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!
