Your video triggered my decision to get this for my studio. I’ve watched a few different videos on this, and I found your video to be the most helpful since your examples were from your actual usage (as opposed to someone just reading the product talking points).
In my 4-piece band we all use U4s and they are great! Myself (bass) and the guitarist share a transmitter to cut down on the signal noise. The only drawback I encountered is they are on 2.4Ghz frequency which is the same as WiFi. So when I tried to use a Line6 Relay G30 it caused interference on 1 to 2 of our in-ear signals.
Thanks for the in-depth review! I’ve been back and forth for awhile now on these for smaller acoustic gigs when i wanna spoil myself. Much appreciated❤
Just a couple notes. The bodies of the transmitters are kinda wide so plugging them directly into the aux outs on a board right next to each other may not work. They do get staticy if you turn the receiver up too much so watch that. I haven’t personally experienced this yet but have read accounts of phone interference. Grain of salt though, I often have my phone close to my receiver. I would suggest going a bit more expensive when selecting the in ears, I have a great set of 3 driver phones from Drumeo that are great but westtone also makes great ones. Remember, you’re on a mono channel so things can get muddy kinda quick. If you have your own mix and don’t have to share like I do you can pull some of the nonsense out completely and it should clear it up. Molly, killer product vid.
Molly Rose, thank you for your great explanation of the Xvive U4T9 system. I have one more small question: when you use it, can you hear your own voice and the rest of the band through the wireless ear headphones? I'm a novice guitarist and maybe the question is a stupid one.
Nice review, Molly. I am hard-of-hearing, so I struggle with audio bleed whilst wearing BeyerDynamic DT-770 closed headphones and recording vocal tracks with a Lewitt Pure condenser mic. Would these in-ears allow me to reduce the volume of my monitoring and reduce bleed? One thing about in-ears is that I could pair these with the headphones to further block sound, which by itself might be an advantage over cans alone (given the volume I need to "feel" the music). What do you think? Thanks!
So cool to see what we used to spend THOUSANDS of dollars on (Shure/Samson dual-diveristy etc)... has now come down to this that does basically the same job... wow... i still have my samson wireless stuff from the 90's and it WORKS, sounds great... but yeah... the $$$... yikes
I just want to play my UA-cam and phone music and hear my drum playing at the same time. Is this recommended or is there something else i should use. Thank you

super small... tight setup, love it
Glad you like it!

Nice video! Cool
Sooo…. I would assume if you had say 6 different monitor mixes, you would therefore need 6 transmitters for each mix bus correct?
I just want to play my UA-cam and phone music and hear my drum playing at the same time. Is this recommended or is there something else i should use.
Thank you
If I ever play again seriously, then I'll definitely spring for these. -=80)
Wonder if there are any latency/lag issues? seems you are enjoying the product so I assume there's none.
I honestly haven’t had much issues with that. Like anything that’s wireless you’ll have problems of course. But very little
Do all six people get the same exact mix ?
Could I use this for my streaming setup? I heard it is not stereo is this true?
Can I use mono and stereo?
Mine didn’t come in a nice carry case like that 😢
How about cranking up the volume while you wear those things!

Being so much cheaper then the bigger brand names makes me worried to buy them.
Hi Molly can you do a collab with me.

Good review, BUT the U4 in MONO is a nonsense !!! Are Xvive engineers so stupid they can't build a complete stereo system ?
Well if the sound guy send you a cable to your drumming set, whats the reason of wireless, he he he is a joke
