- Hollyland announces new Lark M2S wireless mic to compete with DJI and Rode
- The M2S is available in dual mic/receiver kits for around $139/£130
- It features a discreet logo-free design and weighs just 7g
There is no shortage of wireless mics for content creators in 2025, with the DJI Mic Mini and Rode Wireless Micro being two good examples. So how do you stand out in an increasingly saturated market? By being practically invisible, it turns out.
The new Hollyland Lark M2S has a feature set to rival the DJI Mic Mini, but with the design DJI aims to have: the Lark M2S isn’t just the smallest wireless mic we’ve ever seen when it’s attached to a garment, but it is also its logo. -free.
A discreet, logo-free microphone that weighs only 7g and doesn’t pull on clothing is a victory in our eyes: too many wireless microphones are too visible in the content that floods social networks. Just look at the wireless mics we use on TechRadar’s TikTok channel to understand where we’re coming from.
Just because the Lark M2S is small doesn’t mean Hollyland skimped on features. You get 24-bit smartphone-quality audio, one-touch environmental noise cancellation (ENC), 70dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and maximum sound pressure (SPL) of 116 dB.
Battery life is rated at 9 hours of recording for each mic, which can be extended to 30 hours with the charging case, while the maximum transmission range is up to 300m.
These are solid specs for a wireless mic system that can be purchased as a kit that includes two transmitters (mics), two receivers (one basic for USB-C smartphones, the other for cameras with a 3.5mm port), plus a charging case, for just $139/£130 – that’s a fraction less than the Mic Mini. Oh, and a Lightning cable for older iPhones is included for good measure – see everything included in the Max combo in the image above.
The best of DJI and Rode in one package?
So how does the Hollyland Lark M2S compare to rivals DJI and Rode? From a specification point of view, favorably; it apparently offers the best of the DJI Mic Mini and Rode Wireless Micro models in one package.
You get a small receiver to 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 only offers the latter which works with both cameras and phones but is clunky when docked to a smartphone.
We can’t comment on the actual audio quality of the Lark M2S yet, but our in-depth review is underway, so pay attention. What we can say right off the bat is that the design and overall design of the Lark M2S is stellar. You can pre-order now using the links above.
