- Who will win? Will paying $200 for a wireless microphone and lavalier REALLY get you more than paying $80 or $120?
UPDATE August 18, 2022: Rode tech support did eventually get back to me, and said this:
"Thanks for sharing that video!
I can definitely hear what you are talking about.
It's hard to determine why this happened, as there are a number of variables at play.
It could have been an old glitch that has since been corrected with updates, or even something to do with the camera and particular settings on that one occasion.
I know that earlier updates fixed issues regarding clicking and popping noises, so this could be a part of that as well."

your video looks so professional and then you got 700 subs. real underrated channel. great work bro keep up
Thanks, Arshad! It’s a struggle but things are moving in the right direction. 👍
Hi Matt! I found this video because I'm in the market for a wireless mic and am doing some research. I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed this video very much! Helpful information, easy to understand, and I like your style of presentation. Your sense of humour kept me watching and had me giggling several times. The comment about how you look in the light determining which fork in the road you take, had me laughing out loud and prompted this feedback. Keep up the good work! (Karen from Australia)
I'm glad someone appreciates my humor! I'm glad you found this useful and/or entertaining. I'd settle for either, but both is a win. :)
Just the comparison I was looking for. Thanks!
You're welcome, and thanks for watching!
Thanks Matthew for your review, I just found your channel and i´m loving the content!
New subscriber here!
Thanks very much, Alvaro!
very good review sir ! love it
Glad you liked it!
Thank you for this video it helps a lot ❤️❤️ lots of love
Glad it was helpful!
was looking for some post purchase justification in getting the boya, and came away satisfied here :)
Heh. I know what you mean. I think you’ll have a good experience with it.
Interesting review, thank you. The Rode does not come with a lav, it must have been the shop bundling one.
Thanks for your comment! I bought it on Amazon from the Rode store, so it's a configuration they offer there. I see that B&H offers an option that includes a Rode-branded lav (not Polsen), but they might be adding that in-store. I guess whether it's a shop adding it or Rode, I'd advise to skip the option unless you know you're getting a good lav with it.
I think the boya wins this. You did an excellent job with this video. Gave us almost a little too much samples. Look at your retention and cut a bit more if you aren't holding viewers. Just telling you cause that tweek will get you growing a lot faster. My fav cheap one of these is the kimafun. I'm a tester for Amazon so always testing way too much. Also have way to many channels :)
Thanks for the tip! I'll see if there's something I feel can be cut. It's one of my better-performing videos so I hesitate to mess with it too drastically.
@Matthew Haines oh no just for future. You doing a great job. Audio is great your voice and tone and presentation is excellent just moving forward if you give us what we need we will want more but if you over feed us we get too full and leave. Just a thought to help you out 😉
@Matthew Haines also another thought. I used to use bright backgrounds a lot all the different neons. But then realized that the neon catches attention while drawing you away from your subject. Darker or plain backgrounds where you make the subject stand out will do better. Can check out @snakecakeexotics and see how I shifted over time.
I agree the extra lavalier mic for the Røde was the worst of all units.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice review, one note, the Rode mic doesn't come with a lav mic, it looks like this was a bundle the seller that you bought from has made.
Thanks for your comment! Someone else pointed that out as well. It was likely an aftermarket bundle. Fortunately, the actual Rode mics are good quality.
A very well made video 😉👍
What microphone did you use in the studio?
Thanks! I used the corded lavalier mics below for the unboxing and the conclusion. Otherwise, I used the three mics I was comparing.
PowerDeWise corded lavalier mic:
amzn.to/3PWjpQp
Movo corded lavalier mic:
amzn.to/3PEOg3N
@@MatthewHaines Thanks ;)
I bought a boya wm 6 S ….really like the Quality of this one , had many Sony D11 and Sennheisers before who are 3 x the price of the boya wm 6 S and certainly they are not better ……pretty happy with the wm 6S even works perfect with shotgun mic’s
I haven't tried the UHF technology from Boya. Glad it's working out for you! I've only tried an older Saramonic UHF system and was unimpressed. But it was old tech, so...
Thanks for your comment!
Is the Boya WM 6 S the kit with the male USB-C connector (presumably for direct connection to your phone or tablet). I’m looking at Amazon right now (it’s primeday 😊) and if that’s the kit you used, I see there is also a kit with a lightning connection.
@@MarcosElMalo2 I know you were directing the question at the other viewer, but I just wanted to point out that the Boya system tested in this video is NOT the WM system (which I haven't tried). The system in the video is the XM system.
Moral of the Story:
Stay Away From Power Lines on Your Hikes Testing.
Oh! Watch out for ’em Lizards! Lol
Would be great if noise cancellation quality testing could be done of general environment or in Crowd, Traffic Noise, in house chatter and vessels clatter, etc how they Perform?
Bravo! Really Appreciate the Extra Time and Effort and Sincere Dedication Dear Brother taking 2 hikes for quite a detailed and complete Review. God Bless!
In Future, could you please show the Controls buttons I/O ports on the transmitters receivers in a section of the video? And which ones have internal/onboard dual audio recording (one with environment noise and one with NC version)?
Would Love to See and Hear Your Take on the Comica Boom XD D2 vs Saramonic Blink 900 Pro B2 DJI Pocket 2 Mics compared to the Rode Wireless Go II with All the Pros and Cons of Course and What accessories are actually received in the box and if they come with the Phone adapters as well some come with Backup Charger Box Some just with Charger Wires, Some Come with Lavalier Mics and Wind Muffs, I guess some don't! The Real World Battery Backup Time though I've found no honest reviews, so thanks for the interesting and informational review once again! Nicely Done!
Regards,
Michael.
Thanks for your in-depth comment! You're right, I didn't spend a lot of time showing the units up close. I'll keep that in mind next time. I appreciate the suggestion on other mics to compare as well! I always appreciate viewer feedback. :)
@@MatthewHaines Oh Thank You So Much for Understanding and No Problem I'm Sure You'll Do a Fabulous Job Being thorough With Your Reviews and Please Don't think That the Video was not appreciated enough! We ALL Learn Something from Everyone Down Our Hikes on Life's Various Paths as long as you find it useful and progressive I'm More Than Happy to Help a Fellow Brother! Take Care and God Bless! I hope YT shows the video notifications once God willing they don't make you spend on the devices and send you proper working demo products closest to what is received on the market and inform you as well if certain ones come with or without certain accessories say based on single unit vs multi or the normal vs Pro or I or II etc. Because if They Don't Inform nor have the common courtesy or decency to reply or communicate to a Buying Reviewer then how will the reviewer Know What‘s in the Box? They Don't Expect the Reviewer to Go Brad Pitt on them Everytime they Fail to Have Proper instructions or Index of Items included?!
Or Let's Just All Yell Together, “What's in the F'ng Box?!”
Probably Then They'll Respond?
Well, You Did Your Best Brother, it is THEIR Duty to Respond, or not, and face the consequences of Neglect! You Just Don't Let that Make you Feel Any Regret You Can Always Return Their Products to Show Them How you Reciprocate their Feelings! God wIll provide the Way and the Right Products as well in Due Time! Hang in There!😇👍🏼🙏🏼
Boya win
I bought the DJI Mic, as the obvious choice for me.
Any reason for leaving it out in your fairly recent review? Thanks.
PS It looks like you use Auto White balance.
Only that I didn't have access to it at the time. Perhaps in a future review.
If you mean outside, then yes, sometimes. Especially if I'm going in and out of shade. In the studio, I'm locked down for daylight WB.
@@MixiMera You're aggressive, aren't you?
I need good mic for my room which has lots echo of my voice. Will boya be good enough?
Hi! Almost all lavalier/wireless mics are omni mics, so they tend to pick up more room sound than a cardioid mic. If you have an echoey room, you should have your mic as close as possible to your mouth. I don’t know how you’re using your mic (on-camera, gaming, podcast etc) but perhaps a traditional or usb mic might be better.
The boya will work about the same as the other wireless mics when it comes to picking up room sound.
@@MatthewHaines thx alot for your reply. Saved me money thanks. Can u suggest any good mic for iPhone 14 pro max for avoiding this echoing pls?
Perhaps you would be better with a mini shotgun mic. It all depends on how you're using it though. Here's a video I did recently and you can hear how they work in a very echoey room. The closer the mic is to your mouth, the better. Although changing rooms might be the best solution of all.

@@MOTHIATMANit’s not a mic problem, it’s a room acoustics problem. Sound waves are bouncing off the walls, floor, and/or ceiling. You can solve it permanently, semi-permanently, or temporarily quite easily. Temporarily, use heavy blankets or quilts on the walls to deaden the echo. You might have to install a couple of hooks or nails into your walls so you can clip them in place. Start with just one wall/blanket and see if that helps. If you don’t have any blankets, look for “moving blankets” or “moving pads” at your local big box hardware store, at Harbor Freight, or online. These are not expensive.
Along the same lines, a blanket or carpet on the floor can absorb echo from the ceiling. If you have a stand, you can drape blankets anywhere in the room, not just on the walls.
You can also purchase acoustic tiles made of foam rubber that stick to your wall with adhesive. I have no experience using these. You might not need to cover the entire wall.
Were you at Iron Mountain?
This was a hiking trail near Ventura, CA.
@@MatthewHaines oh cool. There's a mountain trail out in San Diego County heading toward Ramona that it reminded me of. I hiked Iron mountain a lot. There's 3 mountains in close proximity there that I would hike in a day every free weekend I had for awhile.
@@AwesomeHotSauceandKristosCast sounds great!
Sorry for your camera
Thanks! Sony replaced it because it was still under warranty. The new one has worked great since then.
Mics are hot Bro, final output of this video sounds slightly distorted. Hard to focus on content.
Thanks for your feedback! I checked the final video on several devices before publishing. Sounds ok on my end.
@@MatthewHaines Content is so good Bro, the peaking could be some one frequency that rides the border of my HD280 pro. 😅
I bought boya its very sensitive
Sensitive in a good way?
+1 sub
Thanks!
I can see that Matthew is an attractive looking man
Uh…thanks? 😀
Maono wins I think
Thanks for your comment! I struggled with the Maono's sound because it seemed a little distorted. It had a 'crunchy' quality, especially at the beginning of words. Like it had a limiter built in.
Boya wins
Thanks for your input!
Rode crushed other brand
Feature-wise, I agree. You might change your mind after you see a new, upcoming review though. Watch this space…
i bought boya after i saw ur video. was a good choice tbh
Good to hear! it's a good system, and a good choice if you don't need internal recording.
