Lark A1 Combo(2TX+2RX+Charging Case) Wireless Magnetic Microphone

I have a YouTube channel with about 100,000 subscribers and I found myself without my normal equipment one day, so I bought this system to go with my iPhone camera in a pinch. And I have to say I've been very impressed at both the sound quality and convenience this provides vs. my normal setup (a wired mic going into a portable recorder that I then sync up to the video separately in DaVinci Resolve). The sound quality is more than acceptable and, while maybe not pro-level, is easily adequate for long-form YouTube videos. And it's really just a plug and play system; plug the receiver into the phone, snap the mic to your shirt via the magnet, and it just records via either the regular phone camera or Blackmagic. I also appreciate that the USB-C receiver works just as well with my Windows laptop, so I can easily record inserts or voice-overs while editing. And it's just ridiculously easy without any wires to deal with. I think this system would serve any beginner working on making longer form videos just fine for a pretty long time. It is a huge upgrade over any built-in phone or laptop microphone, and sound is honestly the most important technical aspect of any video. People will watch your videos as long as they have decent sound. Bad sound is the quickest way to get someone to switch off. One big caveat is to make sure you know what you actually need. I initially bought the "duo" system with USB-C only (I'm not sure why I did that; I have an iPhone 14 Pro). I ended up returning it for the "combo" system that has both Lightning and USB-C receivers, as well as the charging case that adds another level of convenience. Of course, that package is more expensive. But if you opt for one of the versions with only one receiver, just make sure it's the correct one for the device you plan to use with it. And to go along with that, also think about whether you're eventually going to want a system that works with a real camera, because this won't. It's strictly for phones and laptops. There are wireless mic systems out there that will work with real cameras, but they generally cost more. I personally just wanted kind of a temporary stopgap to use with the camera I had on hand, which was my iPhone. The laptop connectivity with the USB-C receiver was a bonus. And for what it does, I think this mic system is a bargain. Just make sure it can actually do all you want it to do before jumping it.

Outstanding mics for the price just make sure you take your time setting everything up. For one, make sure you check the mics and remove the blue plastic on top of the metal charging squares. Do this by rubbing it softly with your fingernail. Afterwards, place the mics back in the charging box and see if the red or green light is on. The light will let you know the connections are solid. Charge the mics inside box by using the white cable and power source. Light outside box will turn green but make sure everything inside is fully charged. Second, do not update the firmware right away. Both mics and possibly both receivers need to be on and connected . I have not updated mine yet because everything works fine without the update. I saw a message saying updating the firmware without the devices being synced or connected may cause miscommunication between devices. So heads up…. Third, close all of the unnecessary apps, links, etc. Hollyland and camera app is all you need. After opening the box, scan small square with your camera to download correct app. The comments in Apple App Store are terrible mostly because most didn’t read my review. lol. Mainly complaining about connectivity probably because they downloaded firmware update way too early! Practice using the mono and stereo modes…..noise cancellation modes also. The app makes everything easy. You can see remaining battery life, volume control, and other options. The size of this is perfect in my opinion. Versatility….working progress. You can mute sound, start and stop video by clicking so many times. Truthfully, it’s hit or miss sometimes but for the price and sound clarity….,hard to beat. I’m using a IPhone 13 and have not had any issues so far…..one week in with my fingers crossed!

Buy the mics! I’m not a person that ever leaves reviews, but the Hollyland Lark A1 brought me out of my shell to say something. I just received the mics today and was excited to test them out. At first look out of the box they are ADORABLE! Super tiny and lightweight. I also love that Hollyland included a little drawstring bag to hold the cord and little wind furry things in. I popped these adorable little gems into my iPhone 15 Pro Max and became even more impressed. The setup is super simple (you have to download the Hollyland app). Once I plugged them in and started recording video I am actually stunned at how well they sound. I purposely turned on loud noises in the background (inside my bedroom) such as my fan and white noise. I turned on the medium noise cancellation and I couldn’t hear the background sounds at all. The best part is my voice/audio sounded clean and crisp and not like I was in a box (like some other brand mics do with NC). The quality of the mics feels very premium. The size of the charging case and accessories is super portable. Easily fits in my bag for daily carry. I’m just blown away at how great and simply the Hollyland Lark A1s work. Let’s recap from the beginning… BUY THE MICS!

There are a lot of models trying to do what these cordless mics actually DO. In my opinion, the Hollyland is the best designed and the best built. I first saw them demonstrated at the broadcasters convention in Las Vegas in 2025. I liked them right away, but could not buy at the time. Seeing them offered on Amazon was a stroke of luck! These are not toys. Professionals use them and rely upon them. I am one of them. I have already used them in a TV production at a July 4th parade broadcast and the sound is superb! Crisp and clear! The magnets are super strong and hold the mic in place even on moving subjects. The software allows both mics to be used as a stereo pair OR as two mono mics when two people are speaking. I love the windscreens, the charging dock within the carrying case and the fact that the software allows you to quickly export the files to a laptop for use in a live production via a simple USB cable, unlike a previous software I bought which was an app that required me to send the video clip to a cloud and then retrieve. Hollyland does it with a simple cable. I could go on....but I'll stop here. LOVE IT!!

This little microphone has been doing a great job. I doubt that you will find a better one in this price range that does what it does for so little money. It automatically installs the microphone in pretty much any position you may need it for whatever you are using it for. At this price point you will not be able to find a better option than this one.

I create content with my iPhone, and this microphone has been one of the best upgrades I’ve made. Setup was literally plug-and-play, and the audio quality is a huge improvement over the phone’s built-in microphone. Voices sound clear and natural, even when recording outdoors. The noise cancellation does a great job reducing background sounds without making my voice sound robotic. I also like how lightweight the transmitters are—they’re comfortable to wear and don’t pull on your shirt. The charging case keeps everything organized and provides plenty of battery life for long recording sessions. (Hollyland Store) For anyone creating videos for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or interviews, this microphone offers excellent value. It performs well, is easy to use, and delivers professional-sounding audio without spending hundreds of dollars.

These are the best value mics I’ve ever bought. The noise cancellation is amazing and the quality of the sound is similar to much more expensive mics. I like the magnets! They are super strong. Also includes multiple adapters for different phones.

just perfect. perfect size and the audio is very clear. The best price and best investment.

Es buen producto. La batería dura años. Me di cuenta que se escucha mejor si el micrófono lo uso en mi mano cerca de la boca, en vez de ponerlo en mi ropa, porque en la ropa se escucha un poco lejos y agarra ruido de la tela o movimientos que hagas. Pero se resuelve teniéndolo en la mano como un microfono normal o poniendolo en la ropa pero más cerca de la boca y sin moverse tanto. Para calidad profesional* recomiendo comprarse un micrófono de estudio. Esto es más para contenido, entrevistas, youtube, etc. y funciona muy bien.

Pros It worked well with the recording app. Cons It looked like kind of returned item, opened and already assembled. It didn’t meet my expectations. I intended to use it with video calls (eg. Whatsapp) and translation apps, but they are not compatible. I use an iPhone 13.

Works great, good quality of the sound , easy to use , easy to connect with your phone, highly recommend

Very nice

Super bonne qualité de son et facile à utiliser (plug and play)
