Insta360 ONE X2: First Challenge is to Get Good Audio

I got my new Insta360 ONE X2 360° camera and before I make any public videos with it I wanted to test the various ways to record audio using it. Though I knew that for my intended purposes just using the built-in mics (there are four!) wouldn’t give me the best audio but I wanted to have it as a comparison. Next I did a recording using my Apple AirPods, then used a lav mic plugged directly into the camera using the mic adapter - this is an accessory not included with the camera. Finally, I tried my preferred method: using a wireless lav mic setup. The one I have that works is really meant - and built - for use with a smartphone but it worked and, beside the directly plugged in lav mic, gave me, in my opinion, the best audio quality.

Indeed that was helpful. All were acceptable IMO and the audio with your final setup sounded quite clean.

Yes, I'm sticking to the Comica wireless set. I liked that audio best as well. Did, however, try my Purple Panda with extension in today's video and it was pretty good as well.

Good examples, I like your way of testing. I prefer the AirPods but that’s expensive. Can I use any Bluetooth headphones just like AirPods?
