great info.
I see you have a electric cello back there. Have you used the wireles with it? Watching your videos I just ordered a Swiff WS70 for my electric violin haha let's see
@@ScottUhlMusic an update on the swiff,gave it a little spin, seems very straight forward and works well. Comparing to a cableu, though, I see an attenuation of - 6db on the wireless. Is this normal? Nothing that I can't compensate on a pedal
I don't think I get drop outs in particular, as much as I get pops and crackles through the system. Do you think that means I am on the wrong channel or frequency? Great video by the way.
Hmm… “pops and crackles” sound like something different. Sometimes I get that, but not often. Usually interference is when it cuts out. When you change the channel does it go away?
@@ScottUhlMusic on The Phenyx Pro PTG-12 I can’t ever tell what channel it’s on. I also have the Sennheiser Ew G4 which also gets those crackles sometimes but is way more reliable. I just wish it had the form factor of the phenyx Pro. Sennheiser also makes their “cheaper” ($300) instruments pick up but those Always fail on me probably because they are 2.4. I need something pro for big stages that doesn’t have me attached to my violin by bodypack. Like the Phenyx but more reliable. What’s the best unit for that in your opinion?
@@PhearNone7 If you need something for big and pro stages, you gotta spend the money. The Swiff Audio is a good cheap one... but when I play the bigger shows it's my sennheiser every time. This is the one I recommend: ruclips.net/video/rWVF0tv8zCM/видео.html If you want to save a little money, this one is also good depending on how many wireless are on stage at once: ruclips.net/video/k5OM4GUJNvQ/видео.html
This was great info. Our bass player has the lekato 5.8 system it usually works well but occasionally doesn’t. So our guitarist ended up getting the exact same system. Sometime the 2 systems mess with each other. I would love for my guitarist to get another system
Yup, limited channels are available with these wireless. The more cheap wireless you have all at once, the more likely they are going to get a drop/interference. Especially if everyone is using the same one. Try the Swiff Audio WS 50 on 900mhz range
Thanks for all your work posting these reviews 😊. I'm having distortion issues with the Boss WL20 and my passive mandolin pickup ... so might try Brian Fay and Swiff WS70. I'm keeping 5G band free for the tablet mixer.
5G does decently well because there are more available options for those frequencies than 2.4ghz. So you can still do a 5.8 system, just leave it away from your mixer 🤘The NUX systems are supposed to work well with active pickup type situations too 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks. I got the ammoon 5.8, like yours, but when plugging straight into a Behringer XR18 on gig one Day... the tablet disconnected. (Using 5.8 modem). So my advice would be to leave the 5.8 for the digital mixer.
Yeah if it’s right into the mixer, that might cause dropouts. It’s a finicky game with some of these wireless for sure, and it involves trial and error 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic understand you mentioned the NUX B5RC works for acoustic, but what about the C5RC (same in your experience)? Did you have any issues with its TRS style jack that has a battery ground? Cheers
Thanks Scott, love your videos. I just ordered the Phenyx PTG-12 and Lekato wireless system before I watched this but sounds like the Phenyx may have issues with other 500mhz if there are many using that frequency. I do have a Sennheiser G3 IEM system that runs in the 500 range. I hope the Lekato doesn't have any issues with my Kemper, I don't use active pickups either.
I currently use the Ammoon 5.8 for active pickups (based off of your review of course). Its on my to-do list to pick up a few more of the other frequencies.
Nice! You got one before they disappeared off of Amazon :) haha. I still have that one, and it's a good unit! The Swiff Audio WS 50 I think would be a good backup for you. Thanks for the comment.
Very helpful stuff. I actually have a PRS SE Piezo that has 2 separate outputs (piezo and mag) and used to have so many dropout problems using just 2.4 wireless systems for both. Per the advice I now use the Boss 2.4 for the mag and NUX 5.8 for my Piezo and it’s worked like a charm (the Swiff Audio is my backup). Thanks for the help!
Having a great experience with the 5.8 from Lekato. That system with the UHF from Lekato full the needs for me. Now if I can win the giveaway, I'm covered! Another great video. Thx for putting these out there
@@sionzion No... damn spam youtube comments are so annoying. I guess that's a sign that my channel is growing if I have spammers now lol. But ANY time you see a comment on RUclips (I mean..... 100% of the time) and they try to tell you to text a number or reach them on WhatsApp, it's 1000% a scam without question.
Great video as always. Thought I would mention -- I love the Brian Fay system. But mine failed. But here is the good news - they made it super easy to get a replacement, and shipped it the very next day. great system, great company. Feel free to give me another one :)
Definitely will be watching more videos. Just found your channel tonight. Subscribe as well I appreciate the simplicity I have been looking into setting up my own iem system. I have a xr 18. With two phenix pro iems. Last thing I have been looking for is a set of wireless instrument. To be able to allow for less cables during load in and load out. Regardless if I win or not you for sure got a fan. Keep doing your thing
I had the G10 and it died on me within 3 months. Was looking at the G10S until I stumbled upon your videos. I'm going to try the Amoon first. Although they are not available on Amazon anymore I have noticed that you can purchase them from Walmart.
I have the Getaria and a Westshell which has the same case as the swiff. I play bass and do not move around much but it is so nice to not have the cord.
Nice! Any of these can take the place of any 1/4” cable. It just depends on the setup/pickup because some give a little bit of a buzz when you play depending on the setup. I let my violin player borrow 2… and 2 of them were clipping in her setup. I have so many of these I cannot remember which ones I lent her. So I would try the Swiff audio WS50 first and make sure it works for you 👍
My singer/guitarist just bought one and he loved it (cool design), but unfortunately he left it in his backpack weird and it broke haha. But it was a cool unit until that happened!
Good video. A question - what if you have 2 or 3 people in a band using a wireless 'plug and play' system on the same frequency band, but different makes/models of wireless system - will everything work ok, or will you get dropouts because they're all on the same frequency band? Then again, surely within each frequency band there is enough space for multiple systems. So let's say the guitarist has a wireless system made by Harley Benton on 5.8Ghz, the bass player has a wireless system made by Nux but also on 5.8Ghz, and singer has an XLR plug and play 5.8Ghz system for their mic by yet another manufacturer (maybe JOYO) - will they work ok together? I'd love to know your answer. Thanks.
The more cheap stuff you use all at once, the more likely you will run out of channels. Depends on the room, depends on the frequency, depends on the wireless. Best rule of thumb is the more wireless you have at once, the more expensive wireless you should use and the more frequency coordination you should use. Not always… it can still work most of the time. It’s just best practice
I got the 5ghz wireless Lekato ones, and it KILLS wifi on my iPad, and other transmitter receivers. The NUX B-5RC though have been SOLID. Highly recommended.
I'd love a free wireless system! I had an old system but it's on no longer legal frequencies so I don't use it anymore (ahem) but a legal system would be great! Thanks for your videos, they are really useful, informative, and entertaining! Cheers, Chris
Most of them do. I can’t know every single pickup and guitar style, so my advice is to try it once you get it, and if it doesn’t work to return it. If you don’t want to risk that, save up money and get an entry level Shure or sennheiser system 👍
Hey Scott love the channel and subscribed, I play bass and bought the Lekato 5.8 but they would cut out once in a while (no clue why). Now I'm gonna give the NUX a try, is the 5.8 still better than the 2.4 on this brand, or is there something better around this 150-200 mark? TIA
I would follow my advice in this video and do one on 900 and one on 5.8… so if 5.8 is giving you trouble, you switch to the 900 and vise versa. Entry level Shure BLXR is $400, and is definitely a great unit if you want to take wireless seriously instead of the cheaper stuff. But using the tips in this video is a good way to use cheap gear well 👍
Thanks for this real-world input! :-) Do these wireless systems properly reproduce higher and low-end frequencies, such as those from acoustic guitar upper and lower harmonics? Or is there tone suck? I‘d love to have one for my acoustic gigs, but if they suck high (or low) frequencies due to catering more to electric guitars, then I‘d rather stick to cables. Side note: A whole bunch of digital effects pedals - including many really high-end ones with really high sampling rates - suck harmonics and make acoustic guitars sound more mid-centered, metallic and unnatural (due to missing harmonics).
Thanks for watching! My honest option… I don’t hear a tone loss when using this. However, I’m not an audiophile or tone purist. If I get a useable tone out of these, I’m happy. If you are asking in that much depth, my assumption is you are more of a tone purist. In that case, I always recommend going Shure or sennheiser (which I’ve reviewed many on this channel). You can always try one of these out and return it if you don’t like it. They are cheap for a reason. But I still recommend them for musicians on a budget who understand their limitations 👍

Thanks! I have the 5.8 and the 2.4 Ghz Lekato plugs. I've only gigged the 5.8 ones and have the 2.4 as backups. No issues...no noise or interference.
Nice! Good choices 🤘
I bought Swiff SW-50 because of your unbiased review. Thanks Scott.
The first one I usually recommend now 😊 good choice!
Great video, I have picked up a number of items you have recommended over the years
Awesome! Glad to hear it, and glad you like them 🤘

Did u get Brian Fay? How was it? How long it lasts?
Handy world wide tip! Check the frequencies that you can use in your country! 2.4/5.8 digital systems seem to be pretty much free to use world wide. In my country 900Mhz is used by something else that pays for that range if you interfere with their use and they find out who you are you will be fined... or at best it will be like the Spinal Tap Airforce Gig!

Yeah mine still works great 👍

Thank you Dylan!
Very helpfull video Scott, with clear information about the different systems. Thank you!
Glad you found it useful!
Cheers Scott! Never even considered going wireless due to the expense. Will have to check out these budget options
I think this video is a pretty good hack to increase your chances of it working well 👍 2 wireless for $100 is worth it imo

Love the video, at first I wasn’t into wireless systems but now I’m starting to like the idea of them.
I literally had a dream last night that I was forced to use a cable for a theatrical show… I’m not joking 😅😅 I’m quite sold on wireless haha

@@PhearNone7 If you need something for big and pro stages, you gotta spend the money. The Swiff Audio is a good cheap one... but when I play the bigger shows it's my sennheiser every time. This is the one I recommend: ruclips.net/video/rWVF0tv8zCM/видео.html
If you want to save a little money, this one is also good depending on how many wireless are on stage at once: ruclips.net/video/k5OM4GUJNvQ/видео.html
Thanks for the information
Thanks for watching!
I have the Getaria set and they do pretty well! I wanna try the Swiff set though.
Definitely worth it 🤘
Yet another great review!
Thanks David!
Good stuff as always 👍 Currently I only have a 2,4Ghz one. Definitely makes sense to have different ones as a backup.
Yup, especially with 2.4ghz being your main one!
Love your reviews
Thanks!
Scott over here just giving away wireless to the world 🙌
haha I'm going to get more people on board with my addiction :)
@@ScottUhlMusic personally I love a clean stage the only thing I need now to be 100% is a battery pack for my HX Stomp and boost pedal
@@rudyzee6427 I have my HX Stomp as a battery powered thing now lol. I use this: ruclips.net/video/-RbykZwyzMY/видео.html
Good info as always
Thanks John!
Great video ss always. Cheers
🤘🤘
I love the Lekato ones...never give me a problem. Thanks, Scott!
Lekato makes some good stuff!
This was great info. Our bass player has the lekato 5.8 system it usually works well but occasionally doesn’t. So our guitarist ended up getting the exact same system. Sometime the 2 systems mess with each other. I would love for my guitarist to get another system
Yup, limited channels are available with these wireless. The more cheap wireless you have all at once, the more likely they are going to get a drop/interference. Especially if everyone is using the same one. Try the Swiff Audio WS 50 on 900mhz range
Thanks for all your work posting these reviews 😊. I'm having distortion issues with the Boss WL20 and my passive mandolin pickup ... so might try Brian Fay and Swiff WS70. I'm keeping 5G band free for the tablet mixer.
5G does decently well because there are more available options for those frequencies than 2.4ghz. So you can still do a 5.8 system, just leave it away from your mixer 🤘The NUX systems are supposed to work well with active pickup type situations too 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks. I got the ammoon 5.8, like yours, but when plugging straight into a Behringer XR18 on gig one Day... the tablet disconnected. (Using 5.8 modem). So my advice would be to leave the 5.8 for the digital mixer.
Yeah if it’s right into the mixer, that might cause dropouts. It’s a finicky game with some of these wireless for sure, and it involves trial and error 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic understand you mentioned the NUX B5RC works for acoustic, but what about the C5RC (same in your experience)? Did you have any issues with its TRS style jack that has a battery ground? Cheers
Thanks Scott, love your videos. I just ordered the Phenyx PTG-12 and Lekato wireless system before I watched this but sounds like the Phenyx may have issues with other 500mhz if there are many using that frequency. I do have a Sennheiser G3 IEM system that runs in the 500 range. I hope the Lekato doesn't have any issues with my Kemper, I don't use active pickups either.
If you are only using 1-3 other devices in the 500mhz range, you should be fine with the PTG 12! But as always... just test it once you get it.
Love your stuff. Keep the good stuff coming!
Thank you!
Good stuff as always Scott. Hey can you recommend a digital mixing console 12 channel for less than $500? Cheers man.
Thanks, and yes, the behringer xr12 👍
I currently use the Ammoon 5.8 for active pickups (based off of your review of course). Its on my to-do list to pick up a few more of the other frequencies.
Nice! You got one before they disappeared off of Amazon :) haha. I still have that one, and it's a good unit! The Swiff Audio WS 50 I think would be a good backup for you. Thanks for the comment.
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks! I will add the Swift Audio to my cart. I tried the Lekato before the Ammoon and it did not work with my actives.
@@ChaosDP Let me know how it works for you! A lot of people say the Swiff works with their pickups... but remember to always try it!
Very helpful stuff. I actually have a PRS SE Piezo that has 2 separate outputs (piezo and mag) and used to have so many dropout problems using just 2.4 wireless systems for both. Per the advice I now use the Boss 2.4 for the mag and NUX 5.8 for my Piezo and it’s worked like a charm (the Swiff Audio is my backup). Thanks for the help!
Awesome! Glad it's working for you :) Thanks for the comment!
Having a great experience with the 5.8 from Lekato. That system with the UHF from Lekato full the needs for me.
Now if I can win the giveaway, I'm covered!
Another great video. Thx for putting these out there
Nice, great choices for sure! 🤘
love your every content brother .keep on doing !!
Thanks 😊
Hey @Scott uhl is it true I am the winner?
@@sionzion No... damn spam youtube comments are so annoying. I guess that's a sign that my channel is growing if I have spammers now lol. But ANY time you see a comment on RUclips (I mean..... 100% of the time) and they try to tell you to text a number or reach them on WhatsApp, it's 1000% a scam without question.
@Scott lol okay brother .
I too thought it was a scam .
Great video as always. Thought I would mention -- I love the Brian Fay system. But mine failed. But here is the good news - they made it super easy to get a replacement, and shipped it the very next day. great system, great company. Feel free to give me another one :)
Awesome! That’s always good to know that a company has a great return policy too!
Definitely will be watching more videos. Just found your channel tonight. Subscribe as well
I appreciate the simplicity I have been looking into setting up my own iem system.
I have a xr 18. With two phenix pro iems. Last thing I have been looking for is a set of wireless instrument. To be able to allow for less cables during load in and load out. Regardless if I win or not you for sure got a fan. Keep doing your thing
Nice setup! I have a xr18 as well as an x32, and the phenyx pro IEMs are great systems!
I had the G10 and it died on me within 3 months. Was looking at the G10S until I stumbled upon your videos. I'm going to try the Amoon first. Although they are not available on Amazon anymore I have noticed that you can purchase them from Walmart.
Lekato or getaria make good 5.8 ones 👍
I have the Getaria and a Westshell which has the same case as the swiff. I play bass and do not move around much but it is so nice to not have the cord.
Nice! And yeah that Westshell looks almost the exact same as the Swiff
Great video! I subscribed. I will try a few with my electric cello to check they work with that. Do you know which work best with electric violin?
Nice! Any of these can take the place of any 1/4” cable. It just depends on the setup/pickup because some give a little bit of a buzz when you play depending on the setup. I let my violin player borrow 2… and 2 of them were clipping in her setup. I have so many of these I cannot remember which ones I lent her. So I would try the Swiff audio WS50 first and make sure it works for you 👍
My bass player uses a cheapo Westshell unit and tried to sell me on them. Maybe you've talked me into trying them out.
My singer/guitarist just bought one and he loved it (cool design), but unfortunately he left it in his backpack weird and it broke haha. But it was a cool unit until that happened!
Good video. A question - what if you have 2 or 3 people in a band using a wireless 'plug and play' system on the same frequency band, but different makes/models of wireless system - will everything work ok, or will you get dropouts because they're all on the same frequency band? Then again, surely within each frequency band there is enough space for multiple systems. So let's say the guitarist has a wireless system made by Harley Benton on 5.8Ghz, the bass player has a wireless system made by Nux but also on 5.8Ghz, and singer has an XLR plug and play 5.8Ghz system for their mic by yet another manufacturer (maybe JOYO) - will they work ok together? I'd love to know your answer. Thanks.
The more cheap stuff you use all at once, the more likely you will run out of channels. Depends on the room, depends on the frequency, depends on the wireless. Best rule of thumb is the more wireless you have at once, the more expensive wireless you should use and the more frequency coordination you should use. Not always… it can still work most of the time. It’s just best practice
I got the 5ghz wireless Lekato ones, and it KILLS wifi on my iPad, and other transmitter receivers. The NUX B-5RC though have been SOLID. Highly recommended.
I love the NUX one for sure! It's definitely a "stronger" 5.8ghz system if people can afford it over the $50 ones.
Is it a good idea to get the Amazon protection plan when purchasing these???
I wouldn’t personally
More wireless goodies!! I find my cheap Lekato works better than my Boss system when using the X-vive U4 ears.
Yup! The less 2.4ghz the better. But that U4 does seem to do pretty well considering it's 2.4ghz
I'd love a free wireless system! I had an old system but it's on no longer legal frequencies so I don't use it anymore (ahem) but a legal system would be great! Thanks for your videos, they are really useful, informative, and entertaining! Cheers, Chris
I know, the fact that some of them became "illegal" is incredibly annoying for sure. I had to get rid of some old IEMs because of it too a while back
Do these wireless systems work with bass guitars as well
Most of them do. I can’t know every single pickup and guitar style, so my advice is to try it once you get it, and if it doesn’t work to return it. If you don’t want to risk that, save up money and get an entry level Shure or sennheiser system 👍
Thanks Sir ed masters😊
Hey Scott love the channel and subscribed, I play bass and bought the Lekato 5.8 but they would cut out once in a while (no clue why). Now I'm gonna give the NUX a try, is the 5.8 still better than the 2.4 on this brand, or is there something better around this 150-200 mark? TIA
I would follow my advice in this video and do one on 900 and one on 5.8… so if 5.8 is giving you trouble, you switch to the 900 and vise versa. Entry level Shure BLXR is $400, and is definitely a great unit if you want to take wireless seriously instead of the cheaper stuff. But using the tips in this video is a good way to use cheap gear well 👍
Subscribed. Great content.
Thank you! 🤘
Thanks for this real-world input! :-) Do these wireless systems properly reproduce higher and low-end frequencies, such as those from acoustic guitar upper and lower harmonics? Or is there tone suck? I‘d love to have one for my acoustic gigs, but if they suck high (or low) frequencies due to catering more to electric guitars, then I‘d rather stick to cables. Side note: A whole bunch of digital effects pedals - including many really high-end ones with really high sampling rates - suck harmonics and make acoustic guitars sound more mid-centered, metallic and unnatural (due to missing harmonics).
Thanks for watching! My honest option… I don’t hear a tone loss when using this. However, I’m not an audiophile or tone purist. If I get a useable tone out of these, I’m happy.
If you are asking in that much depth, my assumption is you are more of a tone purist. In that case, I always recommend going Shure or sennheiser (which I’ve reviewed many on this channel). You can always try one of these out and return it if you don’t like it. They are cheap for a reason. But I still recommend them for musicians on a budget who understand their limitations 👍
