Thank you so much & congratulations on gaining a new subscriber in me!
Hello! Wow thank you so much for the kind words - I'm really glad you enjoyed this video and it helped with your decision! Welcome the Trending Reviews family! ❤️
Interesting microphone setup. The noise cancellation is most likely using an algorithm that looks at high correlation in the sound. Your voice changes intensity and frequency so it doesn’t fall in that window. Any sound that changes a lot or suddenly will also fall outside that window. An example would be if you crumple paper it will not be canceled but any continuous and consistent noise like a fan or the road noise from an automobile while you’re driving would be canceled. As for line-of-site that will include your body being between the transmitter and receiver. Overall I thought it sounded pretty good. I would suggest running it on medium when you’re outside and since most people tend to talk louder outside the medium setting should work well. It will also help with wind and other unwanted noise. Thanks for your review. Have a great day and be safe out there!
@@allboutthemojo it's going to be best used for voice communication. Anything that has noise cancellation that uses an active algorithm is going to cancel any sustained note Even if noise cancellation can be turned off it would be too easy to accidentally have it on and completely miss a track
Hiya just purchased these mics on recommendation from you on this video. We started filming food reviews at the beach on UA-cam 5 months ago and we were looking at ways to remove some of the wave sounds. We found the video very informative and helpful. We will be down on Blackpool Beach tomorrow, look forward to trying these microphones then. Thanks Take care 🩷
Great demo video. You did an outstanding review. Is it the best mic to use for everything, probably not. Is it the best mic to use, when you are on a budget, or want to grab a quick interview on your cell phone, or podcast, or a road trip doc, or as an emergency backup mic? Absolutely! This is definitely a must to have in my gear bag.
Thank you John! I use it as a quick grab and go mic when I need to film outside my studio, otherwise I use my main shotgun XLR mic for most of my recordings. :)
I've pinned a comment and added to description! They don't sell the official Apple one just yet, but there is an alternative that should also still work.
Towards the end of your video, when you walked back to your camera, you said you played back the audio and that it came out "perfect". There were a few times when the audio dropped out, became scratchy or muffled during your walking away from your camera filming outdoors. So, how could you say that the audio came out perfectly?
I think 200 meters is quite a long distance. This issue doesn't decrease the value of the product. Any decent Vlogger would shot %90 of their footages within max 20-30 meters. Which is more than enough I guess.
Great video! Can you connect it to your iphone simply using the classic white aux-to-lightning cable? (instead of buying the specific cable from the transmiter to the iphone) THANKS!!!
Thank you! And great question - I think it wont work with that method, because that aux-to-lightning adapter is made for Audio OUT only, and not Audio IN, which is required for microphones, and hence the need for that specific cable.
This system has a few things going for it. I like the ultra small size and the eight hours of run time. Also a big plus is being able to CHARGE and PAIR the units independant of the charging box. If the box ever fails, you're covered. It would have been nice to hear the out-door distance test without the Noise Reduction switched on. To be honest, except in 'live' situations, it's probably best to leave NR off during recording and then deal with it manually in Post. A "Non NR" walk test may give a better indication of the system's true performance. But hey - nice review none the less. I learned a lot from your presentation ... Thanks! (I'm *tempted* but still weighing up other systems as well - though the price on this is very favorable). *UPDATE - I ended up buying this unit*
Hey! Thanks for the detailed feedback. In hindsight, you're right, I should have done a non-NR outdoor walking test - even though the first 10-20 seconds of my outdoor sound test was with NR off, I should have done it with more scenarios. And you're right, I also prefer doing post-editing audio fixes with NR off, because with NR on, the algorithm sometimes doesn't capture the audio naturally. But overall I'm still very happy with this.
Greetings .... Based on your review, I went ahead and purchsed this M1 kit. I had considered the *Rode Wreless 2, *Saramonic Blink 500 Pro, *Boya BY-XM6 S2, *HollylandLark 150. They all have their pros and cons. In the end, (after 2 weeks of deliberating), I went with "Small", "Simple", "Fast" - The Lark M1. And although I have a lot of respect for the Rode brand and it's amazing innovations, I get a little intimidated with all the 'Sofware' approach in the latest Rode microphones. I see the HollyLand Lark M1 as a refreshing way to go ...... The only thing I need to work out now, is how to get true "split audio" into an iPhone. The Hollyland M1 I purchased (on Amazon) comes (I think) with NO cable accessory for direct connection between the Lark M1 and the iPhone's lightning port (although yes, they come with all the other "trs" / "trrs" type cables). I've seen other sites advertising the M1 as coming WITH a "TRS to Lightning cable" inluded with the bundle (for more money of course). All I'm trying to achieve is "split" audio. ie: talent no.#1 recorded to left channel and talent no.#2 recorded to right channel. I'd really like to know how to achieve this? - SO please advise where the cable can be purchased ???? *(Edit Update: The accessory cable in question may not pass a true "split" signal to your iPhone recording app. A converter cable ie: a "TRS analogue to Lightning Digital" should do the trick)* .
@@michaelallen6946 @michaelallen6946 Yep, each transmitter is a "single" channel. So stereo is achieved by using both transmitters on the same person. But with a 2 person interview, one transmitter is used on each person - sending 2 x mono channels to the receiver.
For everyone asking, the official Hollyland USB-C to TRS cable, and a 3rd Party Lightning to TRS Cable, as an optional extra can be purchased from here: USB-C to TRS Cable: geni.us/se2K (Hollyland official) Lightning to TRS Cable: geni.us/TvhbqZ7 (Not official, since Hollyland are not currently selling this)
I think high would sound better at home because when you went from shotgun to the medium mono the volume sounded reduced. I like the sound when you had it set to high
How to use it with mobile gimbals like OM5? Unlike DJI mic where receiver can be directly attached to phone it as a long wire will will keep receiver hanging while phone will be on gimbal. Any suggestions?
What audio settings did you have on your camera? Hollyland says to have it max on the mic and low on camera snd it's still too low for me. I'll have to experiment more but what did you do?
Hello, very nice explanations. But there's one thing I don't understand. I have the same system and also the 3.5mm to USB-C cable from Hollyland. However, I can do whatever I want, I always hear the sound (whether with the action cam or on the PC) from both speakers at the same time. So it's not the case that when you use both transmitters, the sound can only be heard on the left and the right. What could be the reason?
Can you check to see if you have Mono or Stereo mode enabled on the RX? That might be the issue. Its the difference between the blue and green light being on.
@@TrendingReviews Unfortunately it has nothing to do with that, it doesn't matter which mode I set, the sound always comes from both speakers. I'll probably try a different cable. Thank you 👍
Thanks for the review. I had bought a cheapie set up that the receiver connects directly to my Android USB C Port and worked great for the last month, but at times was getting an echo recording and basically messed up all my video clips. Looking now for a better quality set up. How does this Hollyland receiver connect to my Android Phone?
Lark 150 is something I have reviewed on my channel before as well. It has many more features, a digital display, lapel mics included, gain control knobs and headphone monitoring.
@@neparutv I've been trying to find a convenient way to use this on a gimbal, but I just dont think its made for Gimbal usage. I'm still exploring ideas, so if I find one, I'll make a review video on it too.
That was a fantastic review, so thank you. I've had this microphone set for about 4 months now and used it for 6 videos but perhaps you can help me out here - why, if I'm filming a tutorial clip that involves a piece of machinery (specific a machine that operates at high speed, for example a food mixer or a sewing machine) does it sound normal when the machines first start up, but within a few seconds they sound like robots and almost fade out? I'm not talking in the clips at this point and there is no other sound in the room. I've tried this with the NR on and off both at default volume and it's exactly the same....
Thank you! I do think it's strange that the audio is doing that, because I was going to suggest about NR mode being on, which would make sense why it's doing that, but if you've tested it with it off, then definitely shouldn't be robotic after a bit. I'm not quite sure why or how unfortunately, sorry! Maybe you could email their support team?
@@TrendingReviews I did email them yesterday funnily enough - they replied this morning and suggested that I did the voice recording with the Hollyland mic but when it comes to using the machinery I should switch to using my mobile phone for the microphone (even though I'm using a webcam) and when the machinery has finished I should switch back to using the Hollyland mic....!!!!!!!
Thats such a weird suggestion!! haha The only thing in that situation then, is if you record the video simultaneously with your webcam and your phone. And have the Hollyland Mics connected as you are now, but when it comes to editing the video, you can easily use the audio that makes your machines sound more natural, and then cut it with the overlay of the other audio track where you speak into the Mic. I know its a pain, but if its going to be such bad audio when using the machines, it might be the only way.
@@TrendingReviews Or another thought would it be because I have the receiver plugged into the laptop and the sound card is rubbish? I'm recording them using a webcam and the webcam doesn't have an external mic jack
If you were to choose a MIC to have the best sound quality in outdoor environments, would you go for the Vimo C or Lark M1 or Blink500 B6? Nice Video !!!
Hi - there isn't unfortunately. Thats one of the downsides for me too - but as long as you can see there is plenty of charge in the case with the LED lights on the front, and you haven't used it for more than half a day, then you should be comfortable knowing there is about 8 hours of battery fully charged in each TX and the RX
@@TrendingReviews ahh yeah make sense. Thanks a lot sir. Been thinking to purchase this, rode wireless go 2 or the synco g2 a2 and it’s gonna be my first time having this kind of microphone😁 what do you think is the best choice of the 3?
You're welcome! I haven't tried the other 2, and I've heard some poor reviews about the Rode Wireless Go 2, which was one of the reasons I didn't get a set to review. I've been a fan of Hollyland products for a while and the audio is so good, that I tend to use this for a lot of my filming now!
Thank you for a fantastic review. I just purchase one kit and I am wondering. Can I purchase a second set to use at the same time? Will they interfere with each other?
Hi, thank you! When you say "at the same time", do you mean if it's possible to connect 2 more transmitters to the same existing receiver? I'm not 100% sure if that would work but before you buy a 2nd set, might be worth dropping Hollyland a support message to see if it's possible.
Loved the video and the information. You did such a solid job presenting it directly and it's something I definitely appreciate! I was wondering if this has held up with time? Considering getting it and with the video being a year old I thought maybe you'll have some long term thoughts on it as well! Thanks again for the video!
Thank you! Yes I would definitely recommend still till this day. I've always been a fan of the Hollyland brand and it's what gives me confidence about their Mics being last-longing and great sounding pieces of tech. I still use this with my Sony as it's such a quick and easy setup with great audio output.
Thank you! I thought about that too, but I dont think there is. What I do, is just press the volume up a couple of times to know its on Max, then press it down once to go to Medium.
These look amazing to me but they don't have on board recording AGAIN, without on-board recording I would not consider a product like this, the backup on board recording is just so important in the event that the transmitter loses connection to the receiver even temporarily, I don't know why Hollyland won't put this into their products as it would be a game changer for them.
I've reviewed a few mics that have on-board recording via SD card too, which is definitely a very useful feature. Maybe one day Hollyland will introduce this!
Hello! On-board recording requires purchasing a specific patent, which will raise the price of this specific product :) we will keep this market need in mind for our future products! you can count on us !
On board recording would necessitate a price increase of at least $100. Then you'd be complaining about the high cost of the M1. If you watch the review by Engearment comparing the DJI Mic, the Rode Wireless Go 2 and the Hollyland and listen carefully to the sound comparisons of each, you'll see that the Hollyland sounds almost exactly like the DJI, albeit at a lower volume, and significantly better than the Rode that sounds muffled by comparison. I personaly feel that for the price and qualities of the Hollyland it's a hard act to follow... especially at half the cost of the competition. And the Rode doesn't have a charging case, as does the DJI.
@@lawrencebeck4777 Maybe so, but if the recording gets interupted, your audio is gone or damaged... there is no substitute for the backup of onboard recording.. and just for the record i would never complain about the cost of quality hardware. I just spent 14K on a mac Studio... its not about the cost for me, its about the functionality!
HI. Great review. Bought it base don your review. One urgent question. Where di you get the The Hollyland Lightning to TRS and USB-C to TRS Patch cables that you bought separately . you showed the boxes too at the start. U ant seem to find them anywhere. Do let know. Thanks
Hi - thank you for your feedback, and glad my video helped you decide to buy the mics! In fact, those 2 additional patch cables were sent to me, along with the Lark M1, by Hollyland directly, in order to do the review for them. I think they will be added to their Hollyland Store soon, even though they might not be available just yet. In the meantime, I'd recommend using the TRS to TRRS cable that comes in the main box, and use it with an adapter for your phone.
@Trending Reviews Hi. Thanks for your reply. Possible for me to get introduced to the PR team that sent this to your for a review. I host some of the biggest Tech shows on TV and online in India. Would help if I could get a contact number for their PR. I've direct messaged you on Instagram. Would appreciate if you could let me have contact details there. Thanks.
Thanks for the great review/video! What would you think about using this setup for recording 'sleep talk'? I have an old voice recorder, but it gets lost under blankets, and doesn't have any sort of noise cancelling. I'm thinking I could use 2 mics, one clipped to each side of my pillowcase, so that when I turn (I am a side-sleeper), I will still get audio. How strong is the clip on these mics? Would it stay in place on my pillow while I sleep? I use a Samsung Galaxy A51 Android 12 phone, so I would need the adapter. There are several apps available in the Play store that will record only when there is sound, so perhaps one of those apps would work. I might also use the mic with my Windows 10 PC to record audio to Reaper DAW. I'm not sure whether USB or 3.5mm jack is the best way to record to a PC. I also play a nature soundtrack while I sleep, so I don't know whether the noise cancelling would work for this sound or not.
If anyone coming from 2023 dont search for more video. This is the only and perfect video. All other youtube recommend videos are not perfect.
Thank you so much!

Do we need to buy 3.5 mm to type c cable separately?
Good video but why is there a fuzzy sounds the entire time?

Lark 150 is something I have reviewed on my channel before as well. It has many more features, a digital display, lapel mics included, gain control knobs and headphone monitoring.
can I use this as shoutgun mic with with rx and tx both mounted to camera at same time? will there be feedback?
How does it sound connected to a Mac Pro or PC?
The audio is clear but it seems like your voice goes back and forth between quiet and normal when you have noise cancelation on when you were outside.
Is it possible to take the label of?
Does the M1 work on the one plus 10 and above?

Not with this one unfortunately. But thank you!
Is this better than the Fulaim?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks for the good content!
Guys I’ve connected and tried but it’s not working ,the audio is from the phone mic only ,can someone help out ?
Which phone do you have? Are you using the default camera app?
@@TrendingReviews Samsung s23 ultra and iPhone 14 and yes I’m using the default camera app to test it out
@@TrendingReviews can you please help me out
Could I use this for phone calls?
That was a fantastic review, so thank you. I've had this microphone set for about 4 months now and used it for 6 videos but perhaps you can help me out here - why, if I'm filming a tutorial clip that involves a piece of machinery (specific a machine that operates at high speed, for example a food mixer or a sewing machine) does it sound normal when the machines first start up, but within a few seconds they sound like robots and almost fade out? I'm not talking in the clips at this point and there is no other sound in the room. I've tried this with the NR on and off both at default volume and it's exactly the same....
Thank you! I do think it's strange that the audio is doing that, because I was going to suggest about NR mode being on, which would make sense why it's doing that, but if you've tested it with it off, then definitely shouldn't be robotic after a bit. I'm not quite sure why or how unfortunately, sorry! Maybe you could email their support team?
@@TrendingReviews I did email them yesterday funnily enough - they replied this morning and suggested that I did the voice recording with the Hollyland mic but when it comes to using the machinery I should switch to using my mobile phone for the microphone (even though I'm using a webcam) and when the machinery has finished I should switch back to using the Hollyland mic....!!!!!!!
Thats such a weird suggestion!! haha
The only thing in that situation then, is if you record the video simultaneously with your webcam and your phone. And have the Hollyland Mics connected as you are now, but when it comes to editing the video, you can easily use the audio that makes your machines sound more natural, and then cut it with the overlay of the other audio track where you speak into the Mic. I know its a pain, but if its going to be such bad audio when using the machines, it might be the only way.
@@TrendingReviews Or another thought would it be because I have the receiver plugged into the laptop and the sound card is rubbish? I'm recording them using a webcam and the webcam doesn't have an external mic jack
Can we connect it to laptop? How?
Would be nice if the RX could send the audio over USB-C to a PC.
So doesn't remove the background noise 100%, but still helpful, and has to be taken into the sound editor program.
If you were to choose a MIC to have the best sound quality in outdoor environments, would you go for the Vimo C or Lark M1 or Blink500 B6?
Nice Video !!!
Why does the volume so low?
What Apple Watch band are you wearing
Hello. Is there a way to know the battery life of the transmitter or receiver?
Hi - there isn't unfortunately. Thats one of the downsides for me too - but as long as you can see there is plenty of charge in the case with the LED lights on the front, and you haven't used it for more than half a day, then you should be comfortable knowing there is about 8 hours of battery fully charged in each TX and the RX
@@TrendingReviews ahh yeah make sense. Thanks a lot sir. Been thinking to purchase this, rode wireless go 2 or the synco g2 a2 and it’s gonna be my first time having this kind of microphone😁 what do you think is the best choice of the 3?
You're welcome! I haven't tried the other 2, and I've heard some poor reviews about the Rode Wireless Go 2, which was one of the reasons I didn't get a set to review. I've been a fan of Hollyland products for a while and the audio is so good, that I tend to use this for a lot of my filming now!
@@TrendingReviews cool. Thank you sir
Thank you for a fantastic review. I just purchase one kit and I am wondering. Can I purchase a second set to use at the same time? Will they interfere with each other?
Hi, thank you! When you say "at the same time", do you mean if it's possible to connect 2 more transmitters to the same existing receiver? I'm not 100% sure if that would work but before you buy a 2nd set, might be worth dropping Hollyland a support message to see if it's possible.
Loved the video and the information. You did such a solid job presenting it directly and it's something I definitely appreciate! I was wondering if this has held up with time? Considering getting it and with the video being a year old I thought maybe you'll have some long term thoughts on it as well! Thanks again for the video!
Thank you! Yes I would definitely recommend still till this day. I've always been a fan of the Hollyland brand and it's what gives me confidence about their Mics being last-longing and great sounding pieces of tech. I still use this with my Sony as it's such a quick and easy setup with great audio output.
@@TrendingReviews Appreciate the quick response!
Great review. Thank you. Is there any way to tell which volume level has been selected?
Thank you! I thought about that too, but I dont think there is. What I do, is just press the volume up a couple of times to know its on Max, then press it down once to go to Medium.
@@TrendingReviews Ah yes, that's great way to set the volume. Thanks!
Can lavalier or headset mic be used with this,?
Unfortunately not - its just these on their own.
@@TrendingReviews Thanks
I'll have to say top review just because you used the fan to show us noise reduction... No joke thank u
Hi Thanks for Video. Did u check Sound quality c1 vs M1? Which better?
They are identical, just the C1 is specifically for iPhones with the lightning connector.
These look amazing to me but they don't have on board recording AGAIN, without on-board recording I would not consider a product like this, the backup on board recording is just so important in the event that the transmitter loses connection to the receiver even temporarily, I don't know why Hollyland won't put this into their products as it would be a game changer for them.
I've reviewed a few mics that have on-board recording via SD card too, which is definitely a very useful feature. Maybe one day Hollyland will introduce this!
Hello! On-board recording requires purchasing a specific patent, which will raise the price of this specific product :) we will keep this market need in mind for our future products! you can count on us !
@@hollylandtech we have a UA-cam channel for urbex. We would love to trial this microphone for our type of filming if you would be interested.
On board recording would necessitate a price increase of at least $100. Then you'd be complaining about the high cost of the M1. If you watch the review by Engearment comparing the DJI Mic, the Rode Wireless Go 2 and the Hollyland and listen carefully to the sound comparisons of each, you'll see that the Hollyland sounds almost exactly like the DJI, albeit at a lower volume, and significantly better than the Rode that sounds muffled by comparison. I personaly feel that for the price and qualities of the Hollyland it's a hard act to follow... especially at half the cost of the competition. And the Rode doesn't have a charging case, as does the DJI.
@@lawrencebeck4777 Maybe so, but if the recording gets interupted, your audio is gone or damaged... there is no substitute for the backup of onboard recording.. and just for the record i would never complain about the cost of quality hardware. I just spent 14K on a mac Studio... its not about the cost for me, its about the functionality!
HI. Great review. Bought it base don your review. One urgent question. Where di you get the The Hollyland Lightning to TRS and USB-C to TRS Patch cables that you bought separately . you showed the boxes too at the start. U ant seem to find them anywhere. Do let know. Thanks
Hi - thank you for your feedback, and glad my video helped you decide to buy the mics!
In fact, those 2 additional patch cables were sent to me, along with the Lark M1, by Hollyland directly, in order to do the review for them. I think they will be added to their Hollyland Store soon, even though they might not be available just yet. In the meantime, I'd recommend using the TRS to TRRS cable that comes in the main box, and use it with an adapter for your phone.
@Trending Reviews Hi. Thanks for your reply. Possible for me to get introduced to the PR team that sent this to your for a review. I host some of the biggest Tech shows on TV and online in India. Would help if I could get a contact number for their PR. I've direct messaged you on Instagram. Would appreciate if you could let me have contact details there. Thanks.
Thanks for the great review/video!
What would you think about using this setup for recording 'sleep talk'?
I have an old voice recorder, but it gets lost under blankets, and doesn't have any sort of noise cancelling.
I'm thinking I could use 2 mics, one clipped to each side of my pillowcase, so that when I turn (I am a side-sleeper), I will still get audio.
How strong is the clip on these mics? Would it stay in place on my pillow while I sleep?
I use a Samsung Galaxy A51 Android 12 phone, so I would need the adapter.
There are several apps available in the Play store that will record only when there is sound, so perhaps one of those apps would work.
I might also use the mic with my Windows 10 PC to record audio to Reaper DAW. I'm not sure whether USB or 3.5mm jack is the best way to record to a PC.
I also play a nature soundtrack while I sleep, so I don't know whether the noise cancelling would work for this sound or not.
Thanks for the tutorial, I don’t know how to change from mono to stereo for month. 😭😭😭
great video thank you
Great video
