# RODE Wireless PRO: specs and price

**Price (US):** Not published (No valid US MSRP appears verbatim on either cited page. The RODE manufacturer product page lists no price, and the Thomann listing shows a euro-derived "$ 229" that does not represent US retail. The actual typical US price is US$299 (RODE reduced it from $399 in September 2025 per trade-press coverage, matching B&H/Amazon/Best Buy/Sweetwater), but $299 is not present verbatim on the cited source or corroboration pages, so priceUsd is left null rather than publish a misleading figure.), as of 2026-07-11.

## What reviewers say

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. (Based on 2 reviews, 2 lab-tested, 2024-02-22–2024-07-05.)

Praised: Excellent audio quality, especially in studio settings; Pro safety features: 32-bit float, safety track and 32GB onboard recording; Strong measured battery life (7h26m per transmitter).
Flagged: Struggles outdoors with wind noise and has no noise-canceling mode; Small screen, frustrating onboard controls and cumbersome companion app; Expensive and transmitters are bulky / not discreet.
Disagreement: Little direct conflict: both rate studio audio excellent and agree it trails the DJI Mic 2 outdoors in wind (no noise cancelling). They differ mainly in emphasis - Tom's Guide dwells on the fiddly onboard controls, tiny screen and mandatory desktop app, while SoundGuys treats the screen more neutrally and instead flags the high price and bulky, non-discreet transmitters.
