I’ve been testing the brand-new DJI Mic Mini 2 for three weeks — and it’s the best budget mic for content creators

The DJI Mic Mini 2 is, without a doubt, the best microphone for content creators on a budget. Building from the Mic Mini’s already impressive roster of specs, the Mic Mini 2 now has vocal tones — à la Shure — swappable colorful body plates, and the RX now has backwards compatibility, meaning you can connect older DJI TXs. It’s just not compatible with 2022’s DJI Mic.

Of course, you still get pro-level sound quality, with clarity across plosive and sibilant words, and a rich, warm profile (which you can make even warmer with the “Rich” vocal tone). On top of being pro-quality at a decidedly budget price, the Mic Mini 2 comes with either a smartphone USB-C RX or the traditional camera RX.
