XVive U4 Monitor Wireless System 4-stars Reviews

It is what it is

Pros :

Excellent sound

Wireless range is satisfactory

Great dynamic range

Cons:

Very short lasting battery.

Great beginner unit

This unit is ideal for someone looking into IEM's for the first time.The build quality is excellent.It has great sound and is very easy to use.My only 2 issues are the 2.4ghz range and the lack of a stereo option(which isn't major).

With the 2.4ghz range being so crowded there can be interference.Also the unit can interfere with other wireless units when powered on.

A nice piece of kit. Sound can be a bit shallow even if you adjust the EQ to the transmitter.

Very Good system

Very good system, and the sound is excellent. As with any system like these, you need good headphones to get the full value.

We use 4 of these, and there is no problem. However, we did have to re scan all our wireless guitar systems.

My only complaint is unlike conventional systems, you cant change batteries. So if mid gig the battery goes, you will have to recharge the system.

Also, would be useful if the system switched itself off if not used for a certain amount of time (I keep forgetting to turn it off....)

The transmitter is also a little bulky. If you are using the Soundcraft UI mixer type, they will not fit side by side....you have to use XLR from mixer, and then plug in the transmitter. (Luckily there are 8 monitor feeds on the UI24, so we just skip every 2nd input)

Overall, its a good system...8/10

Works as expected

This is a solid piece of gear given the price but there is some amount of noise you'll have to put up with. I'm not sure if this is because of the mixer, interference or the product itself. It could also be inherent to all in ear monitoring systems. Either way, I'd recommend a buy.

Great value for money

Great product for the money. Beats most of rack versions of wireless systems in this price range.

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.
