Hollyland Lark M1 Wireless Lavalier Microphone with Noise Cancellation, 656ft Transmission, 8H Battery Life, Compact Wireless Lapel Microphone System for DSLR Cameras, iPhones, Androids, StreamingClimatePartner certified

I’ve been using the Hollyland Lark M1 and was really impressed with its performance and reliability. It worked perfectly for my needs, so much so that I decided to buy the second version to have even better features and upgrades.If you’re looking for a dependable wireless mic system, the Lark series is definitely worth considering.

Pro video guy prefer this to the rode mics as they self charge and I'm less likely to lose erm. I did lose one but that on me

I’m pretty disappointed with my M1 Lark. It simply won’t connect to my iPhone 13. The receiver and the transmitter pair successfully, I use an Apple jack to Lightning adaptor which works perfectly on my iPhone 13 with every other device I connect, I’ve connected everything in the order that Hollyland suggests, and still nothing. Therefore it’s useless to me. Returning.

So far, after a few uses, I think this is a great purchase. This mic set is a fraction of the price compared to competitors such as the dji mic set. I will mainly use this with my Canon R50. The TX connectivity worked well with my camera. I purchased x1TX and x1RX set. This came with all the wires I needed so no need to buy additional wires. It also came in a nice protective case which was unexpected, a nice addition. The Bluetooth seems to work well, I've had no issues. The quality of the audio is much better compared the inbuilt camera microphone. You may not get as good of noise cancellation as you would a professional DJI mic set. However if you are on a budget this is a great 'middle' ground. With better audio than inbuilt mic's on phone's or camera's. The clip on the TX feels well made and securely fits into the hotshoe on top of my camera. The mic is lightweight and small with another sturdy clip for you to clip onto clothing. I have not tested the Bluetooth range more than 20ft but I'm sure it goes far further as advertised.I have only been using this for a few days. Hopefully I don't come across any issues. But so far, I see no problems with this product. Lightweight, easy to use, comes with all accessories needed and a lovely case, worth the very affordable price.

I bought this for an admittedly unusual setup. I play games with my friends and I've been working on a longue setup so I don't need to sit in my office 24/7. However, since I didn't want wires and whatnot trailing all over the place, and as soon as you get beyond the most barebones mic setup, you're into professional gear territory, I changed tactics and looked at lavalier (lav) microphones. I also don't want a headset so that was another constraint for me.For some context, I'm by no means an audio professional, but I do care about sound quality both incoming and outgoing. I see it as only polite to have a decent mic if I'm talking to friends and I go to fairly big lengths to do so. For my office PC, I've got a Rhode NT on a swing arm, with a pop-shield and foam reverb shield around it. I know this sounds like overkill for just talking to mates while gaming, but I do care, and it's interesting.As this was on discount, and it regularly is on discount so I advise against paying full price if you can wait, I took a crack at it. I only took a crack on discount as I'd not heard of Hollyland beforehand and was instead considering Rhode again, but they are expensive.Both myself and my friends on the other side are properly impressed by the sound quality, one of my friends even going so far as to say that I sound better through the Hollyland lav, but I was holding it up to my mouth for that. Having a lav mic is excellent, I'm free to not only sit on the sofa in front of the telly but also wander off into the kitchen and make a cup of tea, and my friends can hear all of it. They especially enjoy the kettle blasting through their speakers. There *is* sound cancellation which does a decent (or so I'm told, I've not properly tested) job, but where's the fun in that?A single charge lasts roughly six hours. I say roughly as it doesn't make any obvious notice of low battery outside of the light going red and throbbing, but I have the light pointed inwards because the bright blue is distracting. The pairing also works surprisingly flawlessly, I've had very few issues using the lav or receiver. The receiver itself lasts far longer and I've not yet had this run out of power on me even when using the mic whilst it's charging. It lasts for at least 8 hours, I'd say.However, it isn't perfect, which is to be expected for a ~£40 product. The lower rating is because the imperfections are on the weird stuff rather than the quality or battery. As previously stated, the power and function lights are a rather jarring bright blue, which isn't something you want in your periphery.Not only this, but when using to record audio for a PC, it can be weirdly hit and miss. The receiver seems to behave entirely differently depending on the PC it's plugged into. This is likely a Windows problem but still my experience. For one PC, the USB-C connection works but is a bit quiet, while the 3.5mm jack works brilliantly, while the other computer is the opposite, but less extreme. Windows itself shows that it "perceives" almost no volume whatsoever, but Teamspeak and other software picks up the audio input with no problem at all despite this. It's weird, man.Plugging in the USB-C to charge the receiver whilst having the 3.5mm jack for audio also seems to apply a minor static background noise with the power delivery, but again this could be the vastly more complicated power delivery of a house into PSU into motherboard into USB into receiver, all of which can vary in many ways.My final issue is that you, sadly, can't seem to buy another mic and/or charging case without buying a complete package. I don't need another receiver, but I would quite like another mic so I can quickly swap when one runs out or perhaps have friends over.However, despite my weird PC issues and purchase options aside, this *is* a very solid product. The sound quality is excellent and the range, even through walls, is surprising. It was never really intended for how I use it, so to an extent my PC issues can be forgiven, though really this is something that should just work as it is, at the end of the day, a wireless receiver and a mic with a transmitter, no different to any other wireless mic.Absolutely worth it on discount, if you're expecting heavy (4+ hours) of constant use, I'd definitely recommend more than one, or the double package. The low price really sets this apart from the other, far more expensive options as you get a great deal of what the expensive competitors provide, for a fraction of the cost.

This is amazing mics I really recommend.

Good quality product.

Came highly recommended but I didn't think the audio from this was that great. I ended buying a DJI MIC mini and it blew this one out of the water so I sold it and kept the DJI Mic Mini.
