    UPDATED: A good audio companion for creating on the go
    UPDATE: Anker was kind enough to reach out to assist with my sound quality and audio issues. After troubleshooting a few different things, I found that Anker's suggestion of recording directly to one of the transmitter mics (which each has a 7-hour record limit 🤯) made the audio quality sound MUCH better than connecting directly to my iPhone. Apparently iPhones automatically increase the gain with no ability to adjust 👎.When I recorded from the transmitter and uploaded it to my Mac to edit, the quality was what I was hoping for; warm, de-noised, and much clearer to listen to. Though it's not a perfect setup, Anker's assistance in sourcing the issue and helping fix it made me decide to stick with this setup in my bag when I'm on the go. Thanks Anker!_____ I'm a big fan of Anker products, and I was excited for this product to release. Unfortunately the mic and audio quality just isn’t worth the $200-$250 price tag. The mics feel too lightweight and plastic-y, which would be fine if the audio quality was decent. That, however, is not the case. I create UGC and social ads with voiceovers, and recording my voiceover directly with my iPhone’s mic to the voice memo’s app sounded more clear and crisp than recording with the Anker wireless mics.I tried with and without its noise-canceling feature and there was still so much white noise behind my audio, it was useless. I have a cheaper Saramonic wireless lav mic that sounds leaps and bounds better.The receiver is nice for it’s easy to read display, but plugging it into my iPhone didn’t feel secure, and attaching it stops me from being able to mount my phone on a tripod when shooting vertical as it’s the receiver gets in the way.I was hoping for a quick and easy solution to record higher quality audio on the go, but this set up just didn’t do the trick.

      I recently tried the AnkerWork M650 Wireless Lavalier Microphone, and it has exceeded my expectations in several key areas. The pro noise cancellation is outstanding, delivering clear audio even in environments with considerable background noise. This feature alone makes it ideal for vlogging outdoors or in busy settings. The two-channel quality pickup is another highlight, allowing you to record multiple audio sources seamlessly, which is perfect for interviews or dual setups.

      The microphone’s 200m transmission range is impressive and ensures stable audio capture even when shooting at a distance. The 15-hour battery life is another major plus for long recording sessions, meaning I don’t have to worry about constantly recharging it. The colorful, swappable covers are a fun, unique touch that lets you personalize the device to match your aesthetic or surroundings.

      One of the best features is its user-friendly design—setup is simple, and it integrates smoothly with various devices. However, I would note that it’s not designed for conference use, which may limit its versatility for some users.

      Overall, the AnkerWork M650 is an excellent choice for vloggers or content creators looking for a wireless lavalier microphone with advanced features, exceptional sound quality, and reliable performance. It’s worth the investment for those focused on high-quality audio production.

      I’ve had these less than 1 month. The primary use is for streaming my daughter’s hockey games live where I’m running the camera and 2 other dads have Microphones calling the game. These things are awesome whether I’m using my iPhone or iPad. Sound quality is good and the noise cancelling feature allows us to block out a lot of the background noise in the arena.

      I’ve had probably 10 people come and check out our setup from other teams and these Microphones are definitely a reason people stop and ask what we’re doing.

      this is a little great mic.
      Pros:
      - super easy to set up and use. the receiver controls everything, the screen is bright and the touch screen flawless.
      - magnetic clip is genius and powerful
      - the round design of the transmitters is much better than the squared competitors (not a big fun of the big brand on display but nothing some gaffer tape cannot fix)
      - audio quality is neat. if you are like me (a “content creator”) it’s all you need for a decent amount of money

      Cons:
      - the transmitters are actually heavy. if your subject has a thin piece of clothing you are in trouble, they will dangle
      - the charging case is waaay bigger than the competitors. personally is not that ideal but not a deal breaker
      - the on/off mute button on the side is too easy to accidentally click (and then mute yourself) I know you can use the app to deactivate that function but I do prefer not to install additional apps

      also: customer service has been great! We actually ordered an additional set that unfortunately is not working. the guys did everything they could but when tech doesn’t function, there’s not much you can do, so we will have to return it.

      To start, I shoot everything with a Sony Mirrorless camera. This coming with a TRS was a solid plus for me. I think mics ultimately come down to three main things when comparing. Sounds quality, build quality, and user interface. So I’ll breakdown those three in comparison to the two other big contenders.

      Sound Quality: I think the sound quality was fine. With the internal mic, it’s not the best out there, but also not the worst. In comparison to the DJI and Rode I would say it’s on par, maybe a bit more tinny but the sound quality isn’t too noticeable unless you do a side-by-side comparison. The noise canceling ‘works’ but is a little gimmicky. I think it’s best for emergency situations or on the go iPhone vlogging if you really need to hear the subject. 90% of the time I use a Purple Panda lav mic to hide the big mic on the shirt, and going that route, all three sound the same, and generally background noise isn’t an issue either.

      Build Quality: The build quality feels cheaper than that of the more bulky DJI, but it wasn’t to the point that I was worried about it breaking. The magnet on the clips of the transmitters is strong enough to where I would feel confident about putting it on somebody’s shirt or even something thicker like a suit, and know that it would stay on the subject. The charging case works well to protect everything, I’m confident that thing could take a beating if the opportunity came up. It’s Anker so nothing I would say feels ‘cheap.’

      User Interface: Okay, this is where this device shines. It comes with a charging case that has both a USB-C and Lightning connector so you can always record to something with a full battery no matter where you are. So that right there is a big advantage over the Rode. The touchscreen interface is also much nicer than that of the DJI. Again, I shoot on a mirrorless so for me it’s as simple as plug and play. The best user interface you can get.

      So overall, decent sound quality (best used with a lavalier), good build quality, especially on the case, and the best user interface you can get makes this a better choice than the Rode for sure, and the DJI for the price.

      Reviewed in Germany on November 4, 2024
      Color: BlackVerified Purchase
      Der Empfänger der AnkerWork M650 Stereo-Funkmikrofone hat drei Anschlüsse:
      - TRS für Kameras
      - Lightning für ältere iPhones und iPads
      - USB-C für neue iPhones und iPads, für Android-Smartphones, MacBooks und PCs

      Die Installation ist sehr einfach: Kasten aufklappen, die drei Teile (1x Empfänger, 2x Mikrofon/Sender) koppeln sich automatisch wie AirPods. Empfänger zusammen mit einem oder zwei der Mikrofone herausnehmen. Empfänger mit dem passenden Adapter (Lightning bzw. USB-C) versehen und am Aufnahmegerät anstecken.

      Vor dem ersten Gebrauch empfiehlt es sich, die Firmware zu aktualisieren. Dazu die AnkerWork-Software herunterladen und auf Mac oder Windows-PC installieren. Anschließend das Ladecase mit den drei Teilen drin von außen mit dem mitgelieferten USB-C-Kabel mit dem Mac/PC verbinden und das Firmware-Update anstoßen. Wenn nötig wiederholen, weil es insgesamt drei Geräte sind. Eine Registrierung ist möglich, aber nicht nötig, alles geht auch ohne. iPhone/Android-Apps gibt es nicht, sie sind auch überflüssig, abgesehen vom Firmware-Update, da die Funkmikrofone mit Standard-Schnittstellen versehen sind. Sie arbeiten daher problemlos mit jeglicher vorhandenen Software zusammen. Auf dem iPhone z.B. die “Sprachmemo”-App und die Kamera, auf dem Mac u.a. der “QuickTime Player” oder ebenfalls Sprachmemos.

      Das System eignet sich hervorragend, um Vorträge aus für Videos angemessener Entfernung zu filmen und zu vertonen. Die in zwei Stufen wählbare Unterdrückung der Umgebungsgeräusche ist gut geeignet, um Gemurmel in einer Versammlung oder sogar auf einer Messe zu unterdrücken. Ich habe das Mikrofon-Set an einer Sony-APS-Kamera getestet, am iPhone, iPad, einem Intel- und einem ARM-MacBook. Die Verbindungen waren immer einwandfrei und zuverlässig.

      Verwirrung kann allerdings die Stereo-Eigenschaft erzeugen: Mit Lightning-Anschluss sowie mit manchen Smartphones und manchen PCs sind nur Monoaufnahmen möglich. Man kann dann mit zwei Mikrofonen ein Monosignal erzeugen oder nur ein Mikrofon benutzen. Da das Anker-System nicht weiß, ob das Signal als mono oder stereo weiter verarbeitet wird, gibt es keine entsprechende Anzeige. Man muss also probieren. Das ist knifflig, teilweise hängt es auch von Betriebssystem-Versionen ab. So kann die Apple-Sprachmemo-App erst seit kurzem (2024) in Stereo aufnehmen. Ob Videokameras und Handys ein oder zwei Kanäle akzeptieren, hängt auch vom Modell ab.

      Man kann also mono mit einem Mikrofon aufnehmen, mono mit zwei Mikrofonen (beide werden zusammengeschaltet) oder stereo mit zwei Mikrofonen, sofern das Aufnahmegerät und die Aufnahmesoftware Stereosignale entgegennimmt, was nicht alle können. Während einer Aufnahme keinesfalls den Empfänger oder ein Mikrofon zurück ins Case legen, weil das die Aufnahme unterbricht, verständlich. Auch wenn der Empfänger über Lightning oder USB-C angesteckt wurde, besser nicht mehr von mono auf stereo wechseln oder zurück, weil manche Aufnahmesoftware dadurch verwirrt wird. Also erst entscheiden, ob mono, 2x mono oder stereo, dann erst Empfänger anstecken. Das ist der sicherste Weg.

      Die Anleitung ist minimalistisch, das ist ein Schwachpunkt, da ist DJI besser. Außerdem bietet Youtube Video-Tutorials und nützliche Tests.

      Es gibt einen “Sicherheitsmodus”, der aktiviert werden kann. Aus der Anleitung wird nicht klar, was der genau macht. Die Werbung deutet darauf hin, dass eine automatische Aufnahme als Backup gemeint sein könnte, wie DJI sie hat. Bei mir hat das jedoch keine Wirkung gehabt und bloß auf Mono umgeschaltet.

      Eine manuelle Aufnahme kann vom Touchscreen des Empfängers aus gestartet werden, auch in Stereo. Diese Aufnahme direkt im Mikrofon/Sender ist unabhängig von möglichen Aufnahmen, die der Empfänger an ein Smartphone oder einen Computer weiterleitet. Diese Extra-Aufnahmen können bei wichtigen Veranstaltungen die Rettung sein, wenn die Kamera ausfallen sollte. Sie entstehen als WAV direkt im Mikrofon/Sender und sind etwas leiser als normal, lassen sich jedoch hochregeln. Bei Stereo-Aufzeichnungen entstehen getrennte Dateien für jeden Kanal. Wegen der geringeren Lautstärke nur als Backup geeignet und nicht als Haupt-Aufnahmemöglichkeit. AnkerWorks sagt nicht, warum das Backup leiser ist. Aber DJI macht das auch und meint, das wäre nützlich bei Übersteuerungen durch hohe Lautstärke etwa bei Popkonzerten. Naja.

      Als teurere Alternativen gibt es das Mikrofonset von DJI in der ersten Generation, das ist sehr ähnlich, aber ohne Geräuschunterdrückung. DJI in der zweiten Generation bietet auch Geräuschunterdrückung, dazu außerdem eine optionale Bluetoothverbindung, bessere Kamera-Tonprofile und ein Scrollrad zur einfacheren Bedienung. Ich habe DJI aber nicht selbst getestet.

      Im Vergleich zu markenlosen Billiggeräten ist der Vorteil, dass die Aufnahme mit der Aussteuerungsanzeige des Empfängers, wenn gewünscht sogar mit Kontroll-Kopfhörer jederzeit überwacht werden. Für den Kontroll-Kopfhörer lassen sich aber nur zwei Lautstärkestufen einstellen (Einstellung AUX), das ist bescheiden aber gerade noch ok. Im Vergleich zu Billiggeräten ist die Batterielaufzeit außerdem länger und die Unterdrückung von Nebengeräuschen ist ein entscheidender Vorteil.

      Insgesamt ist das AnkerWorks M650 ein gut konzipiertes und hochwertig verarbeitetes System, das dank des Empfängers mit Touchscreen einfach und sicher zu benutzen ist. Gegenüber Aufnahmen aus der Entfernung mit integrierten Mikrofonen liefert das System einen dramatisch besseren Ton.
