Fast Man....let me tell you my story
G10 is now a paper weight as it won't hold a charge even after updating. Been using the Boss WL-20, it's been great.
And just got my money refunded on Reverb because it wasn't ACTUALLY in stock. Poop.
I have played around with many wireless systems.
The most reliable recently have been 5.8 GHz units from Lekato or Ammoon via Amazon - I'm pretty sure they are made in the same factory, just a different "brand" slapped on. There may be a bunch of brands you will find that all offer up the same product, repackaged.
They last 5 or 6 hours on a charge (i.e. enough for a typical gig with warm up), don't interfere with wifis (yet?), and work with piezos.
The Xvive U2 units do have issues with piezos, including PRS piezos, especially at high gain - you can hear a whine. They were the first reasonably reliable wireless solution out there, but they have not kept up, and better and far cheaper solutions exist. The Donner wireless bugs I bought were supposed to be digital, but they seem to be analog in performance, very noise-prone, so boo to that false advertising.
The Line 6 G30 was my go-to wireless solution for years - I have two - but the smaller solution (that also does not involve a belt clip) of the "bugs" have been a much better implementation, IMHO.
The best solution of course varies by personal requirements, so as always, YMMV.
The Amazon one (Getaria) has worked great for 30 bucks, as Les said.I have played around with many wireless systems.

I used to go wireless, and while I loved the freedom to roam, I never had confidence that the tone was the same. I switched back to cables. And having used PRS Signature cables, I won’t compromise for anything less. They are more expensive, but well worth it. Very flexible and no tangles, plus they wind easily.
4 or 5 years ago, I bought a G10 wireless at Sweetwater GearFest (with Boogie as my enabler). I haven’t taken it out of the box. If you haven’t tried PRS Signature Cables, you owe it to yourselves to try one.
Do the PRS cables prevent stepping on them when they're connected to your pedalboard, and you go up to the mic to sing?
I'm incapable of hearing the difference. That being said, perhaps my ears are hooped after all this time.Trade offs for tone.

If the audience can hear the diff, then go for it. Kinda think that in a mix it's lost, but recording? Yeah... I can see that.Well.................I don't have the best ears. Maybe it's more of a confidence, in my head kind of thing. Maybe I want to be tethered to my amp (from my workers compensation loss control days ). .
Sorry I can't help on this one. Been a cable tripper since way back.

Yeah but you're getting old, so trips and falls can break stuff (hips, arms, etc.) You're welcome.
I'm looking at cables to tell "Mrs. Clause" I want...thanks for the heads up on the PRS signatures. I was just about to create a post asking about them.
Sorry to jack your post... @Aahzz
