DJI’s Mic Mini may have met its match: the small, logo-less Hollyland Lark M2S wireless microphone
- Hollyland announces new Lark M2S wireless microphone that rivals DJI and Rode
- The M2S is available in dual microphone/receiver sets for approximately $139 / £130
- It has a discreet logo-free design and weighs only 7 grams
There’s no shortage of wireless microphones for content creators in 2025, with the DJI Mic Mini and the Rode Wireless Micro being two great examples. So how is it possible to stand out in an increasingly saturated market? By being practically invisible, as it turns out.
The new Hollyland Lark M2S has features that rival the DJI Mic Mini, but with the design that DJI would like: not only is the Lark M2S the smallest wireless microphone we’ve seen yet when clipped onto clothing, but it is also logo-free.
A discreet and logo-free microphone that weighs just 7 grams and doesn’t pull on clothes is a win in our book: too many wireless microphones are all too visible in content flooding social media. You just have to look at the wireless microphones we use Ny Breaking’s TikTok channel to appreciate where we come from.
However, just because the Lark M2S is small doesn’t mean Hollyland has skimped on features. You get the best 24-bit audio for smartphones, a single-push Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC) feature, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 70 dB, plus a maximum sound pressure level (SPL) of 116 dB.
Battery life is rated at up to 9 hours of recording time for each microphone, which can be extended to 30 hours with the charging case, while the maximum transmission range is up to 300 meters.
Those are solid specs for a wireless microphone system that can be purchased as a kit consisting of two transmitters (microphones), two receivers (one basic receiver for USB-C smartphones, the other for cameras with a 3.5mm port), plus charging case, for just $139 / £130 – that’s a fraction less than the Mic Mini. Oh, and there’s a Lightning cable for older iPhones thrown in for good measure – see everything included in the Max combo in the image above.
The best of both DJI and Rode in one package?
So how does the Hollyland Lark M2S compare to rivals from DJI and Rode? As for the specifications, favorable; it seemingly offers the best of both the DJI Mic Mini and Rode Wireless Micro models in one package.
You get a small receiver for use with smartphones And a larger one with manual controls for use with cameras. Rode’s package only offers the former and only works with smartphones, while DJI’s package only offers the latter, which works with both cameras and phones but is inconvenient when connected to a smartphone.
We can’t comment on the actual audio quality of the Lark M2S yet, but our in-depth review is coming, so keep that in mind. What we can say right away is that the Lark M2S design and overall package look fantastic. You can pre-order now using the links above.
