Freedom but Connection Caution!
I received this excellent piece of kit, dutifully read the manual, and connected everything up and tried it out. It worked fine, until the 3.5 mm jack, which I had simply pushed in, pulled out of the bodypack. I pushed it back in firmly and got an intermittent signal. "Oh no, it will have to go back since it is clearly faulty" I told my band mates.
Fortunately, I then read the following by Arthur6176 who wrote a review called 'Just what I need' on 24.02.2015, in which he says, "The jack to the transmitter from the guitar is screw in so no chance of accidentally pulling it out"
What?
Oh yes, I had noticed a few tiny threads at the base of the 3.5 mm plug.
Sure enough, you have to push fit the plug as far as the threads, then screw the plug into the bodypack. This is great for making a secure connection, but is not at all obvious or standard.
There is nothing in the product description online, or indeed in the TWS One Guitar UHF Wireless System User Manual, to point out that the 3.5 mm jack connection into the bodypack is SCREW IN !!!
Thomman, please state it in the product description, or better still include a cover note with the product advising and warning buyers about how to make a proper connection.
Now, for the rest of the review. As others have said the signal is completely clean, and gives the freedom from being 'tethered' to an amp and effects boxes that every guitarist deserves. No more tripping when you need to talk to the drummer, singer, or dance about as you wander around the rehearsal room or stage.
The batteries that came with it only lasted an hour or so, but I changed them for 'drumming bunny' ones and then played for over 20 hours over three days with no sign of lack of power yet.
The price is extraordinary.
If you value your freedom, buy this now!

Flexibility for a fair price
I bougth this wireless system for live shows as wiring myself wasn't comfortable.
For this price i'm really satisfied as i were able to run around , jump up and down, turn over and so on.. you know, basic metal things to do.
Pros:
-The distance is really great. I tried it at our rehearsel room and on an a gamer event as well (where we had a small gig). I were able to walk 30 meters away without having any latency or distortion in the sound. (Even between 300 PCs and lot of networking electrics it was clear)
- Just plug in, attach, turn on, and there you go.
- a really good decision if you want to try wireless system, you aren't pro and you don't want to spend your money on a line6 for start.
Cons:
- batteries.. i always change batteries before a show.
- cable: the original jack cable is really thin. I try to protect it as much as i can. The 3,5 jack is special as it have a screw-in part to the transmitter. (But i think, if you know how to re-wire it , you can change the cable to a better one if it's get broken)
To sum it up:
i didn't regret this product. I enjoy the freedom and quality it gives, so we will have a great time together ;)

Wireless awesomeness
Sick of all that cable tangle i really was in need of a wireless solution for playing my guitar without pulling out the cable accidentally while jumping around. Playing Heavy Metal doesn't seem to be compatible with any cables at all.
Because of the small price i decided to try the t.bone tws one wireless-system. Although my expectation was as low as the the price i didn't regret the purchase. The system works fine. Very easy installation and a very well connection. The Sound quality is good and powerful. No output delay and a wide range.No signal-dropouts by now, very important for live performances.
Okay, to be honest the case is very cheap plastic and the battery needs to be replaced just after few hours. So it's not perfect, but very close to it.

Just what I need
The T Bone TWS One D does its job perfectly, I don't here any noise other than the guitar strings, has a long range more than I would ever use, it is quick and easy to set up with fool proof instructions,
The jack to the transmitter from the guitar is screw in so no chance of accidentally pulling it out, I use a digital delay pedal between the receiver and amp and it works perfectly,
It all comes in a neat case, and Thomann put a UK adapter in with the delivery free of charge, and it's a better adapter than I could buy in the UK,
For the price a great buy, without a doubt,

I hate guitar cables
Before reading the rest of my review, read the head ten more times so we are in the same mental playing field ;)
I always thought of guitar cables as one of those bad habits you see in your love partner... you hate it, but you can't live without your partner so you put up with it.
See where I'm going with this?
I've tried long long cables, short cables, light weight cables, "quality" cables and even those damn cables that come with the old style telephone wire!
Hated every last one of them... but I put up with it because I love the guitar and sometimes you just have to put the acoustic down and plug in to let the rock god monster thats lurking in your soul take a stroll in the audible universe!
Reading the other reviews I was a bit skeptical, I have been burned in the past by reviews... but with hope in my heart and unicorns on my brain I added this to my shopping cart and waited...
A few days later it arrived, so simple that like a typical man I never read the leaflet but simply plugged in and "checked it out".

amazing
i was talking to a friend about wireless guitar systems and he said he uses his to go out into the crowd when gigging and its great fun. So i decided that i would get one but i didnt want to go into crazy prices so i looked them up on lowest price on the search bar and i saw this one. At first i was a bit worried for 49 quid that it would be not as good as one for 100 quid but i have to say well done thomann you have made an amazing product for such a good product and it is amazing. I gave a good testing and it worked to 50 metres and probably more thats as far as i could go. But this product is amazing and i would hesitate to reccomend it to anyone. i absaloutely love it. thanks for reading

No need to pay out too much
Works really well i used this for a couple of open air gigs. If you're on a budget and don't care so much about using big brand stuff then get this. Seriously its really good and it has a fairly long enough range for a large stage.

Leisurely Playing
Perfect for a 54 year old who likes to plod away while sat on the sofa but has to put the amp upstairs out of the way in the mezzanine so to keep people happy. Agood 5m plus distance, wooden floor and iron work on the edge of the mezzanine, works with no problems. I recommend this to all who pick up the guitar and put it down again a few times during the course of an evening. an incredible price too!
PS Probably also works well on stage.

Wireless at last
Thomann you've done it again. Not only was this delivered to me in the UK in three days, but Cristina who handled the order had the foresight to put in an adapter so that I could use the equipment straight away, the power source has a continental plug but included free of charge was an adapter for the use in the UK.
Thank you Thomann and Cristina you really think about your customers.
Most of my musical purchases are bought from yourselves as the service is great.
Keep it up Thomann.
