I have researched the best wireless microphones to find the perfect option for daily use. After reading expert reviews from reputable sources like TechRadar, SoundGuys, and MusicRadar, two models consistently stand out as top recommendations:

• Xvive U35 Wireless Microphone System

• Rode Wireless GO II Compact Microphone System

The Xvive U35 offers great sound performance with a compact design, stable wireless connection, and easy setup. It looks like a solid choice for singers, presenters, or anyone who needs a simple and reliable mic system.

The Rode Wireless GO II is lightweight, portable, and easy to use. It comes with dual transmitters, long battery life, and strong connectivity. This feature makes it ideal for content creators, video calls, and on-the-go recordings.

I am having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs. I mostly want a wireless mic for presentations, occasional recordings, and casual content creation. Portability is a big plus, but I also care about sound quality and reliability.

So which one would you recommend, the Xvive U35 or the Rode Wireless GO II? Any advice or personal experience would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I have the Rode Wireless Go (original version). I have only used it for talking heads, lectures, all in speaking voice, not singing. I have never had a problem with it - it Is pretty much bullet-proof in operation, and the sound quality is good. It works well with the transmitter on its own (with built-in mic) clipped to clothing or in a shirt pocket, or with the supplied lavallier. I haven't found its distance limits, but that probably means it is good for anyone within normal shooting range.

I've been using Sennheiser AVX with MKE2 lavalier for a few years. Never had any problems with them.

You picked 2 mics that work on the 2.4 GHz spectrum. very busy, same as wifi and microwaves, and others.

I some of my locations, you get dropouts after 2 meters, in others it works well.

You have asked for the best, well that is an affordable version, but far from the best.

The wireless rode PRO has the same qualities with many improvements, like 32-bit recording, but still not the best quality in the transmission.

Sennheiser AVX, or Sound Devices A20 are much better, for semi pro the Diety Theos set is ok

How well do these work with singing?

By default, wireless will never sound as good as wired. Many pro audio and broadcast people rely on Lectrosonics et al. But they are really costly. You could try a rental house. Or hire audio guy with boom, and decent audio/mixer (Sound Devices). Sennheiser makes some nice units. I gave up using wireless because all my situations were in areas that introduced interference, like hospitals. Too nerve wracking.

Not sure what you mean, the mic or the wireless transmission.

If you ask a signer, they will say they have very particular mic preferences and conditions on what to use, what fits best for their voice, and many artists will bring their own mic.
Female and Male voices sound different on different mics.

But I don't have too much experience in that, so I am not the right person to talk about it.

some use Neumann microphone, DPA for instruments and live performances...
