In this guide, I’ve focused specifically on wireless mics that transmit our sound a receiver that’s plugged into a camera or smartphone. These types of mics are often used for interviews, as they can be clipped to the subject to ensure clean recording. As such, they are designed to be small and discreet, and offer a dependable, stable connection with no drop-out.
All the mics on this list are ones I’ve tested for my own video projects, and there are options for different budgets. These mics are designed to work with cameras and phones – if you are recording with an iPhone, I also have dedicated guide to the best microphones for iPhones.
