## What reviewers say

**RODE Wireless PRO** — Two whitelisted testers (Tom's Guide, SoundGuys) hands-on reviewed the RODE Wireless PRO and both call its audio excellent, praising the 32-bit float, safety-track and 32GB onboard recording. Tom's Guide accidentally left a transmitter running and measured 7h26m of continuous recording to depletion, matching Rode's 7-hour rating. Both note it has no noise-canceling mode and struggles outdoors in wind versus the DJI Mic 2; Tom's Guide also criticises the tiny screen, fiddly controls and mandatory companion app, while SoundGuys flags the high price and bulky, non-discreet transmitters. (2 sourced reviews.)

**Hollyland Lark M2** — Only one whitelisted source (Tom's Hardware) published genuine hands-on impressions of the exact Hollyland Lark M2. The editor personally bought and uses the mic, calling the audio 'clear and punchy' and praising easy driver-free use across many devices. This is a deals-post usage impression, not a lab review; no measurements exist. (1 sourced review.)
