The DJI Mic Mini is down to its lowest price ever for Prime Big Deal Days
Save 41%: The DJI Mic Mini is on sale for $99 at Amazon as of Oct. 7, bringing its $169 list price down by $70.
Good audio quality is a deceptively straightforward way to elevate content, but the process of choosing a mic can be decidedly less so.
Before you hit add to cart on a cheap $20 mini mic or $400 XLR microphone, allow me to plead the case for the DJI Mic Mini. After seeing this portable mic all over TikTok, I decided to test it out for myself — now, I officially get the hype. And to sweeten the deal, it's on sale for its lowest price ever during Amazon's October Prime Day sale, going for just $99 instead of its full price of $169.
Note: This deal is available from a third-party seller — DJI has been facing stock issues in the U.S., both on existing products and new releases.
While I get the appeal of buying a $20 mic, there is a considerable jump in quality to the Mic Mini, from the level controls on the receiver that you can monitor in real time, to the noise-cancellation features. I used the mic on a windy day near a busy street, and the background noise barely picked up on the set. Mashable's social team also tested the mics in an echoey convention center hall, in a press line of other interviewers — but you'd never know by the way the audio turned out.
The $99 kit also comes with what most people would need for a basic setup, including two transmitters, one receiver, a charging case, two clip magnetics, four windscreens, and a carrying case. The mics themselves have up to 48 hours of battery per charge — I never had it run out on me during use. Compared to the $349 DJI Mic 2 or $199 Rode Wireless Go system, the Mic Mini is an exceptional value.
