  • Wireless
Model: C-5RC
These are awesome. Works like a charm, had them for a few weeks and no transmitting problems. Never cuts out or loses signal. The case is genius, when you put the transmitters back in the case the case charges them so they are ready next time. If your running late to rehearsal or gig and you forgot to charge them, put them in the case and charge them while your driving over. So smart! It's so easy and convenient, but you should definitely spend a little more and get the 5.8ghz. I was looking at some at 90 dollars but only 2.4 ghz. I'm glad I got the 5.8 the sound is clearer than cables and no loss of signal. It's worth it. ... show more

  • Seriously Good!
Model: C-5RC
I've used quite a few of this type of guitar wireless systems in the past. My previous setup was the Xvive U2. When the batteries started to fade on that product I decided to look around for a more modern replacement. First I tried the Swift 5.8GHz units...don't buy them, they are appalling. Then I stumbled on a YouTube clip where the N-UX units were briefly mentioned in a passing comment. They looked interesting so I thought I'd give them a go. They looked really good, particularly the included charging case, what a good idea. As the 2.4GHz band is quite crowded now I decided to go for the 5.8GHz units. I've been using them daily for the last six weeks and I have to say I love them. The mute feature is super handy when swapping guitars. The auto power off helps extend the battery life so even the longest gig are no worries - I've gone 6 hours without issue. Of course if it looks a bit dicey you can always just pop them back in the case for 15minutes during a break and they will charge up significantly in that time. They have a guitar lead simulator that rolls off the top end a bit - full confession, I can't hear any difference which probably means my hearing is shot LOL, but it there, which is nice. Sound quality is impeccable, you can't tell the difference between these units and a guitar lead. You can't hear any latency, they claim less than 5ms and I believe that. The range is fine for 100% of what I do, I'm never more than 10m from my rig so I can't really comment on the maximum range, but come on, unless you are doing stadiums, these will be fine. The construction is about what I'd expect of this type of equipment, it feels light and possibly a bit fragile, but that is how the Xvives originally felt to me and they lasted 4 and half years without issue. I assume the N-UX's will too. I recommend this product, I love just about everything about it. The only thing I would like to see added is the ability to wake up both the receiver and transmitter, from the transmitter (From your guitar) - once they go to sleep you have to wake them up individually, which has caught me out a couple of times :-). But really, that's a first world problem, right :-) Bottom line, if I lost them I'd buy another set immediately. Enough said. ... show more

  • Great but batteries start to fade after about 3 years
Model: C-5RC
There's a lot to like about this wireless unit. But I am disappointed that the batteries in mine started to fade after about 3 years. They no longer would get me through a full 3-hour show without charging on set breaks. If you're handy with a soldering iron, you can pop them open and replace the batteries (which I did). But I feel like these should have lasted a bit longer before having to resort to that. Otherwise, these are great wireless units. They handle my active and passive basses well. Range is good. The built in charging in the case is super handy. I never had problems with interference or drop out. ... show more

  • Well Worth it !
Model: C-5RC
I had a 20 year old Sennheiser wireless system that worked fine but was Bulky old technology at this point. It always served me well and sounded great. Moving on and looking to catch up with the new devices, I read lots of reviews on this model that led me to have some faith in what it is said to do. So, I went for it. After receiving it, I was happy to see how dam easy it was to use a wireles system today. The Charge feature built in to the case takes this over the top. If each run time is anything close to 4 hours, This will get me through a full show without worrying about batteries dying. 1 set is 45 min and we mostly do 3 sets. As for the way it sounds and how quite it is, YES.. I used it for over an hour when I got it and all worked so well I could almost forget I was wires. I highly recommend this one. ... show more

  • Great at First, But Battery Life Fades Too Fast
Model: C-5RC
It worked very well for 1 year; the battery lasted more than 4 hours straight. After a year, 2 hours, and now it only lasts 30 minutes. I don’t recommend it since you lose money and they don’t give you a warranty for that. I just keep it there to practice, and when it runs out I charge it, but it’s already a hassle having to do that. You can’t do live shows anymore, because just waiting on stage for half an hour and you already have to switch it to a cable. ... show more

  • GREAT INVESTMENT TO MY GEAR!
Model: C-5RC
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST NON-INSTRUMENT INVESMENTS I HAVE EVER MADE TO MY GEAR! 1 It works with my gear without noise interference. I have a Martin D-28 and Taylor 555, with a Fishman Rare Earth Blend pickup. This active pickup is far enough away from the output jack at the base of the guitar that I experience no noise interference. I have a Fender Clapton Strat that used to make static noise till my Luthier painted the underside of the pickguard with metallic paint. Because of that, there is no noise interference from the active electronics on the guitar. Finally, no noise issues with my passive pickup guitars. 2 It recharges my transmitter and receiver while I have an hour break between rehearsal and worship. 3 The case keeps the transmitter and receiver from damage. 4 A USB charging chord is included. 5 No time use issues so far. 6 No noticeable difference in sound (I am a perfectionist, and I would notice). No degradation in the punch, sweetness, or frequency of my strings. 7 I no longer stumble over a guitar instrument cables. I am very pleased! ... show more

  • Battery life Sux
Model: C-5RC
Really wanted to love this item but the first time the batteries died during a 2 hr rehearsal, this thing got kicked to the Studio Only bin. BTW, I fully charged this device that’s less than a year old, prior to use. Crappy longevity
