Hey everyone, the scammers have found their way to my channel. ANY comment that asks you to send something to a text or a WhatsApp number (ESPECIALLY if they have the number in their name) is 100% , always, zero doubt, absolutely a scam. That's true ANYWHERE on social media. You'll notice that my name has a grey background behind "Scott Uhl." That's how you know it's really a response coming from the creator of the channel. Do NOT contact the scammers/assholes!
I got a set of these and they worked great. I walked all about my house and never had an issue. I can also use them for transmitting from my iPad to my splitter cable for backing tracks with a male to male adapter if I have to. Very much worth the money.
Use it for small gigs in small bars for some month. And finally, there was stage in the music club, where sound engineer could not take monitor AUX to the stage, there was no empty XLR outs in patch panel on the stage. So, I have to put transmitter to AUX in Behringer X32 that was located behind the crowd (about ~100 people). So, there was about 30 feet and lots of people between transmitter and 4 recievers. I was ready to switch to stage monitor PA system. I was 100% shure that this cant work in this situation: too long distance, too much people, wifi routers and wifi router in X32. But it works perfectly! I'm impressed so much. Thank you again for this review.
It’s definitely an affordable way to get introduced to in ears! Or of course you can always go wired to start :) but yes these would be great for that!
@@ScottUhlMusic Idk if you remember previous comments I did on your videos, but next week I'm getting an FM transmitter to try out IEM monitoring via FM. It's gonna be ghetto, but if it works I'll let you know!
What exactly is the difference between TRS and TRRS cables? Mine came with 2 TRRS cables and a charging cable. Should I use a TRS cable with an XLR adapter? Thanks so much!
I wouldn’t recommend using 2 of these at once. It probably will work. But I don’t recommend that. Watch this video, and mistake #3 specifically: 5 COMMON MISTAKES When Using WIRELESS MUSIC GEAR th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.html
Hey Scott, so I ordered a behringer ps2 after watching your video about making it wireless by using a guitar wireless system and then I stumbled across this! The behringer hasn't arrived but I can send it back to Sweetwater. Is this a better option? I'm in an acoustic duo and we play through a jbl eon mk2. I'm the only singer and most of the time placing it slightly behind us works fine but in some instances I have found it necessary to place it slightly ahead if we're in a really reflective noisy venue and it sometimes is hard hear myself and especially backing tracks and thought something like this would help without having to bring a monitor wedge. Jbl has a 1/4 pass through. Stick with my forthcoming p2 and a guitar wireless or send it back and get this? I bought my nux B-5rc for my acoustic guitar based on your review and it's been great, thanks!
These do not have a way to change channels, so it will be the least reliable wireless IEM system. If that’s okay with you, then yeah these are great! If it’s not the end of the world if your wireless iems do not work, these are awesome. Especially for acoustic
The P2 is a wired headphone amp. So you plug in an xlr. If you use it with a wireless guitar system like I mention in that IEM hack video, you can usually change channels on those
Thanks. I ordered both and see if I have any issues with the lekato interfering with my Nux b5rc wireless I use on my acoustic. If it doesn't I'll keep it, if it does I'll go the p2 route with a joyo or something that can switch channels. Thanks!
So as you warned, this system conflicted with my nux br5 (unfortunately I bought the 2.4 ghz version), my guitar kept cutting out. I really wanted to try these so I plugged my guitar in direct and they worked fine. I really want to go all wireless though so I am sending these back and ordering a set of swiff wireless to use with my behringer p4. And I'll also have a backup wireless for my guitar now. Great idea! Thanks so much for your reviews!
Amazing review Scott, the fact that you actually try all these products at actual gigs is so valuable. Most "reviewers" on TH-cam don't have any real world experience and only demo the gear in their super controlled studio conditions.
The sound on mine is totally distorted! No matter the volume or gain on the mixer. I too use the Behringer XR18 and X32R. Can't believe you use it at live gigs. I just can't get it to sound good. Really sucks... I also have the Xvive U4 that sounds way better!
Hmm… yeah I definitely used this with my x18. But again, I was more solo/acoustic which is more what these are meant for. And the U4 has the switch to set the impedance properly which really helps. I’m curious why these were so distorted for you.
"Wall distance" is in reference to RF bouncing off of walls and phase cancelling. If you ever see a wireless receiver with two antennas, that's RF diversity...a means in which there are two antennas that are actively switched between to retain the best signal. Just some nerd facts for you. Thanks for your content!
Found your page a few months ago as getting into in ears. Love your tech tips and have shared your page with others. I bought the cca buds and they are awesome. Think I might get this system as a backup. Thanks again Scott for breaking it down into all the relevant points to consider.
Love the honest reviews and opinions on gear. As a rookie I appreciate how you break things down to help guys like me understand things better. I've never owned a set of in ears, but wouldn't mind trying it out with one of these budget sets.
@@ScottUhlMusic I just got a reply comment from someone using your profile picture telling me I was a winner, telling me to text a certain number. Freaking scammers. Thankfully I went back and watched the video, and the comment is no longer here so I know it was fake. I took a screenshot, I can send it to you somehow if you'd like.
Yeah I just blocked that user. Sorry about that. I despise the scammers so much. I took the giveaway text out of the title of the video. That might be how they are targeting my page. I hope everyone knows that anything with a text or WhatsApp number in the title of their name is always 100% zero question a scammer. Thanks for letting me know
PICKLES, MAN! I like your content, you seem to have a niche carved out with the cheap stuff that we all look at but won't take the leap; you provide a service!
Would you recommend or has anyone used this product with backing tracks with click track? Maybe send click signal LEFT to receivers and house RIGHT plugged in? Let me know if you guys have used them in such a way
I’ve done that with this one: My STEREO WIRELESS Transmitter for Backing Tracks th-cam.com/video/IelJjsXatmU/w-d-xo.html It works most of the time if you want to take that risk with cheaper wireless 👍
Great for practicing and small gigs, but terrible for something more serious. We’ve encountered a huge amount of dropouts in signal in 3 receivers out of 5 on stage, and we’re not going to use it for live performance anymore because of this, and we’re switching to a proper UHF system. To be more specific, these devices worked great during soundcheck, but once the hall was filled with 300+ people with smartphones, these iem’s flopped really hard.
You should NOT be using “the actual cheapest IEM system on Amazon” in large serious situations. These are for smaller gigs for sure. I suggest watching this video: th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XKQncDqWiIMwjvYQ
Just got this last night. Works on my mixer headphone out and line outs. Stereo separation is not 100% but it works for panning vocals, keys and guitars for my live iem monitor mix. I’ll try it out on my next gig with a wired back up. It’s going to be great live and in my studio. Thanks for the heads up on this great piece of gear. UPDATE: I can definitely hear the delay when singing. The slight delay caused by the combination of my digital mixer plus the iem delay results in a noticeable chorus/delay between the sound of my voice in my head and the iems. Not terrible but it’s there. Much less noticeable at higher iem volume levels and even better when you take the vocal out of your wedge.
Hi Scott, I'm just curious - you mentioned near the beginning that it is NOT a true stereo system. However it has TRS plugs supplied. Could you expand upon what you mean by 'not stereo'. I'm looking for a wireless solution for stereo guitar from the mini mixer at my feet on stage. My HX Stomp feeds into the mixer in stereo and the band MONO mix is blended in. At the moment I'm 'cabled-up' to be able to hear my stereo GUITAR mix. It's a pain because I have to leave the stage many times during our concerts whilst an MC takes over.
“True stereo” for a wireless IEM system is where you have two inputs into the transmitter and then are able to pan the mix that you from a mixer or something like that. But this can get a stereo signal from a laptop or iPhone or something like that if you use a TRS or TRRS cable 👍
Thanks for these videos, Scott. Most of the gear for IEM for casual bands is pretty far out of a reasonable budget. It's nice to see honest reviews of budget gear in this area!
Thanks Ben! I appreciate it. And yeah, budget stuff is important for a lot of musicians, but it’s important to know the details about them. I’ve seen many bands go “oh awesome, we can get all 5 wireless IEM systems at this price” and then maybe it works at their rehearsal space, but falls apart at a live concert. It’s definitely important to understand the limitations while saving money. Because they are still useable for sure, just limited.
@@ScottUhlMusic What's your experience with bands splitting costs of something like an X32 or X-Air? Is this a generally bad idea? Any tips here? (Possible topic for a future video!)
Oh man, that’s a whole band dynamic topic haha. I would figure out what happens to the gear if someone leaves and/or is fired and agree upon that ahead of time. In my experience, it’s often better for just one person to buy it if possible. That way there is no argument when someone leaves or gets fired.
Scott. I am an amateur and play acoustic guitar often with large open jams I find that indoors, I often cannot hear myself at all. I do have an active Fishman pickup that came with my guitar. Would some sort of IEM system work in this case? If so, how would you set this up? Thanks
Yup, an IEM system would work great for something like this. Usually going into a mixer is best and using an AUX out works well. Some cheap stuff doesn’t work as well with other gear, but that’s all trial and error
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks Scott. It actually works great with my Fishman Guitar pickup. Again, only using in jam sessions to hear myself when acoustics suck. Another question, do you know of an inexpensive pickup or microphone that I could use the same way on my banjo. It’s only going through Lekato and to ear phones. Since quality sound here isn’t an issue, I would think is there is a small battery powered mic, I might be able to just attach inside the regulator. Thank you again and thanks for the videos. Gary
The system itself doesn’t have noticeable latency. You might be getting compounded latency if you have multiple things causing latency. I’ve gigged with these before for live looping. If there was latency, there would be no way I could do that.
Great video Scott! Always well-done. I ordered a Phenyx Pro PTM 10 IEM based on yours and many others recommendations. Getting an HX Stomp soon and I’ll be getting a lot of training from you on that! Thanks for making great content!
I just bought it here in Germany for 20% off x'D so it was 55,99 €. And I mainly play solo: acoustic guitar, loop-station, vocals, that's it. And I do lots of busking and I hope that this tiny piece of gear will make my life so much easier. When I play gigs I often use a PA and use my amp as monitor. But while busking everything comes out of one single acoustic amp and this little thing will go into the main-out. Especially when I'm singing it's often difficult to hear my own recorded loops and obviously I always only have one sound source. For busking the battery life could be an issue, because I often play for many hours a day, but if this thing really works as well as I hope it does, I will just get another pair of these.
i imagine that XLR female to 1/8" cable has the XLR pin 3 (signal -) shorted to ground, or pins 2 and 3 are merged, which is why it works without noise. If you are using a 1/4" TRS male to 1/8" female adapter, to adapt the 1/4" from your mixer to the 1/8" of the included TRRS cable, where does this signal (-) go? wouldn't it become the right side ear and just be noise? perhaps that mono/stereo switch negates it when set to mono? i would think the 1/8" input on the transmitter is an 1/8" stereo input right?
Absolutely great video! Love the no BS, but also humorous presentation. I'm not a musician, I was actually looking for a way to convert my IEMs into wireless ones, with low latency for competitive PC gaming and your video was really helpful! (I hate being tethered to my AMP/PC/desk, but a small rectangle in my pocket is OK) Now I don't have to buy a "gaming" set of wireless earbuds, which would probably sound worse than the great IEMs I already have!
Your in ear monitoring bargain review was fantastic, informative, and honest. Trying to get in ear gear on a tight budget myself, thanks for your help homie.
A lot of people were saying the sound quality is terrible and crackly/noisy. When I first plugged them in it was clipping extremely bad. All you have to do is turn the headphones output volume down until it's clear. This is an amazing deal! I'm buying another one asap!
Glad it’s working well for you! Just remember the more 2.4Ghz gear at once, the more likely they won’t work. I personally don’t recommend using more than 2 at once. But for the price, these are great!
@@ScottUhlMusic Sorry if this is a dumb question Scott. I was wondering if you are able to use 2.4 for something and maybe 5.8 for something else in your rig? I would think that everything you are using would need to be the same frequency? I've never used wireless gear before.
This has a switch for stereo vs mono, so that’s not necessary. Just switch this to stereo. What I believe you mean is “true stereo” which requires 2 inputs into the transmitter and a way to pan on the receiver
It is a stereo system. The input is 2 channels. If you receive the signal from a board you using 2 AUX sends, for instance, or the PHONES output, you can have a nice stereo mix!
@@ScottUhlMusic mine is stereo though, mono switch will combine 2 inputs not panned while switching to stereo will pan each signal to extreme left and right. U may need to check your cable. Mine works
so so so sooooo helpful - man, you hit basically every question I was asking in my head as I watched and wondered "but what about x,y, or z?" ... informative and to the point at the same time, that's no easy thing to do - excellent review! headed over to check out some more of your videos now - tips/tricks for backing tracks & comparing some in-ear monitoring buds both seem so timely, as we're making the move to using both of those for a show at the end of October. cheers!
Thanks Scott. I tried the Kimafun system. They worked well for me. I would love to try the Lekato for solo work. I also found the CCA in ears worked well for me too. Thanks for the reviews. Very helpful. Rory
Awesome vid Scott as always. just an FYI on the Behringer mixers built in wifi. Its been notorious for how bad its wifi router is. the best practice is to buy and external router and plug the Behringer into that instead.
Oh yeah, I almost always do! Just for my solo set once I have it set I never really have to touch it. I have a mini portable router I usually use. I just got lazy for that one, even though it takes like 30 seconds to setup lol. But yes I agree, definitely use an external router with those!
I had a cheaper Debra wireless system that was mono, the ER-102 or something, and I found that the audio coming through was a little harsh and that the mono signal kinda messed with my brain. Obviously I'm used to stereo fields out of regular headphones. Before I purchase another system, I kinda wanted to get someone's advice about the difference in sound from a stereo to mono type system. Will the stereo system have a wider sound field? Or is it just to L/R 2 signals? ie: I want to just jam with music, I want it to sound like I'm listening to it on my earbuds from spotify, and then incorporate my guitar over it...will it be a left/right scenario? Will it just sound like the mono, and I'm wasting my time looking for a stereo wireless, or should I just get a proper stereo wireless instead of muckin about with these mono signals? Cuz Debra has the ST-102 that is supposed to be stereo, vs that ER-102. I'm not playing any clubs, I'll be just jamming around the house and streaming online. Cheers everyone!
Hi. We're looking for a wireless in-ear monitor syst for my wife. She is a violinist and play on small and medium venues, most of the time crowed of people. She is using a wireless VHF mic and other times a wireless pickup (both bluetooth). Amplified by a Bose S1 Pro+. Do you think this will work fine for her? Thank you so much
The input in the transmitter is a Stereo Aux In and the Phone Out in the receiver is Stereo as well. You just have to run it with a splitter in the case of stereo IEM setup. I use it with my existing gear with wireless guitar system and it's like having a Waza Air for about $50. 😁Without the gyroscope.
So i got this one, and returned it, because they have no bass and barely any mids. I ordered NUX B-7PSM 5.8 GHz. Will see if the sound is better. When i plug-in headphones directly to same output i get nice full sound
Hello Scott, there are some supposedly 5.8G IEM system tinier than the mwave ones selling for 20usd on aliexpress, sadly I can’t paste links here for you to check so if you can check them, please give them a try and a review
Pros: Amazing sound quality, better than most cheap (albeit much more expensive) analog transmitters; stupidly portable and lightweight; everything runs on batteries. Cons: Does cut out quite a bit in concerts, since everybody is using wifi; SUPER fragile. I've had 2, one of them failed, and 3 friends of mine had theirs fail in less than a year after purchase. I'm still using mine and love it, paid about $30,00 on Aliexpress, but I'm aware someday it just won't turn on anymore, as did all others (all of them had issues on the ON button).
And BTW... They are actually stereo, you just need an adapter. I use my monitoring output on the XR18, and also have a 2 xlr / 3.5mm stereo adapter and it works like a charm
Hi Scott, I've deleted and reworded my previous question as it also didn't make sense to me when i came back to it! I just want to have a wireless system for guitar practice, so, using this wireless IEM system in this video, theoretically i should be able to ...? SCENARIO 1.... Use a wireless transmitter system, like the ones you posted in the video... th-cam.com/video/A2183MfZWgQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0HWCFIvlk2m1bZbq (i'll call these GROUP 1 and refer to them again further down the post) between a guitar, sending to a receiver plugged into a guitar multi Fx pedal, and then using a 2nd wireless system, like the wireless IEM system you are now reviewing , to transmit from the headphones out on the multi FX, to the receiver which i can then plug into any type of headphones that have a 3.5mm input socket, so becoming (almost! ) truly wireless? ( or, like in your original answer, instead of headphones, go to wired in ears type buds, but that's not going to be as good a sound quality via in ears?) SCENARIO 2... I could, instead of using the wireless IEM system between multi FX + headphones, just use a 2nd wireless system from GROUP 1 above, to go out of the headphone jack of the multi FX pedal, sending to a 2nd guitar receiver that i can just plug straight into some headphones that have a 3.5mm input. (probably needing a 6.3mm to 3.5mm convertor )? I see that you have also just recently posted a review of some truly wireless headphones ( not meaning Bluetooth, although you say they do also have BT capability for music streaming)... This review, of the AiAiAi TMA2 ... th-cam.com/video/V_sHXtqVR-U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AgKctXN0t5LXqMGr Well, this is good timing, and is exactly what I was looking for, but a bit pricey! Having read some of the comments on that video, my question is answered, with respect to my Scenario 2, as someone is using the same idea as a cheaper way to achieve wireless headphones (for "real time"/ low latency, private listening, whilst playing an instrument) But of the Scenario 1 and 2, assuming they will both work, which do you think would be the better set up? I suppose battery life of the GROUP 1 wireless sytems will be better than just 5 hrs on this wireless IEM system you reviewed here. The receiver dongle plugged direct to headphones might be a bit annoying to wear? .... could depend on where and what position the wireless receiver sits in after plugging in. I was really surprised, having just recently took an interest in guitar playing again, that these kind of wireless headphones, for guitar / bass, aren't common on the market anyway, so had started looking at other ways to try to go truly wireless, such as my 2 scenarios above. Previously, years ago, i have used a cheap UHF tv type of listening headphones from MultiFx pedal , and was considering buying some better quality ones, Sennheiser do some, but perhaps the tones will be optimised more for cinema type of film watching + listening with boomy bass ? So i'll probably try a wireless set up with something like the Audio Technica ATHM50XBT headphones, and other well reviewed examples. I guess, now that you've reviewed the AiAiAi TMA2, there'll be more coming onto the market, and you hopefully will be doing a best of true wireless headphones review sometime within the next year :) Thanks :)
Would you recommend for someone who is speaking at a church. I want one to use for when I’m speaking. Church isn’t large. Seats about 225 in the sanctuary
This one was so cheap and didn't even have a brand name. I copy and paste in .{Wireless Guitar Transmitter Receiver, Digital Wireless Guitar System with Two Micro USB Plugs,Rechargeable Audio Wireless System for Electric Guitar Bass Violin}
Thanks for the video. Quick question my vocals in the in ear monitors sound quality is great for the music but not good for the vocals. Would you have any ideas? I’ve tried messing with levels but with no luck. Thanks for the video again
That could be so many things. Probably sending too hot of a signal into it. I would start there. These are also quite cheap so they can “overload” easily I think as well.
You can, but do not use a bunch of cheap wireless all at once. I don’t recommend running more than 2 of these at once. th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.html
Hi. I have a question. Can it still work properly if I use 2 wireless system. Like that wireless in ear monitor system and the other wireless transmitter/receiver from my guitar to the gadget? Like they have the same frequency (2.4 gHz). Can the signal mixed up?
You can use 2 wireless at once in most situations. It ALWAYS depends on the environment of the venue, so there is no yes or no answer to that. But in general? Yes, you can use 2 system at once on 2.4ghz. Will it work every time at every venue? No
Great video. I'm considering this for my project (2 members). Question 1: Has anyone tried 2 transmitters + 2 receivers at the same time? Question 2: I use Ableton live to process the vocals. What about the latency in this situation? It's possible to compensate? Regards from Spain.
2 systems at once should be fine. Just remember, these are the cheapest IEMs I could find, and manage your expectations. Your computer might give you latency if the buffer size is too high. Other than that is should be fine 👍
Hi Scott, I was looking for cheap IEMs and I found your video. I'd like to ask if lekato good to use if you're a drummer? is the latency affect on playing with other band member if I'm the only one using wireless IEM.
No, there won’t be latency with these (unless you are getting multiple sources of latency or something like that with it compounding). These are a good system, but also THE cheapest one I’ve ever found, so just manage your expectations
Awesome review man; I subbed a while back when we first started setting up our IEM system for our worship band but now we are planning on starting up a smaller band made up of children that are ready to hit the stage. Your channel helps us out a lot on both ends. You inspired our more professional set-up and gear for the main band and now for the little ones we might incorporate a Lekato IEM's system bc as you said its cheap and I believe it'll make the kids feel more professional and in the event that one of the receivers is damaged, it won't be a big deal as it isn't as expensive as our more professional gear. It also won't make that big of a dent in our wallets! Again, thank you so much for your work man keep it up & God bless!
So can I just check. I could run this from my bass amp headphone out to my headphones to be wireless? I could then use a guitar 5.8 ghz wireless system for.cable free practice?
You can run these out of your bass amp and then use your 5.8ghz wireless for your bass, yes 👍 Again, just keep in mind you have no way to change the channel on these. If you get interference, you cannot do anything about it 👍
I got this system and have been trying to use it for a few months. I get a lot of interference very frequently which makes them pretty much useless. I’ve tried making sure no cell phones or other similar devices, but that made no difference.
If you bring any wireless that does NOT have a way to change channels like this one… if that channel is taken, there is nothing you can do. The more channel options the better. With any wireless
What would you recommend for a Wireless IEM setup just to use with a Desktop PC (for daily use, gaming, videos, music, etc.)? I have IEMs and a good DAC already I just hate being tethered to my desk. Like if I have to turn around and grab something and forget I'm connected the headphone jack rips out of the DAC or worse breaks (which I've had happen before) I just want my DAC transmitted wirelessly to my IEMs so I can wear them over ear and the chord going behind me instead of over the ear but in front and in the way. I understand that quality will never be as good as direct input but just looking for the best way with least amount of quality loss in the process. Can anyone recommend anything that would help with this?
For something like that, these can be good! 2.4ghz might get interference from a Wi-Fi router, so keep it away from those. Try them out, return them if they don’t work 👍
So I live in a small apartment with thin walls and I'm nocturnal. I would use regular headphones with my amp but I cant stand the cord. It really makes it hard to find good practice time. I'm also going guitar cord free. Is this a suitable option for just being a cordless headphones? Or is there a better option out there? I bought a cheap Bluetooth transmitter/receiver but it had like .25 seconds of latency so I expect I'll use it for a different purpose like sending a signal to my phone to record probably.
Do not use too much cheap wireless all at once. Unfortunately, going “we are on a tight budget, but we need 6+ wireless all at once” isn’t really how wireless works. Watch my video here: th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.html
Gigged with these three times. Let me down three times. Intermittently losing signal when fully charged and the transmitter and receiver are only a couple of meters away. They work fine in the house.
Sorry to hear that. As you can see with the comments, it doesn’t happen to everyone. It all depends on the environment. You are performing in a heavy RF environment and have no way to change the channel on these. That’s part of the risk that I mentioned in the video
I play guitar and drums at church. I hate playing guitar and feeling tethered to an ME-1 personal mixer (go check those out). I'm gonna be on guitar for all of March and I hope this Lekato thing works at church. Wish me luck.
Great video. With regards to stereo I use the xr18 and run aux 1 and 2 into my current wired set up so I can pan guitars left and right. Is this possible with this in ear system? Thanks
@scott uhl 5 sets of equipment can be supported to work at the same time, do they mean by that is 5 receivers and 1 transmitter or 4 receivers and 1 transmitter?
You can use 5 transmitters/5 receivers all at once but I do not recommend that. Please watch this video here: th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.html as well as this one: th-cam.com/video/RCrFKKr8WUA/w-d-xo.html
Hey. I tried this system out and you're wrong about one thing. This is a true stereo system, you just have to solder up some cables to run it that way.
Been looking at these types of iem for my band, would it be possible to send a true stereo signal by using a 3.5 trs to 2 mono xlr adaptor instead of the single one you shown in this ?
I haven’t tried that with this system. My personal opinion is if you are truly looking for true stereo iems, I would spend the money and get something at minimum like this (which is stereo): th-cam.com/video/dJL_zI2drRQ/w-d-xo.html Or save up money for Shure/sennheiser/audio technica stuff
If I understand your question, sounds like you want wireless xlr to go to a speaker. I do that with this system: WIRELESS XLR System w/ PHANTOM POWER! Kimafun XLR Wireless Review/Demo th-cam.com/video/mGETbUMKzG4/w-d-xo.html

Shit i thought i had won f....scammers.😑
Came back to double check smh thanks for letting us know 🤙🏽
Thank you for alerting us.
Rip. I lost money
Are you serious? I hope it’s just a joke comment
I got a set of these and they worked great. I walked all about my house and never had an issue. I can also use them for transmitting from my iPad to my splitter cable for backing tracks with a male to male adapter if I have to. Very much worth the money.
Use it for small gigs in small bars for some month. And finally, there was stage in the music club, where sound engineer could not take monitor AUX to the stage, there was no empty XLR outs in patch panel on the stage. So, I have to put transmitter to AUX in Behringer X32 that was located behind the crowd (about ~100 people). So, there was about 30 feet and lots of people between transmitter and 4 recievers. I was ready to switch to stage monitor PA system. I was 100% shure that this cant work in this situation: too long distance, too much people, wifi routers and wifi router in X32. But it works perfectly! I'm impressed so much. Thank you again for this review.
Nice! That’s pretty killer that it worked!
Yeah these work surprisingly well, I haven't had a failure yet. For anyone just playing bars and such this should be a good short term solution.
This is a perfect review for me… needed that to make a decision for a quick easy set up for small gigs…
Wow !!
I hope Scott is doing really good ❤️
Nice and informative video
Thanks 🤘
Great video! I could really use this for just starting to get into in ears. Pickles.
It’s definitely an affordable way to get introduced to in ears! Or of course you can always go wired to start :) but yes these would be great for that!
Hi Scott, thanks for all of your reviews. I'm just curious if you had to choose between the lekato IEM or the Kimafun. What would you choose?
Those are both about as cheap as it gets, so understand what you are buying. Kimafun because it has a way to change channels
Fantastic review!
Thank you!
Thank you!
@@ScottUhlMusic Idk if you remember previous comments I did on your videos, but next week I'm getting an FM transmitter to try out IEM monitoring via FM. It's gonna be ghetto, but if it works I'll let you know!
What exactly is the difference between TRS and TRRS cables? Mine came with 2 TRRS cables and a charging cable. Should I use a TRS cable with an XLR adapter?
Thanks so much!
TRRS is for connecting to phones/tablets I believe. I’m not as familiar with them
Good afternoon, what impedance do the receiver and transmitter have?
I don’t remember off hand. Should be listed, but these are very very cheap so set your expectations on everything it can do accordingly
So, without the option to change channels, can two units operate together at the same time?
I wouldn’t recommend using 2 of these at once. It probably will work. But I don’t recommend that. Watch this video, and mistake #3 specifically: 5 COMMON MISTAKES When Using WIRELESS MUSIC GEAR
th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.html
Hey Scott, so I ordered a behringer ps2 after watching your video about making it wireless by using a guitar wireless system and then I stumbled across this! The behringer hasn't arrived but I can send it back to Sweetwater. Is this a better option? I'm in an acoustic duo and we play through a jbl eon mk2. I'm the only singer and most of the time placing it slightly behind us works fine but in some instances I have found it necessary to place it slightly ahead if we're in a really reflective noisy venue and it sometimes is hard hear myself and especially backing tracks and thought something like this would help without having to bring a monitor wedge. Jbl has a 1/4 pass through. Stick with my forthcoming p2 and a guitar wireless or send it back and get this? I bought my nux B-5rc for my acoustic guitar based on your review and it's been great, thanks!
These do not have a way to change channels, so it will be the least reliable wireless IEM system. If that’s okay with you, then yeah these are great! If it’s not the end of the world if your wireless iems do not work, these are awesome. Especially for acoustic
@@ScottUhlMusic but the p2 doesn't have a way to change channels either does it?
The P2 is a wired headphone amp. So you plug in an xlr. If you use it with a wireless guitar system like I mention in that IEM hack video, you can usually change channels on those
Thanks. I ordered both and see if I have any issues with the lekato interfering with my Nux b5rc wireless I use on my acoustic. If it doesn't I'll keep it, if it does I'll go the p2 route with a joyo or something that can switch channels. Thanks!
So as you warned, this system conflicted with my nux br5 (unfortunately I bought the 2.4 ghz version), my guitar kept cutting out. I really wanted to try these so I plugged my guitar in direct and they worked fine. I really want to go all wireless though so I am sending these back and ordering a set of swiff wireless to use with my behringer p4. And I'll also have a backup wireless for my guitar now. Great idea! Thanks so much for your reviews!
Amazing review Scott, the fact that you actually try all these products at actual gigs is so valuable. Most "reviewers" on TH-cam don't have any real world experience and only demo the gear in their super controlled studio conditions.
Thanks! And I agree, I always want to test my gear out before I use it! I think it’s very important for sure
The sound on mine is totally distorted! No matter the volume or gain on the mixer. I too use the Behringer XR18 and X32R. Can't believe you use it at live gigs. I just can't get it to sound good. Really sucks... I also have the Xvive U4 that sounds way better!
Hmm… yeah I definitely used this with my x18. But again, I was more solo/acoustic which is more what these are meant for. And the U4 has the switch to set the impedance properly which really helps. I’m curious why these were so distorted for you.
"Wall distance" is in reference to RF bouncing off of walls and phase cancelling. If you ever see a wireless receiver with two antennas, that's RF diversity...a means in which there are two antennas that are actively switched between to retain the best signal. Just some nerd facts for you. Thanks for your content!
Thanks for commenting! I appreciate that! I know about RF diversity but I had not hear of “wall distance” 🤘
Good explanation of RF diversity. "Wall distance" in this case could also refer to how far you can get a signal going through a wall.
Found your page a few months ago as getting into in ears. Love your tech tips and have shared your page with others. I bought the cca buds and they are awesome. Think I might get this system as a backup. Thanks again Scott for breaking it down into all the relevant points to consider.
Thanks, I appreciate that! Thanks for sharing the videos 😊
Love the honest reviews and opinions on gear. As a rookie I appreciate how you break things down to help guys like me understand things better. I've never owned a set of in ears, but wouldn't mind trying it out with one of these budget sets.
Thanks Drew!
@@ScottUhlMusic I just got a reply comment from someone using your profile picture telling me I was a winner, telling me to text a certain number. Freaking scammers. Thankfully I went back and watched the video, and the comment is no longer here so I know it was fake. I took a screenshot, I can send it to you somehow if you'd like.
Yeah I just blocked that user. Sorry about that. I despise the scammers so much. I took the giveaway text out of the title of the video. That might be how they are targeting my page. I hope everyone knows that anything with a text or WhatsApp number in the title of their name is always 100% zero question a scammer. Thanks for letting me know
PICKLES, MAN!
I like your content, you seem to have a niche carved out with the cheap stuff that we all look at but won't take the leap; you provide a service!
Thanks Mark! I appreciate it! 🥒
Would you recommend or has anyone used this product with backing tracks with click track? Maybe send click signal LEFT to receivers and house RIGHT plugged in?
Let me know if you guys have used them in such a way
I’ve done that with this one: My STEREO WIRELESS Transmitter for Backing Tracks
th-cam.com/video/IelJjsXatmU/w-d-xo.html
It works most of the time if you want to take that risk with cheaper wireless 👍
Great for practicing and small gigs, but terrible for something more serious. We’ve encountered a huge amount of dropouts in signal in 3 receivers out of 5 on stage, and we’re not going to use it for live performance anymore because of this, and we’re switching to a proper UHF system.
To be more specific, these devices worked great during soundcheck, but once the hall was filled with 300+ people with smartphones, these iem’s flopped really hard.
You should NOT be using “the actual cheapest IEM system on Amazon” in large serious situations. These are for smaller gigs for sure.
I suggest watching this video: th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XKQncDqWiIMwjvYQ
Thanks for these reviews. It was great to hear about this.
However, I will return the “lekato ms-1” because it hasn’t audio quality. It is very noisy.
Just got this last night. Works on my mixer headphone out and line outs. Stereo separation is not 100% but it works for panning vocals, keys and guitars for my live iem monitor mix. I’ll try it out on my next gig with a wired back up. It’s going to be great live and in my studio. Thanks for the heads up on this great piece of gear.
UPDATE: I can definitely hear the delay when singing. The slight delay caused by the combination of my digital mixer plus the iem delay results in a noticeable chorus/delay between the sound of my voice in my head and the iems. Not terrible but it’s there. Much less noticeable at higher iem volume levels and even better when you take the vocal out of your wedge.
Awesome, glad it’s worked out well for you 🤘
Strange, for me stereo separation is 100%
@@simonasremeika6238 I might have a defective unit.
Hi Scott, I'm just curious - you mentioned near the beginning that it is NOT a true stereo system. However it has TRS plugs supplied. Could you expand upon what you mean by 'not stereo'. I'm looking for a wireless solution for stereo guitar from the mini mixer at my feet on stage. My HX Stomp feeds into the mixer in stereo and the band MONO mix is blended in. At the moment I'm 'cabled-up' to be able to hear my stereo GUITAR mix. It's a pain because I have to leave the stage many times during our concerts whilst an MC takes over.
“True stereo” for a wireless IEM system is where you have two inputs into the transmitter and then are able to pan the mix that you from a mixer or something like that. But this can get a stereo signal from a laptop or iPhone or something like that if you use a TRS or TRRS cable 👍
Thanks for these videos, Scott. Most of the gear for IEM for casual bands is pretty far out of a reasonable budget. It's nice to see honest reviews of budget gear in this area!
Thanks Ben! I appreciate it. And yeah, budget stuff is important for a lot of musicians, but it’s important to know the details about them. I’ve seen many bands go “oh awesome, we can get all 5 wireless IEM systems at this price” and then maybe it works at their rehearsal space, but falls apart at a live concert. It’s definitely important to understand the limitations while saving money. Because they are still useable for sure, just limited.
@@ScottUhlMusic What's your experience with bands splitting costs of something like an X32 or X-Air? Is this a generally bad idea? Any tips here? (Possible topic for a future video!)
Oh man, that’s a whole band dynamic topic haha. I would figure out what happens to the gear if someone leaves and/or is fired and agree upon that ahead of time. In my experience, it’s often better for just one person to buy it if possible. That way there is no argument when someone leaves or gets fired.
Scott. I am an amateur and play acoustic guitar often with large open jams I find that indoors, I often cannot hear myself at all. I do have an active Fishman pickup that came with my guitar. Would some sort of IEM system work in this case? If so, how would you set this up? Thanks
Yup, an IEM system would work great for something like this. Usually going into a mixer is best and using an AUX out works well. Some cheap stuff doesn’t work as well with other gear, but that’s all trial and error
@@ScottUhlMusic thanks Scott. It actually works great with my Fishman Guitar pickup. Again, only using in jam sessions to hear myself when acoustics suck. Another question, do you know of an inexpensive pickup or microphone that I could use the same way on my banjo. It’s only going through Lekato and to ear phones. Since quality sound here isn’t an issue, I would think is there is a small battery powered mic, I might be able to just attach inside the regulator. Thank you again and thanks for the videos. Gary
I just bought this setup. I noticed a bit of latency when testing it. I'll be trying it out though our Soundcraft ui24rat our next gig.
The system itself doesn’t have noticeable latency. You might be getting compounded latency if you have multiple things causing latency. I’ve gigged with these before for live looping. If there was latency, there would be no way I could do that.
Great video Scott! Always well-done. I ordered a Phenyx Pro PTM 10 IEM based on yours and many others recommendations. Getting an HX Stomp soon and I’ll be getting a lot of training from you on that! Thanks for making great content!
Awesome! Excellent gear choices. Thanks for following the channel!
I just bought it here in Germany for 20% off x'D so it was 55,99 €. And I mainly play solo: acoustic guitar, loop-station, vocals, that's it. And I do lots of busking and I hope that this tiny piece of gear will make my life so much easier. When I play gigs I often use a PA and use my amp as monitor. But while busking everything comes out of one single acoustic amp and this little thing will go into the main-out. Especially when I'm singing it's often difficult to hear my own recorded loops and obviously I always only have one sound source. For busking the battery life could be an issue, because I often play for many hours a day, but if this thing really works as well as I hope it does, I will just get another pair of these.
Yo it's $59 right now!
Nice!!
i imagine that XLR female to 1/8" cable has the XLR pin 3 (signal -) shorted to ground, or pins 2 and 3 are merged, which is why it works without noise. If you are using a 1/4" TRS male to 1/8" female adapter, to adapt the 1/4" from your mixer to the 1/8" of the included TRRS cable, where does this signal (-) go? wouldn't it become the right side ear and just be noise? perhaps that mono/stereo switch negates it when set to mono? i would think the 1/8" input on the transmitter is an 1/8" stereo input right?
Awesome video. Tx. PS wall distance could be indoors (in Chinese style English)
I just got these to use for my TH-cam setup. I hate the long cord to get to my camera so this was perfect.
Nice!!
Absolutely great video!
Love the no BS, but also humorous presentation.
I'm not a musician, I was actually looking for a way to convert my IEMs into wireless ones, with low latency for competitive PC gaming and your video was really helpful!
(I hate being tethered to my AMP/PC/desk, but a small rectangle in my pocket is OK)
Now I don't have to buy a "gaming" set of wireless earbuds, which would probably sound worse than the great IEMs I already have!
Thanks! Glad you liked the video!
Well, since so many companies watch your channel maybe Lekato MS-1 IEM may upgrade for more channels.
Your in ear monitoring bargain review was fantastic, informative, and honest. Trying to get in ear gear on a tight budget myself, thanks for your help homie.
Glad to help!
A lot of people were saying the sound quality is terrible and crackly/noisy. When I first plugged them in it was clipping extremely bad. All you have to do is turn the headphones output volume down until it's clear. This is an amazing deal! I'm buying another one asap!
Glad it’s working well for you! Just remember the more 2.4Ghz gear at once, the more likely they won’t work. I personally don’t recommend using more than 2 at once. But for the price, these are great!
@@ScottUhlMusic Sorry if this is a dumb question Scott. I was wondering if you are able to use 2.4 for something and maybe 5.8 for something else in your rig? I would think that everything you are using would need to be the same frequency? I've never used wireless gear before.
These could probably work really well in stereo if you combine two XLR outs into a single TRS cable to input into the transmitter.
This has a switch for stereo vs mono, so that’s not necessary. Just switch this to stereo. What I believe you mean is “true stereo” which requires 2 inputs into the transmitter and a way to pan on the receiver
It is a stereo system. The input is 2 channels. If you receive the signal from a board you using 2 AUX sends, for instance, or the PHONES output, you can have a nice stereo mix!
It’s not a “true stereo” where you can pan the signal, but you can transmit a stereo signal, correct
@@ScottUhlMusic mine is stereo though, mono switch will combine 2 inputs not panned while switching to stereo will pan each signal to extreme left and right. U may need to check your cable. Mine works

This is a great review. You answered every question I had. Thanks
so so so sooooo helpful - man, you hit basically every question I was asking in my head as I watched and wondered "but what about x,y, or z?" ... informative and to the point at the same time, that's no easy thing to do - excellent review!
headed over to check out some more of your videos now - tips/tricks for backing tracks & comparing some in-ear monitoring buds both seem so timely, as we're making the move to using both of those for a show at the end of October.
cheers!
Awesome! Glad you found the content helpful 🤘
Thanks Scott. I tried the Kimafun system. They worked well for me. I would love to try the Lekato for solo work. I also found the CCA in ears worked well for me too. Thanks for the reviews. Very helpful. Rory
Awesome! Glad both of them have been working well for you
Thanks so much for your honest review, this is making affordable set up to get rid of those nasty cables :)
I’m obsessed with minimal cable use haha
Awesome vid Scott as always. just an FYI on the Behringer mixers built in wifi. Its been notorious for how bad its wifi router is. the best practice is to buy and external router and plug the Behringer into that instead.
Oh yeah, I almost always do! Just for my solo set once I have it set I never really have to touch it. I have a mini portable router I usually use. I just got lazy for that one, even though it takes like 30 seconds to setup lol. But yes I agree, definitely use an external router with those!
2.4 is what every Walmart rc toy uses 😂
I love this content. Very honest review and no filters. More reviews about cheap products that people usually consider.
Thanks! Glad you like it. And I have more cheap gear reviews coming up
I had a cheaper Debra wireless system that was mono, the ER-102 or something, and I found that the audio coming through was a little harsh and that the mono signal kinda messed with my brain. Obviously I'm used to stereo fields out of regular headphones. Before I purchase another system, I kinda wanted to get someone's advice about the difference in sound from a stereo to mono type system. Will the stereo system have a wider sound field? Or is it just to L/R 2 signals? ie: I want to just jam with music, I want it to sound like I'm listening to it on my earbuds from spotify, and then incorporate my guitar over it...will it be a left/right scenario? Will it just sound like the mono, and I'm wasting my time looking for a stereo wireless, or should I just get a proper stereo wireless instead of muckin about with these mono signals? Cuz Debra has the ST-102 that is supposed to be stereo, vs that ER-102.
I'm not playing any clubs, I'll be just jamming around the house and streaming online.
Cheers everyone!
This one can be set to mono or stereo if you use the right cable with it 👍
69.99?!?!? They go for like $25 on aliexpress, sometimes cheaper
Yup! Pretty wild!
Hi. We're looking for a wireless in-ear monitor syst for my wife. She is a violinist and play on small and medium venues, most of the time crowed of people. She is using a wireless VHF mic and other times a wireless pickup (both bluetooth). Amplified by a Bose S1 Pro+.
Do you think this will work fine for her? Thank you so much
No, I would go for a higher end system: th-cam.com/video/Xi2JcMomjQ0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CCKNfVZnaVjmSuhD
The input in the transmitter is a Stereo Aux In and the Phone Out in the receiver is Stereo as well.
You just have to run it with a splitter in the case of stereo IEM setup.
I use it with my existing gear with wireless guitar system and it's like having a Waza Air for about $50. 😁Without the gyroscope.
So i got this one, and returned it, because they have no bass and barely any mids. I ordered NUX B-7PSM 5.8 GHz. Will see if the sound is better. When i plug-in headphones directly to same output i get nice full sound
That can happen with cheap stuff: th-cam.com/video/kUNBHi5F3aQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wySDAVbbbEIk1fBT
Hello Scott, there are some supposedly 5.8G IEM system tinier than the mwave ones selling for 20usd on aliexpress, sadly I can’t paste links here for you to check so if you can check them, please give them a try and a review
Oh nice. For $20, that’s worth the risk 👍
15 USD on Aliexpress 🙂
Pros: Amazing sound quality, better than most cheap (albeit much more expensive) analog transmitters; stupidly portable and lightweight; everything runs on batteries.
Cons: Does cut out quite a bit in concerts, since everybody is using wifi; SUPER fragile. I've had 2, one of them failed, and 3 friends of mine had theirs fail in less than a year after purchase. I'm still using mine and love it, paid about $30,00 on Aliexpress, but I'm aware someday it just won't turn on anymore, as did all others (all of them had issues on the ON button).
Yeah at this price point and the fact that you cannot change channels, it’s very likely that those two problems will happen at some point
And BTW... They are actually stereo, you just need an adapter. I use my monitoring output on the XR18, and also have a 2 xlr / 3.5mm stereo adapter and it works like a charm
Yup that is correct, that was my bad. I just assumed one input meant mono 👍
Those are called "M-vave wp-10" in South East Asia. Apart from the name, it's the same
It' costs 14.29 in USD LMAO
Wow! That’s insanely cheap haha
No locking 3.5mm jacks. If LEKATO had exposed 3mm of threads on the jack, you could used a screw on locking connector.
Having a locking connector would be nice. But I highly doubt you’ll get that on a $69 IEM system for sure!
What about the Debra Er-Mini wich is UHF. Similar price but different technology? I'm learning so much with your videos. Thanks!
You are the second one to mention the Debra ones. Definitely curious on how that one works 👍 just remember, these are the cheapest iems out there
Hi Scott, I've deleted and reworded my previous question as it also didn't make sense to me when i came back to it!
I just want to have a wireless system for guitar practice, so, using this wireless IEM system in this video, theoretically i should be able to ...?
SCENARIO 1....
Use a wireless transmitter system, like the ones you posted in the video...
th-cam.com/video/A2183MfZWgQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0HWCFIvlk2m1bZbq
(i'll call these GROUP 1 and refer to them again further down the post)
between a guitar, sending to a receiver plugged into a guitar multi Fx pedal,
and then using a 2nd wireless system, like the wireless IEM system you are now reviewing , to transmit from the headphones out on the multi FX, to the receiver which i can then plug into any type of headphones that have a 3.5mm input socket, so becoming (almost! ) truly wireless?
( or, like in your original answer, instead of headphones, go to wired in ears type buds, but that's not going to be as good a sound quality via in ears?)
SCENARIO 2...
I could, instead of using the wireless IEM system between multi FX + headphones, just use a 2nd wireless system from GROUP 1 above, to go out of the headphone jack of the multi FX pedal, sending to a 2nd guitar receiver that i can just plug straight into some headphones that have a 3.5mm input. (probably needing a 6.3mm to 3.5mm convertor )?
I see that you have also just recently posted a review of some truly wireless headphones ( not meaning Bluetooth, although you say they do also have BT capability for music streaming)...
This review, of the AiAiAi TMA2 ...
th-cam.com/video/V_sHXtqVR-U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AgKctXN0t5LXqMGr
Well, this is good timing, and is exactly what I was looking for, but a bit pricey!
Having read some of the comments on that video, my question is answered, with respect to my Scenario 2, as someone is using the same idea as a cheaper way to achieve wireless headphones (for "real time"/ low latency, private listening, whilst playing an instrument)
But of the Scenario 1 and 2, assuming they will both work, which do you think would be the better set up?
I suppose battery life of the GROUP 1 wireless sytems will be better than just 5 hrs on this wireless IEM system you reviewed here.
The receiver dongle plugged direct to headphones might be a bit annoying to wear? .... could depend on where and what position the wireless receiver sits in after plugging in.
I was really surprised, having just recently took an interest in guitar playing again, that these kind of wireless headphones, for guitar / bass, aren't common on the market anyway, so had started looking at other ways to try to go truly wireless, such as my 2 scenarios above.
Previously, years ago, i have used a cheap UHF tv type of listening headphones from MultiFx pedal , and was considering buying some better quality ones, Sennheiser do some, but perhaps the tones will be optimised more for cinema type of film watching + listening with boomy bass ?
So i'll probably try a wireless set up with something like the Audio Technica ATHM50XBT headphones, and other well reviewed examples.
I guess, now that you've reviewed the AiAiAi TMA2, there'll be more coming onto the market, and you hopefully will be doing a best of true wireless headphones review sometime within the next year :)
Thanks :)
Would you recommend for someone who is speaking at a church. I want one to use for when I’m speaking. Church isn’t large. Seats about 225 in the sanctuary
These are IEMs…. These are meant for listening/receiving audio…. Not transmitting. You want a wireless mic instead 👍
This one was so cheap and didn't even have a brand name.
I copy and paste in
.{Wireless Guitar Transmitter Receiver,
Digital Wireless Guitar System with Two Micro USB

Haha that’s always a good sign! Thanks for sharing. It looks like a wireless guitar system, not IEMs.
Hey! what if i ll use this staff with the same guitar system 2,4 Wi Fi (Lekato) Will it confuse conflict with it?
2 wireless at once usually isn’t a problem, but it all depends on the wireless environment
Thanks for the video. Quick question my vocals in the in ear monitors sound quality is great for the music but not good for the vocals. Would you have any ideas? I’ve tried messing with levels but with no luck. Thanks for the video again
That could be so many things. Probably sending too hot of a signal into it. I would start there. These are also quite cheap so they can “overload” easily I think as well.
Hi, can I use multiple transmitters and receivers together? don't they conflict?
You can, but do not use a bunch of cheap wireless all at once. I don’t recommend running more than 2 of these at once. th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.html
that was only 30$ here in the philippines. amazon priced way too much.
Nice!
Hi. I have a question. Can it still work properly if I use 2 wireless system. Like that wireless in ear monitor system and the other wireless transmitter/receiver from my guitar to the gadget? Like they have the same frequency (2.4 gHz). Can the signal mixed up?
You can use 2 wireless at once in most situations. It ALWAYS depends on the environment of the venue, so there is no yes or no answer to that. But in general? Yes, you can use 2 system at once on 2.4ghz. Will it work every time at every venue? No
Hi, Do you know if it would work fine if I have 6 pairs in the same stage, one on each aux channel on the Xair18 ?
No, that’s too many cheap wireless: th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=umzToBJYEMZM9Yr8
Great video. I'm considering this for my project (2 members). Question 1: Has anyone tried 2 transmitters + 2 receivers at the same time?
Question 2: I use Ableton live to process the vocals. What about the latency in this situation? It's possible to compensate?
Regards from Spain.
2 systems at once should be fine. Just remember, these are the cheapest IEMs I could find, and manage your expectations. Your computer might give you latency if the buffer size is too high. Other than that is should be fine 👍
Hi Scott, I was looking for cheap IEMs and I found your video. I'd like to ask if lekato good to use if you're a drummer? is the latency affect on playing with other band member if I'm the only one using wireless IEM.
No, there won’t be latency with these (unless you are getting multiple sources of latency or something like that with it compounding). These are a good system, but also THE cheapest one I’ve ever found, so just manage your expectations
Awesome review man; I subbed a while back when we first started setting up our IEM system for our worship band but now we are planning on starting up a smaller band made up of children that are ready to hit the stage. Your channel helps us out a lot on both ends. You inspired our more professional set-up and gear for the main band and now for the little ones we might incorporate a Lekato IEM's system bc as you said its cheap and I believe it'll make the kids feel more professional and in the event that one of the receivers is damaged, it won't be a big deal as it isn't as expensive as our more professional gear. It also won't make that big of a dent in our wallets! Again, thank you so much for your work man keep it up & God bless!
Nice! Glad to help! I wouldn’t use a bunch of 2.4ghz gear all at once, but I think 1-2 of these would definitely be a good choice 👍
@@ScottUhlMusic I’ll keep that in mind thank you for the heads up!
So can I just check. I could run this from my bass amp headphone out to my headphones to be wireless? I could then use a guitar 5.8 ghz wireless system for.cable free practice?
You can run these out of your bass amp and then use your 5.8ghz wireless for your bass, yes 👍 Again, just keep in mind you have no way to change the channel on these. If you get interference, you cannot do anything about it 👍
I got this system and have been trying to use it for a few months. I get a lot of interference very frequently which makes them pretty much useless. I’ve tried making sure no cell phones or other similar devices, but that made no difference.
If you bring any wireless that does NOT have a way to change channels like this one… if that channel is taken, there is nothing you can do. The more channel options the better. With any wireless
What would you recommend for a Wireless IEM setup just to use with a Desktop PC (for daily use, gaming, videos, music, etc.)? I have IEMs and a good DAC already I just hate being tethered to my desk. Like if I have to turn around and grab something and forget I'm connected the headphone jack rips out of the DAC or worse breaks (which I've had happen before) I just want my DAC transmitted wirelessly to my IEMs so I can wear them over ear and the chord going behind me instead of over the ear but in front and in the way. I understand that quality will never be as good as direct input but just looking for the best way with least amount of quality loss in the process. Can anyone recommend anything that would help with this?
For something like that, these can be good! 2.4ghz might get interference from a Wi-Fi router, so keep it away from those. Try them out, return them if they don’t work 👍
So I live in a small apartment with thin walls and I'm nocturnal. I would use regular headphones with my amp but I cant stand the cord. It really makes it hard to find good practice time. I'm also going guitar cord free. Is this a suitable option for just being a cordless headphones? Or is there a better option out there?
I bought a cheap Bluetooth transmitter/receiver but it had like .25 seconds of latency so I expect I'll use it for a different purpose like sending a signal to my phone to record probably.
You cannot use Bluetooth for live audio. But this should definitely help out 👍
Hoerev in ear monitor I found this on Amazon I’m looking the best and cheap it’s for my church and we are in a tight budget please reply God bless.
Do not use too much cheap wireless all at once. Unfortunately, going “we are on a tight budget, but we need 6+ wireless all at once” isn’t really how wireless works. Watch my video here: th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.html
For eg. music instrument playing, with relatively low or tolerable delay (latency) - maybe need something like YH-WL500. Not relatively cheap though.
Have you done a video on 5.8ghz in ear monitor systems? Are they better than the 2.4ghz systems?
Just got a pair and gigged with them this weekend! Video should be out in about 2 weeks 🤘
These costs $25 here in the Philippines. I have connected 6 receivers with 1 transmitter.
Nice!
I use it for djing. I used it at a convention and it kept cutting out. Crackling, major latency. It doesnt work well when there are too many wifi.
Without a way to change the channel, that’s the risk you take with this
Could one just plug a microphone directly into this unit?
I don’t believe so
Can I pair 2 receivers with 1 transmitter? My vocalists needs one too while I play.
I don’t believe so
Gigged with these three times. Let me down three times. Intermittently losing signal when fully charged and the transmitter and receiver are only a couple of meters away. They work fine in the house.
Sorry to hear that. As you can see with the comments, it doesn’t happen to everyone. It all depends on the environment. You are performing in a heavy RF environment and have no way to change the channel on these. That’s part of the risk that I mentioned in the video
I play guitar and drums at church. I hate playing guitar and feeling tethered to an ME-1 personal mixer (go check those out). I'm gonna be on guitar for all of March and I hope this Lekato thing works at church. Wish me luck.
Great video. With regards to stereo I use the xr18 and run aux 1 and 2 into my current wired set up so I can pan guitars left and right. Is this possible with this in ear system? Thanks
I believe so if you use a breakout cable (two mono to 1 stereo). But I haven’t tried that
Do you know if it's possible to pair the transmitter up with a regular pair of bluetooth head/earphones?
No, you cannot do that 👍
Can one use them to watch movies at home? I’m thinking to make my headphones and my tv wireless…
Sure, that could work 👍
@scott uhl 5 sets of equipment can be supported to work at the same time, do they mean by that is 5 receivers and 1 transmitter or 4 receivers and 1 transmitter?
You can use 5 transmitters/5 receivers all at once but I do not recommend that. Please watch this video here: th-cam.com/video/Xgw96rY4TAc/w-d-xo.html as well as this one: th-cam.com/video/RCrFKKr8WUA/w-d-xo.html
Scott, can the transmitter be used while the USB charger is connected?
I believe you can, yes 👍
Hi there, great video - How is the volume? Loud enough for live band?
Thanks. I never had a problem with volume 👍
Hey. I tried this system out and you're wrong about one thing. This is a true stereo system, you just have to solder up some cables to run it that way.
Interesting… good to know!
Been looking at these types of iem for my band, would it be possible to send a true stereo signal by using a 3.5 trs to 2 mono xlr adaptor instead of the single one you shown in this ?
I haven’t tried that with this system. My personal opinion is if you are truly looking for true stereo iems, I would spend the money and get something at minimum like this (which is stereo): th-cam.com/video/dJL_zI2drRQ/w-d-xo.html
Or save up money for Shure/sennheiser/audio technica stuff
My compliments this was an excellent review and you convinced me to purchase both the headset and wireless system.
Can I use this with a DJ controller to a battery powered speaker?
If I understand your question, sounds like you want wireless xlr to go to a speaker. I do that with this system: WIRELESS XLR System w/ PHANTOM POWER! Kimafun XLR Wireless Review/Demo

I found and bought one on temu they were 25 bucks and they are good
Yup, I’m working on a video about Temu and this product actually 👍
I missed this but, I was on Amazon and saw this. Of course, I like reviews and here I am.
How about the transmitter put into the soundcard does it work
If you have the correct cable 👍
I just order the exact same ones for $49
That’s a killer deal!
Good day sir. Can it pair multiple receivers?
Yes it can send the same mix to multiple receivers
