Xvive provides compact and affordable in-ear monitoring that does not come with an actual earpiece, so you can use your preferred headphones or earphones.

It is designed to be easy to use, operating on the 2.4Ghz frequency, with a range of over 90 feet with clear line of sight, making it more than enough for most small venues.

This system runs a rechargeable battery that can last up to 5 hours.

The thing that sets the Xvive system apart from the others is the transmitter's extremely small size. At first this might not seem like much of a big deal, but when you're jumping around on stage it feels like it's more secure and there's less size to get in the way of your guitar (I'm also a guitarist).

Having rechargeable batteries built in is also a plus for me because constantly having to buy disposable batteries really starts to add up if you play a lot of gigs. The only complaint I have is that the batteries aren't user serviceable, and as you probably know from your mobile phone, eventually the battery life will degrade and in a couple of years you will need to get it replaced.

Other than that, the XVive U4 is a good affordable investment for those who want to test the waters of in-ear monitoring.
