Surprising!
Being part of an alt/pop duo with backing tracks, we didn't have the money to purchase a $700 in ear monitoring system so we decided to purchase this much cheaper alternative. With a much shorter range and lower specs overall, I can honestly admit I was not expecting quality. After playing two shows with this system, I can now admit how wrong I was. If anything, Xvive sells this wireless system short. The range was much farther than advertised, the sound quality is crystal clear, the battery life surpassed four hours on a full charge. The Xvive Audio U4 Wireless is a hidden gem among the ocean of wireless monitoring systems. One thing I found very useful is that with USB charging, all components can be easily charged on the go. The device also is equipped with a volume dial and channel selection.
An alright microphone
The Fifine K6 microphone being only roughly $20 USD, is a good cheap buy for a live event with precise EQ in mind. The K6 was my first live vocal mic which I definitely used the hell out of. The microphone itself is equipped with an on/off sliding switch. The switch can sometimes get damaged or stuck, causing crackling through the line. The mic alone outputs a warm vocal with not a lot of focus on the high frequencies. The mic also seems to have a boosted low mid section which can be easily fixed through a small bit of EQ. Another issue with the mic is that it peaks... Easily. If you are one to sing with loud, the mic itself will clip very quickly causing a very buzzy saturation(very unpleasant to the ears). As long as the limits and specs of the mic are made aware of, the high points of the K6 can be easily utilized through minor sound engineering and EQ.
Great microphone for the price!
I gave the Neewer NW-700 four stars. This microphone was the first microphone I had ever purchased when I was starting out creating music. Being the proud user of several more high-end mics today, I thought I would dig the microphone out of my storage and see how the $15 mic stood against more standard mics such as the the Shure SM58 and SM7B. The NW-700 is a small-diaphragm condenser mic with a focus on the high end. The 700 captures a range which with good mixing can sound like that of a higher end microphone. The purchase comes with a stand and pop filter which do not appear cheap. The pop filter is perfect for any other microphone and the stand is adjustable and very handy for a bedroom studio. The one star off is mainly because, a $15 condenser mic can only offer so much. While you can expect crisp highs, the mic demands a thorough mix for any warmer or low-end vocals. In conclusion, this mic is still one I would be happy to use on the fly or for high backing vocals.

Crucial to the industry
With a microphone as popular as the Shure SM58, there are definitely some eyebrows to be raised at first glance. My first thought when seeing this microphone was, "How could such an affordable and standard mic deliver such sought after quality?" Surely enough(no pun intended) The mic didn't let me down. I'm now the proud owner of two of these bad boys. I use the microphones for everything from performing live to recording instruments in my studio. I definitely recommend the SM58 for both the beginners and the pros. Great Mic!
Great recording microphone
For a year, this microphone has done wonders for me in the studio. Capturing a wide range of frequencies is very useful for recording both vocals and instruments.
