We have the Ring wireless. It rings on you phone so if you have your phone with you you can hear it around the house. It also can ring an existing door chime though we have found that you can't hear the door chime in the back off the house. You can add wireless chimes to any outlet and that way you can hear it anywhere in your house even if you don't have your phone with you.
One inconvenience is that it is not as fast as a wired doorbell which rings immediately when the button is pushed, so it takes a few seconds for the chimes to respond to a ring.
One thing it can do that regular wired doorbell can't it that it can warn you when someone is just approaching your door. However it may also send an approach warning when a vehicle goes by your house.
You can also see who is at your door but that also has a delay before you can see the image.
It also records who comes up to your door so even if you are away from home you can, for example, see when UPS delivers a package.
It depends on a wireless network. How well and reliable it is depends a lot on how good you wireless end point covers your house.
Overall though we like it.
