Neewer CM28 vs DJI Mic 2: Best Wireless Mic Showdown!

[@damenanda-da]

Thanks for the review! I ended up getting the DJI Mic, and I think grabbing the first gen is the best bang for the buck right now.

[@SmartDepot]

DJI Mic 2 is a great option

[@madeinaustralia2020]

great review. thanks. I bought a Neewer set yesterday. all reviews seem good. but this is the best sound challenge review

[@SmartDepot]

Thank you! Neewer CM28 just serves me good

[@cosmonaut1961]

Great review! I have CM28. Use it for wedding videography (as a backup) and street interviews. Absolutely satisfied with sound quality! Thank you for making the video.

[@SmartDepot]

Wow! Good hear you use CM28 for professional jobs. How do you deal with noise reduction? Neewer noise reduction or post noise reduction?

[@cosmonaut1961]

@@SmartDepot I use noise reduction in post (editing in DaVinci Resolve - it does a great job)👍 I was debating of getting DJI Mic 2, but after watching a lot of videos - couldn't justify the price they charge. (Even though I have DJI drone & action camera and I think they're the best).

Very good review and very well explained! Thanks 🙏

[@SmartDepot]

You are welcome.

[@stejames83]

Just bought the cm28 and love it 👍

[@SmartDepot]

I've just found myself using it more and more than my DJI Mic 2. Great option

[@stejames83]

@SmartDepot I've been holding off buying the dji mics for a while. Don't get me wrong, I have a dji drone, and the quality is brilliant, but the neewer cm28 are brilliant quality and price wise. It was an easy decision in the end 😁

[@SmartDepot]

Nothing beats it value for money among all wireless mics

[@pauldittus]

Great review! Did you update the firmware on the DJI Mic 2? I've heard that the latest update improves the audio quality. My thoughts on the indoor test without noise reduction... The Neewer CM28 has a much more open sound with brighter highs and more room sound. The DJI Mic 2 sounds more rounded/polished and like it has some processing even with noise reduction off. It's hard to tell because of the audio level difference too. Very thorough review though. I appreciate all the details covered. I currently have the Neewer CM28 and so far I am impressed for the bang for buck that you get with it. Debating whether the DJI Mic 2 is worth the price to upgrade. One thing that is hard to rationalize is the fact that both have non-replaceable batteries so paying a decent amount more is hard to justify if they end up dying down the road.

[@SmartDepot]

It take a special person to appreciate the work put in here. Thank you so much. If you already have Neewer CM28, there's absolutely no need getting DJI mic 2 unless you already have some other DJI product like Pocket 3 or go pro. I have both and I see myself use Neewer CM28 more and more...

[@pauldittus]

@@SmartDepot Absolutely my friend! Super helpful. Appreciate your insight. Thanks again!

[@WillNewcomb]

I have a Fulaim X5 (=CM28). It's very dependent on mic location. Best 6 inches in front of my mouth (but that's naff)!

[@belovedakua]

Great video thank you!

[@SmartDepot]

Thank you

[@SilverStarGG]

Hey, I am interested in the Newer product but I see your description attaches aliexpress links, is it reliable to be the genuine product?

[@sugarcastlecakesncrafts8411]

How many bits is the neewer cm28?

[@SmartDepot]

24 bit Audio. If you are not into full professional production, the difference won't matter though

[@Sui778]

Actually, the CM28 is advertised as 16 bits - but that's still CD-quality. Shouldn't be a deal breaker to anyone though seeing as most people don't understand the differences between bit resolutions anyway.

[@abdalazizalbassam]

DJI have Bluetooth does the cm28 have it

[@SmartDepot]

No, Neewer CM28 doesn't have Bluetooth but it makes up for it with USB-C audio and analog 3.5mm Auxiliary output and both sounds better than DJI connected with Bluetooth

[@abdalazizalbassam]

@@SmartDepot thank you 👍

[@kreditplanet24]

Thanks a lot. I got it.

[@SmartDepot]

You are welcome!

[@nawetindeyshele]

I am surprised how how the Neewer is doing against the DJI

[@SmartDepot]

It's impressive... 😍

[@thegospelindex]

😍😍

[@caitxu5011]

You really do get what you pay for, right? DJI's stuff is just built better and sounds way better than the Neewer CM28. That's gotta be why everyone's all over DJI mics.

[@SmartDepot]

Sure! The build and design of DJI is better but the sound quality? I don't think so. Time will tell if the Neewer CM28 is going to be so durable

[@Mope333]

Sound-wise? Hmm that’s questionable

[@thedigitwealth]

Costlier not always the better... Weldone to Neewer

[@SmartDepot]

No matter who you are, you can agree they are on par and the less than 1/3 the price of DJI, it's no brainier

[@pststar]

Ubelivable Value for money that Neewr CM28

[@SmartDepot]

Yeah! It is
