Just like to add my two cents: I bought the S2 a few weeks back and finally got to try it out on a gig the other night. It worked perfectly! I was very impressed. No dropouts, and the audio came in nice and clear. It was also my first time using IEMs and I could hear things so well it almost felt like I was cheating somehow.
I just used the S2 yesterday for two big gigs, full rock band, with six instrument wireless transmitters on stage, two anleons s2 and one another IEM from another brand and everything worked just fine. I didn’t get any dropouts. The compressed sound thing does seem to be true, but nothing to get desperate about. And I didn’t even use it in stereo, but it was good. A month ago I used the lekato, small, very cheap one that you reviewed, and that thing just gave me loads of dropouts the whole gig. Not the case with the anleon s2. At least not for me and in my scenario. Thanks for the review, Scott! Been watching you for sometime! Keep on!
Wow that’s awesome! Glad they’ve worked out so well! Thanks for commenting your experience. I do think these can work well, and they will work. But with only 6 channels I would recommend the S3 for gigs with more wireless on stage. The Lekato MS1 definitely shouldn’t be for bands. More solo/duo or practice. Especially being on 2.4Ghz and without being able to change channels. And I’m glad to hear someone else has the same tone philosophy as me. “Eh, yeah it’s a little compressed but it gets the job done.” That’s definitely my mindset with great too 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic yeah, I do agree the S3 would offer a safer environment for sure. It was a concert for one thousand people or more, in the parking lot of a mall. So I think for the price it worked really well. The guys from the event had a bunch of shures and seinheisers to lend us, but I wanted to test the cheap stuff! Maybe we got lucky, maybe not. Definitely the S3 would have been a safer choice, but the S2 did work. Let’s see in the future how’s gonna go for other locations and situations. I’ll let you know!!!
I think this is the only channel that understands what "budget gear" means LOL I mostly ignore other channels and go straight to here for everything wireless, and Helix related ¯\_(°°)_/¯ (extra rambling: there is this channel aimed toward small churches. A specific video was showing budget gear for a small church. They started with a $2,000 Taylor acoustic LOL Our whole system at church is not $2000 LOL ok enough for now.. Thank you Sir!!)
I've been using the S2 since 2017, and it's a really good deal. It works perfectly fine for gigs, I run mine through a tiny mixer that sits in my rack so that I can control everything that gets into it and I've never had an issue. I play metal, and with my band we use a few of these, but we use different frequencies, eg. Mine is in the 500 something mhz range, my guitarist's is in the 670 mhz range, so we have no issue with interference. I highly recommend them. It doesn't make sense to spend so much money on a higher end system unless your band brings in a ton of money, and even then, it's good enough to hear yourself well.
@@ScottUhlMusic The only time it ever felt overloaded was when the entire band shared a mix and I have good Shure earbuds and my bassist was using crap tier earbuds and asking for more bass in the mix so we couldn't hear the vocals or keyboards at all. But if everyone has their own mix, or at least uses similar earbuds, not a problem at all. That one gig is what drove me to change my system (my bandmates were all piggybacking off my transmitter, they only bought receivers, so I sold them mine and I bought another set (still an anleon s2) in another frequency range, and I haven't had a problem since.) Now the guitarists and the bass player use the same set and never complain, I use mine (vocals+keyboards and guitar on some songs) and the drummer uses an S1. No issue at all. In another band we had another vocalist and she used her own unit as well and we never ran into any issues, with 2 sets in the 670-680 mhz range on different channels and mine in the 526-535 mhz range. Played a ton of shows, and never had any issues with interference either.
This is great. I'm a gigging musician in NYC and I'm about to put my first band together and I'm looking for a good In-Ear system to get started. I'm thankful that Anleon is making these products at such an affordable price range, so thank you for bringing these to our attention!
Thanks! Just keep in mind, the S2 CAN work for multiple receivers, but I do recommend the S3 for multiple musicians having their own mix. Again, that’s if you can afford it 🤘 best of luck with the band, and enjoy the iems!
Thank you. I never realized there were wireless systems in my price point. My music stores only carried the more expensive Shure and Sennheiser units and told me that the more affordable stuff was was "all crap". You are using the more affordable stuff at large concert venues and stages. A real eye opener.
The Shure and sennheiser stuff are definitely better. But the S3 is a really good competitor to them. Same with Phenyx Pro. The s2 is good for solo/duo/acoustic acts without a lot of wireless already there. But there is good cheap stuff out there
I appreciate you for making this video. You don't know how much this video has prolly helped a lot of musicians who are trying to get to wireless in-ear monitors. Very nice product presentation and in-depth analysis with pros and cons!! You are actually doing Anleon a favor just on this video alone. Sheeesh! More power to your channel mah brotha!!
Your channel has been very useful. We have been playing through main outs in our hall but are looking to step up and start using IEMs. We only have drums, bass, keys and vocalists. I've gained a much better understanding watching this series. Thank you!

Thank you for the crazy good content!
@@ScottUhlMusic Thank you, Started with the xvive system for a 5 piece metal band. We also put the kick triggers through the mixer. Its not the best live, but it is just ok for practice. Upgrading is very real for us, but we are having a hard time deciding what would work best for us. If you have any recommendations for the cheaper side of things I would gladly like to hear from what YOU would think is a better option. So far the Phenyx seems to be the best far from what I have watched, also many other channels seem to agree with you about it. 🤘💀 🤘
I sometimes use the Behringer version of the S1 (P1) with one project, and instead of dragging around XLR cables we thread the P1s onto mic stands and use (good) headphone extension cables with plenty of strain relief at the S1 (P1 for us). You could do the same with the wireless setup as a backup option in case you start getting a lot of interference.
Your vids have been exceedingly useful for me in getting my band up and running with our monitor world. A couple of the guys are pretty far behind the curve, tech-wise, so it's been nice getting down to earth info on backing tracks and monitoring solutions like this. I wanted to mention something for S1 users. Clever that the unit has a mic thread insert on it. I've found these clamps made by Gibraltar called the SC-DMM clamps that have a gooseneck thread on them. They can be mounted anywhere that can accommodate a small clamp and thread anything that takes those same threads. I think this would be a clever solution for that. I use these same clamps under-mounted on the ride and crash cymbals (and hi hat!) for the overhead mic holders so I don't use up a clunky mic stand next to the drummer to accommodate an overhead mic. Thanks again for your content! I'm already subbed.
I believe the s2 transmits audio as an analog signal, while most recent systems digitize the audio over the link. Such systems tend to have more hiss and interference and a lower SNR, but they are less expensive.
A thorough review. Thanks for your thoughts! Note for clarity that the S2 & S3 600Mhz and 800Mhz systems are not for use in the US because those frequencies are allocated for other uses, including TV, military use, etc. They MIGHT work if those frequencies aren't in the immediate vicinity of your event, but using them would be illegal according to the FCC. You didn't review the audio quality of the S1 or S2. Was it comparable to other headphone amps or IEMs? I assume at this price point, there might be some compromises that were made in order to make them less expensive to produce.
That is correct, and I’ve said that before in other videos on iems, so I probably should have included it into this one. But when you buy on Amazon, they should ship you the one that’s right for your country. And I did review the audio quality in this video. The s1 is great, but the volume was a tiny bit low. The s2 was good, but like it mentions on the website, it can overload a little easily. Which is why I like the s2 for solo/duo/acoustic trios, but the S3 I prefer for bands 👍
Thanks Scott. I found your channel just yesterday and watched more than 10 videos already. Thank you for reviewing all this stuff, I had found some great budget pieces of gear for my small home studio.
I was filling in for a band on Guitar in 2017, they had the most high tech P.A / IEM set up I had ever seen at the time, Presonus rack mixer, Sennheiser and Shure IEM’s etc, I bought an Anleon S2 and some KZ SZ5’s to get me going with an IEM set up and ended up staying in the band for two years using the S2 the whole time and it performed flawlessly. Total cost then for my budget system was $110 au.
I use a nice set of IEM when I play live and cheaper set for home practice. $90 is pretty effn sweet for what ya get! And yea, you can find absolutely killer ear buds on amazon for $20-$80. My $50 5 driver KZ buds i found on Amazon crushed my $100 Sure set in sound quality. Just upgraded to a 7 driver set for all of $70 and they're fantastic as well. Great review as always. I'm getting quite the collection of inexpensive things I don't need but couldn't pass on because the deal was too good thanks to this channel haha.
I have the m-vave and the S1. The M-vave is garbage, too soft, it is already broken. The S1 is great, the only cons is the wire (haha), and it seems to drain battery faster than I wish. Great reviews
With the help of some of your other videos I’ve been loading up my backing tracks and getting closer to dialing in a useable in-ear click and vocal monitor mix. Thanks again for all the great info! 🤘🏼
Thank you Scott, this is exactly the video I was waiting for to see if the product works for my band (it does). I like the way you explain things in all of your videos.
Detailed information as usual. Playing guitar and singing harmonies in a live situation with a hearing loss can be challenging, I’m definitely going to try this out.
Man, I don’t know if I could chose between the S3 and the PP ones. I would have to really compare and contrast those. PP has been battle tested because my singer and drummer use them at every gig, and I’ve also traveled with them before. S3 I used at multiple gigs but not as much as PP. Both are fantastic for their price point

Nice review Scott. Looking forward to the review on the ver. 3. I use the G3, also. I've reached out to Sennheiser and Sweetwater, etc., do you happen to have any insight on why the newer models have removed the 5 band EQ? Also, have you noticed on the G3 that the gain staging has to be just right or they don't really clean up until around 4 on the pack? Again, great reviews.
I didn’t know they removed the 5 band eq on the G4, that’s interesting! I don’t normally eq from my pack though, so that’s on for me. And I personally haven’t noticed that about the gain staging on the Sennheisers… but I mostly have digital mixers so every has already been set a long time ago and it’s just small adjustments from show to show
The S1 is the exact copy of the Behringer PowerPlay P1 that I have been using for years (rehearsals and gigs). A very good wired solution, except for the on/off button that is a bit too sensitive, I often gotit from my gigbag only to see that it drained the battery.
Thanks for this! I've been watching your videos over the last week. My Takstar WP-200 is dying after 5yrs of use. It gets ridiculous interference when the crowd is between the transmitter and the stage. The mixers are sometimes behind the crowd on some venues we play in, and i cannot use the IEM anymore 🤣 when the mixer is behind or beside the stage, interference is zero. Thanks for your reviews! It would be awesome to see different placements of the transmitters in your real life testing experiments 😁 I'm planning to replace the Takstar really soon so I'm interested in the next video of the S3!
Yeah the S3 or even the S2 would be a great upgrade! The S3 is worth it for sure if you can afford it. You’ll never be upset with having more channels 😊
Scott, thanks for another helpful video. Looking forward to seeing your next review. I recently acquired the Xvive U4 after watching your review of it, and it's been great.
Sad I missed this contest. Such a GREAT fucking video. Watched so many other videos and none really hit the points you made her, ESPECIALLY about the S3 model. CLUTCH information here. SUBBED!
Excellent review. Thanks. Never heard of this brand but this isn't the first brand you have introduced me too. Keep up the much appreciated hard work 🤘
Since the pandemic we've been switching over to DI's with HX Stomps and now we need to sell our amps and get on the wireless! Great tips. I'm thinking maybe and S1 for the drummer and S3's for the rest of the band. I need to binge the rest of your wireless videos first though!
Perfect timing, cant wait for the next review. 👍 been watching lots of your videos and appreciate your honest upfront approach. Its helped me out a lot 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic the price of xvive 1 receiver/transmitter is already equivalent to 1 transmitter and 3 receiver for Anleon 😁 And as you mentioned in your review of xvive that it has a 2.4ghz band
nice review scott🤟i've been learned a lot about wireless system since i first saw one of your video about wireless in ear system💥keep doing what you do and keep posting stuff like this it's very interesting and not a lot of people do thing like you do👊
Thank you for this video! I'm looking forward to use the S2 or maybe S3 for a talkback to a program host kinda situation. I wish if they have atleast 2 receivers. But i like how good it is
Great review, I’ve used the S2 many time a friend of mine let me use it for my duo, great for the price I was looking for one lately, and with the full band I’ll really check the S3 thanks man great advice from theses product
I have the P2 by behringer and did a video of it here: ruclips.net/video/qi7Uq-4w-9E/видео.html P2 is single input, where as the S1 is dual. So it just depends on what you need. Both are great
Looking forward to hearing about the S3! In particular I want to know how good the stereo separation is. I use fake guitar doubling to spread my sound out in stereo in-ears and if the separation is poor the guitar sounds phased, and terrible.
The S3 is quite awesome! I don’t really mention the stereo spread in the video, but it works really well. I was able to pan them and do the 1 transmitter 2 receiver option 👍
Thanks Scott, I'm new to your channel. I really enjoy your videos. I get to use in ear monitors at our church, which I love. I've been looking for an affordable/simple system for me to use with my side band which is how I came across your channel. Thanks for the reviews!
I've been looking to "upgrade" my wireless in ears and this sounds like a great option. I use quotes because my existing one is actually a $30 guitar system that has a headphone amp/aux in setup that lets me run it in reverse as in ears.
Hey Scott, very nice review. Question - does the P2 not have volume controls on the wireless receiver? I couldn’t tell if the On/Off also functioned as a Volume knob. It seems that would be a pretty big con if so.
Great reviews and finily someone talking about the possibility to have your own mix in headphones different from the mix going into the venue.I sing on a tracs and as I understud with S1 I would be able to control level of track and level of my voice in mono mode.I kind of think It is inconvinient to listen a mono track while singing, as you guess the singer can sing better if the music is stereo and sounds wonderful in the ears.I am curius where on mixer you pluggin these two XLR cables that goes into S1..Thank you in advance.
Another extremely informative video for us neophytes. I’ve been perusing the Anleon products because they were so inexpensive. Would the S2 be ok with a 3 piece band (guitar, bass, electronic drums) running backing tracks with 5.8Ghz wireless on instruments? Thanks so much for all of your help!
Thanks for this. I didn't realize I was in the market for something like this until seeing the review!! Maybe in-ears will stop my wife from complaining about the noise!!!
I only have this one, but in theory you can use up to 6 at once, but I wouldn’t recommend using more than 3. Get the S3 if you need more. There isn’t a way to rack it, but there are “rack shelves” that you can get and you Velcro it down 👍
Kimafun is more portable, which is nice. I do like that. But if you don’t care about being portable I like the S2 better, especially since it’s not on 2.4Ghz
Hi Scott: A very nice review. So, if we use S3, can we use more than one receiver with it? Will it serve all those receivers tuned to it? AND more importantly, will all those receivers would be receiving the SAME Mix sent by, say, the Mixer guys? Thanks a ton.
Yup that’s correct, and that’s true with the S2 as well. You can have as many receivers sharing the same mix if you are all set to the same channel as the one receiver 👍
Thanks Scotts for this review. It sounds good! I discovered your channel by searching for backtrack topics. And I took the opportunity to buy the Lekato MS 1 thanks to your video on it! I shared this channel to my band! And now everyone has a MS1. Sometimes, we have disturbance with 2.4gHz. So… I really need this giveaway 😅
Yeah, you definitely don’t want to use a bunch of MS1 hahaha and I mention that in the video specifically. I wouldn’t use more than 2 max. And even then, it’s not meant for full band shows (although it will work sometimes). The S3 would be a good one to look into for sure! But even just getting someone off of the MS1 and onto the S2 would be helpful for sure! Always limit your 2.4Ghz gear! 🤘
Hey Scott, loving the content. Been watching far too many of your videos the past few days! Trying to figure out the best way to get our four piece cover band onto IEMs. Quick question; the limited frequencies and needing to limit the number of users on this makes sense to me. I see they sell them in different frequency ranges though. Do you think it would be possible to get two of these on different ranges and have two users hooked into each? Thanks in advance!
Getting them on different frequency ranges definitely can help 👍 just make sure to also space them out and don’t have the antennas stacked on top of each other in a rack. I would watch this video: ruclips.net/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/видео.html Just be careful buying too much cheap wireless. A lot of people fall into that trap and it causes more issues than if you just save up a little more money for the good stuff
I've never used a nice wireless system. I recently tried the super cheap Levusu unit from Amazon. It definitely got the job done, but the sound quality wasn't great, not that I was expecting much. I usually use a wired in-ear solution, so the quality is not usually a problem. I think I'll progressively try others. Like the Anleon S2 and S3. The new Sennheiser XSW seems to be a really good value also.
@@ScottUhlMusic that's really interesting. The price point of the S3 is splitting the S1 and the XSW. I think $599 is a pretty good price for a name like Sennheiser. If S3 can compete it'll change a lot, in terms of competition.
@@RandallFlores86 Absolutely. I need to actually get my hands on the XSW to review it. If it has a scan feature, that's a HUGE help. But for half the price, to set it manually? I dunno. The XSW I'm sure will have more features than the S3. But the S3 is really solid!

I believe the s2 transmits audio as an analog signal, while most recent systems digitize the audio over the link. Such systems tend to have more hiss and interference and a lower SNR, but they are less expensive.
I've been looking to put a IEM system together for my band. Your videos have been a lot of help. Thanks man
Thanks! Glad to help 🤘
A thorough review. Thanks for your thoughts! Note for clarity that the S2 & S3 600Mhz and 800Mhz systems are not for use in the US because those frequencies are allocated for other uses, including TV, military use, etc. They MIGHT work if those frequencies aren't in the immediate vicinity of your event, but using them would be illegal according to the FCC.
You didn't review the audio quality of the S1 or S2. Was it comparable to other headphone amps or IEMs? I assume at this price point, there might be some compromises that were made in order to make them less expensive to produce.
That is correct, and I’ve said that before in other videos on iems, so I probably should have included it into this one. But when you buy on Amazon, they should ship you the one that’s right for your country.
And I did review the audio quality in this video. The s1 is great, but the volume was a tiny bit low. The s2 was good, but like it mentions on the website, it can overload a little easily. Which is why I like the s2 for solo/duo/acoustic trios, but the S3 I prefer for bands 👍
Great video. I’ve been using the S2 system for a while now(bassist). Works great in rehearsal and live. My drummer uses the S1 and that works great.
Thanks Scott. I found your channel just yesterday and watched more than 10 videos already. Thank you for reviewing all this stuff, I had found some great budget pieces of gear for my small home studio.
Awesome! Thanks for following the channel, and glad you’ve found it helpful 🤘
I was filling in for a band on Guitar in 2017, they had the most high tech P.A / IEM set up I had ever seen at the time, Presonus rack mixer, Sennheiser and Shure IEM’s etc, I bought an Anleon S2 and some KZ SZ5’s to get me going with an IEM set up and ended up staying in the band for two years using the S2 the whole time and it performed flawlessly. Total cost then for my budget system was $110 au.
Wow, that’s pretty impressive they survived that long! That’s awesome 🤘
This would be a step up from the other cheap wireless I bought after watching this channel! Thanks for all the advice.
I would say at $100, the S2 is the best one I’ve seen at this price point
@@ScottUhlMusic Your review makes it sound better than the Kimafun I got for our lead singer. I'm still working off a floor monitor.
I use a nice set of IEM when I play live and cheaper set for home practice. $90 is pretty effn sweet for what ya get! And yea, you can find absolutely killer ear buds on amazon for $20-$80. My $50 5 driver KZ buds i found on Amazon crushed my $100 Sure set in sound quality. Just upgraded to a 7 driver set for all of $70 and they're fantastic as well. Great review as always. I'm getting quite the collection of inexpensive things I don't need but couldn't pass on because the deal was too good thanks to this channel haha.
Hahaha glad to hear it! And yeah, for $100 you really just can’t beat this for sure (as long as you understand the limitations of course).
Thorough and to the point review, thanks Scott. Looking fwd to the S3 review
Thanks! The S3 video can be seen here: ruclips.net/video/4jvQx8U-N9E/видео.html
I have the m-vave and the S1. The M-vave is garbage, too soft, it is already broken. The S1 is great, the only cons is the wire (haha), and it seems to drain battery faster than I wish. Great reviews
With the help of some of your other videos I’ve been loading up my backing tracks and getting closer to dialing in a useable in-ear click and vocal monitor mix. Thanks again for all the great info! 🤘🏼
Awesome! Glad to help 🤘
Thank you Scott, this is exactly the video I was waiting for to see if the product works for my band (it does). I like the way you explain things in all of your videos.
Thanks! Glad you are finding the videos helpful!
Love this review. S2 is looking very possible for me. Waiting for the S3 review! Thank you. Keep them coming!
Thanks! And the S3 will be out next Tuesday :)
Crikey! First comment? Once again, thanks for the excellent review vid Scott👍🏼
First comment prize! 🏆 🤘
Detailed information as usual. Playing guitar and singing harmonies in a live situation with a hearing loss can be challenging, I’m definitely going to try this out.
Nice! Hope it works well for you 🤘
I'm digging your videos. This one is very timely- my band was discussing the need for IEMs just last night.
Nice! If it’s for your band, definitely watch the video on the S3! The s2 is meant more for practice or solo/duo/acoustic acts
Thanks scott, I also like your videos on wireless systems for guitar. I ended up buying the Lekato system.
Nice! Good choice with the lekato 🤘
Thanks Scott. Great review. Would love to see how the S2, Phenyx Pro unit, and the S3 compare.
Man, I don’t know if I could chose between the S3 and the PP ones. I would have to really compare and contrast those. PP has been battle tested because my singer and drummer use them at every gig, and I’ve also traveled with them before. S3 I used at multiple gigs but not as much as PP. Both are fantastic for their price point

@@ScottUhlMusic OMG thank you so much!
@@ScottUhlMusic I sent a message to you Facebook page. The music page not what looks to be your personal page.
Thanks, Scott, for reviewing this. I've been looking for a wireless IEM for small acoustic sets.
S2 would be great for that!
Sounds like a great analysis of that line. S2 would be great for practicing! Thanks man
You can gig with it as well, but I would recommend the S3 if you can afford it 🤘
Thank you Man
Always happy to see more budget-friendly options for in-ears! Great review!
Thanks!
Thanks for delivering such high quality and informative reviews. I always learn something worth remembering! 👍
Thank you!
@@ScottUhlMusic Hi - do you see the reply to my comment suggesting I've been picked as a winner? It is saying I should text a number to find out more using your channel image as bait. I assume it is a scam?
@@James_Gilchrist 100% a scam! I always include an example of the scam comments in the video, and I mention that in this one. Anyone who asks you for money or to reach out on WhatsApp is definitely a scam! Thanks for checking
@@ScottUhlMusic Thanks for the quick reply.
Thank you for the review. Looking forward to the S3 review.
Thanks! It will be out next week 🤘
Nice review Scott. Looking forward to the review on the ver. 3. I use the G3, also. I've reached out to Sennheiser and Sweetwater, etc., do you happen to have any insight on why the newer models have removed the 5 band EQ? Also, have you noticed on the G3 that the gain staging has to be just right or they don't really clean up until around 4 on the pack? Again, great reviews.
I didn’t know they removed the 5 band eq on the G4, that’s interesting! I don’t normally eq from my pack though, so that’s on for me. And I personally haven’t noticed that about the gain staging on the Sennheisers… but I mostly have digital mixers so every has already been set a long time ago and it’s just small adjustments from show to show
The S1 is the exact copy of the Behringer PowerPlay P1 that I have been using for years (rehearsals and gigs). A very good wired solution, except for the on/off button that is a bit too sensitive, I often gotit from my gigbag only to see that it drained the battery.
Very cool video! Looking forward to seeing the S3 video too!
It’s a good one! I’m stoked to release that one
Awesome video man! Always look forward to watching 👍🏽
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this! I've been watching your videos over the last week. My Takstar WP-200 is dying after 5yrs of use. It gets ridiculous interference when the crowd is between the transmitter and the stage. The mixers are sometimes behind the crowd on some venues we play in, and i cannot use the IEM anymore 🤣 when the mixer is behind or beside the stage, interference is zero.
Thanks for your reviews! It would be awesome to see different placements of the transmitters in your real life testing experiments 😁 I'm planning to replace the Takstar really soon so I'm interested in the next video of the S3!
Yeah the S3 or even the S2 would be a great upgrade! The S3 is worth it for sure if you can afford it. You’ll never be upset with having more channels 😊
@@ScottUhlMusic yea I'm excited to experience things beyond 6 channels hahaha🤣
Just getting into in ear monitors and looking for an affordable solution. Thanks Scott.
Glad to help! S2 is good for solo/duo/acoustic acts without a lot of wireless. S3 is great for bands
the s3 looks like a really good entry level stereo option!!
Absolutely!
Dang this price point is pretty amazing. Nice review!
It definitely is!
Scott, thanks for another helpful video. Looking forward to seeing your next review. I recently acquired the Xvive U4 after watching your review of it, and it's been great.
Nice! Yeah the U4 has been a really solid device!
Sad I missed this contest. Such a GREAT fucking video. Watched so many other videos and none really hit the points you made her, ESPECIALLY about the S3 model. CLUTCH information here. SUBBED!
Thank you!
My friend just got the S1, and I was looking for wireless. These would be a nice way to get going it it.
Excellent review. Thanks. Never heard of this brand but this isn't the first brand you have introduced me too. Keep up the much appreciated hard work 🤘
I like how they have all 3 versions, it’s really smart for sure! I’m liking what I’ve found with them so far 🤘
Since the pandemic we've been switching over to DI's with HX Stomps and now we need to sell our amps and get on the wireless! Great tips. I'm thinking maybe and S1 for the drummer and S3's for the rest of the band.
I need to binge the rest of your wireless videos first though!
Good options all around 🤘🤘
As always, love the channel! We are getting some nice choices in wireless these days!
thanks for thre help bro deffo gonna look at the S3 for the band im in
Perfect timing, cant wait for the next review. 👍 been watching lots of your videos and appreciate your honest upfront approach. Its helped me out a lot 👍
Just finishing it up and it will be out next week 🤘
Thankyou! This was an awesome find and thank you for going into detail on how you use it!
Great video, as usual, thnx for that. Looking forward to the S3 review.
Thank you!
Another great review! Waiting foir that S3! Good work! Thanks you Scoot!
Thank you!
Not sure if the giveaway is still going on, but your video on using Multitracker was just what I needed.
Thanks! Giveaway ended, but glad the video was helpful to you 🤘
I’m thinking of getting XVive but I’m just a hobbyist musician so I might consider this one.. thank you for the review
This one is cheaper 👍 xvive is more portable/battery powered so it depends on which you prefer. But both are great as a hobbyist
@@ScottUhlMusic the price of xvive 1 receiver/transmitter is already equivalent to 1 transmitter and 3 receiver for Anleon 😁
And as you mentioned in your review of xvive that it has a 2.4ghz band
I really appreciate the reviews and comparisons to other gear, keep it up!
Thanks Chuck!
nice review scott🤟i've been learned a lot about wireless system since i first saw one of your video about wireless in ear system💥keep doing what you do and keep posting stuff like this it's very interesting and not a lot of people do thing like you do👊
Thank you 😊
Sounds great for the price! I'd love to try it. Any tips for bands where everyone isn't using IEMs?
Thank you for this video! I'm looking forward to use the S2 or maybe S3 for a talkback to a program host kinda situation. I wish if they have atleast 2 receivers. But i like how good it is
Super cool the S2 is UHF. Might just wait to see if I win. I’ll definitely order one if not.
Uhf with 6 channels and only $100 is a great price point!
Thank you for your videos! My current IEM setup is based in your advice!
Awesome! Glad to hear that! Which one did you get?
Great review, I’ve used the S2 many time a friend of mine let me use it for my duo, great for the price I was looking for one lately, and with the full band I’ll really check the S3 thanks man great advice from theses product
Nice! Yeah that’s a perfect way to use the S2. And the S3 is GREAT for bands for sure. Thanks for the comment 🤘
Amazing! Looking forward to that review of the S3!
Have you ever tried the Behringer wired system and if yes, how does this S1 compare?
I have the P2 by behringer and did a video of it here: ruclips.net/video/qi7Uq-4w-9E/видео.html
P2 is single input, where as the S1 is dual. So it just depends on what you need. Both are great
Informative video. Thanks Scott!
Thanks Dennis 🤘
Looking forward to hearing about the S3! In particular I want to know how good the stereo separation is. I use fake guitar doubling to spread my sound out in stereo in-ears and if the separation is poor the guitar sounds phased, and terrible.
The S3 is quite awesome! I don’t really mention the stereo spread in the video, but it works really well. I was able to pan them and do the 1 transmitter 2 receiver option 👍
Thanks Scott, I'm new to your channel. I really enjoy your videos. I get to use in ear monitors at our church, which I love. I've been looking for an affordable/simple system for me to use with my side band which is how I came across your channel. Thanks for the reviews!
Awesome! Glad to help 🤘 IEMs are one of the best investments as a musician imo
@@ScottUhlMusic I agree!
Great video as always Scott 👍
Thanks Bill!
I've been looking to "upgrade" my wireless in ears and this sounds like a great option. I use quotes because my existing one is actually a $30 guitar system that has a headphone amp/aux in setup that lets me run it in reverse as in ears.
Yeah the S2 will definitely be a great upgrade for sure
Interesting review, thanks Scott.
Thanks 🤘
Neat! I'm gonna check out the S1
Good choice Jon! 🤘
Hey Scott, very nice review. Question - does the P2 not have volume controls on the wireless receiver? I couldn’t tell if the On/Off also functioned as a Volume knob. It seems that would be a pretty big con if so.
The S2? Yeah the knob controls the volume 👍
Great reviews and finily someone talking about the possibility to have your own mix in headphones different from the mix going into the venue.I sing on a tracs and as I understud with S1 I would be able to control level of track and level of my voice in mono mode.I kind of think It is inconvinient to listen a mono track while singing, as you guess the singer can sing better if the music is stereo and sounds wonderful in the ears.I am curius where on mixer you pluggin these two XLR cables that goes into S1..Thank you in advance.
Keep the great videos coming!! Thank you!
Thanks!
Awesome review!!!! Very useful thanks so much
Another extremely informative video for us neophytes. I’ve been perusing the Anleon products because they were so inexpensive. Would the S2 be ok with a 3 piece band (guitar, bass, electronic drums) running backing tracks with 5.8Ghz wireless on instruments?
Thanks so much for all of your help!
In most cases I would say yes that should be fine. S3 will be better for bands but the S2 would work. It might “squash” the sound a little
Cool! More affordable, usable in ear systems are never a bad thing.
Definitely 🤘 thanks man!

@@leesbassment6393 🥒🥒🥒
Thanks for this. I didn't realize I was in the market for something like this until seeing the review!! Maybe in-ears will stop my wife from complaining about the noise!!!
Hahahah that definitely helps a lot!
Thanks for this video. You are so clear to explain. Do you know if it's possible put in on a rack? Have you tried more than one working together?
I only have this one, but in theory you can use up to 6 at once, but I wouldn’t recommend using more than 3. Get the S3 if you need more. There isn’t a way to rack it, but there are “rack shelves” that you can get and you Velcro it down 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks for your comment!
Great detailed review as usual, thanks!
Thank you!
Thanks for the great content Scott!
Thanks!
Great video as usual! Thanks for the info!
Thank you 😊
Great review!!! The only thing stopping me from buying one right now is the thought I might win... LOL!
😂 haha, it’s possible! Best of luck 🤘
Awesome video! I love these reviews. You’re so thorough! Hell yes I’d love to get my hands on one 😂
Thanks! You are entered into the contest. Best of luck! 🤘
Thx bro!!
Loved the wireless option. I find it useful to be used by a drummer and a Singer at the same time. That could save some money to both haha!
Yup! That’s a great way to save money on iems 🤘
Great job Scott, you always amaze me with your cheap finds. How does this compare with the kimafun wireless units. Kinda considering an upgrade
Kimafun is more portable, which is nice. I do like that. But if you don’t care about being portable I like the S2 better, especially since it’s not on 2.4Ghz
Hi Scott: A very nice review. So, if we use S3, can we use more than one receiver with it? Will it serve all those receivers tuned to it? AND more importantly, will all those receivers would be receiving the SAME Mix sent by, say, the Mixer guys? Thanks a ton.
Yup that’s correct, and that’s true with the S2 as well. You can have as many receivers sharing the same mix if you are all set to the same channel as the one receiver 👍
Really diving in to this stuff lately.
Enjoy the journey! 🤘
Thanks Scotts for this review. It sounds good! I discovered your channel by searching for backtrack topics. And I took the opportunity to buy the Lekato MS 1 thanks to your video on it! I shared this channel to my band! And now everyone has a MS1. Sometimes, we have disturbance with 2.4gHz. So… I really need this giveaway 😅
Yeah, you definitely don’t want to use a bunch of MS1 hahaha and I mention that in the video specifically. I wouldn’t use more than 2 max. And even then, it’s not meant for full band shows (although it will work sometimes). The S3 would be a good one to look into for sure! But even just getting someone off of the MS1 and onto the S2 would be helpful for sure! Always limit your 2.4Ghz gear! 🤘
Yes Scott, you are right! And I did well understand your caution. But my band did not ! 😂
Great reviews I always learn new things from you thanks a lot 💕
Thanks Sion!
Cool stuff, thanks Scott
Thanks for watching!
Hi Scott...always so helpful. Thanks for all you do. Would you recommend the Anleon S3 or the Xviv U4 for live performance?
S3… although the U4 is more portable, and quite reliable in my experience. If you don’t have other 2.4Ghz wireless, the U4 is really good too
@@ScottUhlMusic S3 seems to be hard to find in stock right now. Probably because of your video :). Thanks so much for your work...and the quick reply.
Was looking into this brand. Thanks for the video review!!!
Thanks for watching!
THANKS!!!! Just texted you.
@@PaulJBaccash THAT IS A SCAM! Please do not send them money! I mention this very specifically in the video. Please do not respond to scammers!
@@ScottUhlMusic Ah. Thanks for the heads up. He has a RUclips page with your picture.
Yeah that’s how the scammers do it. They put my picture, and then my name followed by a WhatsApp. That’s always a scam. On ANY RUclips page
Hey Scott, loving the content. Been watching far too many of your videos the past few days! Trying to figure out the best way to get our four piece cover band onto IEMs. Quick question; the limited frequencies and needing to limit the number of users on this makes sense to me. I see they sell them in different frequency ranges though. Do you think it would be possible to get two of these on different ranges and have two users hooked into each? Thanks in advance!
Getting them on different frequency ranges definitely can help 👍 just make sure to also space them out and don’t have the antennas stacked on top of each other in a rack. I would watch this video: ruclips.net/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/видео.html
Just be careful buying too much cheap wireless. A lot of people fall into that trap and it causes more issues than if you just save up a little more money for the good stuff
@@ScottUhlMusic That's awesome, thanks for the response!
I've never used a nice wireless system. I recently tried the super cheap Levusu unit from Amazon. It definitely got the job done, but the sound quality wasn't great, not that I was expecting much. I usually use a wired in-ear solution, so the quality is not usually a problem.
I think I'll progressively try others. Like the Anleon S2 and S3. The new Sennheiser XSW seems to be a really good value also.
The S3 video is coming out next week and I definitely think it’s meant to compete with the sennheiser systems 🤘
@@ScottUhlMusic that's really interesting. The price point of the S3 is splitting the S1 and the XSW. I think $599 is a pretty good price for a name like Sennheiser. If S3 can compete it'll change a lot, in terms of competition.
@@RandallFlores86 Absolutely. I need to actually get my hands on the XSW to review it. If it has a scan feature, that's a HUGE help. But for half the price, to set it manually? I dunno. The XSW I'm sure will have more features than the S3. But the S3 is really solid!
