The best mobile microphones for 2025
- If you’ve ever tried recording audio on your phone and found it sounding muffled or full of background noise, you’re not alone.
- Built-in microphones are fine for quick calls, but when it comes to creating content, recording music or capturing crystal-clear audio for a podcast, you need a mobile microphone that’s up to the task.
- Lavalier microphones are perfect for presenting to the camera with the flexibility to move around while maintaining consistent audio quality.
- The benefit of a shotgun microphone is that they tend to be highly directional, which makes them perfect for podcasts, recording instruments, foley sounds and much more.
- There are plenty of great wireless lavalier microphone options with convenient adapters, which can connect directly to your smartphone via Bluetooth.

- The article also mentions wireless DJI's Mic 2 system, which provides some important upgrades from its predecessor.
