I know it's loud. Don't know if it's loud enough though. I don't know anyone with hearing problems to check this. Anyone here in the comments section has anything to say on this?
This is the best video review I have ever seen in my life. I don't even need an In-Ear System, but I want to buy this now. This is how good this video is.
Oh wow! This is how all reviews should be, covering pretty much every detail you'd expect and even ones that you don't even expect. I know this must've taken ages to put together so thank you for the effort
Wow I'm just a drummer about to make a decision on this system. Your video is the most informative yet a bit techy but very useful for our sound team who's considering making an intelligent decision purchasing this ear monitoring system. Thanks!
Regardless of WiFi signals from other types of devices, 20:25 is a single demonstration of 1 configuration of channels between mic & IEM systems. In my experience, using xVive's mic system & their IEM system at the same time results in at least 1 mic not working, especially if there are multiple systems used with multiple mics. I checked with the vendor, & they explained this is because the Xvive transmitter & receiver antennae are just too close together when they're plugged into the board - & it's silly to plug each one into a different XLR cable just to space them out far enough. While I'm keeping their wireless mic systems, this week I'm returning their IEM system to exchange for a traditional 900 mHz IEM system that has more than twice as many channels to choose from.
You give a very thorough review of whatever it is you're reviewing. I have used the xvive for guitars but never wireless microphones or in-ear monitor. Thank you for the heads up on all of this
Excellent review! I bought one and I'm waiting to recieve it due to international shipping times. But to cope with my anxiety I keep watching reviews haha. Greetings from Uruguay!
Detailed as usual, amazing job by-the-way. You managed to answer all my questions and some that I didn't even know I needed to ask. Thank you for this!
Now this is a review! such detail. I bought one, and I'm pretty impressed, but haven't really had to use it while multiple wireless units were being used so we will see!
Just saw this detailed review (2 years later), and I must say that if "Review Awards" someday exist, you'll be an indisputable winner !!! That speaks to me all the more that I own a Soundcraft UI24R mixer... And about the fact that it’s only a mono unit, last month I asked on XVive Facebook page if they project a stereo/dual mode model IEM, and their response was : « We have plan for this stereo version »... COMING SOON ?... 😜
Very informative. Thanks. I’ve been seriously researching this product and this has really answered all of my questions. On another note, your english is very good. Have a great day. 🤘🏻
I just bought a set for my first IEM's and already was excited, this review has me even more stoked! I definitely recommended my other band members to buy a set of their own so they have their own mixes live. Thanks man! You're great!
just picked up the u4 system. thanks for testing all the worst case scenarios and misuse cases. if it can survive that than using it normally should never be an issue.
Great attention to detail! I just got the U4/T9 package as a birthday present from my wife. I have not tried it out. I'm hoping the 2.4 GHz issue isn't too problematic. I will try to have the transmitter near me via an XLR cable from the snake return. It's a bit overwhelming.
I am totally knew to this type of monitoring system Thanks for taking your time to make my life so much easier when dealing with the hook up. I'm a solo singer/guitarist, so I think this system will serve my purpose perfectly! I'm using a simple Mackie Pro FX12 Version 2 and an HK Polar 10 column. Where should I connect the transmitter? ........ to the headphone jack or monitor out to get best results. (I'm revealing just how little I know about this new venture.) Thanks again for the awesome video!
Sure! Because the output provides a line level audio signal which is much stronger than what a mic produces. So, to avoid clipping the input sensitivity of the transmitter shall be matched with the audio source
Great Review MAX! One band that I manage the audio system for has just bought two U4 IEMs, and the mixer is a Soundcraft UI24R. This was the first issue I was concerned with, the typical 2.4GHZ transmitter. I have been wanting to change the UI24 settings to 5GHZ for many Months, now we will need to. Thank you for this review.
Wow what a review ! Thank you for all this work I think you can add to the cons list that it does not have an integrated limiter which seems a bit scary Is there any solution about this issue that I might not know about ?
Excellent review! Great detail. I put a digital system together for my band due to my failure to protect my hearing for most of my life, (tinnitus). I use the u4 system along with custom in-ears. My band is loud and some members are stubborn with stage volume. Last gig I experienced some sort of clipping, highs going in and out, like a dirty volume pott. I am technologically challenged and it’s probably a miracle that as a drummer I even put together this sound system. Can excessive volume on stage make this clipping happen? Again, thanks for the great video.
Well done, and thorough! I just ordered one, should be here tomorrow. Hoping it works as expected but you intrigued me with running the cable to the singer (in my case sax player/singer) location, do you just leave the unit on the floor, or hang it from the mic stand? I use a wireless mic on the sax, and at times have the receiver at my feet, other times it's by the sound board, depends upon the band I am with. Looking forward to testing it out. thanks!
I have a problem with my device , the reciever and transmitter only connect to each other witlhin a distantie of 4 inch further they disconnect. Do you know what the problem may be ....
Best review i've seen on this! One question: I read it has no built in limiter. How important/dangerous is this issue? (Especially when other wireless devices could cause interferences with the signal.)
Thanks. Right, no limiter. Do you mean the interference may sometimes cause loud pops? It's probably 1 time out of 100 dropouts. So generally if you see the connection is stable and there are no tons of dropouts, it should be fine. Although, once in a while I have experienced loud pops with U3 on stage during the soundcheck. Never during the gig
@@MaxSoloMusic Yes, maybe loud noises due to picking up other signals. Don't have more expensive in ear systems (like Shure) for these kind of reasons the limiter in their receiver packs? Or is the limiter only built into the sending unit? The point is, I am looking for a convenient in ear system to plug into just my bass amp, to hear myself clearly in rehearsals (instead of just using hearing protection) and for smaller gigs. But the fact that there would be no limiter in the line holds me off :/
I have one question is it possible to use xvive U2 and xvive U4 to play and monitor an electric guitar connecting both wireless systems on an audio interface? I mean to practice at home but without cables.
Hi thanks for the explanation, can you please clarify, the mono when listening, is it mono both sides, or listening to your mix or instrument in one side?
hey so i have some questions. whats the max number of receivers that can connect into 1 transmitter? i think its 6 but if im wrong correct me. and do we have to have wifi to run these? my band does alot of desert shows and there out in the boonies. thanks again for this video!
Great review mate. Are you getting the monitor mixes from the app or the mixer? I’m trying to set up a recording and monitoring rig for my lads band, using an Ipad and an 8 input audio interface. I can get the main mix out to headphones easy enough but cant find a way of doing individual mixes. Any ideas?
Thanks. The mixer does that. We're really happy with this particular piece of gear. There are enough aux outputs. We use one of them for subwoofers and the rest are used for monitoring
Is this system loud enough for a hearing impaired musician to use?
I know it's loud. Don't know if it's loud enough though. I don't know anyone with hearing problems to check this. Anyone here in the comments section has anything to say on this?
This is the best video review I have ever seen in my life. I don't even need an In-Ear System, but I want to buy this now. This is how good this video is.
This is definitely how a proper review is done!
Oh wow! This is how all reviews should be, covering pretty much every detail you'd expect and even ones that you don't even expect. I know this must've taken ages to put together so thank you for the effort
I didn’t skip a single second, amazing review
Wow I'm just a drummer about to make a decision on this system. Your video is the most informative yet a bit techy but very useful for our sound team who's considering making an intelligent decision purchasing this ear monitoring system. Thanks!
Again, just like my comment in your other video, this is how a review should be done. Nice!
Hi! Thank you so much for the great review, you waved my doubt and bought xvive U4R2 because of you. Cheers. - Venzon from Philippines
Your disassembly is what helped me decide on this product! I'm all about servicing and maintaining equipment.
What a nice product!! You show it with so much talent!! Video, sound, information, edition... Congrats!
Best review about this unit until now! Top!

Great review ... great honesty ... Very good Max!
Excellent video. Your information I accurate and there is no unnecessary talking. Keep up the great work.
This is the best description of anything I've seen. You came up with scénarios i was wondering about but thought no one would ever cover,, thank you
Really great video. Very detailed tests. Thank you! Subscribed. 😃

thank you for your detailed review Max, helpful
I just got this unit. Other members of the band are using them. Haved used it yet.
I appreciate your review. I bought a U4 sight unseen and after your review i feel confident it will meet my needs
Great review, I have the UI24 and U4, I've found a 1.5 metre patch is best to avoid wifi blocking the UI24
You take things apart??!!! Subscribed!!!!!!
Very informative. Thanks. I’ve been seriously researching this product and this has really answered all of my questions.
On another note, your english is very good.
Have a great day. 🤘🏻
Excellent review. Wasn’t sure to buy it, but I think it would be perfect for rehearsals and small gigs.
Great review, probably going to get these.
I just bought a set for my first IEM's and already was excited, this review has me even more stoked! I definitely recommended my other band members to buy a set of their own so they have their own mixes live. Thanks man! You're great!
This is the most indepth and honest review. Thanks 😊
just picked up the u4 system. thanks for testing all the worst case scenarios and misuse cases. if it can survive that than using it normally should never be an issue.
thanks about the aux and line switch wasnt sure
Great attention to detail! I just got the U4/T9 package as a birthday present from my wife. I have not tried it out. I'm hoping the 2.4 GHz issue isn't too problematic. I will try to have the transmitter near me via an XLR cable from the snake return. It's a bit overwhelming.
We've got the same mixer (Ui24r), it's a beast of a mixer! :P
Great review, very exhaustive!!
Your video is what I needed, thanks!
WOW!!!! VERY USEFUL EXPLAIN .THANKS SUCH AS FOR EXELLENT AND IMPORTANT DETAILS AND INFORMATION.VERY GOOD!!!!
Amazing review as always. Do u have anything similar to recommend that's stereo and has similar size?
Great review. Thanks for it. :-) think this could be it for our band-start
Спасибо, Макс! Люблю твои обзоры. Всё чётко, ясно и по делу, без лишней болтовни и жевания соплей
Excellent video, well explained
Шикарный обзор! Попробую потестить несколько вместе )
Excellent review! Bought one. Very thorough and detailed. Great job 👍

Thanks again for the awesome video!
Excellent review. WAAAAY better than i would be able to do 😊 Thanks very much!
That was a really great product review. Thank you!
Thanks for a great review. Can you explain why you set the transmitter to LINE when plugging into the AUX output at 6:58?
Sure! Because the output provides a line level audio signal which is much stronger than what a mic produces. So, to avoid clipping the input sensitivity of the transmitter shall be matched with the audio source
@@MaxSoloMusic So the AUX setting is used when the input signal is coming from a low level output such as a headphone jack, correct?
Great Review MAX! One band that I manage the audio system for has just bought two U4 IEMs, and the mixer is a Soundcraft UI24R. This was the first issue I was concerned with, the typical 2.4GHZ transmitter. I have been wanting to change the UI24 settings to 5GHZ for many Months, now we will need to. Thank you for this review.
Nice, unbiased feel to this. This pushed me over the edge to order one. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Awesome review Max.....Thanks
Very nice and thorough review!
Thanks for watching
Great informative video, thank you! Would this wireless system be suitable for drummer/percussionists?
excellent review. concise. thorough and straight forward. thank you!
very useful video and i thank you for it. it gives me confidence that this system would be perfect for me as a single performer.
Glad it was helpful!
Can you use the transmitter from the xvive mic kit with this receiver??
Good video! Justo lo que buscaba, lo explicaste todo! Thank you!
Where's your video with stereo IEM setup you mentioned? Can't see it anywhere in your channel.
Great video! Thank you for this info!
Excellent review!! Thanks man.
Wow what a review ! Thank you for all this work
I think you can add to the cons list that it does not have an integrated limiter which seems a bit scary
Is there any solution about this issue that I might not know about ?
So if I get it right. Using 6 of them fot a Band of 6 people wouldn't be that great?
Respect fot the review, you answered all the questions I had.
amazing video you are the best
Brilliant explaining.
Great video!!!!

Отличный обзор, только почему не проверил расстояние, на котором он может работать? Видел в отзывах люди писали, что работает максимум на 9 метров.
Do you recommend for singers to hear ourselves, and some of the backing track , how can I make this happen. Thanks
Thank you. This was very helpful
Very informative and in detailed
This was such a great review!
Hi Max. What IEM ear piece do you use? Thanks
Best vid around
Great review!
Thank you for the information . As always, very through!
Awesome review! Do you know if U4 is cross compatible with U3D ?
Great review
Thank you Max! Great review!
Hi Max.. Great shovel of pleasure review as usual buddy..
Nice :) Thanks!
This was absolutely excellent, thank you very very very much!
Thank you so much 🙏❤
thank you! this is very helpful
Wow your awesome took it apart heheh crazy setups
fab and comprehensive review. great job
Thanks for watching
@@MaxSoloMusic PS just bought one for black friday - was on offer for €160...
I have a problem with my device , the reciever and transmitter only connect to each other witlhin a distantie of 4 inch further they disconnect.

I have the Xvive U4 but when I separate the receiver from the transmitter the wifi light goes off amd I lose connection
Hi thanks for the explanation, can you please clarify, the mono when listening, is it mono both sides, or listening to your mix or instrument in one side?
Epic video bro, u tested everything haha
Will I get the same mono signal in both ears or just one since it’s mono?
Give thanks, fromJamaica 🇯🇲🇯🇲🎹
hey so i have some questions. whats the max number of receivers that can connect into 1 transmitter? i think its 6 but if im wrong correct me.
and do we have to have wifi to run these? my band does alot of desert shows and there out in the boonies.
thanks again for this video!
Great work, Max!
