I purchased these for home use and am not disappointed at all. So nice to not need a cable. No latency at all. And no problems at all with the Bluetooth connection. Only downside is the nearly obsolete micro usb charging. C’mon Xvive! It’s 2024! Lol
My buddy is a gigging guitar player and purchased XVive wireless, like the ones you reviewed. He's satisfied with his and hasn't had any issues. When he plays the transmitter doesn't get too far from the receiver. I bought a different brand with more power 5.8G, a bigger battery, longer transmitting/receiving distance, and they were 1/3 the price. I use mine for practice everyday and get great battery life. I haven't tested the time from a full charge but I am sure it's beyond 6 hours. As you stated the cases are a hard plastic. Mine aren't as attractive as the XVive units because of the battery size. I have had these about six months and they are functioning great, plus they came in a handsome, well padded box that included a padded pouch. They sound great and are fun to use. Thanks for your video, I'm onboard!
Good review .......BUT......a couple of things ....... 1 ) Whenever i'm out playing it is always with an acoustic guitar that has an 'active' pickup.....Do these work for that ? You should have demonstrated, because there are a LOT of people that lay mostly acoustic !!! 2 ) there are a number of similar and 'cheaper' units available now off Amazon .....( IE: SWIFF or LEKATO ) You should have done a 'comparison' to see if the Xvive are worth it. ( many models available now are less that 1/2 the cost of the Xvive !!! )
Yes, these will work with an acoustic, and one with an active pickup system. Let me be a bit more clear on the idea of "budget." The two wireless systems I use regularly are a Shure GLXD system ($600) and an Audio Technica System 10 ($300). I've also had experience with Shure QLX (roughly $1000) and similar offerings from Sennheiser. So by comparison this Xvive unit at $130 is "budget" but not the cheapest offering. The above mentioned units are all pro grade meant to be used in a stage and live performance environment. Cheap wireless is not something you want to fuss around with in a pro setting. I've seen some become almost unusable because of interference and lack of robust features- the Shure BLX ($200) is not great. I've seen the Xvive hold up well in pro and semi-pro environments where only a few wireless units are used and I was pleasantly surprised by their performance, but it's also the cheapest I'd go (so best budget unit for me). You can certainly find knock-off and other units cheaper and they might work okay for your needs too. Think of it like guitars- Why buy the Fender Strat if the Squire does the same thing, and better yet, why buy the Squire if you found some other brand on Amazon that looks just like it at half the price?
Sweet! Do they work with pedals? Let’s say i got the transmitter in my guitar and the receiver in the first pedal of the chain and the last pedal is plugged into the amp. Does that work?
Great vid Matt. I would have loved to hear you discuss whether there were any sound changes to your guitar plugged in and wireless. I notice with most wireless guitar units, you lose some top end.
@@mathew_dale I replaced the Xvives with Lekatos. I have both the Lekato 2.4 and 5.8 Ghz in case one doesn't work. But, in the 2 year of using them, the 5.8 has never had a glitch. Both for < $100 on Amazon. Kinda hard to beat it.
