Sound is great. I can't tell the difference between using the wireless and going with a cord. Another thing I was worried about is latency as it is a true ones and zeroes digital signal. As long as I'm in line of sight of the receiver on my pedal board, I have no latency. It does start to get slightly noticeable when I purposely have tried to push it to see how far I can go. If I introduce a wall or a crowd between myself and the receiver, a couple milliseconds of latency are present, but that's to be expected. But I can walk all over a 30 foot stage with no problem whatsoever.

I was pretty apprehensive going with the 2.4ghz digital over a traditional uhf/vhf analog wireless system since I know that the 2.4ghz band can get pretty crowded, especially in room full of cell phones, routers, etc.The Shure GLX system has built in active channel monitoring with seamless channel switching in the event of interference, and if it's been working, I sure would have no way of telling without busting out a spectrum analyzer. All I know is that regardless of the room, I've had a solid signal with no signs of interference over 2+ years. Plus having a built in strobe tuner (which is extremely accurate) is a huge plus since that frees up space on my pedalboard.Battery life is superb. I can get 8-12 hours out of a single charge. I keep a backup charged battery with me, but if for some reason I need to buy myself some time, I can get a solid 1.5 hours of playing time with about 15 minutes of charge which is about the time of a set break.

Set it and forget it. Zero learning curve. If for some reason you do want to change the active channel on the system (for example if you have other band members with similar systems), a single paragraph in the manual will get you going.

The thing is built like a tank, which is another reason I went with the Shure over a Line 6 system. The receiver's metal housing has the antennas inside it so there's no way of accidentally stepping on one and breaking it and the whole unit feels like a brick. The receiver is very solidly built with a sturdy switch and clip and no way to really damage it. The replaceable cord is also very high quality and I have yet to see any reason to even think about ordering a backup.The only very minor negative thing I can say about the unit is that the usb wall charger that it ships with is pretty meh. Mine started to not deliver a full charge after about 6 months of use. But you can use any micro-usb wall charger with the unit and I have plenty of those so it wasn't a big deal for me at all.

It might be a little more expensive compared to similar digital wireless units, but the build quality and solid performance more than justify it.

I've had no problems with this unit, but I've had to contact Shure about other products I own and they've always been great.

Overall would definitely recommend or buy again. Fantastic wireless system that I'm confident I'll be able to get many more years out of.

Tone is very, very close to corded guitar. Sound quality is very clean yet processing sounds correct for corded instrument.

Playing and not having to worry about frequency changes is great. Woud like to have had the battery charging dock as part of the package deal. It is a little inconvenient to charge the unit at the transmitter as I have a tendency to leave the transmitter attached to my guitar strap. This is not convenient if you buy a spare battery. There is no way to charge one battery while using the other in the transmitter.

Very easy to get great sounds with this. Also very easy to use with other products. But I would recommend using the power supply that comes with the unit if possible. learning curve is practically zero.

Made very well, but battery docking connector is a little weak. Recommend mounting dock, cable and adapter on pedal board if possible to avoid breakage later.

Great value for $ spent, well worth purchase price.

Shure is very easy to work with. I have dealt with them in the past.

For me, I hate tripping on guitar cords. So even though it makes me far more mobile, I would buy it just to eliminate some of the trip factor on stage.

i tested wired and then with this and even my picky ear could make out no discernible difference between the tones

The LINKFREQ thing they talk about it really nifty, i had no dropouts or anything at my last gig no matter how much i was running around. I also had someone crash into my guitar during a song and was able to hop up there and retune in a jiffy with the muted tuner feature.

Plug it in, turn on the unit then the transmitter, have fun! Read the instruction manual if you really want to know all the loads of extra features.

It's all completely metal both the receiver and transmitter, and so i have no fear that it will keep going for a good looong time, plus the micro usb is excellent for charging the transmitter, since that type of plug works with nearly all the smartphones nowadays. Lastly, there were absolutely no issues with it running at the same time with the line 6 g50, i gave that one to my other guitarist and we didn''t cross signal paths at all.

It is defeintely worth every bit spent, I wouldve gladly paid more for it.

I've never needed to contact them before but my vocalist swears by their microphones!

The simplicity and the wireless freedom and it looks really nifty!
