What a fantastic video you've made. I found this so incredibly helpful as someone confused about which mic system to get into. I'm most definitely getting the DJI based off of your video, thanks again!

[@aaronmelson2887]

I had the go II but sold it and bought the DJI Mic and love it. Works perfectly when I need to take audio off the transmitter and plug it directly to my ipad.

[@JilariousJamesGaming]

Thanks for the video! Audio sounds great 👍

[@ibnbattuta34]

Great video comparing the differences. Thank you!

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

Thank you, this is a great review of these options. I especially appreciate the honesty in placing the AnkerWork mic third.

[@BigManAlaska]

Ive always been interested in Rode as an option. But I'm starting to sway towards the DJI because its a cleaner and more versatile design for my needs. I vlog inside stores and need to cut out refrigeration and background clutter noises. Not completely but because I do appreciate some environmental sounds at times.

[@tebs2]

Really well made video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙏🏼

[@MiaHessMusic]

Thank you Susie, just the video I was looking for.

[@mechasentai]

Awesome review! Thanks. Literally exactly what I needed to know. 🎉

[@mightypensword]

Such a good video. Thanks

[@worldoftony469]

Thanks! Almost got the Anker work with your last review but decided to go with DJI. I do not regret getting the DJI at all!

[@NineSevenPictures]

Thanks for your help...!!!

[@winecountryfilms1]

Thank you for a great comparison of those systems.

[@Metal_seer]

Thanks fot a great review. I'm still leaning toward the m650 for conteny creation.

[@biaedoug]

Thanks for the comparison, this is exactly what we were looking for! We are going with DJI because the quality looks great, it's has the small charging case and look very discreet.

[@SachinSawe]

Your reviews are fantastic !!

[@DonMoody]

Thanks for the video, prefect time I am looking for a new mic that can be use with a phone or camera. Which of these would you suggest as 1 or 2 choice?

[@thelifeofastha]

Thank you for this great video! You helped a lot! I'm getting the RØDE Wireless ME Microphone :)

[@tricallyourmama]

YASS! A video that has all 4 comparisons

[@dadfixdit]

That was a really good video! There is a very noticeable difference with the AnkerWork. Thanks for steering me in the right direction!

[@DirtRoadJourney]

Thank you for making this video! Now torn between DJI and the Rode. Main film out doors for hour at a time.

[@angie_myhre]

Awesome video super helpful

[@alemattosbr]

Nice comparison! Thanks for sharing!

[@ToddlerKitten]

Thank you very much! ♥

[@biggooseadventures]

I literally was looking for this video and I knew you would have it, funny you just posted it. Thanks for sharing. I have an Insta X3, and it says the only supported mics are rode our DJI. My hollyland Mike's do not sync correctly with my words and lips, so I have to find a solution, but I found that other people complain that the Insta X.3 does not sync usually words and lips. Thank you for the video

[@randahlfink]

Suzi could you please tell us to what extend the audio we are hearing is manipulated with audio effects like EQ, deessing, etc. - or is it the completely raw audio we are hearing?

[@awesometimeswithjoshua7559]

Finally! Someone who put it factual and blunt! Think imma subscribe now :)

[@ttwalktours]

Hello, which wireless microphone do you recommend? for ambience sounds on walking tour videos.

[@dougiedee1]

Great comparison . amazing break down. im gonna stick with DJI ..its has the best over all package. keep up the good work👍

[@lifewalklens8447]

Have you tried hollyland lark M1 ? How good is it thanks

[@CarefreeChris]

Thank you for your content. Big fan

[@TheCrosx731]

So for filling with 2 subjects having a conversation what is best? Mono or Stereo? For example my friend and I hike through the woods and are both using a wireless mic to a receiver. Is stereo the way to go or mono?

[@ILSLF]

Can you try out the Ulanzi UW wireless mics and compare it to these ones?

[@MaskedMarble]

7:48 - You say you would not use it for vlogs or cinematic videos. Why?

[@Maximilan20]

Any chance you can get your hands on the Neewer CM22 mic too? That would be super awesome.

[@mannytroll9572]

I own all these 3 and I was so shocked that the rode me sounds amazing indoors

[@andyz_w3584]

awesome !

[@onenonestudio]

Thank you for that amazing review 👏 Just buy Rode Wireless Me after watching your video. Hope I will record better audio in my videos with that ✌️

[@wilkbor]

First of all: thanks for your time and effort in putting this together. I am looking for a wireless system that has transmitters that also record audio. If the transmission breaks down, I could pull audio from the transmitter itself after the fact. That would be a good backup plan. Do you know if these transmitters can do that?

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

Yes, the audio can be downloaded from the transmitters, at least for the Rode and DJI systems. Both have USB ports. I think it's easier with the DJI, it becomes a USB device on the computer and files can be copied. With the Rode, the app has to be used to 'export' the audio files, one at a time.

[@biggooseadventures]

Did you see the new Saramonic Blink Me B2 | 2-Person Smart Wireless Mic System. I would love to hear your thoughts on this mic system

[@Lifevlogska]

Have you used the fulaim x5 how it is for outdoor vlogging Please rply

[@IanAntopina]

You are my new favourite channel 💕

[@MontanaSleeper]

Thank you Suzie, spend a lot of time on your channel. Montana Sleeper

[@AdLunam]

Thanks for the comparison, great ! But the Anker Noise-Reduction in Mode High is terrible and in my mind not usable. I use the DJI and I´m very happy with it ! Great review, thanks !

[@mediamannaman]

Yes, that high noise reduction mode ruined the sound quality.

[@kendavis1740]

Could you clip the receiver to yourself with a longer trs cable instead of mounting on the camera and have the transmitter on a second person giving you the ability to turn your go pro in any direction without the camera operator losing sound quality and needing to purchase a second transmitter?

[@nathanielkamer9770]

could you pair any of these mics to a speaker?

[@mohdfahmi4310]

asking: 1. can be use with android? i face difficulty using boya with android. 2. it will disable speaker? it troublesome that i need to remove the receiver before i can replay my recording.

[@locoocho2415]

Which one is compatible for a gopro? Thanks 👍 So a single dji would be better for a single rider. Correct...

[@rcc9677]

I've seen a lot of KZbin videos and when the Mics are compared, people actually think the Ankerwork has the best audio. The issue with it is the receiver has to be on for the internal recording to work.

[@Methxdz]

DJI always sounds better in these reviews I guess I’ll give that one a shot!!

[@aprilkay2538]

Can RODE still be changed with OBS?

[@NR-rv8rz]

I was just about to order the Wireless ME transmitter and receiver as I assumed the transmitter had onboard recording. Your review just saved me and I'm now ordering the Wireless Go 2. Thanks.

[@poppie327530]

I purchased the DJI system...I feed the signal into a Rodecaster Pro II....the quality is nothing like yours...sounds like I'm talking into a can. I recorded in a quiet room and even recorded straight to a laptop....what am I doing wrong?

[@flikimiki]

I love DJI Mics 😍

[@stareye8]

Has anyone ever experienced picking up radio signals with their mics? I'm having that problem. I would love some advice on a mic that doesn't pick up these frequencies. Thank you all in advance!

[@roninkhan9669]

I love the dji mic. It was worth the extra cost

[@RalphBarbagallo]

I wish they’d add auto gain to the Go II. Then it would be the obvious choice.

[@haletatv]

Dji

[@WillNewcomb]

Best of 2023? You need to include ALL the contenders, especially Saramonic Blinkme B2, Ankerwork M650, Fulaim X5, Boya Boyalink.

[@WillNewcomb]

Most crucial aspect: do they have deadcats that actually work???

[@ipddrentheborger6295]

its 159,- at Mediamarkt.

[@madrapperdave]

why do we rarely see the Saramonic not included in these comparisons? Am I missing something?

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

I blinked and missed that Saramonic has a wireless mic system.

[@madrapperdave]

@@UnconventionalReasoning this very channel has reviewed it.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

@@madrapperdave Clearly, I blinked.

[@balkanvaping]

RØDE WIRELESS GO 2 with RØDE FLEXCLIP GO SET and with RØDE LAVALIER GO MICROPHONE... 😉 😉 😉

[@user-mt8to7zj6o]

I like dji

[@remikus]

with new rode wireless pro there is nothing to compare to now ;)

[@pulatjonsultanov2729]

I think DJI sounded well, yeah 5 hours kinda less but it is all about the quality not the quantity

[@arthurascalon3867]

New kid in the block - Hollyland Lark Max Lavalier Microphone Wireless.

[@Gemini_Connect]

On my list to test eventually!

[@user-nb7pc1nu5f]

I’m not interested in supporting the knockoffs. So I’ll stick with Rode , the original and best.

[@quadcoptervision]

Stay well clear of the Rodes - I love Rode mics (I have 7 or 8 of them) but the go ii is absolute garbage - charging issues and cable issues.... Mine are now bricked and going in the bin... You have been warned.... DJI wireless mics are currently on order to replace the frustratind Rode wireless mics .......

[@Gemini_Connect]

Sorry to hear of your experience with Rode. I have the original Go and the Wireless Go II and have never had an issue with either one. Been using them for years!

[@quadcoptervision]

Rode have reached ou via their support and helped me find a process to get them going again. We shouldnt have to go through this - but fair play to rode tech support as they have got things going again. 10/10@@Gemini_Connect

[@SilverVagabonds]

Rode Wireless Go II is my vote. We have been using it for 2 years. Last winter on of the TX stopped working, Rode sent a new TX and RX to replace it free of charge. That is great customer service and shows they stand behind their product.

[@elsuizocasual]

I have been using DJI Mic now for some months and I have to say that I was very excited about the small size and that it is so convenient. However I am not so convinced about the sound quality. Not that it doesn't capture audio well, but I very often feel that the sound is very "muffled", too much bass and then I have to fix this by applying a treble boost in post, but this in turn cause that when I combine clips there is always a audible click between them and I have to fix this in final cut pro by adding a fade between the clips. The strange thing is that this muffled sound doesn't always happen, it is happening on some clips and not on others despite recording with the same setup and often in a very similar environment. Has anyone experience this problem? I am evaluating if I should get th eRode wirless go II but not sure if I would be wasting more money for only a slight improvement. Any thoughts or fixes?

[@andrewwang9126]

Hollyland Lark Max works good at sound quality.

[@maxvorobey1316]

I have the Ankerwork m650's and so far they have been perfect! I have used the DJI and the Rode before and in my opinion the ankerwork (after some EQ tweaks in their app and with the noise cancelation off) sounds as good if not better than the competition. Plus i love the rounded form factor ,i just blacked out the plate that says "ankerwork" and it blends seamlessly with anything my subjects wear. But thats all just my opinion, great video!

[@sometimesWF]

what did you use to hide the brand name? gaffer tape?

[@maxvorobey1316]

@@sometimesWF I actually used electrical tape and carefully cut along the edges with an exacto knife 😅 Its worked great so far, hopefully it stays that way

[@p.burley4533]

While I did not know about AnkerWorks, this review is super-helpful. I have watched other reviews, and the Røde's way of charging via cables without a case, a shiny, indiscreet look, and a smaller range has me leaning toward DJI. Yet, if it has better sound quality, I have to wonder if that alone outranks DJI. Tough choice!

[@shred3005]

I’ve been looking at comparisons to choose for my travel needs and think I’m going with the RÖDE Me. It’s the cheapest but the main reason is I’ve got two other wired RÖDE microphones I’ve been using for years and I know from experience the audio and build quality of RÖDE products

[@allboutbalance]

Great video comparing the differences. Thank you!
