DJI Mic 2 Review: Smart Wireless Microphone for Video Creators

Experience crystal-clear audio with DJI Mic 2’s smart wireless microphone system designed for content creators.

A Quick Look at DJI Mic 2

If you’re like me, always chasing that perfect sound for your videos without lugging around bulky gear, DJI Mic 2 might just be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for. This sleek, portable wireless mic system delivers high-quality, crystal-clear vocals without the headache of traditional professional audio setups.

Jumping from its first-gen predecessor—a favorite among creators who shoot on the go—DJI Mic 2 is a serious leap forward. It keeps the familiar compact design but packs in smart pro features like 32-bit floating-point audio recording and AI-driven noise suppression. Fancy terms, but they translate into smoother, cleaner sound no matter the chaos around you.

Thanks to its magnetic mounts for quick mic attachment, instant transmitter-to-receiver sync, and compatibility with lavalier mics, DJI Mic 2 lets you start recording in a snap, even in tricky environments. Worried about audio clipping or background noise? This system handles that gracefully.

Personally, I recommend the full kit: two transmitters (each with windshields) and a single receiver that connects to your camera. This lets you record two people or capture stereo sound from one person, depending on your camera’s capabilities. Everything fits neatly into a tiny charging case that also syncs all devices automatically and keeps connections ready. It’s like having a mini audio studio in your pocket.

You can opt for a single transmitter and receiver set or pick components individually, but at $349 USD for the full kit, DJI Mic 2 is a steal for solo creators and small film crews without a dedicated sound engineer.

In the ring of wireless mics, DJI Mic 2 goes head-to-head with Rode Wireless Pro. With smart noise cancellation and a friendlier price tag, the DJI contender might just tip the scales.

DJI Mic 2: Pricing and Availability

• Full kit with charging case: $349 USD
• Single transmitter and receiver set: $219 USD

DJI Mic 2 is already out and about. The full package includes two transmitters (available in black or pearl white), one receiver, charging case, Lightning and USB-C connectors, two windshields, a lavalier mic, and a handy carrying case—all for $349.

Need only one transmitter and receiver without the charging case? That will set you back $219. You can also snag transmitters alone for around $99 each. A flexible deal for any budget.

Features That Make DJI Mic 2 Stand Out

Now, let’s get to the juicy part—the 32-bit floating-point recording. This isn’t just marketing fluff; it’s the real deal in modern video audio production. For those of us creating on the fly, this means the mic can handle everything from whispers to shouts without distortion or loss of quality.

Technically speaking, 32-bit floating-point offers a jaw-dropping dynamic range of up to 192 dB, with some flexibility stretching up to an astonishing 1528 dB. Translation? If your subject suddenly shouts, the sound won’t clip; if they speak softly, you can boost the volume later without noisy artifacts. It’s magic for unpredictable shoots.

To put this into perspective, the first-gen DJI Mic recorded 24-bit audio with a range up to 144.5 dB, while older 16-bit mics max out at 96.3 dB. For most controlled shoots, 24-bit is sufficient, but as any seasoned creator knows, real life rarely cooperates. Sudden loud noises or quiet whispers can throw off your audio.

Think of it like digital photography: shooting in RAW vs. JPEG. If you nail the exposure on set, JPEG works fine. If not, you lose detail forever. RAW, however, gives you wiggle room in post-production to fix all sorts of mistakes. DJI Mic 2’s 32-bit recording offers a similar safety net for sound.

What’s more, DJI’s omnidirectional mics are paired with AI-powered noise suppression. So if you want to keep some background ambiance, you can, but when the noise becomes a distraction, just tap the 1.1-inch touchscreen to activate smart noise reduction instantly. It’s like having your own sound engineer in your pocket.

Performance in the Real World

I took DJI Mic 2 on a breezy countryside walk and even tested it in a noisy conference room. Though I haven’t yet braved bustling city streets with it, the smart noise cancellation impressed me. The quality leap over built-in smartphone or camera mics was clear as day.

The mic deftly filtered out road noise and air conditioner hums, spotlighting the voice with crisp clarity. For creators doing interviews with minimal crew, that’s a huge win.

An added bonus: you can ditch the receiver altogether and connect the transmitter directly to your camera via Bluetooth. Handy for when you want fewer cables dangling from your phone or DJI Osmo Pocket 3/Osmo Action 4. True, you lose the 32-bit recording here, but sometimes less is more.

Another thoughtful feature is Safety Track, which records a backup audio track at -6 dB on the transmitter’s internal 8 GB memory—enough for thousands of hours of sound. This is a lifesaver for sudden loud sounds that might otherwise ruin a take.

Easy Setup for Everyone

Despite its pro-grade features, DJI Mic 2 is a breeze to use—even if you’re not an audio whiz. The full kit includes the charging case where two transmitters and one receiver live and charge. The devices pair automatically the moment you open the lid. Talk about plug-and-play.

Attaching transmitters is a snap with strong magnets that clip onto your clothing, or you can use the included clip if magnets aren’t your thing. If the transmitters feel bulky (though I found them just right), you can plug in a lavalier mic for even more discreet audio capture.

Use the Mic 2 transmitter as a standalone omnidirectional mic with noise reduction, recording onto its internal memory, or connect it to your camera via USB-C, Lightning, or 3.5mm jack to embed sound directly into your videos. This works with phones, popular vlogging cameras like DJI Pocket 3, and many mirrorless or DSLR cameras.

Battery life is solid, too—extended from 15 hours in the first version to 18 hours now. That means fewer interruptions during long shooting days.

If you’re serious about creating engaging video content, you know good sound can be elusive. For vloggers and small teams working fast and under pressure, DJI Mic 2 offers a powerful, smart, and simple solution.

My Testing Experience

• Put DJI Mic 2 through its paces for several weeks.
• Used it with a smartphone, DJI Osmo Pocket 3, and a mirrorless camera.
• Experimented with 32-bit recording and AI noise suppression on and off.

During my weeks with the full kit, I appreciated how quickly it pairs with different devices and the ease of use. Switching between settings was straightforward, and the difference in sound quality was noticeable.

Whether recording outdoors with wind gusts or indoors with echo, DJI Mic 2 held up admirably. I even used it to record content for TikTok, where clear sound is king.
