BEST BUDGET Wireless Microphone?! Boya By V20 Review

[@stefanterbraakk]

! Important note ! In this video I mention a dozen times that it is a wireless BLUETOOTH microphone. This microphone in fact does not use Bluetooth. It's a wireless signal between receiver and the microphones, no bluetooth is involved! Thanks to @rok9587 for pointing this out!

[@code.design]

Can you record each mic on a separate layer?

[@JuliaWestcottHutton]

thx update

[@Zimmerframerate]

Now this man knows how to make an informative video. Just enough and no more. You are a credit to the Internet Sir. Thanks for sharing your hard work. I am awaiting delivery of one today as I write this. Kindest regards from the UK. 🖖

[@stefanterbraakk]

Thank you very much! Trying to keep them as short as possible. I'm sure youll love the microphones once you have them :)

[@NinPossible]

Whoa, they sound great! Thank you so much for the review!

[@dwayneslifecoachingexperience]

Mister Cat earned your video a like. Seriously though, it was a great overview and comparison. Thanks.

[@stefanterbraakk]

Thank you! I appreciate that! :)

[@moohooman]

Thank you this was super informative. I am going to buy one for my VR setup since I keep breaking cabled mics. Its good to see an option under $100 and after using a Boya Cabled mic, I know its gonna sound good.

[@stefanterbraakk]

You're welcome. Being careful of cables can indeed be a challenge. I think these mics sound really great! :)

[@mustafaabuzaid1167]

Really helped to take a decision, Thanks bro from Egypt

[@whatsnottohike]

Just bought one. Out of the budget wireless mics, Boya are the best. Thanks

[@stefanterbraakk]

Couldnt agree more! You're welcome!

Thank you ! I was looking for a budget microphone and you just confirm that BOYA is the the one i need.

[@edwardgrand]

Nice video. I have these and they are awesome. Especially for the price and the ease of use. They work flawlessly on my Sam. phone and my laptop with the USB-C. I think they are technically RF though, not Bluetooth. I was reading some specs and it seem RF is actually better than Bluetooth. Polling rate and some other gibberish. I noticed they even work good around corners and in other rooms of my house (not the same room as receiver). I think that is another advantage of RF and the 2.4 GHz operation. Sorry to be picky/annoying. :)

[@stefanterbraakk]

Thank you. I also think they are really easy to use and setup. The connection is fast and stable. I don't know how the connection works. All that's important to me is that it works as intended. Thank you for your comment and thoughts you shared! :)

[@Johangd]

I'm wondering if you can charge the microphones while using them. Also if the transmitter allows normal charging power to the phone. But nice video

[@BrothersStyle1]

Спасибо bro, отличный обзор, буду брать ❤

[@stefanterbraakk]

You're welcome brotha :)

[@nsontung]

great review, I have a couple of questions 1. Does it work with cameras that have the USB-C port like your Sony ZV-E10? 2. Does the receiver have a battery? thanks

[@stefanterbraakk]

Thank you very much! 1: I wish it did, but unfortunately no 2: also no, it uses power from your phone. Hope this helps! :)

[@anassamara4457]

nice review :)

[@stefanterbraakk]

Thank you! :)

[@Theroyalenfieldman]

How is the depth recording capability of these mics under a helmet?

[@dennsoloist]

Mine has the problem - no playback while Receiver connected @ USB on my Android device. So I have to unplug it after recording each time((

[@stefanterbraakk]

Unfortunately that's how it is. But for the audio quality and the price it is worth it :)

[@Fahoq]

Can I use this mic on my Windows PC? my PC has a USB-C

[@kichitamil]

Is this mic good for outdoor use in traffic situations with horn sounds, vehicle noise, birds, and construction noise? My home is very close to a main road, and it's noisy 24/7. I can't record a video without hearing vehicle horns; they're beeping constantly. I have tried the Asus noise-canceling adapter, but it's not working well with my Android device-it picks up all the road noise too. Could anyone suggest if this mic would solve these problems?

[@guideyourtrip]

Hello thank you for the tuto, I have an iphone 12. Should I choose a usb c or lightning model?

[@stefanterbraakk]

Hello! You're welcome! For iPhone you need to choose the lightning variant.

[@guideyourtrip]

Ok thanks so the by v2 version ?

[@stefanterbraakk]

@@guideyourtrip v2 means that you get 2 microphones, v1 is 1 microphone. If the product you selected shows the lightning cable port you're good to go :)

[@SanjayUmaRishika]

Can I use it for Samsung's S21fe without any third party camera app..?

[@stefanterbraakk]

@@SanjayUmaRishika as long as the smartphone has an usb c port you should be able to use the microphones

[@deersakamoto2167]

Boya V20 mic - how seamless is using this with your laptop (for Audacity recordings, Zoom calls, etc)?

[@Explorerofthesea]

thank you for the great review ! can this one be used in Fujifilm cameras ? they also have USB C port, also action cameras like dji action ? thanks

[@TayfunReyhan]

Nice video 👍👍

[@chingupt]

Does the Transmitter work when plugged in to a power source?

[@Edithq777]

love the video bro🙂

[@stefanterbraakk]

Thank you! I appreciate that! :)

[@k.chrisopoulos]

Hey, is it working with samsung galaxy s23?

[@stefanterbraakk]

If it has an USB C port it should work

[@RokyBalboa7]

@@stefanterbraakk so did it work?

[@WarrenSiervo]

Just new to this mic. Any idea how to connect it to a canon camera with the type C receiver of the BOYA BY-V2 microphone?

[@stefanterbraakk]

@@WarrenSiervo no you can't, I've looked all over the internet for ways on how to 'hack' these microphones to a camera, but you simply can't. You have to record the audio with these mics seperatly with your smartphone and sync them in post.

[@erenyeeger-mg5vb]

Im get this microphone today

[@stefanterbraakk]

Have fun with it! It's a really good microphone for the price!

[@Omaryousfi-of6iy]

Hello brother, I bought one like the BOYA microphone that you reviewed on your channel. But when we connect the charging port to the receiver that is installed on the phone, no light appears indicating the charging process Is it supposed to give off a light or not? Please answer. As for the microphone, it charges normally and the red light turns on

[@stefanterbraakk]

I don't fully understand your question. You mean you can't charge your phone while having the receiver plugged in your phone to use the microphones? If you connect a charger to the receiver when plugged in the phone your phone should just charge :)

[@mrsbunnyb]

Is this just plug in and its good to use? I just purchased mine and the microphone doesn't seem to be picking up my voice and still using the camera microphone... what am I doing wrong?

[@stefanterbraakk]

Hi, if you connect the receiver to your smartphone a light should start blinking. If you turn on the microphone and it's connected with the receiver, both the receiver and the microphone should show a constant blue light. That way you know they are connected to your smartphone. If that doesn't work it could also mean your phone is too old. This microphone setup works on my Galaxy S10+ but not on my Galaxy S8.

[@VoxPopulasse]

Can I use this mic on my Smartphone for phone call? I need to talk to my callers when I am far from the Smartphone.

[@stefanterbraakk]

I don't think that will work. They could work as a microphone but how will you hear the caller if you are far away from your smartphone?

[@mycitynomad]

Thanks I got them

[@stefanterbraakk]

@@mycitynomad you're welcome! I think you're gonna like them :)

[@RodolfoOsorioR]

Is the second microphone a replacement in case one breaks or you use the 2 of them at the same time?

[@precambrian_rabbit]

no, my guess is it's for interviewing someone but when I purchased this set on Amazon the price difference between 1 mic and 2 mics was so minimal it didn't make sense to buy 1 mic option.

[@stefanterbraakk]

You can see it as replacement but you can also use the 2 microphones at the same time in for example an interview setting. :)

[@rachmadwahyudin3878]

Its compatible for samsung s21 fe?

[@stefanterbraakk]

An USB C charging port is all you need to connect the microphone

[@argp12a51]

Does it record stereo or does it merge the two into one track?

[@sidestan]

Im curious about this as well? Any luck getting the information?

[@stefanterbraakk]

If you use the 2 mics at the same time they won't have an audio track of their own. Both the microphones will indeed be merged into each other. So if you record multiple people talking through both the microphones at the same time you can't seperate the audio tracks from one another. Hope this helps! :)

[@sidestan]

@@stefanterbraakk appreciate the response!

[@chercajepe5846]

Does it work with laptops with usb c?

[@jimbos3576]

yes

[@DerrenTube]

What lens did you use on this video?

[@stefanterbraakk]

@@DerrenTube If I remember correctly I shot this on the kit lens :)

[@dr.alimohammadi2165]

How to use with camera?

[@stefanterbraakk]

You can't directly plug it into your camera to record your audio. You have to record audio seperatly with your phone and sync it in your video editor in post.

[@dr.alimohammadi2165]

@@stefanterbraakk thanks a lot

[@przemysaw8370]

Do it work with PC?

[@stefanterbraakk]

@@przemysaw8370 yes you can plug it in your pc via usb c or usb adapter and it should work fine :)

[@Musicconfigworld]

good

[@michamargalit]

so far the quality is very poor. I wish it was like un your video . I have new phone pixel 7 pro . I wish I could do something to improve it . thank you

[@stefanterbraakk]

The quality you hear in this video is the quality it is right when it came out of the box. Maybe you could try to charge them fully or try both with noise reduction and without. Hope this helps.

[@precambrian_rabbit]

same here, I tried it with iphone15 and the sound is very flat and basic + a lot of hissing (

[@AetherScout]

100hz high pass and a bump between 1-5k and it'll be even better

[@doyourownresearch7297]

noise reduction is awful.

[@stefanterbraakk]

Agreed. I also tend to avoid using it.

[@Kyb3rS]

Don't forget that this is a budget microphone

[@netschoolacademy]

One two free one two free

Why are you saying it's Bluetooth? It's not! What kind of reviewer are you that you can't even get the core facts right!?

[@stefanterbraakk]

Damn, you are right! Can't believe this never struck me. I'll update the info in this video. Thank you for letting me know! :)

Does it works with the insta 360 one RS like the ulanzi j12?
