Are you interested In Protecting your $200-$1000 investment with a whopping price of $15? If your not, then come back to this article after it breaks from falling off the strap, impact, sweat damage, moisture, the vigorous touring conditions, etc.
I have had a long history with wireless guitar systems. Believe it or not, 3 of them broke due to my sweat. One of my transmitters broke from flying off my strap while doing some spin move. It managed a way to slide off of the electrical tape I was using at the time to hold my transmitter on the bass strap.
Like I said in one of my previous articles, there’s a massive part of me that despises myself for not knowing about the $15 Neotech Wireless Pouch on Amazon sooner. However, it was probably meant to be, since it did take me later on in life to find my favorite wireless guitar system.
Here is a video of one of the times my wireless died by sweat damage.
I had to scramble to plug in my cable. At first thought, it was a typical dropout. However, when I tried it the next day, it still wasn’t working. I also noticed how drenched the transmitter was after the show. When I took it to the store the next day, they thought it was typical water damage.
To be fair, I was using a wireless guitar system that did not have a conventional transmitter that attaches to the strap. Therefore, I was not able to use the Neotech Wireless Transmitter even if I knew about it. The other two wireless guitar systems that broke from sweat did have a conventional transmitter that attached to my strap.

What is The Neotech Wireless Pouch?
The Neotech Wireless Pouch is basically a Pouch that attaches to your strap by Velcro and Elastic Grippers that holds your wireless transmitter. It can also be used to keep your in-ear monitor receiver or headset receiver transmitter.
It is straightforward and self-explanatory to use. The pouches come in 2 sizes; small and medium. We made a list below for which sizes will fit snugly for your wireless transmitter below. There is a Velcro strap to access your transmitter quickly.
I personally tape mine with electrical tape just in case. But to be completely honest, it’s not needed, nor have any of the reviews claimed problems with it sliding around or falling off. This pouch is the absolute best investment for protecting your wireless.

Wireless Systems Not Compatible With A Neotech Wireless Pouch
All Combination Plugs and a few more wireless guitar systems are not Compatible with the Neotech Wireless Pouch. The Combination plug is basically a mini transmitter or receiver that has a quarter-inch attached to it. It is not the typical transmitter that connects to the strap using a separate cable to plug into your instrument.

Pros and Cons Of The Neotech Wireless Pouch
Pros
Protects from sweat damage
Protects from moisture damage (for those who play outdoor gigs near a beach or in high humidity)
Protects from impact (Dear metalheads, once you leave the stage to play in the pit… if you forget your helmet….just know…..your wireless is a bit more protected)
Stops the wireless from sliding/falling off
Protects wireless from Dust
Holds wireless firmly in place (All the behind the back solos you wish)
Abnormally cheap for such a useful accessory
Works With Just About any Strap
Cons
For some wireless transmitters, the on and off switch may be less accessible. You may have to take the wireless partially or fully out of the pouch to turn it on or off.
Some reviews claim every few years it comes apart. (has not happened to me)
How The Neotech Wireless Pouch Makes Changing Instruments Easier.
If you want to have an easy swap of instruments using one wireless transmitter, the cheapest and most effective way to do so is by attaching one pouch to each of your guitar/bass straps.
This is significantly cheaper than buying an entire wireless system for each instrument or buying a separate transmitter for each guitar/bass.
Neotech Wireless Pouch For In-Ear Monitors/Wireless Headset Transmitters
In-ear/vocal headset transmitters need protection from moisture, impact, and dust as well. So if you’re a dancing singer…..Or your just a singer who sweats a lot from singin…. Or anybody else in the band who uses in-ear transmitters in general; then I highly recommend protecting your investment with this pouch.
Sweat damage is one thing, but transmitters can be ruined by too much moisture as well. For those who play on an outside humid day or near a beach, then you may want to consider the Neotech Pouch to protect your wireless.
Are There Other Wireless Pouches to Consider then the Neotech?
Yes, there are other wireless pouches to consider other than the Neotech. I have not used or tested the other wireless pouches. However, to name a few along with the overall ratings and reviews on them.
Levy’s Leather MM4 Wireless Reciever Holder – From what I can tell based upon the picture and videos of this unit, it does not seem to wrap around the entire wireless transmitter fully. This transmitter will work best for those who have a levy strap, and they are strictly looking for a pouch to hold the transmitter in securely, so it doesn’t fall. However, in my opinion, it’s not the best choice for those who want full protection from sweat damage. Yet, there are many great reviews on this Pouch!
The Neotech Wireless Pouch was the best $15 music investment in my life to protect my $400 wireless guitar system. Don’t take my word for it, check the Neotech Wireless Reviews on Amazon.
