In 2025, content creators will have no shortage of wireless microphones. DJI Microphone Mini And Rode Wireless Micro two great examples. So how do you stand out in an increasingly saturated market? As it turned out, being practically invisible.
The new Hollyland Lark M2S has a feature set to rival DJI Mic Mini, but with the design DJI would like: Not only is the Lark M2S the smallest wireless microphone we’ve ever seen attached to clothing, but it also doesn’t have a logo.
A discreet, logo-free mic that weighs just 7g and won’t tug on clothing is a win in our book—too many wireless mics are too visible in the content that floods social media. Just look at the wireless microphones we use. TechRadar TikTok channel appreciate where we come from.
However, just because the Lark M2S is tiny doesn’t mean Hollyland skimped on features. You get smartphone-quality 24-bit audio, one-touch noise canceling (ENC), 70dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and 116dB maximum sound pressure level (SPL).
Battery life is rated at 9 hours of recording per mic, which can be extended to 30 hours with the charging case, and a maximum transmission range of up to 300m.
These are solid specs for a wireless microphone system that can be purchased as a kit that includes two transmitters (microphones), two receivers (a basic one for USB-C smartphones, another for 3.5mm cameras), and a charging case. At just $139/£130, it’s slightly less than the Mic Mini. Oh, and a Lightning cable for older iPhones is included just in case—see everything included with the Max in the image above.
