Xvive U2 Wireless Guitar System Rechargeable 2.4GHz Guitar Wireless Transmitter and Receiver for Electric Guitar Bass

I am not fond of guitar cables. They are always in the way, get stepped on, get accidentally unplugged, and need to be put away when done. Most reviewers of this product on YouTube are are great teachers and players but they are old fashioned. They love their cables. I have been using wireless for 4 years so here is my take on it. Line 6 G30 About 4 years ago I bought a Line 6 G30 wireless setup for my guitar. Things I liked: * Worked great * Replaceable batteries Things I didn’t like: * I either had to wear it on my belt. (Really didn’t like that) * or * I had to attach it to a guitar strap. * (Means I had to wear a strap even when sitting down in my practice room. If I wanted to switch guitars, I had to transfer the strap. * Still needs a short cable. * Had to remember to turn off the power switch on transmitter or it would eat batteries Line 6 G10 About a year ago I bought a line 6 G10. Things I liked: * Works great. * Transmitter plugs directly into guitar. * Turns on when plugged in. * Turns off when unplugged or no music detected for some period of time. * Charge by plugging into the receiver. Things I didn’t like: * Can’t change the battery. * Receiver is not battery operated * Transmitter protrudes a bit far when plugged in to most guitars. (Works nicely on Strats) Xvive U2 Received it today. Things I liked: * Transmitter and receiver are battery operated. (No wires or cables, Yay) * Unit can fold forward or backward to avoid protruding too far. * Very light. Things I didn’t like: * Have to turn on both units. * Have to remember to turn off both units. * Can’t replace the battery. * Not as easy to charge as the Line 6 G10. (Have to plug in transmitter and receiver to USB cable) Conclusion All of the units I have owned performed their primary function well. That is they allowed me to go wireless. What I would like to see: * The form factor of the Xvive U2 * Replaceable batteries so I could get up and running quickly in the middle of a gig. * The intelligence of the Line 6 G10. * Shuts off after a few minutes of inactivity. * Turns on when plugged in and turns off when unplugged * A charging station that uses 1/4” jacks for charging instead of a separate USB plug. (Like the G10) 2/26/2018 I've been using the Xvive U2 for a few days now in my home in the same room as my WiFi router and have had absolutely no problems. I'll be taking these with me when I go to a friends house to jam and when I go to my music lessons. My teacher always has cables that need repair or are too short. The Xvive U2 should solve those problems.

I received this for Christmas (by request) to use with my electronic accordion (after a bandmate stepped on my cable last summer and damaged the accordion's output jack). I've been practicing with it and have been impressed with the quality of the sound, but last night was my first opportunity to try it out on a real gig. It worked great! It was liberating -- no longer had to worry about getting my feet tangled in my cable while dancing around the stage. I'd been a bit worried about impacting the transmitter as I switched back and forth between accordion and piano, but that didn't turn out to be a problem. Battery life seems good -- I was able to do several days' worth of 2-hour practice sessions between charges. I've only noticed one minor issue. The red light on each unit is supposed to blink when the battery needs recharging. My receiver works correctly, but my transmitter blinks constantly, even when it is fully charged. As long as I make sure the units are fully charged before a gig that shouldn't be an issue.

This system works phenomenally. I use them both for practice and for live performance, and they work without any problems. I move around a lot while I play, so cables became were very inconvenient for me (always tripping over them, or unplugging them). I gave these a try, just to see how'd they work and I am considering purchasing a second pair. I play mainly bass, but these work well with guitar. I actually plug the transmitter to my bass and the receiver to my pedals, keeping them out of my way, but not too far where I can't reach them. They also allow me the flexibility to "rock" onstage, which is a lot of freedom I have been able to take advantage of. The sound stays fat, there is no audible delay and the battery life is great (I've been able to use it for 4 hours nonstop). The only problem is that it might not fit all bodies. I use multiple guitars, but for my Ibanez SR 705, the quarter inch plug is too short and the body of the transmitter prevents it from plugging in all the way. That is the only problem I have faced. I have other Ibanez guitars and it fits in well into those, so it might be something that really depends on how the shape of the guitar's body is. Even still...this is one of the best investments any plug-in-instrumentalist will be able to use.

I have 3 sets of these that I bought about a week apart at the start of Sept 2021. They have worked pretty well for the most part. I noticed one pair I used at an offsite rehearsal studio sometimes had some interference/dropout. I think it may have been either equipment in the next room or the wifi network but never quite figured that out. Mostly I used these for home woodshedding and they have been flawless for that. 20 months in, 1 set has died. More specifically, the transmitter has died. The receiver still works with the transmitter from another set. I suspect the battery has reached the end of it's useful life. It still produces audio, but it's faint and noisy. It still pairs and if you crank the amp there is an audio signal, but not a usable one. At lower volume it's not audible. I mailed support to inquire about the warrantly length which is 12 months. And to ask if there is a paid repair option or or paid battery replacement option. I got a timely reponse the next day. But there isn't any repair option, even paid. I sent a couple of follow up emails inquiring about the typical behavior as the system battery reaches end of life...does it just die, does the audio go first, then the LED's, does it just not take a charge anymore? Seems like mine still charges, the LED's stay on the audio signal is just weak. So it's possible it's something else failing in the circuit, but my guess is this is just the first battery to no longer produce the right voltage despite being "charged", and no longer be able to drive the audio circuit. I'll update my review when I hear back, or if I don't...as well. I get it that a lot of things with lithium ion batteries are just "disposable" when the life ends. But -1 star on value for not making the battery easily replaceable. I'll say this. I had a cheap $45 set of these and they were so bad with interference and poor coupling and dropouts that I aksed for their "money back guarantee". That vendor (not XVIVE) gave me the runaround and in the end I had to open a paypal case to get my money back. There was none of that with these XVIVES. The product worked well for the most part. I'm a little dissapointed in a less than 2 year life of the battery on one transmitter (if that's what the problem is). I will wait to hear back about typical behavior of the system. I considered just buying a replacement transmitter which is readily available on amazon for $85, but if all the other batteries are going to start dying pretty soon, or even if the just the receiver of this set does, it doesn't make sense to buy a new transmitter. I'll probably just keep using the ones that work, and maybe hack the non-working one open and see if I can replace the battery even though it's not designed for it. In the end, I doubt I'd keep buying more if they only last less than 2 years, but we'll see how the other 2 sets hold up. I might just go back to the old reliable, high value CABLE. Wireless is ok, but I don't move around that much so a cable works ok too.

First and foremost: Don't listen to anybody who tells you there is no latency/delay/lag with the signal. There definitely is. It's subtle, but certainly noticeable - especially to those who are experienced players - and gets worse the further you are from the receiver. The amount of latency may be acceptable for a novice or casual hobbyist, but anyone who is serious about playing guitar and has discerning ears will be disappointed. I first bought the Donner DWS-3 and then the Xvive U2 a day later. Here are my thoughts on the two: Xvive U2: + ergonomic and stays mostly out of the way of knobs and such. + very strong signal - noticeable latency. BIG MINUS for me. It's kind of a deal breaker. - higher price. The price wouldn't bother me if not for the latency. - sound degradation. It's not huge, but the guitar sounds slightly muddier with less clarity when compared to using a guitar cable Donner DWS-3: + low latency. almost like playing through an instrument cable + low price. I paid $103 for it - almost $60 less than the Xvive - poor signal. signal cuts out at times when I walk out of the room. - clunky shape. it's blocky and gets in the way of knobs - cheap "chromed" plastic trim looks cheap. Would be better if it were just matte plastic like the rest of the unit. I will give Xvive credit for the tactile design of the unit, as its ergonomic shape handles easily when plugging and unplugging. While there is unfortunately noticeable latency in the signal, it is nevertheless a strong signal. I purchased both the Xvive U2 as well as the Donner DWS-3 to try out, and the Xvive's signal is far superior. with the Xvive, I can go outside and shut both my wooden and metal screen doors and the signal didn't cut out at all. It's just a shame that the delay is so noticeable. Where the Donner DWS-3 excels is in its latency, or lack thereof. I believe it's listed as < 2.5 ms, whereas the Xvive is < 6 ms of latency. The Xvive has more than twice the latency, and it shows... or sounds. Where the Donner fails is its poor signal. Just walking out of my bedroom, the signal cuts out entirely. To be fair, you're not likely to be going in and out of rooms when you are playing guitar with a band either at practice or on stage, but it's concerning enough that I wouldn't feel confident using this in a live situation. If you can deal with the Xvive's latency, it would be a better bet for live performance. I'm a bit disappointed in both devices and may return both. I will be for sure returning the Xvive because the latency just ruins the experience. It's not something I can get over. I'd rather plug in to my amp and have a more natural 1-to-1 experience of feeling connected to the sound of my guitar. You don't get that with the Xvive. In my book, that makes it a big fail. If I keep the Donner, it will be solely for the novelty of walking around outdoors with my battery-powered Yamaha THR-5 and wireless guitar! If Xvive comes out with an updated version with something like < 2.5 ms of latency like the Donner DWS-3, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one and give it another try. But for now, it's just not good enough.

Excellent product

The Xvive U2 is far and away the best of the wireless systems I've used over the past 20 years. I'm a gigging musician, averaging around 60 shows a year. I primarily play small clubs that hold up to 250 people, with a few outdoor shows mixed in. The Xvive has worked perfectly at every single venue for the last two years. I don't generally get more than 200 feet away from the receiver, but I've never experienced signal interruption either via distance, or getting stepped on by another system. Most of our shows last 4 hours, and the battery has never run out. I love the 20 second setup time, and the units fully recharge in about 15 minutes when plugged into a PC or battery pack via the included USB cable. I had given up on wireless for awhile because the other units I've owned had various issues, but I run sound in addition to performing on stage in this band, and you just can't do a soundcheck while cabled to an amplifier. The tone, quality, and durability have all exceeded my expectations. And it's great not having to find somewhere to clip on the transmitting unit! Brilliant design!

I bought three sets of these and I really like them a lot. I am NOT a performing musician; I use these at home as a hobby guitarist. I had a Line 6 G50 Relay which was fine, but constantly changing batteries was not fun. I tried these after watching some great YouTube reviews and I find these to be far more useful. First of all they're much cheaper than the Line 6 units, but the thing I like the best is that I can put two receivers in two different amps and transmit from the guitar I'm playing into both amps at the same time. Even more, I'll transmit from guitar into my pedal board, and then I'll have a second transmitter at the end of the chain that sends to the receiver on the amp. That's insanely cool. In another setup I'll transmit from the guitar into one receiver in a Headrush pedalboard and the second receiver in a Kemper amp. Again, too much fun. I have experienced some break-up on rare occasions. Certain other wireless devices can cause disruption which you'd expect. This probably wouldn't happen on stage, but in your home you've got a lot of wireless stuff humming along. That said, it's rare. Recharge using a USB connection -- super convenient and WAY better than changing batteries. Over all I'm really really happy with these and highly recommend them.

Ces deux transmetteurs / récepteurs me faisaient envie depuis un moment... mais il faut avouer que j'étais un peu déçu par certaines expériences de sans fil (que ce soit en casques, musique...) qui avaient une fâcheuse tendance à produire un plus de bruits parasites que de sons audibles. Et finalement, je me suis décidé. Bon, je passe vite fait sur la qualité de la livraison, ayant attendu 6 mois avant de commander, je n'étais pas à quelques jours près (même si cela a été livré le lendemain dans un emballage impeccable). Je passe vite fait sur les imperceptibles délais de latence qui ne sont en rien gênants (il y a suffisamment de vues YouTube pour le confirmer). Au niveau de la fabrication, certains ont trouvé le produit "cheap", moi pas. C'est du plastique bien sûr, mais bien fini, avec des petits boutons proportionnés à l'objet ; donc rien à redire. En plus, c'est léger mais possède une bonne tenue dans la prise jack, on peut donc gigoter à son aise sans craindre de retrouver le truc à 15 mètres de soi après une éjection due à un double salto pendant un solo... Je l'ai acheté pour des guitares, l'une électro-acoustique et l'autre électrique passive... donc quelques petites précisions sur les capacités des objets. J'ai donc testé différentes configurations. La première en liaison guitare - ampli et c'est parfait ; la seconde en liaison guitare - pédalier (pédalier raccordé à l'ampli par câble), rien à redire ; la troisième en liaison pédalier - ampli (là c'est la guitare qui était reliée au pédalier par câble), au top. J'ai même eu la surprise agréable de voir les bruits de fond nettement réduits dans les trois cas. Au niveau autonomie, cela fait le coup, une recharge d'une heure et demie au bout de trois jours en ayant utilisé environ deux heures par jour. En déplacement, rien à redire, on peut tranquillement mettre son ampli à fond dans la maison et jouer dans son jardin à 15-20 mètres de là... Bref, je crois que je vais prendre une seconde paire pour définitivement virer les câbles dans lesquels je me prends trop souvent les pieds !

一年に2、3本シールドをダメにするのでいっその事ワイヤレスにしようと考えて購入。コスパ面では最高と言ってもいいかもしれません。 良い点 当たり前ですがワイヤレスなので煩わしさが無い。暴れられる。 ノイズは気にならない程度(テレキャスターのリアで)。多分ピックアップノイズの可能性もあるので、エレキの特性の問題かと。 テレの奥まったジャックにもちゃんとささる。逆にレスポール等だと飛び出ますが、本体の角度を変えられるので気にする事はありません。テレキャスやストラトでの使用を前提にしてるのでは？と思うぐらいフィットします。フェンダーキチとしては嬉しいです(勝手な思い込み) 扱いが楽。レシーバーから電源を入れてボタンを押すと青のLEDが光る。光る回数がch数です。次にギター側を電源入れてレシーバーの青LEDが点灯するまでボタンを押す。終わり。一度設定すればレシーバーから電源を入れる事さえ気をつければすぐ使えます。4chあるのでバンドでかぶっても安心。 音の遅れも気になりません。よーく聴いてると遅れてる？かな？んーどうだろう？というレベル。この値段では画期的なのでは？ とにかく省スペース。エフェクターボードの邪魔には全くなりません。L字型のパッチケーブルの金属部分(なんて言うんでしょうか)に少しスペースが追加される程度です。他のものは小さくてもコンパクトエフェクターサイズですがそれの半分以下です。悪く言えばチャチいですw 不安な点 電池の交換はサポセン頼り。多分電池がダメになったら買い直した方が早いでしょう。連続使用時間は5時間程度とありますが、もう少し短いです。ただスマホの外部バッテリーでも使用できるので、ポケットに外部バッテリー→USBケーブル→ギター側という技が使えますw まあ試してませんが。 可動部がプラスチック。錆びる心配はありませんが割れて使えなくなるかもしれません。大切にそっと動かして角度を変えましょう。少し重いので力を加え過ぎずにでも動く程度に。シールドの煩わしさから解放される対価だと思えば安いものです。 スイッチが軽い。簡単に入ります。オフにしたつもりがオンのまま電池切れしてました。ただオフにはしにくいので、使用する分には問題ありません。 エレキであれば絶対にオススメできる一点です。まあクリーンで弾く、もしくはエレアコ等を弾く場合少しノイズが気になる人はいるかもしれませんが、ノイズリダクション挟むか周りの電化製品から離すとか(一応自分の環境はBluetoothもWi-Fiも携帯も無線キーボードも、さらにアンプもフェンダーマスタングGTにしたので無線飛び放題ですw でも気になりません。シングルコイルPUギターの宿命だと割り切ってます。ちなみにハムバッカーなら何の問題もないです。)何かしら軽く対策すればいいかもと思います。 長々と書きましたが、一年でダメにしてきたシールド代を考えると画期的商品だと思います。他のメーカーからこのサイズでさらに高品質な製品が出てくる事を期待します。ただ当分はこの製品を私は使い続けていきたいと思います。

I have been using it for more than 1 year and it is working very good.

I just received this week. ($201 Canadian to my door) Shipped from PA SHOP London Ont and was packaged well and came earlier than expected.Product was extremely easy to setup and had no interference issues others have posted. I used it at my church with no issues. One complaint the USB to dual Micro USB charge cable was defective on one of the micro USB(an inexpensive replacement) My setup was an older acoustic guitar with Fishmen Problend on-board pickup (mic and under saddle combo) to a JDI Radial passive DI box to the churches phantom powered PA. Sound was excellent and I did not have to change an EQ or volume setting. The sound blended well with all the amplified instruments and vocalists in the group. These new cheaper wireless units are a great leap in technology for those of us who do not want to spend pro-gear dollars of $800+ for wireless!

Thank you great product also delivery was very quick
