The DJI Mic Mini earned top marks as the leading compact wireless microphone upon its 2024 launch, and the new Mic Mini 2 builds on that success. Both deliver exceptional performance for content creators seeking lightweight, affordable audio solutions on the move, with clear 24-bit sound, two-stage noise cancellation, 400m transmission range, solid battery life, and an 11g weight.
Key Design Changes
Both models remain ultra-compact and discreet. The Mic Mini 2 introduces magnetic covers in various colors, including limited editions, allowing users to match their outfit or style. Select bundles include these covers, with extras available separately. Style-focused creators may find this appealing, though the standard black and white options suffice for most.
New Voice Tone Presets
The Mic Mini 2 adds three presets—regular, rich, and bright—to tailor audio to different environments. Testing reveals minimal audible differences, making this a subtle enhancement rather than a compelling upgrade reason.
Pricing and Bundle Options
The original 2 TX + 1 RX + Charging Case bundle launched at $169 / £145 / AU$245. The Mic Mini 2 equivalent now costs £89 / AU$149, reflecting heightened market competition. A new solo creator bundle—1 TX, mobile receiver, and charging case—sells for £49 / AU$89. This USB-C receiver fits phones seamlessly, unlike the bulkier standard version suited for cameras.
Solo mics are unavailable for the Mini 2 yet. The original full kit has dropped to around £65 / AU$124, undercutting the newer model despite lacking covers.
Mic Mini 2S on the Horizon
DJI announces the Mic Mini 2S for later this year, adding internal recording and support for four mics per receiver—features absent in current versions. Details remain limited, but these upgrades position it as a stronger option for future buyers.
