- Hollyland announces new Lark M2S wireless microphone to rival DJI and Rode
- The M2S is available in twin mic / receiver sets for around $139 / £130
- It has a discreet logo-free design and weighs only 7g
There is no shortage of wireless microphones for content creators in 2025, with the DJI Mic Mini and Rode Wireless Micro being two good examples. So how is it possible to stand out in an increasingly saturated market? By being practically invisible, as it turns out.
The new Hollyland Lark M2S has a feature to rival the DJI Mic Mini, but with the design DJI wishes it had: the Lark M2S is not only the smallest wireless microphone we’ve seen yet, when clipped to clothing , but it is also a logo. -free.
A discreet and logo-free microphone that weighs just 7g and doesn’t pull on clothing is a win in our book – far too many wireless microphones are far too visible in content flooding social media. You only have to look at the wireless microphones 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 has pushed the features, though. You get smartphone-beating 24-bit audio, a single-tap ambient noise reduction (ENC) function, a 70dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) plus a 116dB maximum sound pressure level (SPL).
Battery life is rated at up to 9 hours of record time for each microphone, which can be extended with the charging case to 30 hours, while the maximum transmission range is up to 300m.
Those are solid specs for a wireless microphone system that can be purchased as a kit consisting of two transmitters (microphones), two receivers (one basic for USB-C smartphones, the other for cameras with a 3.5mm port) plus charging case , for just $139 / £130 – that’s a fraction less than the Mic Mini. Oh, and a Lightning cable for older iPhones is thrown in for good measure – see everything included in the Max combo in the image above.
The best of both DJI and Rode in a single package?
So how does the Hollyland Lark M2S fare against DJI and Rode rivals? Specification wise, positive; it apparently offers the best of both the DJI Mic Mini and Rode Wireless Micro models in a single package.
You get a small receiver for 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 connected to a smartphone.
We can’t comment on the actual sound quality of the Lark M2S yet, but our in-depth review is in the pipeline, so stay tuned. What we can say is that the Lark M2S design and overall package looks fantastic. You can pre-order now using the links above.
