"The audio in this whole video has actually been delayed by 6.7 milliseconds..." Haha! What a boss!

Delaying the audio to show how inconsequential a delay of that magnitude is, got you a subscribe. Thank you so much for showing the real-world triviality of such small delays - I used to work with a guitarist who used to act like a delay of 4ms was the end of the band or whatever, and most people can’t even tell a delay of that period even exists.

one of the best in-depth reviews I've seen on KZfaq. Thank you.

Solid Review! nothing left uncovered!

My wife just gave me this system with the T9 in-ears. I am guessing those were not available back when you made this video. I am a bit late to the party but ready to give it a try. I actually haven't used it yet but it should be a good fit in the corporate band I'm with. You really got me thinking about the small selection of channels and how that could be an issue. That delay you brought up was interesting as well. Great poker face! Thank you.

One of the best gear reviews I've seen, thanks for that

Great review! The digital vs analog segment was especially useful and unique compared to other reviews I've watched

Well done! Knowledgeable, thorough and credible. I’m much more willing to try this product after viewing this review.

How dare you sir!!! WOW being delayed this whole video... I had NO idea. I was about to say, nope, pass. cant do that delay.. and well.. proven wrong. I think its time to make the purchase! Thank you

i recently buy the u4 single unit n with this video u answer all my doubts.Thank U !!!!!!

Best review so far! I’m sold! Great job! (ps I’m now subscribed 🤘🏻)

This review was absolutely excellent! Thank you so much!

I really like the little example of using the audio/video delay set to the delay. I bet no one even notice it until you said it. I know I didn't.

Great job bud….been researching these and this helped me pull the trigger on this bit of gear. Liked and subscribed 👍

Excellent review!! I know nothing about this type of technology, but the way you explain this is very understandable. Hahaha, and it's super cool that you set the audio delay on this video to show what that 6.7 MS delay sounds like, I was worried 6.7 MS was really long 😅🙏 thanks!!!

very comprehensive review. Thanks!

Love the video...just bought one hope I like it. First time using in ears and I'm a drummer.

Thanks for the great review, nice and thorough!

mono well mixed and processed do the job perfectly 👍🏻 rechargeable battery is a huge huge saving at the end of the year 4 gigs per week 👍🏻

I'll probably buy this to add to my recording set up Nice review, really helpful

This is a very thorough review. Thanks 👍

Great review!

Thanks for the well presented review.

Superb review! I use and love the Xvive U2 guitar system. I'm using something similar to you, an LD systems analogue system... very interested in the U4.

Great review, tells me everything I wanted to know. Thanks a lot!

Great review, thanks! Our band plays small gigs and some places have horrible acoustics. Been putting off IEMs for a long time due to the cost, but I'm going to try out this unit. Thanks again.

Straight to the point and no bullshit review...this system really rocks as we use 3 of them in our band, that's in my opinion the limit as more systems together could lead to instability....

you did the perfect review thanks!

Thanks, man. Really helpful review!

Great review! What you do is a great help! Very detailed! Couldn't ask for more ! Continue on great work! Success! God bless you!

Thank you very much for this thoughtful, thorough, well-balanced and pretty much all-encompassing review! This tips the scales for me on a purchase of a pair of transmitters and receivers for my acoustic duo as a self-mixing act, thus helping us get rid of wedge-induced feedback (booming acoustic guitars and whistling vocal mics in some venues) while also cutting stage volume to zero. Mono will do just fine, since we‘ll probably only use one IEM (i.e. left or right side) for a wee bit better orientation than without a monitor, and still being able to communicate well with the audience in small venues and exchange on-stage words and instructions with each other. It‘ll also save schlepping two wedges to gigs and then cabling them up, and even enable us to move our act further up to the front of whatever stage we are on. If one ear gets fatigued, we can swap in the other IEM and give the first ear a rest. For the price, it sure looks like a winner! :-)

Great review! Very informative, thank you.

Great vid. Thx for taking the time. Peace

Thanks so much for this review! Very helpful

Excellent review, thank you.

Can you please review every single musical product made please? This is the best and most honest review I have ever seen. Thank you. That helped alot. Could you try a multiple set up using 3-4 receivers with 1 transmitter?

This is really well done man thank you

Thank you I just bought the earbuds and will probably by this wireless unit.

Very helpful review. Thank you.

Brilliant review. Thanks

Excellent review -- very thorough and delivered efficiently and objectively. I own this unit and love it - it's an incredible value.

Great review thank you so much 👏🏼👏🏼

Been using these for almost a year. Nothing but good things to say.

Definitely buying this stuff ! Thx mate 👋🏽 🇫🇷

Super helpful. Thank you.

Thnx for this detailed review. Very curious how it will work.

Great review!! Thanks

Well done well done Sir. You have helped me make a decision on this. Thank you.

Great review, man! Answered all my questions, gonna be buying this system tomorrow. Thanks!

Great video, excellent excellent excellent! Well done Sir

great review

13:34 that's an M. Night Shyamalan level plot twist :-D

WOW what a great video.. awesome job...

Ijust used mine as a wireless mic system!

got me to hit that like button with that 6.7 millisecond bit

Thank you!

Thanks man!!!

I use the Xvive U4 in ear system with 2 Xvive wireless mic system with no problems. I have seen with the in ear when I move around the bar I do get some static and drop out.

Great content!! Thanks :)

Great review. I'm a solo musician - vocalist/acoustic guitar. I also used the SE215 in-ear in combo with U4. I tried the U4 and found a harshness on the high-end and audible distortion at anything above 0db. As a vocalist, this drove me nuts and left my ears tired and spent after a 3 hr set...which is a standard performance time for me. I have not experienced this result with a direct from the mixer connection to the SE215, which I have used that alternate combo for many previous performances. After all that said, if you're not "vocal sensitive" or too particular with your voice of your instrument (acoustic guitar/etc) then the product is solid and allows incredible ease of use.

Man Bun Metal Head, I really enjoyed your reviews of the U4 and the PTM-10- very informative! I appreciate your scientific approach and actual testing and measurements! I am looking to outfit my son's band with wireless IEM. We are using an XR18. I am a bit concerned about putting 4 transmitters next to each other in the mixer. While there is probably enough room, I wonder how the close proximity of the (internal) antennas is going to impact range and quality (especially since this is 2.4Ghz WIFI). This is like putting 4 wireless routers/APs next to each other. You did point out that you start running out of channels once you are using multiple U4s and have to potentially avoid existing WIFI networks, so I think that is a very valid concern! Just with 4 of these, a wireless router for the XR18 and a potentially existing 2.4GHz network at the gig-site you are already looking at 6 competing networks. Compounding this issue is that In the 2.4 GHz band, channels 1,6, and 11 are the only non-overlapping channels, meaning that you probably have to deal with adjacent channel interference. In addition, devices such as cordless phones and IP cameras also occupy this space. The U4 has gotten great reviews, so I would hope these issues are not too dramatic, but who knows- many folks may just use a single unit.... Once you start using XLR extensions to separate the radios, the form factor advantage diminishes a bit. One advantage of the industry moving to digital is that you are less and less likely to have interference on the analog bands, which is why the PTM-10 looks pretty attractive to me right now 🙂 One question, how would you rate the volume output of the U4 vs the PRM-10? Finally a shameless plug for the kids, who are all 13 and 14 years old 🙂[kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hpySoZp0rd_FnZc.html] Again, thanks for the great review!

I’ve been using the Xvive U4 IEM system for two years with my UE Pro 7 customs and only in my home practice studio. It works very well and has a decent range. The one complaint I have is the volume knob on the body pack is very easily bumped which can go quiet or loud AF. There needs to be some sort of resistance or clutch (other than gaff tape) on that volume knob. I use a 6 ft XLR to get the TX away from my mixer / computers and other electronics where there’s some noise / whine introduced when the TX is close to some of those items.

The SE215 really is an ideal headset for this system. I play bass and I love the mix I can get in this very reasonably priced unit. Very fair review, and accurate in my experience.

Great video very helpful. New sub saying thanks and bravo!

The system is only mono!!! Very important to say

It's great that If you keep the transmitter or receiver in charge it still works !! It uses the xlr type of connection to take signal from main out of a console or just an balanced output from Audio Interface?How many meters must setted the two devices to work fine??The receiver has something as limiter as default to control the high level volume anomalies on stage??Thanks for amazing explanation!!!

The shure triple flange tips are pretty awesome. Short of molds, best ive found.

Great reviews: I also saw your video on the Phenyx pro PTM10 they’re both at the same price point which one would you prefer. I am a singer usually singing in small acts/ venues and open mic. I just like to sound as good as possible I use a sennheiser wireless with an 865 capsule. Thanks for your intuitive reviews!!!

I used to use the shure 425 for a long time and tried the chinese iems for 50 bucks and they sound way better than the shure so i ended up buying more of their iems and they arr so good for the price

thx for this review. It was very well put together and clear. I have a question if you have the time to answer. np if not k. I'm going to buy this setup as I'm on a budget after purchasing the AkG C414 XLII for recording purposes. I know this is an odd question and not directly related to this review. If I put the AkG C414 XLII in Dynamic mode for a live gig will I get feedback as it's condenser mic but with multiple patterns. I play acoustic and sing/ solo gig.

Well played sir! 6.5ms :)

We use nady pem 1000 works just as good as the high price models

Hey dood! Just found ur channel, now I’m subscribed. I’m curious what’s in your in ear mix when u practice. Do u ever do just vocals, or all instruments as well as vox? Also, when using the Xvive, does your whole band have to have the EXACT same in ear mix as everyone else? Basically if the bassist wanted less guitar 1 and the singer wants more of guitar 2 this isnt really achievable is it?

@13:30 Smart man, get my subscribe

Thanks for clearing that up. We had 2 of our guys get these and our xair18 wouldn't connect anymore. Obviously the channels are being shared. Good to know. Should I get the phenyx pro instead since it's radio frequency?

Hi great review thanks. I'm thinking of buying these for my 4 piece band. I was wondering, if I had 4 of these (1 for each band member), would we have to set different channels on each receiver so they don't interfere with each other? What if 2 or more of the receivers were set to the same channel, would we get interference? I'm not sure how that works.

great review, thanks a lot. one question only: can you replace the battery on these units in case they degrade over the time? thanks in advance

I’m debating whether I want to get the package deal xvive 4 pack for the band or dishing out for 4 individual systems, just watched your video on the xvive individual monitor mix’s for around 75 bucks per musician idk lol , I’m new to wireless iem,s I’m oldschool always had a monitor. They’ve lowered the price recently on these so debating.

The 4 people who disliked this video must’ve been Man Bun Metalhead’s ex-girlfriends. Articulate, informative, and covered the things I needed/wanted to know. Well done, Sir.

Could you use a 1/4" TRS adapter on the transmitter to make it stereo? I would be plugging the transmitter into the headphone port of a presonus earmix 16 personal mixer.

quick question! if I buy the X VIVE U4 do I need another transmitter for my microphone? or all I need is X VIVE for vocal performance ? how do I connect it to my microphone? I'm not sure if I'm making any sense but hope to hear from you, THANK YOU and I subscribed!!

Hi Great video, thanks for taking the time to do this review. Would you recommend this system for someone such as me, who just wants an iem system for singing during a live stream ?. I want something decent, without having to pay too much, I've already made my mind up on the Shure 215's Thanks in advance.

so im a drummer and im wanting one of these units but i wanted to ask. can i get away with using just a mixer? im pretty new to these iem setups. another question, what output would i plug the transmitter into? thanks for this video!!

Great review. I am concerned with the volume level thru the earbuds that I will attach. Is it loud enough? Do you, or anyone else, have experience with the volume being too low to be useable? Thanks.

I've used xvive u4 in 3 seperate gigs , since I purchased it a month ago . We play with a metronome , the set up is a click from a phone and to the mixer . 3/3 times , the metronome doesn't seem to be in sync . We tried all 6 channels , same problem . In terms of instruments, vocals used no problem . Just the metronome. Any help would be appreciated . Thanks

Are you shure youre a metal head and not a phd student in electrical engineering! Great vid. Kudos

Do you think any 2.4 Ghz interference would be fairly easily resolved by changing channels when playing at smaller gigs? I definitely am going the route of having a monitor mix on stage with our own mixer for this so we don't have range drop out issues, but curious on your thoughts of wifi interference for smaller gigs?

Hi man!! I’m going to buy a wireless monitor system but I have a question! Which one is better? The xvive u4 or the phenyx ptm10?

When you compare all the things that can go wrong with wireless, and all of the extra considerations that you have to take to use them, I just don’t see the percentage in moving away from personal mixers and using cabled ears. The personal mixtures with a cable provide a much more robust and predictable outcome for a minor inconvenience of a cable.

Are the 6 channels the same frequencies on all of the Xvive units. I mean if I had 5 o6 u4's could I still use the U3's on 6 channels with differrent frequencies?

I see a lot of people complaining about it not being stereo. I don't really see how this is an issue for most purposes? If you're playing in a band you just need to hear all the instruments so that you can play in time? I guess if you're a DJ or something maybe a stereo mix is more relevant. The deal breaker for me is that the batteries aren't replaceable. Seems likely that the battery life would be quite worse after a year, especially if they've been through a few gigs.

Hello I am a guitarist i USE two amps to get my tone. I use two different amps one panned to the right and one panned to the left in live gigs, do you think I can send those signals to the xviveu4?

Great review, I'm a bassist for our worship team and have been looking for a wireless IEM and my question is would I just unplug my Roll PM50 PMA and plug the transmitter of the U4 to the same connection on the snake or must it be connected to the mixers. Thanks

Thank you for great review! Can you get "stereo signal" out of this if plugged into a "stereo" 1/4 out- say ant ART HeadAmp4?

I play backing tracks with my iPad. One iPad and my voice is the set up. If I connect my in ears in aux I will hear a mono signal? So my backing tracks will be mono in my in ears?

If my band has 6 units, can we all be on the same channel or do we have to be on seperate channels? Does the receivet connect to the channel or just to the transmitter itself regardless of channel?

Can balanced adapter make sound more comfortable that adapter in mono, which is with product? That system is in mono. I am already understand it)

can you use xvive u4 receiver with a different transmitter

My girlfriend and I jam at home and are looking at building experience using in-ears. If I plugged one of the transmitters into the headphone out of my USB audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett) and we had a seperate receiver each, would it work effectively? Or is there a better way of doing it? Thank you for the great review.

But how do i sum my stereo signal into mono with this? I'm using zoom r20 as band mixer
