Hollyland Lark M2S Mini Combo (Camera RX+Type-C RX) Wireless Microphone for Camera/iPhone/Android/Laptop, 7g Lightweight, Titanium Clip, 300m Range, Content Creators, Online-Teaching, Streaming

These mics are great! I compared them with the much more expensive DJI Mic 2, and to be fair, the sound quality is not far off at all.They’re not heavy at all, and I LOVE how small and easy to hide they are!The noise reduction is really impressive and keeps audio sounding and rich.While it doesn’t record internally, the on camera receiver and USB-C receivers are quite easy to use and work flawlessly.

I am a professional video creator, and I often use traditional lavaliere-style clip-on microphones on projects. For quite a while, I have been examining various wireless microphone packs, such as those made by DJI, Rode, Godox, and many others, because the convenience they could offer for projects was highly enticing. However, I have never pulled the trigger on one because in all the videos I have watched that use them, they all seemed to have the same shortcomings. The sound was thin and hollow, the mics were obnoxiously big, and the branding was far too overt for my taste. So when I came across these, I thought they would be worth a try, as at the very minimum, their design addressed my two visual and aesthetic concerns. For the relatively low price, I figured that even if the sound wasn't great, it would still be a worthwhile purchase because the sound would likely be usable for most purposes and could always be enhanced in post-production to bring it closer to what I typically look for. And so, I pulled the trigger. And I was impressed almost immediately.To give them a test that aligned with one of my most common use cases, I used them while conducting an interview. Since this was a paid project, I wasn't going to trust them immediately, so I went ahead and also recorded the interview using a boom microphone—a Sennheiser MKH416. This took place in a relatively large indoor space, specifically an indoor pickleball facility. I put M2S mics on the interviewee and myself. Using the receiver in stereo mode, I was able to run each mic to its own channel on my MixPre-3 recorder using a TRS to dual XLR cable. This ultimately gave me three channels to listen to in post: my $1000 shotgun mic and two channels of M2S audio. I was shocked, pleased, and more than a bit surprised to find that in this particular use case, the best audio of the mix came from the M2S.My interviewee was new to being on video. He was fidgety and moved around quite a bit, resulting in significant off-axis pickup from the shotgun mic. And while the space was very open, the metal walls and concrete floors resulted in a bit of echo and some slight comb filtering from the boom mic. But the sound from the M2S was constant and clear and even with the noise cancelation turned off, their was almost no echo or reverb picked up by the mics. And, to my further chagrin, the sound wasn't at all hollow or thin. It was full-bodied, with a nice low end and a clear top end. With just a slight enhancement, the audio was more than usable — it was pretty good. And while I could have probably used the audio from the boom mic on this project if I had to, it was a huge time saver to work with the audio tracks from the M2S instead.Do I expect these inexpensive microphones to outshine a pro-level boom mic on every project and in every scenario...absolutely not. However, their quality, combined with their ease of use and discreet size, impressed me enough that I have already purchased a second set, allowing me to have a set ready to go in each of my video production kits. They will not be my go to for every shoot, but they have proved their worth to me, and I can see them being a very useful tool on many projects to come.

This mic has a great sound, easy to use, it's pairs automaticaly and seems durable. The best feature it has is the clip on ability with no need to use a lavalier mic because the mic and the transmitter is in one piece, used it for my interview and works great.

Fantastic product. amazing price. These mics sound way better than you'd expect for the price. Even Better audio quality than the rode wireless pro mics. Imo these are the perfect budget starter lav mic system for anyone starting out with video. Super small and compact, easy to mic on a subject without the hassle of wires or bulk.Only thing missing is internal recording. If it had that it would be literally perfect.

Can’t say I’ve ever written a review but this deserved one. I work in content and media in professional sports and it’s incredibly important for me to have versatile, efficient and cost-friendly gear I can travel with. I was searching through video reviews, they mentioned these in comparison to the DJI mini mics and the price point was intriguing with similar reviews (and seemingly easier operation). I went for it.Pros: incredibly easy to set up and customize being it’s plug-and-play, great signal to noise ratio, can use far away from camera, design is inconspicuous and easy to use, price is unbeatableCons: sound is still a little “tinny” as I call it, but it’s FAR better and more professional than an iPhone mic.For clarity: We used these for a project going to a client with millions of followers if that helps you understand the benchmark. These things are the real deal and I’m stoked I went with them over DJI at the price point.

Fantastic quality. I have tried several different brands of compact portable clip on microphones and this is by far my favorite. The extreme compact size, easy plug n play compatibility and overall quality of the sound and voice reduction blows many others away. The battery life is never a concern as it seems to last so long I don’t even think about it. It is extremely versatile for no matter what you use is, podcasting, on the go video, educational or training videos. Simply amazing.

First, let me say that I love these wireless microphones. They work flawlessly and are easy to use. But the product's instructions leave something to be desired. You need to know, for instance, that each microphone transmitter and receiver comes with a small, inconspicuous strip of light-blue colored plastic covering its recharging contacts. I wasn't looking for these, so I failed to notice them. But you have to peel them off, or your device won't recharge itself. I did finally discover them; but it would have been nice if the instructions had warned me about them ahead of time. Next, although the instructions don't say so, you never have to turn on or off any of the individual components. They are set in the "on" mode by default. They are supposed to stay in this mode as they sit in the included recharger case. After I first used these microphones I kept trying to turn them off, but I finally learned that this was not necessary. Although it is possible to turn off each component, it is much easier simply to keep everything turned on. Then all you have to do is pull the microphone out of the case, put it on, and plug the receiver into your computer. The microphone and receiver link with each other automatically. No muss, no fuss. I tend to overthink things, but these microphones are simplicity itself. Oh, I almost forgot: their sound quality and range are excellent, too.
