Wireless microphones like the Rode Wireless Go have become a hot ticket item in the last few years. Tiny mic reels, TikToks, and on-the-go pieces to camera are seen everywhere online right now, so as you can imagine, the market for them has inflated into a bit of a bubble. Rode’s Wireless Go microphones have been there since the beginning, spanning a few different iterations up until now, when we have the Gen 3, and its Pro bundle counterpart.
But how do these things compete against the likes of the best microphones for streaming and gaming? Are these tiny wireless solutions something that content creators in the gaming space should invest in when there are already so many moving parts to a streaming setup? Usually, I’d say the answer is no. Certainly, in years gone by, the mic quality just hasn’t really lived up to a mainstay XLR or USB alternative, but the Wireless Go Gen 3’s sound quality would give the very best of them a run for their money.
