XVive U4 Monitor Wireless System Reviews

Good product idea, bad execution

So we actually bought 3 of these sets for our church. They seemed to be a cheaper alternative to the regular wireless in-ear systems. The first one came with a defect from the factory on the connector. We returned it and received another one that worked well.

For the first few months they worked well but then one of the senders started to randomly select the channel by itself and although the channels were very rarely changed, the button to change the channel stopped working. You could not press it anymore. We returned it and it was fixed. A month later the 3rd set starting to show the same behavior with the channel button. It is very frustrating to not be able to rely on them. As a summary:

Pros:

- Great concept, works on 2.4 GHz so no interference from other microphones

- Good price

Cons:

- Button to switch the channel is very badly built

- Only mono, which makes creating a good in-ear mix very difficult.

Perfect first wireless system

Would definitely recommend to someone who doesn't care about panning. Have been using alot at home since you know.. But this is perfect for practicing and i really look forward to using this on stage

Great for a simple wireless solution

This is built like a tank and works like a champ. Loud enough for any live gig you'll be using it for. No drop in coverage from many feet away.

IEM

So I'm just a newbie in IEM and as a church instrumentalist I move a lot. After purchasing the Behringer powerplay 1 wanted to turn it into wireless. As I looked thru reviews I found out this could be a good fit. It worked ryt out of the box. I wish the usb charging cable included was longer.

Very neat In-Ear-Monitor (IEM) at a reasonable price

This has only been tested at home so far, so this review will likely be updated at some point once the U4 IEM has been gigged and aspects like performance & interference in a crowded 2.4gHz environment, and battery life can be tested.

Operation is about as complicated as pouring a glass of water. Could not be more intuitive or simple. Sound quality with fairly standard mid-price range earbuds is very acceptable. It will doubtless be even better with more expensive buds.

The transmitter is a little bit chunky, so I do not know yet whether it will interfere with neighbouring XLR's or XVive U4 transmitters. I purchased a LyxPro XLR 'elbow' (Amazon USA) to counter this potential issue.
