When it comes to wireless microphone systems, we tend to value flexible features, reliability and sound quality in the pro-audio world. If there is ever a way to eliminate a wireless link and run a cable, we will usually take that opportunity and avoid the loss of quality and reliability that wireless audio always involves. We often spend thousands of dollars to ensure wireless microphones work properly during events, but we know it’s still a bit of a gamble.
For the average person creating content for the internet, though, none of that matters. What often matters is convenience, simplicity, traveling light, easy recharging, and eliminating wind noise so you can hear voices better outdoors. The overall sound quality bar is low, with even expensive prosumer video gear. You’re competing against the built-in microphone on a camera or smartphone or a consumer shotgun mic mounted to your camera at all times. These options only work in ideal conditions, where the person speaking is within arms reach of the camera.
These consumer lav kits provide a straightforward way to get a mic on the person speaking, with no wires for them to break and an emphasis on wind protection for the mic. You set them up once for your camera or recorder, and they are ready to go just by powering them on when needed. There are no batteries to change, just USB-C ports for charging quickly between uses. The microphone transmitters are also magnetic, making them fun to stick as a plant mic in odd places.
