Of all these years watching videos on UA-cam, I have never seen a review as complete as this one!
WOW. That was the most professionally done review of any Gear I've seen for a long time. Complete, no useless babling, packged with information, clear measurements, great illustrations, from start to finish all aspects thought carefully. No stones left unturned. I can only imagine all the editing work, time and effort that were put to it. Thank you!
Thanks, Jari!
I agree 100 percent very clear and detailed.
Alright, as an Electrical Engineer by grad level training and a couple of decades of experiences, I can tell that the testing regime is adequate for industrial purchase contracts (except for some of those converters, which are not used). In other words, for a consumer grade review this is of excellent caliber and quality. The checklist is extensive and granular. Great Show!
Cucumber of Wisdom! What an incredibly good review! It is way more detailed than I expected from any other review. I must follow this reviewer. Good job!!
A first-timer on your channel... and enjoyed every minute of it. Great job... with accuracy, good preparation, lots of angles to allow best view of all operations, actual informations and measurements (instead of speculations), introduction then test synthesis.
I don't know whether cucumbers have wisdom... but you sure have !
Thank you !
Hi! I would like to thank for the video. Probably the best video review I have ever seen! (Not only music and gear!)
Hey. Thanks!
An excellent and very complete review. I am considering the Xvive U3 for multiple applications (Vocals, Bass/guitar, wireless PA) and you addressed all of the doubts and questions I had. Thank you, Cucumber of Wisdom.
Cucumber of Wisdom! The most thorough audio analysis on UA-cam!
You have spent so much time to do a comprehensive review. Well Done and Thank You.
I cringe and delight as you take apart the device and remember my youth when I used to take everything apart. This channel is the best I wished it was the UA-cam standard you deserve a big following. I use your channel for every purchase I can.
The best review I’ve ever seen on any product out there. I’ll buy this product , used and not read the manual. Thanks Bro. Well done 👍🏾
Great review. Thanks. Had taken the plunge and bought the unit a few days before finding this vid. Good to see a couple of uses I had not thought about. Cheers
40 years of looking at reviews of musical products, this review blows them all out of the water. Your review is detailed, extensive and concisely explained in easy to grasp language. I was so impressed that I immediately subscribed to your channel. Cudo’s and thank you. Keep up the great work you’re doing. I will be an avid follower.
🎤🥁👍
Thanks for kind words, Marc!
Duuuuuuude you are the best at reviews! Answered all my questions, you rock!
You convinced me! I’m going to buy it! 36:29 What you did by using 2 receivers for the same signal means that you can extend the strength of the signal by placing one receiver 60 meters from the other and you would have 120 meters of safe area to move around without signal failures; 60 meters from the radius of the 1st receiver and 60 meters from the radius of the 2nd receiver. Haven’t you thought about doing that test to see if it works? I would do the experiment by placing a 60m cable in one of the console’s channels and connecting the second receiver to that cable, while I would connect the first receiver to another channel of that same console.

This is one of the best videos on gear I have ever seen and I have watched plenty . Congratulations on your professionalism and a truly outstanding piece of work . so thorough and informative. I use the X vive on guitar very happily but sadly I will now be wary of combining it with the mic system. I hope they get the interference problems sorted out soon one day..I hate cables!!
The best tech review I've seen anywhere. Excellent! Thank you.
Fast forward 3 years, and hi there! I have considered this device, but just ordered a similar device from CARVIN AUDIO, THE WM5. It is on sale for $159 plus shipping at this time. Can't wait to test it out, particularly if it generates more feedback than a wired microphone. I'll be using my Shure SM58 with it. The Xvive U3 sells for $199 on Amazon. Most comments have been good.
First time to your channel. Wasn't expecting such a quality review, covering so many aspects. Subscribed.
Cucumber of wisdom
This was a GREAT REVIEW. I'm glad it's still here. I'm thinking about getting this system for a mic on a stand. why? Because I use vintage amps and get shocked when I touch the mic. Now that won't happen (almost) ever anymore. I won't "touch" the PA. I'll plug the receiver in to the cable the sound man wants to plug into the mic. I like the idea of using it with a camera. I hope that was successful for Max. That distance test was AWESOME. ===== OH Wow. It's expensive to be a musician in Russia. Solidarity with my guitar and musician friends and fam in Russia. Some great players and gear makers there.
Cucumber of wisdom. Thank you so much for taking this time
I would just give you ALL audio products in the world for you to test and rate. Pure science. Thank you so much!
well - I do not thing you have missed anything... :) great job! thanks
Thank you for this video. The cucumber of wisdom is a great system to remember for testing these wireless systems
Cucumber of wisdom. 😉 Excellent video covering just about anything needed to know about this device!
Mon premier like sur UA-cam. Vidéo incroyable. Ça c'est du test ! Bravo !
What a review. More power to you. Thanks
WOW, such an amazing review! This is how to do a clear, methodic and comprehensive review. You covered every aspect and potential problem of the unit. Hands down to you man!
Your a Boss at reviews i own these about 2 months now excellent for djays
You are great at this! 👏I never seen a better product review in my life 🙏
Wow! You answered all my questions. Just ordered one to try it out for interviews.
Love this review. Really well done. I like how you measured the weight on both. Surprised that the mic with the Xvive was almost same weight...I just got the Xvive and love it
Cucumber of Wisdom. Excellent Review. Very complete. Thanks for this.
Cucumber of Wisdom: What a great review. This has got to be the most thorough and comprehensive reviews I've seen anywhere. Thank you, you did great job and I think we're all appreciative. It was long but no fluff and packed with information. Again, thank you. I too am trying to decide between this and the new Nux B-3 but the battery life and the line control I think has me sold on this .... I really want to be able to use this with a 3.5mm Lavalier ..... any thoughts on how I may be able to adapt to get that accomplished.
I don't see other option other than making a custom adapter. Although, it's worth googling something like 3.5mm jack to XLR
Excellent and unbiased complete review and testing of the product from practically every aspect. Prost!
Great video, thanks for pointing out about the controls being inaccessible when more than one receiver plugged into mixing desk. That's a big mistake on the manufacturers part.
Yeah I also realized that but you can solve the problem using a short XLR cable from mixer out to the dongle.
CUCUMBER OF WISDOM!!!
Thanks for the most complete review of any product I have EVER seen…EVER! Incredibly USEABLE information for the real-world situations I HAD thought about, and many that I had not. Job well done!
You are awesome thank you for the review....I love it when you take things apart...keep it up.
Extension cord good idea for channels as well. This will give access to controls.
Cucumber of wisdom! Thank you so much! Just heard of this product today and your review was exceptional!
Great video & almost everything u wanted to know r all there in this video. Good job.
LOL, the Cucumber of Wisdom! Awesome review, was looking for a wireless setup that I could use for out podcast when going out to conventions. This looks like a perfect solution. Thanks for providing such an in-depth review and test of this product.
CUCUMBER OF WISDOM for sure! Thank you specifically for answering my 1 question: Can 1 Transmitter send signal to 2 receivers simultaneously. You’re the man.
man! U're best! u're real GOD OF TESTING! I'm impressed and shocked. thank U much!!
Thank you, I was really concerned with battery life and range. Your tests were very helpful. A cucumber of wisdom!
You're welcome. Battery life is really solid. I'm using U3 for almost a year now on a regular basis and the battery is still strong
Such a great and thorough video! Just bought a pair of these today and I'm excited to put it to use!
This is one of the best tech reviews I've ever seen on UA-cam. Amazing work. I hope you can continue to get new subscribers.
Thanks Eddy
EXCELLENT REVIEW MY MATE! CHEERS FROM JAPAN
Now this ladies and gentlemen, is a review! Wish all You Tube reviews whare as thorough, Thank you! ✌😷
Of course cucumber of wisdom 😊🎼🎶🎵🕺💃🎶
Cucumber of wisdom! Great review. Just bought the Xvive 3. TY.
Very impressive and informative video. Never seen such an indepth review of any item before. Thank you
Just watch your review I couldn't of been more satisfied with this video everything was very well explained and loved it only 1 part you missed out that I'm very well interested I'm a mobile dj and club dj now what I really want to know and interested in is how well does it work with a powered speakers I did a gig on a boat and trying not to use cables on 1 speaker meaning if I bridge one speaker to the other how good will it work if you could do another video doing this test would highly appreciate it thanks cheers wonderful video keep up the good work
Ps. Subscribed and notification bell on cucumber of wisdom cheers 🍻
I have the same question
Hey. I somehow missed this comment. Yeah, i'm planning another video on U3 and i'll include this into it. Thanks!
very thorough, All the practical scenario's given answered a lot of questions, great job
This plus a battery powered PA like the Soundboks 3 has made my mobile DJ life so easy! Only issue is you really want line of sight, so I use a 6' patch cable to tape it on top of my PA. Then no people are blocking the signal.
Cucumber of wisdom - Great informative video thanks for uploading my friend !*****
Great, full complete review... keep doing them.. lots of knowledge... as a musician looking to improve my sound, you help make an informative decision. Good job!
Glad to help!
Very good and detailed video. Many thanks for your effort.

Great review . Thanks for the very in depth analysis.
WOW, thank you for the video, I had no idea that the entire unit had a cast metal hull, that would explain its durability.
CUCUMBER OF WISDOM.

This is very good review & all what I want to know about. :) THANK YOU !!!
I am waiting for another review with DAP-Audio COM-ART too ;)
Cucumber of Wisdom! 😍
Thanks for the cucumber of wisdom. Great review!
Wow, what a great job, thanks a lot! But have U ever tried to use U3 as a wireless connection between the mixer (f.e. Yamaha MG12XU with XLR outputs) and active speakers? That´s the way I would like to use it.. BTW, what does it mean "cucumber of wisdom", pls? .)
Hey. I haven't tried that yet. Not on stage at least. But it should work. As long as the signal from the mixer is strong enough there shouldn't be much noise. Cucumber of wisdom is just another weird phrase at the end of my video. It doesn't really mean anything, although i usually try to describe the product with it.
Same question here
yes! Please make a video using speakers and the U3, we would appreciate that.@@MaxSoloMusic
New subscriber here 😊
Nice review and test of the product! 👍👌
Thank you! 🤗
thanks for this review dawwgy
Great friggin video. Thanks.
Cucumber Of Wisdom!!!
Best review of the xvive on the planet
cucumber of wisdom indeed. just to not get tangled up in anything until it hits an fx box is a reason for u2+u3.
Very professional video excellent info thanks
Best in the business!!!!
Great review mate , But i think you may have missed a few potential issues that I watched for and didn't see. Having done many gigs and seen bad stuff happen ( like an amp going to dead short full power at 50hz, , the phantom power trap, (which you covered) , and disconnects under load. I always look at such devices to see where it could go wrong. The issue of all those buttons being available on the mic, and then handing it to a random person say at a wedding for a speech . They then have gain, power and channel control, at their fingertips. What could happen ? Even for a pro singer at a gig they could be knocked, What is the work around for that scenario? At worst, the gain gets flicked up and the PA feeds back , Thats really bad. or it just doesn't work due to channels not coinciding.(not so bad) Also how tough to knocks/water is it.
I'm keen on the unit though and your review was stunningly technical and I applaud you for your knowledge and completeness. Thanks😀 !
Man you went above and beyond for this review... thank you :-) What's your opinion on the noise floor of the xvive u3 vs a wired connection? I just got a nux b-3 and the noise floor is pretty bad. Just wondering if the xvive u3 would be any better.
Thanks. I can imagine that b-3 and u3 are very similar units which probably have very similar specs. U3's signal to noise ratio is actually good, as long as the signal level is high enough the noise shouldn't be a problem
@@MaxSoloMusic Hello, I am also deciding on which to buy between the two (nux b3 or xvive u3). The main difference I notice in specs between the two is the sound resolution. Nux b3 has 32 bit and xvive u3 has 24 bit. Which would you say is best for vocals (live not for recording)? Thank you
@@paulgarcia983 I'm also trying to decide between the two. Nux is less $$ but I've seen twice now a stress test on the battery that takes it to 9+ hours and the Xvive has a line input control so for the diff in $ I think it'll be the U3....
Cucumber of wisdom ✌🏼
I'm giving you my sub For an awesome review keep up the great work
Thank you for your amazing review! You answered 99.8% of my questions. What I didn't figure out is if there are strong WiFi routers around, would they interrupt the signal of the U3s.
I am trying to figure out whether as a beginner mobile DJ I should invest in the U3 or in a wireless mic system. I am not sure which will be more stable in different venues. I am tempted by the U3 for the lower price, connectivity with different mics and the ability to turn one of my active speakers into a (signal) wireless one for coctail hours and wedding ceremonies.
So I would be very grateful if you could address this too.
Hey. I'm running two mics with U3 every weekend for the last couple of months at different gigs. There were over 1000 people at the last one, many with mobile phones taking pics etc. Additionally to that we have a digital mixer with a Wi-Fi access point and I'm using Relay G70, the older one before the "fix", which is known to be very unfriendly to other 2.4 GHz signals. We had no problems on stage so far playing 5-6 hour gigs without a single dropout. There's a trick though. To minimize the distance between transmitters and receivers and also to have a backup plan, I'm not plugging receivers directly into the mixer. Instead, those are connected to XLR cables right next to each singer's mic stands. In case something goes wrong, they can switch over to a cable at any time. And the distance is never more than 3-5 meters.
COWOW ... CUCUMBER OF WISDOM! TYVM.
