Wonderful review! Thanks, gents.
Thanks for watching!
For general purpose it sounds Excellent 👍 i would think it was DJI or Rode that cost 3 times more 😅
I agree! It doesn’t have the features that those higher prices set have, but sound-wise it holds up.
I got tvedes mic’s and and IPhone 13 Pro. What adapter can be used to mak these thing’s work together ? Nice video by the Way
I just tried a headset/lightning port adapter cable with the M1V series, and I can't get it to work on my phone. I think you need the phone-specific model, rather than the version aimed at cameras (which is what I have). They do include a TRS-to-TRRS cable if you have a dedicated input on your phone, but that doesn't apply to iPhones.
@@MatthewHaines Thank you for replying.
This was a great review gentleman
Keep it up and here for support 🙏🏼
Thank you very much!
Hello, how do you know the battery charge percentage? Thank you for the explanation
There is no indicator for battery percentage. The light will be red (blink or solid, I can't remember) when the battery is low, but that's it.
But there are time periods for charging the watch, and this is not true
Sorry, I don’t understand what you mean.
I follow you from Morocco. Thank you for this wonderful content
@Mohammed_el_maabdi I appreciate you watching my videos!
thnks for the info.❤ anyone tried it with fuji x series?
I haven’t, but perhaps another viewer will see your comment. 🤞
I just buy m1v6 super nice and affordable price
I’m glad to hear it!
هل يشتغل في الأيفون
يوجد طراز محدد مصمم لجهاز iPhone. يعمل هذا الإصدار أيضًا، إذا كنت تستخدم محول كابل 3.5 ملم. لم أختبر الإصدار المخصص للآيفون.
Yes, the original 3.5 cable worked for me
Does it work with Android phones?
Yes. I tested the version that has a mini jack output, so you'd need a 3.5mm-to-USB-C converter for it to work with your phone. They also make the BY-M1V4, which has a dedicated USB-C receiver.
Question? Will the BOYA M1V2 wireless Mic work with a gopro hero 10?
Yes...IF you have the Media Mod for the GoPro 10. Without that, you can't input external mics of any sort to the 10. (There may be third party ways to get audio into the 10, but I don't know for sure). I have this same issue with my GoPro 8 and bought a Media Mod so I could use external mics and a little selfie monitor. But yes, the M1V2 will work with it if you have the Mod.
Thank you very much@@MatthewHaines

One man use this is it better sound quality Iam new blogger using it my videos
If I understand you correctly, you're saying you're currently using this system? That's great! It's a simple system but sounds really good.
Hi how are you? you can helpme to decide betwen twos boya microfone, BY-WMic5-M4 or BY-M1V6 ? which one is better and why? I need it use for blogs in the street and youtube videos. please helpme. I be waiting for you answer as soon possible, thanks
Hi, Danny! I haven’t tested the WMic5 system so I don’t know how it sounds. However, I do know that the m1v series sounds pretty good. Also, the m1v includes an input for external mics (such as a lav or shotgun), which the wmic5 does not. Since they’re the same price, I’d go with the m1v.
@@MatthewHainesthanks bro
Just bought mines now thanks to your review . Thanks a lot
Glad I could help! Enjoy your new mics!
have this mic but haven't been able to configure it right. It´s seems to be super sensitive. I turn the volumen up to level 3 on the mic and around 20 on the camera. What are your levels for this video outdoors and indoors?
Yes it’s sensitive, which I think is a good thing. The way camera inputs are labeled varies from company to company, so my -12 dB might not be your 20. Typically though, camera mic inputs aren’t great quality. So it’s best to have the mic signal strong and then back off on the camera input.
I set my M1V2 at “2”, which is to say I set it to minimum (LED flashes) and then two clicks up.
i bought it, thank you! i record classes, but the phone app that is used, the BOYA app, is only in Chinese and it is not functioning well. do you have an idea for which app i can use on my phone while recording?
Can’t you just use the phone’s built-in video or voice recorder apps?
Hello what is the color indicator when is fully charge ?
Solid blue light.
Your test on iphone 😊 ?
This model works on an iPhone (or android) if you use a mini jack converter cable. However, Boya makes a version that plugs directly into an iPhone, no cable required. M1V5 and V6. I have not tested those particular models though. Thanks for your comment!
That's the microphone I chose. My only problem at the moment is that if I plug it into the phone, no audio sound on the phone comes out. So in a video chat they can hear me perfectly, but I can't hear the other party. If I choose hands-free during a call, the problem is that it disconnects the connected USB microphone. Do you have any ideas how I could use this microphone in a Zoom conference or in a car, for example?
I know what you're talking about. The problem is that phones tend to be all or nothing: if something's plugged in, audio in AND out is routed to that device, even if it's not equipped to output anything. You could get a splitter cable to separate the headphones output and mic input, and then stick earbuds in your ears...which kind of defeats the purpose. These just aren't intended to be used that way, unfortunately.
Hi Matt, how are you? It's me again between this buoy mic and hollyland lark m1, which one is better? Which one records audio better? Thank you, I hope you can answer me soon, greetings.
Hi, Danny! I haven't had any experience with the Hollyland products, sorry. The Boya doesn't record internally, if that's what you meant. But if you mean overall sound quality...I don't know!
Will this work as USB mic on a PC if using the USB C version?
It should! I can't confirm 100% but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work on a computer's USB-C port. I don't have the USB-C version, just the minijack one.
Mashallah good bro 😎🎉
Thanks very much!
Thanks for this honest review I actually just bought it because of your review 😎
You're welcome. Hope you like them!

Thanks for watching!
Just ordered one of these thanks for the excellent review. I fish and film and I needed an affordable system. I was using a corded system but it kept getting snagged. I also didn’t feel like paying $450 Australian for the Rode. Can’t wait for it to turn up!
It sounds perfect! Just don't drop it in the water while fishing. :) Although you'll have a backup transmitter if you do....
@@MatthewHaines I fish with a few people at a time and would be nice to film them and have great audio, will hopefully take my channels content to a new format where it’s not just POV or first person view.
Sounds great! Make sure you use those deadcats outside. :) @@Yaknmatt
@@MatthewHaines 👍🏻👍🏻
Can i use an Iphone adapter cable for the MV1 instead of buying the iphone version which is the M1V6
Yes! It just means you have a little more cable hanging down from your receiver, and that you're using the analog signal rather than a digital one. Personally, I think that's a better option because you're not stuck with ONLY using the wireless system on your iPhone.
@@MatthewHaines Thanks for the info, I do use my mirror less camera, Ios device as well as my usb C android device for content creating. so will there be any effect in sound quality?
It’s unlikely. I have not tested the specific version of the M1 you’re considering, but normal background noise will usually be much louder than any digital vs analog noise. I do not find the analog output of the M1V2 to be particularly noisy. The phone versions are more for convenience in my opinion.
@@MatthewHaines thanks for the reply, the one that I am planning to buy is the one that you' reviewed in this video.
Hi! How about hollyland Lark M1? Is better than this one?
Unfortunately, I have not tested the Hollyland mic yet. Thanks for your comment!
Very nice review. Thanks👍😀
Thanks for watching!
Some cameras cannot record stereo (eg. Canon M50, DJI Osmo Pocket 1) . Same holds to mobile phones over the TRRS jack.
It's a good thing the M1V2 has a selectable mono/stereo output then! Users with mono-input devices can still use it.
I love your reviewing of BOYA M1V2, it's very clear and details, good job. Bty, your boy is very handsome😜
Thanks for your comments! I will tell my son and he will blush with embarrassment. :)
my mic not charging how to fix it?
Are you having this trouble with both transmitters and the receiver? Or just one unit?
I have these and with one mic the background noise was terrible in mono which is why I ended up here. Yours sounds great thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching and I hope the video was helpful. I’m curious about the background noise though, because using a single microphone in mono mode, should not necessarily create background noise. What did it sound like?
Hey btw great content much respect from Morocco and i really really need your help im stuck between this one and the boyalink which one is the best
Thanks for your kind words! To answer your question, it depends on how you're using this. If you're using it with a camera and a 3.5mm input, then go with the M1V2. I declined to review the Boyalink because of how it connects to cameras. If you're using it only with a phone, then I'd probably go with the Boyalink.
Thanks for your information btw I watched your video more than 3 times HH I will use it with a camera but if I'm going to use it with a phone I think I will buy a jack or something like that because my main source of video recording is a camera
you can also use the 2nd channel to invert the phase and reduce background noise?
Hmm, I'm not sure if that would work. You would likely get weird artifacts at the very least. But you should try it and let me know! :)
noise gate dont sound good, but i like the sound and the price. I wanted to buy 1 transmitter and 2 receivers to send a signal from field mixer to the ears of director and assitent but it was not this option, so i bought 1 transmitter and one reciever. thanx for the video and for this valid info. greeting
That's an interesting use that I haven't seen for small wireless sets like this: one transmitter to two receivers. I wonder if there's an untapped market for that? :) Thanks for your comment, and I'm glad the video was useful to you!
@@MatthewHaines I have use to send signal to the director headphones even sennheiser G series but one time they broken , so minus 600 dollars. Now im planing to use these small, quality and good price wireless.
What camera did you shoot the video with, it's great, is it a camera or an iPhone?
Thanks for watching! The outdoor shots were on a Sony ZV-1, and the studio shots were with a Panasonic Lumix GH4 (which is quite old!). I have since upgraded to a Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k for the studio shots, but still use the GH4 occasionally (and use the ZV1 all the time).
@MatthewHaines thanks Mr ❤
I have nad nothing but good luck out of Boya so far. For the money you cant beat them.
Agreed!
thanks for the review! this one is helpful as I was about to buy this.
I think you’ll find it useful!
Can you connect more than 2 mics ?
No, just the two.
Can the microphone be plugged into the line-in port?
it is typically plugged into the mic input on your camera, or - with the right cable adapters - to your phone input. I'm not sure what you mean by line input. Like to an audio mixer? I don't think that would work because it's not a line-level signal being output.
Wow this was an awesome review. Thank you for what you do!
And thank you for your kind words!
I have purchased but really it does not record in crowd noise .
Wireless mics are almost always omnidirectional, so they’re going to pick up sounds from all directions. I think you would have this issue with any model/brand of wireless mic in a crowd.
@@MatthewHaines I really tried much but it picks the voice of crowd and even holding close to mouth does not pick my voice clearly except crowd
Thanks for valuable informations
You’re welcome, and thanks for watching!
hey i want to know how could you put the clip for belt in the hot shoe seat (nice review)
Thanks! The clips on both the receiver and two transmitters are identical. However, they are designed so that the width of the clip fits nicely into a hot shoe. All you do is turn the receiver so the clip is underneath, then you pinch open the clip, just a small distance, and it slides right into the hot shoe.
@@MatthewHaines i'm gonna try thank you so much:)
Nice
Thanks!
Is it possible to record two interlocutors. One for A and one for B?
Yes! If you set the receiver unit to “stereo”, it will record one transmitter’s feed to the left channel, and the other to the right. You then can control them independently in your editing software (you just have to be able to split the stereo audio track into two mono tracks).
Thank you))) @@MatthewHaines
nice studio you built!
Thanks! I'm planning on doing a video soon about what went into making it.
Hello, I follow your channel from Turkey, I am a student, I have a few questions for you, is it compatible with iPhone? How is the phone sound quality? Would you recommend it for documentary shootings and interviews?
Hi, Fatih! Thanks for watching. I tested the version that uses a 3.5mm cable. This is designed for camera inputs, but you could use this model with an audio adapter cable to your phone. Boya DOES make versions of this mic set that specifically plug into iPhone and Android phones, but I haven't tried those specifically.
The audio quality is very good for the price. If you spend more money, you'lll get more features than this but not necessarily better sound. I made a short a few months ago that compares these and two other mic systems. You might find it interesting: th-cam.com/users/shortsHm8rBHpYvpk
Will it work on S22 ultra without external app?
Hi! Since the S22 Ultra doesn't have a headphone jack, this specific model wouldn't work with it (without an adapter). You'd need to get the BY-M1V4 version (or M1V3), which has a USB-C port. I haven't tested that version but I assume it would work with no problems on your phone.
@@MatthewHaines Thanks a lot !! How about external camera apps? Does it need external app or built in camera will work?
@@inversiongames5772 if should work with the built in app. I’m an iPhone user myself so I don’t have first-hand knowledge of how external mics work on android devices. But my understanding is that they are plug-and-play.
What do you think, is the Boya compatible with Xiaomi 11t pro, and can it be used for ASMR ?
It should be compatible. The M1V2 comes with minjack cables, both TRS (for camera) and TRRS (for phone). If you don't have a mini headphone/mic jack on your phone, you'll need a simple cable to connect it to the USB-C port. This is what I have to do when I use it with my iphone (use a minijack to lighting port cable adapter).
You could use it for ASMR, sure. It's light enough that can position is just about anywhere, and it sounds pretty decent.
Thank you very much , and by the way, great video :)
Thanks!
Yes, you can choose BOYA M1V4, with Type-C device, you can contact to Xiaomi 11t pro directly.
@@tingyingzhong3508 I already ordered M1V2 :( But Thank you for your advice :)
Nice..
I bought M1V1, but I didn't know how to connect it to my phone "galaxy note9" even to my camera "Sony ZV1" 😔
Hi, Mohammed. There are two different cables, one to connect the unit to phones, and another to connect it to the ZV1. Let me know if you're still having trouble.
@@MatthewHaines yeah Mr. Matthew, I just noticed them right after I wrote my comment 😅
And it's working very well on both of devices, thank you so much 🙏🏼 🌹
@@mohammedbasalamah4464 that’s good news!
@Finn 💯!!!💙
He's a great kid!
@@MatthewHaines Yes I can see that and he is so cute and funny, I have two boys and he reminds me of them! Take good care of him!
Hello, I just used my latest boya mic purchase the BY-M1V and noticed there is a delay in capturing audio in the beginning. So my first few seconds are always cut off or uncaptured by the mic. Is this normal?? I have the type C model
Hi! Unfortunately, I didn't test a phone-based version of these mics, so I don't have any direct experience with what you're describing. I do know that on many wireless systems where the receiver is plugged into (and powered by) a phone, they will shut off after awhile if the phone isn't active. They lose connection with the transmitter until the unit is powered up again. That might be accounting for the delay in getting audio. Does it happen even if your phone is unlocked and active?
In any event, I would suggest contacting Boya and see what they say. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
These are nice but I can't figure out which model to get because they have so many different wireless lav mics. It doesn't make it any easier.
They do have a bunch of models, I agree! Basically, yer M1V series divides into one or two transmitters, and camera/iPhone/USB receiver versions.
They recently released a new model that includes adapters for all three camera types, but I declined to review it for various reasons.
Basically, pick what device you'll be using it for and go with that. :)
Is this the raw audio?
No EQ added. Some limiting added just to even out some of the levels (which I always do).
@@MatthewHaines Cool thanks, new subs here. Is the mic still working?
@@nissangamba heh. Yes they still work. However, one of the transmitter clips broke off. I can still use that Tx but can’t clip it to my shirt. YMMV!
Can you charge the phone while the receiver is plugged in? Is there a pass-through option?
Hi! I reviewed the analog-output version of these, which require that you plug a mini 3.5mm jack into a camera or TRRS phone input. That unit does not have any of those features you asked about. However, they have variations on the system that plug directly into the USB-C or lightning port of a phone. I don't know about these and I can't find anything online, one way or the other.
I have emailed Boya and will let you know what I find out.
I love how this mic sounds, but I dont know how this compares to the boyalink. Both are similarly priced, and I really cant decide, help me
I tested the Boyalink but had some issues with the way it plugged into cameras. If you’re using it with a phone, it’s decent. I wouldn’t use it with a mini jack camera input though (even though it comes with an adapter). That’s why I chose not to review it.
Thanks for that insight, if you had to pick one, I am guessing it would be the M1V2?@@MatthewHaines
I primarily record with cameras using a 3.5mm input, so for that use, I'd go with the M1V2.@@jundaaaaaaaaaa
Thanks for the review!
Glad it was helpful!
What about playback, need to remove Rx module for listening Audio?
If you''re using it on a camera, then playback isn't affected. You can listen to playback as you usually would, either through the camera's tiny speakers or through its headphone jack. If you're plugging this in to a phone, then yes, you'll have to unplug the Rx to play back your audio. Boya makes phone-specific versions of this system, which might be a better fit for you. Since I didn't test a phone-receiver unit, I don't know if there is a headphone jack on the phone Rx's. There *is* a headphone jack in this version of the Rx for monitoring live.
@@MatthewHaines Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Nice review. I have a question. If I set the two transmitters to mono and record, can I separate the left and right channels and record them in stereo? I'd like to record the sound from the left and right speakers of the home audio. Thanks!
Yes, that should work. The transmitters are both mono already, but when you set the receiver to “stereo”, on Tx is recorded left and the other to the right channel.
I will say though there are better ways to record audio than by putting mics in front of speakers!
@@MatthewHaines Oh, my question was wrong, but you answered it correctly. Now I understand. If I set it to split mode, I can separate the left and right channels and record it. Very thanks to you! Subscribed to your channel.😊
i have problem with my mic tx to camera canon i get noise
Can you describe the noise? Is it continuous or intermittent? Also, make sure you're using the right cable for camera connection, not phone connection.
