Great Low Cost Monitoring Solution

I read all the review before buying these. Most were good with a few outlying bad reviews so I took a chance and ordered 4 transmitters and 4 receivers. "What do you think of them" you may ask. I love them. I LOVE THEM! The sound quality is excellent. And they have an excellent build quality - metal casings and a really good, strong belt clip. For the price, I don't see how you could go wrong. Issues?: The only issues I've had - (and these could have been bad at a gig, but fortunately I gave them a thorough test in my practice room) if the transmitters are too close to each other (practically touching) they interfere with each other. But this is not exclusive to the Xvives, this can happen with any 2.4G wireless device. Also, if the transmitters are too close to the antenna of my SoundCraft UI24R, they will cause wifi dropouts to my iPad. Again, this is not something that's exclusive to the Xvives, ANY wifi antennas can and will interfere with each other if they are too close to one another. Plus, anyone who owns a SoundCraft UI24R knows the onboard wifi isn't the best anyway. It's ALWAYS better to use an external 5G wireless router. I only bring these two issues up because most of the complaints I see about this product are regarding wifi and dropouts. As far as the system as a whole, I couldn't be happier. and it's easy enough to "work-around" the interference with the mixer. Either; 1) run and external wireless router at 5G and turn off 2.4G, 2) or maintain about a foot separation between the Xvive transmitters and your wireless router. The Xvives are super easy to configure, have a volume knob so you don't have to bug the sound man if you just need to turn up or down a bit. And the batteries last a long time. We have had two practices that went over 5 hours and the Xvives kept working. If you need a lower cost in-ear monitoring solution, give them a try!

Great IEM receiver but doesn't work with some IEMs

I really like the freedom of just clipping the receiver to my belt or guitar strap and plugging n a set of IEMs. The sound quality is great, and I have had zero connectivity issues. The main issue I have with this unit is that the 3.5mm headphone jack on the receiver is really tight, so tight that 2 out of 4 IEMs can't be inserted into the receiver. I recently purchased a set of Soundbrenner Wave IEMs and they will not fit. I measured the fat part of the 3.5mm jack and found that the Wave jack is 3.4mm and the ones that I have that fit are 3.3mm. So it's not that the Wave jack is made too large but the Xvive receiver jack is too small. With this issue, I can only give them 3 stars. They work great when you can get them connected but it may take you a few tries to find an IEM that will work with it

    I'm a drummer on the worship team at church. I got tired of my IEM cord getting stuck on the music stand while playing. I was looking for a wireless IEM device that wasn't outrageously expensive. I saw the Xvive U4 and read the reviews. It works fantastic! I plug the transmitter into the headphone jack on the monitor and my IEM's into the receiver. it's that simple. The sound quality Is even better than when I was plugged directly into the monitor. Definitely a worthwhile investment.

  • Great product so far

    I play drums in a 4 pc band with bass, guitar and synths. Worked well in a couple band rehearsals so far. No issues connecting. Stayed paired very well, no issues with latency or dropping. Just need to get in the habit of recharging between sessions. Looking forward to using these on shows.

    As a rookie to in-ears, it took a while to get used to, but they were great. clean sound, plenty of volume, and I appreciate the adapter that allows conversion from XLR to TRS. I have actually used these to send audio from PA systems in my streaming business too. Range is average for that.

  • Fantastic IEM system makes good perfomances great.

    The Xvive U4 offers inexpensive, great quality access to the world of In Ear Monitoring. Playing venues of varying size and quality is often a gamble regarding monitors. With the U4, i get only what I need in my ears. Our 3 part harmonies went from pretty good to great instantly, and I can hear my solos without being forced to stand in one spot. On larger stages, I leave one ear in so I can still get the ambiance AND the crucial elements of my monitor mix without feeling "cut off". On smaller stages, I'm no longer deafened by cymbals shredding my ear drums. Highly recommend. Our whole band has them now. #sweepstakes

    I have a Fishman Loudbox Mini amp where I can plug both my guitar and mic into. Will this work if I plug it into the D.I. Output in the back of the unit?

    Open Reply - Thomas
    No. The DI is an Output. The 1/4" input is for a guitar. (Instrument) The XLR input is for a mic. (Mic)
