A super easy wireless mic setup for iPhones without the need for cables. You can record with the built-in mic, plug in a lav mic or any other 3.5mm microphone!
Wireless Microphone for iPhone
I’m a big advocate for efficiency, and if you’re an iPhone content creator this thing is clutch. The Comica BoomX-D wireless mic system is a great option for good audio at a decent price. I have the Comica Boom X-D MI1 (1 microphone + iphone receiver) and it’s so easy to setup cause you just plug the receiver directly into your iPhone. And the second your turn the mic on, it pairs automatically so you can start recording right away.
I like these cause you can upgrade the microphone, use a lav mic or just use the built-in. They’re super compact, adaptable for whatever scenario and has a decent battery life (~4 hours). The only caveat is that the receiver doesn’t have a screen to see what your controls are like in the regular BoomX-D. And I’d probably buy the two mic pack cause then you can podcast off the bat if you want.

Streamline vs Compatibility
I like Comica’s mics in general cause they’re affordable but still sound good. The only caveat I have about the BoomX-D is that there are so many options. You can choose between the iPhone setup like I have (MI1 or MI2), the Android wireless mics (UC1 or UC2) or with a aux cord (Comica BoomX-D1 or X-D2). Like compatibility wise it’s best to get the BoomX-D2 so you can have two wireless mics hooked up to your DSLR, iPhone or Android. But with the iPhone it just creates so much drag and resistance to make sure you have an OTG cable and like worried that it doesn’t break. So I think you really have to know what your main camera is and choose that. For me I haven’t really picked up my DSLR in a minute and always sway to using the iPhone before anything so that’s why I picked the MI1.
This is Wireless Mic System I’d buy based on
Compatibility (3.5mm): Comica BoomX-D2
iPhone (Lightning): Comica BoomX-D MI2
Android (USB-C): Comica BoomX-D UC2

This is a wireless mic that hooks straight up to your iPhone!
If you record audio or create content with an iPhone, this is a must have. Clutch for talking head videos, podcasts, or like real estate tours lol? like a bunch of stuff. But this mic is awesome and if you don’t wanna deal with hanging dongles or OTG cables this is something u should def check out!
The microphone (tx) has about a 4 hour battery life, a built-in mic (basically used this whole video) with the option to plug in the included lav mic or any other 3.5mm mic. This automatically pairs with the iPhone receiver (rx) that lets you control the gain (0-10db), record audio in mono or split to stereo (left/right tracks for 2 mics) and a headphone jack to monitor your audio (key cuz the iPhone rx [mi1] doesn’t have a screen to show what ur gain is).
Side Note:
Their naming convention is just the device it’s being used for and the number of microphones it comes with:
Comica BoomX-(Device)(# of mics)
D2 (for DSLRs): 3.5mm receiver + 2 microphones
Dmi1 (for iPhones): lightning receiver + 1 microphone
Duc1 (for Android): USB-C receiver + 1 microphone
