Back in April 2024, I reviewed the Boyamic, a wireless mic kit that enabled you to clip a plastic-brick-style mic onto your shirt and transmit your voice wirelessly to a receiver plugged into your camera or smartphone. The original Boyamic also had a noise cancellation feature to reduce distracting sounds such as passing traffic. In May 2025, Boya released an updated version of their pro-targeted mic - the sensibly named Boyamic 2! I was pleased to get hold of a review unit to test prior to the kit’s launch. I was especially interested to see how the Boyamic 2 compared with the Boyamic, especially as I gave the original four stars for its excellent performance.
At the same time as the Boyamic 2’s 2025 release, Boya released the Boyalink 3 - another wireless mic kit. What’s the difference between the two? Well, the Boyamic 2 is Boya’s flagship mic kit and is aimed at the needs of professional sound recordists. The cheaper Boyalink 3 is an entry-level wireless mic kit that lacks some of the advanced features of the Boyamic 2, such as onboard recording.
