RØDE Wireless ME Ultra-compact Wireless Microphone System with Built-in Microphones, GainAssist Technology and 100m Range for Filmmaking, Interviews and Content Creation

The mics are great quality with good battery life . The app works well too and I love how portable these are. They feel pretty durable and robust, though I wouldn’t want to chance dropping them. I’ve not had any connectivity issues at all so far and I’ve been using them for a while. I record videos of me out in the field going field recordings so wind protection was something I was concerned about. However, I’ve found these to be very forgiving in wind with the little dead cats supplied with them. Obviously, you have to have the limits if it’s extremely windy and try to find a location less windy to film whilst you are talking if possible on stronger wind days. I tend to set my levels at the medium mark and have had no issues with clipping - this is probably assisted by keeping my voice at a relatively consistent volume and also the gain assist function doing its magic. Sudden shouting or loud noises would definitely result in clipping. If I was a videographer working in unpredictable environments where levels can peak suddenly (say at a wedding for example) I would probably plump for the newer 32-bit float rode offering for peace of mind as you can recover loud signals in post with no distorted audio. As it happens though, these are perfect for my requirements & the gain assist does an impressive job. Sound quality is good. It’s also impressive at capturing the voice in quite noisy environments without picking up too much of the surrounding ambience. You can improve the quality further by using a Lav mic plugged into the transmitter - I have done this on occasion. I tend to do this when it is a little too windy for the inbuilt mics to cope because I have wind bubbles I can use with the lav mics that are more robust. The only gripe I have is that clipping the receiver on to your phone never seems particularly secure. Also, if you have the phone on a gimbal and the receiver attached to the phone the weight can be a bit much for the gimbal. I’d have loved the cable to be longer so that you could have one end plugged into your phone and the other end to the receiver which you could then clip on your belt or something. Also, the transmitter can be a bit weighty if clipped to a shirt etc. I’d recommend an external lav unless it’s attached to a pretty robust surface otherwise it tends to “flop” your clothes and point away from you all the time. The clips seem really robust. I particularly enjoy clipping the TX to my belt and feeding a lav mic up under my Tshirt to clip on my shirt / coat etc. I can clip it onto my belt without worrying it will drop off. I like that it comes with everything you need right out of the box to plug it directly into various devices - DSLR’s, Action Cams, Android and IOS devices are all covered. This is a great move from Rode as it allows flexibility to use them across a wide range of devices. Overall I’m incredibly pleased with these - they suit me down to the ground and make life that little bit easier than having to record audio from a lav to a recorder and then having to sync that up in post. I already do this with my field recordings, so having my voice embedded into the video in crystal clear quality and in sync perfectly every time saves me a lot of extra editing time.

These mics are sooo good! Definitely spend a little more than those terrible cheap ones you can buy. The sound quality is so good!

Easy to set up and use, switch them on and they pair up instantly. Plug the Rx into your phone or mixer board and it just works. Have successfully tested with both YouTube live streaming from a phone, and also sound input into an amp for public address, and sound quality is good for both. Can be used for Teams calls if you have good sound through your speakers but your laptop mic isn't good, just attach the Rode Tx mic to your collar and plug the Rx into USB or earphone jack. Sound quality is very good if Teams noise cancellation is on to prevent mic feedback. You can even turn a wired headset into wireless (if it has a 3.5mm jack) - just plug the Tx into your PC's audio out jack and your headset into the Rx. I could listen to the guys jabbering on a Teams call and go make coffee downstairs without losing the wireless signal. (Of course your headset mic won't work since these are only one way transmission.) The stereo quality is amazing when used as a pair! Switch on the receiver mic (using the Rode app) and set the recording to split channel (one mic for left channel and one mic for right) and leave the mics each end of the dinner table, and record the conversation. Play it back using decent earphones and it sounds like you are in the room! Battery life is better than most mics this size. Definitely recommended for semi-professional YouTube streaming, pod-casts, recording and general messing around. :-)

Really loved the idea of having those for filming, as they could be used in various scenarios. However, my transmitter was not pairing, and nothing helped to fix it. Amazon customer service issued return in minutes. Not sure whether to try to get another set or opt for something else (as this also comes with everything and there's no need to buy 'dead cats' or wires), a bit scary if it would not work or not be usable for a long time.

No problems, but the battery may drain when switched off.

I run webinars and my lecturers have a lot of bad habits like walking away from the lectern or leaning over to talk to the projector screen. We also have a wide range of voices from mumbly whisper to projecting for row Z while in a 4 person meeting room. These take care of both those problems fabulously. I’ve yet to find a type of shirt they won’t happily clip to and the autogain takes care of the volume variations. I now recommend them for all my remote lecturers if they’re having mic problems. Only problems are 1) making sure they’re actually on. Takes a bit to work out the process but basically you have to long press on both TX and RX so that both have two lights on. Took me hours to work that out 2) forgetting they’re on. Furthest I’ve had to go hunting for one so far is Liverpool Street but I’m hoping to make it up north at some point

I'm really happy with these. I use them all the time and they connect flawlessly to my phone and have made my audio sound really great. They made a massive difference to the quality of my videos. The connect easily and look smart. I liked that they come with little subtle looking stickers that you can put over the logo so they don't look so obrtusive. They work really well with my set up and they're really light as you would expect. The windmuffs work really well and at times I've thought I was out in the wind and the sound would be bad, and yet when I reviewed the footage the sound was great.

These work well for interviews, good sound quality. Easy to fit to interviewee or presenter, and easy at the camera too. No lengths of cable or belt packs etc. Very straight forward to use and adjust gain & volume. Small, light weight, & compact, tbey're a perfect, cheaper solution for capturing clear, good quality speech. The low price make buying these an easy choice.
