Simple design, does its job.
DanielLeonov 23.04.2024
Pros:
* Does what it's supposed to do. Clean signal, no audible noise or latency.
* Good dynamic range. I've had another more fancy wireless system by AKG that got clipped by some of my instruments (with hot pickups), this one doesn't have this issue.
* Simple but tasteful aesthetic. No loud branding, tons of LEDs, fake wood/carbon textures on the plastic etc. Best looking system in this form factor.
* Easy to distinguish LED colours. As someone who's partially colour blind, it's often hard to tell some green LEDs from yellow ones, and yellows from reds. In this unit, they're easy for me to tell apart. It was a nice surprise.
* Long button presses are not too long. It's a personal pet peeve of mine, when "long button press" means you have to hold the button for a long time, which is really annoying. In this unit, to power it on, you have to hold it for about a second, if not less, I like it.
* Really good build quality, if you don't mind it being made of plastic.

Cons:
* The hinge turns so that transmitter's LED is always facing the instrument, on all instruments (including strat, jazz bass, and guitars with jack on the side of the body). It makes it really hard to see the LED indicator, pretty sure it would be better for it to face away from the instrument. Really weird design choice. You can probably swap it the other way if you disassemble the unit, but it's definitely not something you're supposed to fix yourself. Same with the receiver.
* Like with all the other units in this form factor, the transmitter and receiver look identical. There's no reason for them to look exactly the same. Yes, there's a label on each of them, which tells which one is which, but good luck with seing this in a poorly lit venue.
* Micro-USB instead of USB Type C charging port. I've seen way cheaper OEM products with USB C, so I don't see any reason for sticking to an outdated and less reliable socket.

Neutrals:
* Pretty minimal packaging. The box looks like one for a cheap off-brand OEM product. There's no hard case that charges the receiver and transmitter (like with other similar wireless units), just a cloth pouch. But it takes way less space this way, which is important for me too, that's why I'm not listing it as a con.
* It's branded as Ibanez, but I'm almost sure it's the same manufacturer that makes all the other wireless systems similar to this one, like NUX, Xvive etc. Judging by design and packaging. So don't pay too much attention to a well known brand.
* It's 2.4 GHz, which might be less desirable than 5GHz systems in the same price range. I don't care too much about this, but some might.

So far so good

Does exactly what it's designed for, haven't noticed any perceptible lag or delays, even when going through a digitech whammy,
No way to change the batteries though when they eventually fail, like all other wireless systems of this type
The plastic feels a little on the cheaper side, but I'm sure that's done on purpose to keep the weight down so there's no strain on the instrument input jack, no matter what angle it's plugged in at.
Haven't tried it in a multiple wireless system yet to see if there's interference with others on the same frequency, but since the devices are uniquely paired at manufacturing level, I'd imagine it wouldn't be a concern.

Moin, hab mir die WS1 vor kurzem bei Thomann geholt und bin seid dem Mega zufrieden. Endlich kabellos, und mit einer super Qualität. Merke keinen unterschied oder irgend eine Verzögerung bei Spielen zum nervigen Kabel. Die WS1 sind so wie ich es mir gewünscht habe, klein, super Reichweite und passt auf jede meiner Gitarren auch bei meiner Ibanez Prestige S6570SK-STB die den Klinken Stecker schräg auf der Deck hat und dabei super flach aufliegt. Die WS1 sind echt Top und sehr leicht zu bedienen.
Fazit : Klein, super Reichweite, Günstig, sehr gute Verarbeitung, passt auf jede Gitarre und super leichte Bedienung. Für mich sind sie nicht "nice to have" sondern schon ein "must have" Daumen hoch, sehr zu empfehlen.

Le prix de la qualité
Claude122 12.09.2023
Je l'ai essayé avec une variété de basses actives et passives 5 cordes (ça marche même avec les Ibanez SR qui ont la prise jack coudée sur la table), d'amplis et de tables de mixage d'impédance d'entrée variées. Ca a toujours fonctionné. Le son est excellent. Pas de bruit de fond. La mise en marche est immédiate, il suffit d'appuyer sur le bouton marche/arrêt de l'émetteur et du récepteur. La batterie semble durer plus près de 6 heures que des 4 annoncées, au moins quand elle est neuve. Le boitier en plastique, le jack articulé... ce produit ne durera pas 40 ans, mais de toute façon la batterie ne se remplace pas donc au bout de quelques années ce sera fichu. Il sera alors temps de l'ouvrir pour voir si on ne peut pas bricoler un peu pour remplacer les batteries. En tout cas j'ai contacté Ibanez qui m'a dit qu'ils n'ont pas de batterie de remplacement, qu'ils ne proposent aucune référence de batterie tiers qui pourrait convenir. C'est pour ça que j'enlève une étoile. Aujourd'hui, avec ce qu'on sait sur l'évolution de la planète, proposer un objet avec une batterie qui ne se remplace pas c'est dommage, surtout que ce produit n'est tout de même pas donné. Je n'ai pas testé la portée de la liaison radio. Je ne sais pas ce qui se passe si plusieurs musiciens dans le groupe décident chacun de s'équiper de ce produit. On a droit à un petit sac en toile pour stocker l'émetteur et le récepteur mais c'est une fausse bonne idée car pour que ce soit pratique il aurait fallu pouvoir y stocker aussi le chargeur (non inclus) et le cordon (inclus). Pour ma part j'ai trouvé sur internet un petit étui rigide de 3.5 x 8.5 x 12 cm qui me permet de ranger le tout. Le temps de recharge est de plusieurs heures, quand la batterie est vide la liaison se coupe d'un coup, sans signe avant_coureur. On distingue mal l'émetteur du récepteur, aussi après m'être trompé plusieurs fois (sans dommage pour le produit) j'ai mis un autocollant rouge pour l'émetteur et vert pour le récepteur. En résumé, comme dit dans le titre, c'est pas le moins cher mais c'est le prix de la qualité.
