BOYA Mini Ultra-Mini White (USB-C and Lightning)

The Boya Mini-Ultra Mini is the smallest wireless microphone I have ever seen. Yet the sound quality is not inferior to that of larger microphones. The only disadvantage of this small design is that the receiver does not have a screen, so I cannot see in which mode it is recording.

Small design The set I am testing contains 2 microphones, a USB C receiver and a lightning receiver. Because I have an older iPhone, I use the lightning receiver. I find it useful that there is also a USB C receiver included, because all new iPhones nowadays have a USB C connection. This means that I will still use this microphone if I ever buy a new phone. The microphones weigh only 5 grams each and are the same size as a wireless earbud. This makes them almost invisible during a recording. The receiver is also small, so it does not get in the way when I use it with my phone. An advantage of this is that I can also use it with a gimbal without any problems. I charge the 2 microphones and one receiver wirelessly in the included charging case. This case is about the same size as my AirPods charging case.

Clear sound I like that I don't have to download an app or adjust the settings on my phone. I put the receiver in my phone and start recording right away. The sound from the microphone sounds much better than the sound I record with just my phone. I notice that my voice sounds clear and distinct and I hear little noise in the background. This is also due to the windshield on the microphone. I think this sound quality is definitely good enough for social media and short interviews.

Noise cancelling The microphone has 3 different noise cancelling modes. If I click the button on the receiver once, the mode changes. A green light on the receiver lights up when the noise cancelling is on. It just doesn't have a screen where I can see which noise cancelling mode it is in. I find this less convenient. The noise cancelling works well. I film outside in a place with a lot of traffic and hear much less noise in my recordings. The microphone also has 2 different voice effects, where you get a very deep voice or a very high voice. This is nice for an exaggerated effect, but sounds very fake. So I don't use this often.

Does exactly what it should. Sound quality is top.

The microphone works very easily: you plug it in and it works. No downloading, just plug it in and it works. The sound is very good. The case is compact, so you can easily take it with you. I am very happy with it.
