That doesn’t sound right. Dawn plugs her Xvive transmitter directly in to one of the Aux sends on our desk and gets a mono signal in both ears. EDIT: Sorry, I think I miss read your post. So the Xvixs are fine, just not stereo headphones? If so you can get an adapter or use the correct cable to sum them together so it should still work. Obviously in mono but in both ears.

Yeah, it’s noticeably heavier than the stock one, but once its clipped to my collar i didnt notice it.

I had my first outing (a gig) with my new KZ ZS10’s. Took me 3 songs to switch back to my MEE’s. I’ll keep them as a back up, but i found them not as enjoyable as the MEE’s. Each to their own i guess.

I always record my gigs and rehearsals with a small Roland digital recorder. This has a stereo out and I used this as my ambient source at the last rehearsal. it worked really, really well. It sits in the middle of the room and I had a really nice stereo mix in my IEM’s. Only issue was I was also in the room mix (although my direct volume was much more prominent so it wasn’t an issue)

Nice arrived today. Not as large as i thought, and a perfect fit for my cable. Highly recommended if you need to hold thicker cable.. -

Clipping the cable to clothing is exactly what you will be doing. Those smaller ones look like the one that comes with my MEE, so would be perfect if not for the smaller diameter. -

This thread reminded me that i don’t actually have one either, at least not on my new KZ’s. My MEE’s do and i do use it, so i just ordered this. Not dirt cheap, but my cable is 3.5mm so the one i posted above wouldn't have worked. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PLDTNWT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 -

A quick Google using ‘cable clip for IEM’ came up with this. £4 for 20 lol. https://www.amazon.co.uk/yiwoo-Earphone-Earbud-Headphone-Wire(black)-Black/dp/B0831F3DFJ/ref=asc_df_B0831F3DFJ/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=394316852066&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12267905350168597800&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006886&hvtargid=pla-863074590628&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=87233666292&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=394316852066&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12267905350168597800&hvqmt=&hvdev=t&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006886&hvtargid=pla-863074590628 -
Wireless IEMs: Xvive U4 & alternatives
dave_bass5 replied to Al Krow's topic in Accessories and Misc
I thought we discovered its not the output of the desk, as we got the noise through the Xvive when it wasnt connected to the desk, just close to it. Once we turned the desk off the noise went. This was when the transmitter was plugged in to my desk with the receiver close to the Zoom desk. -

dave_bass5 replied to Al Krow's topic in Accessories and Misc
Could be on to something. We also noticed when the receiver was next to the Zoom desk, which was on, it was also causing this interference, even though the transmitter was in the Mackie desk (so it wasn’t coming from that). -
The feel difference alone is huge between the two. When i was researching getting her the 10 Pros a few years ago i read so many posts about upgrading the cable, that i got the cable as well. She used it for a while but then got another cable (mainly as she wanted a black one). Glad i didn't have to spend more money myself lol.
-
This is how I felt when I tried my singers ones. Now I use foam tips I find them more comfortable.

Just wondering if any/how many upgrade the cable that comes with the KZ’s. I had this lying around for ages, and it’s feels so much nicer. Also doesn’t tangle like the supplied one. It also has a straight Jack which I prefer. It’s supposed to sound better as it’s got 16 cores but I can’t really hear that. I got it for my singer ages ago but she prefers the OEM one. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07ZQCBYXS/ref=pe_27063361_487055811_TE_dp_1

Cheers guys. I decided to give them a go and very happy with them so far. I got them off a guy i bumped in to last night at our rehearsal stuido who has just equipped a band with them, and then realised he brought two pairs too many lol. Not sure how different they sound compared to the non X version, but they seem to fit and feel slightly better in my ears than the non X. Not sure id say they sound better than my MEE’s, but the fact that the top end is clearer might help at gigs. Im using Sonicfoam SF1 Large and these seem to fit really well. I’ll see if i can do a comparison over the weekend between the two models, but for £25 im very happy. Even if i use them as a back up.

Question about the KZ ZS10 and similar. There seems to be a few different brands of these, I was wondering if there is a preferred one or are they all just clones of each other? I had ordered a pair of the KZ ZS10 Pro X from the KZ global store (via Aliexpress), but have just been offered a pair of the same ones but branded Yinyoo. They look identical and ive been offered them for £25, boxed and unopened.

Must admit the L-12 looks very tempting for my band. I see no need for a desk upgrade at the moment, if it works it works so why change it?, but if i can convince them to go to IEM’s then it looks perfect.

No sure if this would help, but have you tried your Boss wireless with that mixer? We know the Boss doesn't have an issue. -

I still say it’s faulty. You shouldn’t be forced to do any of this IME. Both ours are plugged in to our desk without any buzz or interference. Granted its not a digital desk like yours, but if your U4 is that sensitive id at least get it swapped over for a new one, just to confirm its normal. -

Well i don’t use them personally, but both member of my band have had this issue. I guess they need to be more careful and not just accept it. I will have more words 😎 -
No problem. if I wasn’t using an ambient mic I’d still be using the little Behringer desk, but as good as it is it lacked this one feature.
-
Yeah, I looked at that a while ago. Not going to work and too expensive. The Mackie i got is perfect. I can route any channel to only phones/main or both. Very handy.

dave_bass5 replied to Al Krow's topic in Accessories and Misc
Well as Dawn has them already and I’ve tried them I still prefer my MEE’s. I think I have said that in the main IEM thread at some point. I do find them a bit harsh and cold, but that’s with keys so maybe they are better for bass and guitar. Actually I cancelled that order and got the X version instead. Might as well get something slightly different. I don’t plan on using them as my main IEM, they seem a bit heavier and less secure, but I may find at some point I’ll use them. At least I’ll have a back up. I’ll probably get a better cable as well. I can’t remember what I got Dawn but I remember it being highly recommended at the time. It certainly seems to hang better than the OEM one. -

I finally gave in to the AliExpress offer and ordered a set of ZS 10 Pros. It sounds silly but i found a box of Sonicfoam ear tips that i got ages ago by mistake for my MEE’s, which were the wrong size. These are the SF1’s which apparently fit the ZS 10’s, so rather than have them go to waste lol. -

The problem is the on/off switch is very, very easily nudged when it’s in something that allows it to move around or something else moving against it. -

Makes sense. I wish I liked the ZS pros more. They just seem a bit heavy and more clumsy in my odd ears. I also love the stiff wire that hooks over the ears on mine. If I didn’t have the ones I have I’d have brought yours, but for now I think I’m settled.
