It was only a few years ago that DJI debuted its first wireless microphone, but now the company's mics are seen as the standard-bearers. The latest DJI Mic 3 (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is a square-shaped mic with a fuzzy windscreen that you've probably seen in the hands (or shirt) of your favorite vlogger. WIRED contributor Sam Kieldsen said it took “about five seconds” to understand why the Mic 3 was an upgrade over the Mic 2. Although the audio improvements are subtle, the Mic 3 comes with a handful of new features, including upgraded storage capacity from 8 GB to 32 GB, two levels of active noise canceling to cut out the background noise, and support for timecode, allowing you to keep four transmitters and eight receivers in time.

What's nice about DJI's system is that you can pick and choose what you want. If you're only recording yourself talking, you don't need two transmitters; just get the basic package with the receiver and transmitter. Or you can get the two-transmitter and one receiver combo. You can add more transmitters down the road.

You can also save some cash and buy the equally excellent DJI Mic Mini. They're a little more discreet, still feature active noise canceling and great microphone quality, and there's a lovely case that doubles as a backup battery to charge everything on the go. It's much cheaper, too.
