BOYA 4-Channel Wireless Lavalier Microphone System, by-W4 2.4G Wireless Lapel 4 Transmitters & One Receiver for DSLR Camera Camcorder Smartphones Interview Vlog YouTube Video

It's no secret that BOYA makes great audio products with a specialised focus on microphones. In the past year, they've become my 'go to' mic brand. In terms of the price to quality factor they might be the best in the business. Case in point--I recently got a new camera that came with a 'content creator' kit. One of the accessories in that kit was a shotgun mic from one of the biggest names in the business. It immediately went into my 'backup' gearbox and was replaced by a similar BOYA unit. The BOYA mic not only performed better, it even looked better--higher quality, better made, etc.Their wireless mics are no different. They're well made, versatile and work great. Even better, they'll work with just about anything thanks to the included TRS and TRRS cables. Generally speaking, most wireless mic sets at this price point are pretty good. Instead of a 'charging case' you get USB cables for charging. There's something to be said about this approach--they also include a BOYA pouch that everything fits inside including the 1x3.5 mm TRS to TRS camera output cable and 1x3.5 mm TRS to TRRS cable for phone connectivity and two windproof fur covers. The charging cases definitely look better sitting at home keeping the mics charged, but the BOYA method with the short USB cables and pouch definitely takes up less space in a backpack or laptop bag.One place this BOYA system really excelled was recording in noisy environments. It did a great job picking up my voice at various levels of ambient noise. I've yet to test it in windy conditions but it sounded great both indoors and out. You can make a case that most wireless microphone sets at this price point work well in ideal circumstances, but BOYA is clearly among the best in substandard recording situations. It's hard *not* to recommend anything made by BOYA and this wireless mic system is no exception. Highly recommended!

I love BOYA. I've tested over a dozen of their mic systems and I consider myself a huge fan, but I just can't get behind this system because it has a fatal flaw. It's a four channel mic system that doesn't come with a charging case.Now look, don't get me wrong, this is an excellent system. The transmitters are tiny but still offer a 7 hour battery life, and the recording quality is just as I'd expect from Boya. It's just that not only do you not get a charging case but you also only get 3 USB-C charging cables, so if you need to recharge these things after a long day of recording not only do you need to find 5 USB ports to accommodate them all, but you also need to hunt down an extra couple of cables.If this system came with a charging case I'd give it five stars. Everything else about it is very good, but I just can't face the idea of having to do battle with multiple cables at the end of the workday.

The media could not be loaded. I've now used with both my Nikon D7500 via it's 3.5mm jack (TRS adapter) and also with two mobile phones via USB-C adapters. These work great for voice, which is what I wanted. I have only used all four at once for testing purposes, and I can at least say they all worked fine (but not really an in-the-field test). As to actual use, I've used two at once several times and they're super easy and reliable. Sound is good, but I don't consider them "amazing". Almost too basic for my taste, and I wish they had at least some indicators telling me battery levels and the amount of gain/volume. But, I can at least tell you they seem to last a very long time (at least a couple hours - but I've never run one dry yet). Keep your little instruction paper or make screen shots of the instructions on the Amazon page for the how-to! Simple to use but easy to forget how to pair multiple microphones. 4 stars from me!

I have had a chance to test this and it's rather interesting way to get more than 2 people into the conversation. My only niggle is that you cannot separate the different mics so you can bring them into a 4 channel mixer. But you can change the audio levels for each mic and attenuate that way. They do not have onboard recording so you will need to make sure you're recording this into a mixer or a camera. But this does really help when you have more than one person to record. Especially when you are in an environment where you have more than one speaker. Also great for if you have 5 or more because you can mic up 4 with this and 2 others with your Other mics.. (and if you do it right these mics can be for the people who are not the main part of the conversation and use your other mics to record the main people. Over all you may not pull this out a lot but if you're working an event where more than 2 people are needing to talk you have a way of doing it with one kit. And before you ask you can use just one mic , 2 mics , or 3 without using all 4. It does allow for that. Now it has a Y Cable and maybe I was doing something wrong but I still got all 4 channels on the single out on this. But BOYA does make a great mic.My Wish list for this would have the following. A bigger Receiver with 2 Dual channel outs. So you can hook this up to a 4 channel mixer. And the larger Receiver with dials for each channel. Larger lapels with larger batteries and the ability to take Lapel mics.

One of my friends and business partners works in the film industry, mostly doing independent movies. But he also does a bit of reality TV work. So when he has to do interviews or mic someone up, he's always willing to try something new. He gave these a go for a new show that he's been filming. He was satisfied with the performance of them. Maybe not the best he's ever used, but for the asking price of them, he couldn't really complain.
