Boya mini launches as world's lightest wireless microphone

The Boya mini purports to deliver external audio equipment good enough to elevate content creation above the average smartphone video that fits in a case about the size of that of a pair of wireless earbuds. It houses transmitters rated to weigh just about 5 grams (g) each, even with their in-built lapel clip.

Each transmitter also houses a battery with an estimated 6 hours of life per charge, extended to a maximum of 30 when put back in their aforementioned charging case.

The Boya mini system is rated to supprt audio recording with a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of up to 80 decibels (dB) at a sound pressure level (SPL) of 120dB and a frequency range of 20 to 20,000 kilohertz (kHz).

It is also advertized to achieve 48 kHz/16-bit audio, though, as opposed to 24-bit in rivals such as the Hollyland Lark M2.

Then again, the Boya mini is now available with dual transmitters and a USB-C receiver (so as to be compatible with newer iPhones and most Android smartphones) for $47.99 on Amazon, whereas the same version of the M2 is $90 even with its current Black Friday 2024 deals.

The mini has also been released with other receiver options such as TRX to its AliExpress page.
