DJI has introduced the Mic Mini 2, a second-generation version of its compact wireless microphone system, with a mix of small design changes and pricing adjustments that set it apart from the original model.

The new transmitter is lighter in form, weighing 11 grams, and includes a detachable magnetic clip that can rotate. Much of the core audio performance remains unchanged. Recording continues at 48 kHz, 24-bit, with automatic limiting and adjustable gain across five levels. Users also retain access to two stages of noise cancellation and dual-track recording through the DJI Mimo app.

What stands out this time is a shift toward on-device customization. The Mic Mini 2 introduces three voice tone presets — Regular, Rich, and Bright — allowing users to adjust sound character without relying on post-production tools. For many, that could simplify quick recording setups, particularly in mobile or field conditions.

The visual design has also been reworked. DJI has added interchangeable magnetic front covers, with Obsidian Black and Glaze White included by default. Additional colors are offered separately, including an eight-color set. A themed collection designed by illustrator Victo Ngai brings four distinct options — Dawn, Surge, Blaze, and Glimmer — suggesting DJI is testing a more expressive direction for its accessories.

In terms of operation, the system maintains a similar structure. The charging case stores the transmitter, receiver, and accessories, while a separate mobile version caters to smartphone users. Transmission range reaches up to 400 meters with the standard receiver and up to 300 meters with the mobile version.

Battery performance remains in line with expectations for this category. The transmitter runs for up to 11.5 hours, the receiver for 10.5 hours, and the charging case extends total use to 48 hours. A short five-minute charge can deliver roughly one hour of recording time.

Compatibility across DJI’s ecosystem appears to be a priority. The Mic Mini 2 works with existing receivers in the Mic Mini line, as well as the DJI Mic Series Mobile Receiver. Through OsmoAudio Direct Connection, it can also link directly with select devices including Osmo Pocket 3, Osmo 360, Osmo Nano, and Osmo Action 6, removing the need for a separate receiver in some setups.

Pricing marks one of the more noticeable changes. The standard kit, which includes two transmitters, one receiver, and a charging case, starts at £89 or from €89. A smaller package with one transmitter and a mobile receiver begins at £49 or from €54. These figures place the Mic Mini 2 well below the original Mic Mini’s launch price of £145 in late 2024.

There are, however, some gaps in availability. No pricing or release details have been confirmed for the United States, and earlier FCC filings related to the device have reportedly been removed.

DJI has indicated that a further model, the Mic Mini 2S, is expected later in the summer, with additional capabilities including internal recording and support for more transmitters.

For now, the Mic Mini 2 enters the market as a modest update, with incremental improvements and a sharper price that may draw attention from creators working with tighter budgets.
