Edifier has introduced the MK12 wireless lavalier microphone in China. It is now available on JD.com for 139 yuan ($20). The microphone is available in two colors, Classic Black and Cloud Rock White, and is designed for simple, plug-and-play use with a wide range of audio systems.

Edifier MK12 Microphone Specifications

The MK12 includes a clip-on transmitter and a receiver with a standard 3.5mm audio plug. This design allows it to connect directly to speakers, portable amplifiers, sound systems, and mixers without requiring additional setup. Edifier has developed a custom housing for the MK12, moving away from generic molds to create a more distinctive design.

The microphone uses 2.4GHz wireless transmission to ensure a stable connection. Edifier claims the device can maintain an unobstructed wireless range of over 30 meters. It features a high-sensitivity, unidirectional electret condenser capsule that is tuned for clear vocal pickup. The company positions the MK12 as a solution for classrooms, training sessions, sales presentations, and promotional events.

Edifier has included a built-in DSP chip for audio processing. The DSP provides anti-feedback technology to reduce howling and improve voice clarity, even during live amplification. It also supports advanced features like Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) and Environmental Noise Cancellation (ENC). These technologies help eliminate background noise and maintain clear speech, even in demanding environments.

The transmitter includes a 300mAh battery, which provides up to 15 hours of use on a single charge. The microphone uses a clip-on design for easy attachment to clothing, while the receiver comes with a lanyard for added portability.

The MK12 has a frequency response of 100Hz to 10kHz, which is optimized for voice rather than music. It supports both 3.5mm and 6.35mm inputs, with an adapter included in the package for compatibility with larger connectors.

In related news, Edifier has recently launched the retro-inspired M330 II Bluetooth speaker with LDAC, AirPlay 2, and up to 14 hours of battery life, alongside the Hecate Air 3 Commander open-ear gaming headset with 2.4G wireless connectivity and Bluetooth 6.0 support.

The collaboration spans products from CORSAIR, Elgato, and Drop, bringing Fallout-themed designs to headsets, keyboards, microphones, streaming tools, and desk accessories.

The launch comes at a time when Fallout continues to attract a growing audience through its long-running game series and the recent television adaptation. CORSAIR says the collection is aimed at fans who want their gaming or streaming setups to reflect their interest in the franchise.

The collection also includes a 90 x 40 cm desk mat, an MT3-profile keycap set, and four artisan keycaps. These artisan keycaps are designed as Fallout-themed items, including Nuka Cola Power Armor, the Thirst Zapper, a Nuka Cola vending machine, and a crate of Nuka Cola bottles.

Elgato’s Nuka Cola lineup targets streamers and content creators. It includes a 15-key Stream Deck, the Wave:3 USB microphone, and the Wave Mic Arm LP. Stream Deck allows users to control apps, games, and hardware using customizable keys and built-in integrations. The Wave:3 microphone offers professional-grade audio through a USB connection and works with Wave Link software for audio mixing.

The post Insta360 Launches Mic Air Wireless Mic and X5 Creator Bundle for Content Creators appeared first on Gizmochina.

I review a lot of tech, but this is the first time I’m actually reviewing a microphone. And to be honest, I didn’t expect it to be this interesting. The Maono DM40 Pro is Maono’s latest foray into the content creator and gaming space—a market saturated with flashy RGB designs and buzzword-heavy features.

What makes the DM40 Pro stand out, though, isn’t just the RGB or the gaming aesthetics. It’s the smart mix of wireless connectivity, software features, and surprisingly clean audio performance that punches far above its price.

What’s in the Box

Unboxing the DM40 Pro is refreshingly straightforward. Here’s what you get in the box:

• The microphone itself, already mounted in its shock mount and built-in pop filter
• A sturdy desktop stand
• A USB-C to USB-A cable for wired connection or charging
• A compact USB-C wireless receiver that tucks neatly into the back of the mic when not in use

It’s a plug-and-play setup that takes less than a minute to get going.

Design & Controls

The DM40 Pro has a design that feels modern without trying too hard. I tested the matte black version, which has just enough gamer edge with its honeycomb grille and subtle RGB glow without looking like something out of a sci-fi movie.

It’s compact and clean, with no garish branding or unnecessary bulk. The top portion of the grille doubles as a capacitive mute button—a simple tap mutes the mic and lights up a red indicator, which is perfect during calls or live streams when you need instant silence without fumbling for buttons.

Opposite the capacitive mute button, there’s another capacitive control dedicated to noise suppression. By default, it cycles through three levels of noise cancellation—each press increases the level of suppression. You can also customize the noise cancellation settings to suit your preferences.

Below the grille sits a gain knob that can also control headphone volume when pressed—it’s functional, though it has a bit of a wobbly feel I wasn’t expecting. On the bottom, you’ll find the USB-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack for zero-latency monitoring, a power/RGB toggle button, and a dedicated button for toggling the headphone feature.

The base stand is stable enough for desktop use, but the mic also unscrews easily if you want to mount it on an arm. There’s a small compartment on top of the mic stand joint where you can securely place the USB-C receiver while carrying it around. Overall, it’s a compact, user-friendly build that makes a strong first impression.

Features & Connectivity

What sets the DM40 Pro apart is its dual-mode functionality. You can use it as a traditional wired USB mic or cut the cord entirely with the included 2.4GHz wireless receiver. I used both modes extensively, and honestly, I kept going back to wireless. The freedom to move the mic anywhere on my desk or even carry it to a different room without dealing with cables is liberating. Latency is negligible—Maono claims 0.02ms, and I couldn’t detect any noticeable lag during voice chat or recordings.

Battery life is outstanding. I averaged around 65-70 hours on a full charge, which meant I didn’t need to think about plugging it in for days. Even better, you can use it while charging. There’s no battery indicator on the mic or in the software, which is a bit of a miss, but the runtime is long enough that I never hit empty during use.

Then, there’s the RGB lighting. It’s subtle but stylish, with multiple color modes you can toggle via a button or customize in the software. If you’re not into RGB, you can shut it off completely. But if you are, it’s one of the best-implemented lighting setups I’ve seen in a sub-$100 mic.

Software

Install Maono Link, and the DM40 Pro really opens up. The app is clean, minimal, and surprisingly powerful. You can adjust mic gain, monitor volume, and noise reduction intensity with visual feedback. There’s a 5-band EQ with gaming, live, and original presets, or you can build your own profile from scratch. The reverb controls are basic but fun for creative use.

Then there’s the AI voice changer. I went into it skeptical, but Maono’s implementation is better than expected. The software includes 10 presets that radically alter your voice—everything from anime characters to gritty action-hero tones. It’s clearly a novelty feature, but one that might actually be useful for VTubers, streamers, or anyone doing character-based content. The voice changer creates a second virtual audio device, so you can easily route your processed voice into Discord or OBS.

The noise cancellation is another highlight. It’s adjustable from subtle to aggressive, and in my testing, it handled fan hum and background chatter surprisingly well. At moderate levels, it filtered out ambient sound without noticeably affecting my voice. Only at the most aggressive setting did the audio start to sound processed.

You can also control the RGB lighting through the software. It lets you customize lighting effects, switch between modes like breathing or looping, and adjust the brightness levels to your preference.

Audio Quality

The DM40 Pro sounds really, really good for its price. This is a condenser mic with a 16mm capsule and a cardioid pickup pattern, tuned for the voice frequencies that matter. Whether I was recording VO for a Podcast, hopping on a game, or just chatting in Discord, it delivered a clean, full-bodied sound with no harsh edges. There’s a warmth in the mids that gives vocals some character, and the highs are present without being shrill. Background noise is already pretty well controlled even without software filtering, thanks to the mic’s directional pattern and solid shock mount.

Plosives were well-managed, even without an external pop filter. The built-in grille design does a great job here—you can get fairly close to the mic without worrying about distorted ‘P’ sounds or clipping. Though if you’re shouting into it at max gain, some overdrive is expected.

In terms of sibilance, the mic handles ‘S’ and ‘SH’ sounds decently, but it’s not flawless. As you’ll hear in the demo, those frequencies aren’t overly sharp, but there’s definitely room for improvement in how cleanly it smooths out high-end sibilant tones.

The 24-bit/48kHz recording quality might not impress audiophile purists chasing 96kHz+ resolution, but for most creators, this is broadcast-grade clarity. Monitoring through the 3.5mm jack is immediate and clean, and being able to toggle it on and off without diving into menus is appreciated.

By the way, I ran into an issue a few times where the microphone couldn’t pair properly. The software instructed me to tap and hold the knob, then press the power button three times quickly—but that didn’t fix it. The mic wasn’t working with third-party software either.

Eventually, I discovered a feature in the app called Wireless Pairing. All you need to do is reset the receiver through that and then restart the mic, and it should start working normally. Just sharing this in case you run into the same problem.

Okay, now I’m sharing a few audio demos recorded with this microphone.

Maono DM40 Pro Audio Test with Slight Noise Cancellation

Maono DM40 Pro Audio Test with Aggressive Noise Cancellation

Maono DM40 Pro Sibilance Test

Verdict

The Maono DM40 Pro feels like a mic designed for the modern content creator—someone who wants excellent sound, wireless freedom, and customization options without breaking the bank. It’s not the flashiest mic on the market, nor is it built like a tank, but it delivers where it counts: sound quality, ease of use, and real utility.

It’s rare that I test a mic this affordable that I’d genuinely recommend to seasoned streamers, gamers, and podcasters alike. But the DM40 Pro pulls it off. If you’re looking for a versatile, wireless mic that won’t wreck your budget, this one should be at the top of your list.

The Maono DM40 Pro is available for $85.99 and can be purchased directly from the official Maono website.

The upcoming launch of DJI‘s second-generation wireless microphone, DJI MIC 2, is stirring excitement in the tech world. This new version, slated for release on January 17, promises to be a significant upgrade from its predecessor. Here’s a look at what makes the DJI MIC 2 stand out.

The microphone features intelligent noise reduction as well.

One of the most notable improvements is the addition of intelligent noise reduction. This feature is a game-changer for anyone who records in noisy environments. It means clearer audio with less background interference, a crucial aspect for content creators and professionals. The DJI MIC 2 also steps up its game with 32-bit floating-point internal recording. This technical advancement allows for a wider dynamic range, ensuring that the microphone captures sound more accurately and with greater detail. This is especially beneficial when recording in various environments, from quiet studios to bustling streets.

Battery life is another area where the DJI MIC 2 shines. The new model offers an impressive 18-hour battery life, up from 15 hours, when used with its charging box. This longer battery life is essential for those long shooting days, ensuring you won’t be left without audio at a critical moment.

We recently got a pretty good microphone. It is suitable for both the more professional and the average person who knows nothing about recording. And if you want to improve the quality of your recordings later, you only need to change a cable. That’s how convenient it is. Fifine K688 USB/XLR DYNAMIC MICROPHONE, a microphone for most people.

What’s in the box?

What do you get if you buy the K688? A User’s manual, a 5/8″ male to 3/8″ female adapter, an 8.2ft (2.5m) USB C to USB cable, and a microphone with shock mount.

Design

The Fifine K688 has a simple look, no flashy styling, and no RGB lighting. The only thing that lights up is the mute button, and you can tell if it’s in mute mode by the color. This button is a non-pressable touch button, so it also reduces the possibility of damage outside.

This large circular structure is the shock mount, which can reduce the noise brought about by the resonance of the desktop. The microphone is connected to the metal ring by four rubber bands, and you can clean them without any disassembly.

There are two knobs and three ports on the back. The knob is used to control the mic gain and monitor volume. the 3.5mm headphone hole is no doubt for you to access the monitoring headphones. The remaining two ports: a USB C port and an XLR port, according to the use of anyone can choose to access your device.

Why does the Fifine K688 have two audio jacks on the back? Their official website gives the answer: It is anyone’s mic. If you don’t have knowledge about microphones, you just connect to your device with the USB in the box and it will work correctly. But if you know more about microphones and want to improve the quality of your recordings, then the XLR interface is for you.

If you are new to microphones

A sensible voice reminds you of choosing a microphone based on the use environment when the budget is tight. Because most of the time recording especially streaming was done in environments that are not treated. With hard surfaces all around your room, the sound is going to bounce off and bounce into your mic. The excessive noise floor is the top deal-breaker for most people.

What you really need to muddle is the background sound, and the dynamic cardioid capsule does let the Fifine K688 shine through in that aspect. Normal users do not have any sort of special acoustical treatment in the rooms. A dynamic microphone will come in super helpful in this circumstance because it does not pick up much distracting background or reflected sound.

If you are expert in microphones

The audio quality may come down to what interface you are running the mic through if you are using the XLR connector. But basically, it is not the general type of dynamic mics where the mids are prominent while the brightness is lacking. Inheriting from FIFINE’s bloodline, the treble is something that will not miss but it is not so much to assault your ear with harshness.

If there is such a necessary, or maybe for a special two-PC setup, you can even send the signal from the mic to two different places, like your PC and an audio interface or a PA when using it outdoors.

So, this is the fifine K688, a microphone for everyone. It is currently priced at $79.99 USD, which shouldn’t be too expensive for a microphone that is easy to use and has room for upgrades. As long as you can afford it, I recommend buying it as your main microphone.

Huawei had just recently launched its latest flagship series, the Huawei P40 lineup. It arrives with top notch specs and features, and according to a new leak, it can soon also be used as a standalone dedicated microphone, thanks to its wireless sound transmission.

From what we know so far, the wireless sound transmission is a feature that is only supported on the Huawei FreeBuds, FlyPods and FreeLance series of audio wearables at the moment. Through these headphones, one can transmit the external sound directly from the Huawei P40’s microphone to the Bluetooth headset or Bluetooth speakers in real time. In other words, it effectively makes the smartphone a dedicated microphone which also allows sound amplification.

There are certain real life applications of this as well. First, the wireless listening can act as a baby monitor, a device that relays sound from an audio capturing device in the infants’ room and an audio output device with the mother when she is not around. Thus, creating a situation that even if she is busy, the sound of the baby crying or other emergencies can be heard from afar through headphones.

Another great example is sound application. Imagine a tour guide giving a lecture on all the rare and ancient artifacts in a museum. It can even be used by teachers for sound amplification, with the Huawei P40 acting as the microphone while a Bluetooth speaker amplifies the sounds so it is better audible for a larger crowd. A few people have also ridiculed the feature, as it also has potential for eavesdropping from a different room, although its viability is still unsure.
