As the title reads, what's everyone using these days? I haven't had a wireless in nearly 4 years. Technology changes a lot in that amount of time. I've got my eye on the Shure GLXD16, the Line6 G50 and the Sennheiser XSW-D. I need it to be solid. Recommendations?

XVive U2 system. $150 for the system. No hip pack, just a plug-in receiver and a plug-in transmitter. Can't say that it's as road-worthy as the name brands, but I used it on several gigs & rehearsals right before Covid squashed everything and had a blast walking through the crowd and playing at the same time. Never had a signal loss. Still use it occasionally at home now 2 years after purchasing. Reviews seem to be mostly positive upon a casual Google search. It's worth considering, at least.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnyone who *sings* at me through their teeth deserves to have a bus drive through their face

Shure GLXD16, if you play live regularly, prefer a hip pack setup and have the cash for it. Line 6 wireless systems seem to be hit and miss, so I'd stay clear. Sennheiser was my first wireless system, was a good one too, and the XSW-D, but I'm going with Shure as soon as I get my tax return, both for reliabiity and the fact that I prefer a hip pack to a plug in solution.

I have a couple of G10 systems. One regular and one G10S.
They sound fine and offered reasonable range for the first few years, but ever since I switched to a mesh network for my home WiFi, I've had droput problems, even standing in the same room, with direct line-of-sight between transmitter and receiver. They're supposed to be able to sniff out interference and switch to an open channel, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

The most popular thread I've ever made was 1) a joke and 2) based around literally the most inane/mundane question I could think of. That says something about me, or all of you, or both.

I am using the Boss WL-20, which works well. A charge lasts about 3.5 hours, so as long as I charge it before the show, I am good.Administrator of the SDUGF

I still have my Shure PGX4, although it has not seen much use in the past 2 years. It does not travel well due to the locale specific frequencies, so I can't recommend it these days.
This is about the only forum I have not seen the PSA on, but the Line 6 G10 and some other models had an overheating issue. It was corrected with a firmware update and it was only needed on those manufactured before March 2020. Any of them newer than that should be golden.I miss the 80's (girls) !!!

My wife got me this for X-mas a couple years ago. Works good, sounds good. Then again, I'm not a performing musician.
