My teeth hurt!
Xvive Audio U3C Set Wireless Plug-On System for Condenser Microphones (2.4 GHz)
Reviewed by Sang on B&H Photo Video
I really wanted to love this! But when I plug it in there is a high pitch whining sound, much like getting your teeth drilled. When you cup the transmitter, it goes more quiet. I tried it on my Countryman b3 mic, and my senheiser shotgun mic. Same thing. But on my Rode diaphragm mic, it was quiet... weird. I tried different channels, I tried turning off my router (they say it can interfere). I sent it back and got a different one, thinking it was broken. Nope, its the same thing. Sending it back again. Unless you only use it to film a dental procedure, the whining sound (on certain mics) will be there. Bummer. Now I have to get the rode wireless go (a plastic toy...). ... More
Great idea, but garbage.

The idea of this product is fantastic. I use a Shure Beta 87A Microphone. I wanted to loose the wires, so I gave this a chance. Xvive claims you can use up to 6 units at a time. That is far from accurate. The phantom power feature does work, but when following all of the clearance from "other wireless devices" warnings, the devices drop signal often even using them within 30 feet of the receivers. I do not recommend wasting your money. Took over a week to get here and once it arrived it was a total let down. ... More
Maybe on the next version it can get 4 or 5 stars

They are a good size, I'm ok that they have built in rechargeable batteries, the regular noise floor with condenser mics seem ok. But what is up with the extrainious noise that can come and go depending or whether you touch the transmitter, change mics (some are better than others), or add a cable between the mic and transmitter. Noise spikes are dominant at 670, 1.33k, 2k, and 4kHz with harmonics hear and there. One other peeve is the trasmitter does not allow you to turn off phantom, instead it allows switching between 12 volt and 48 volt systems. To not have phantom you need to buy a different set. Too bad about the noise, I could use a phantom blocker. ... More
The U3C will be great... IF I can solve one problem: HISS!
XVive U3C Condenser Microphone Wireless System
Reviewed by Mister M on Guitar Center
Purchased the XVIVE U3C to serve as my wireless rig for my Crown CM311 headset performance mic. Goal was to reduce the size, weight and packing of wireless rig for touring by replacing a large AT rack rig with cig pack size transmitter with the U3C. Was able to successfully XLR-rewire the CM311 to work with the U3C. HOWEVER, the U3C Receiver has a lo-mid to midrange hiss that I cannot eliminate. I can EQ the hiss down, but not out. Can reduce the hiss slightly using different channel choices, but I cannot eliminate it. Should be silent, no noise. The mic signal is good; the noise level is high. My recommendation will be solely based upon elimination of the hiss. Can't recommend it yet. Eliminating the hiss will make the UC3 a MUST HAVE! All rides on this one problem.
Good but 2 points of caution

These are really easy to use. Sound is mostly very clear. Occasional interference is usually solved by switching channels. FIRST: The range is NOT 90'. Not even close. Beyond 15-20' you will get distortion, always! SECOND: Caution attaching to certain camcorders (Canon XF400, certain Sonys). If the XLR release is a simple push toward the receiver, DO NOT USE IT. Use only with releases that push in to the XLR port. Because the receiver body is wide, it will lock on the first type and be unremovable forever. I had to file a $500 insurance claim for one that got stuck onto a Canon MA-400. ... More

Works great!

You can't tell that it's there other than by the absence of microphone. There are now two less cables to worry about. Even though I rate the U3C highly, here are some things I would like to see: 1) replaceable batteries, so that I can keep going during long sessions 2) ability to change the relative position of the channel and power switches. The switches can be difficult to see in certain setups. 3) fully charged batteries should be indicated by an LED. No LED at fully charged, in my view, is ambiguous
Works Great and Very Convenient

This wireless set makes run and gun shooting very convenient. So far it works well with my Sennheiser ME66 but not so well with my Azden SGM 250 CX which causes an annoying, high pitched whine. Just take the time to test your microphone with this. I purchased two of these. They charge fast.
Delicate and Accidentally Turn On

Reviewed by Tomas on B&H Photo Video
The power switch on both devices easily accidentally turn on and does does turn off by itself and will eventually discharge. Not water sealed. Comes with inexpensive pouch that protects it from scratches and nothing else.
So far so good

Easy setup and super convenient. I'll have to update once I've been able to see how they continue to perform.

Great device. I'm using it with an AKG C519 mic. It replaced the bulky AKG receiver and transmitter.
