Rode Wireless GO II 5-stars Reviews

Great wireless microphones... though iPhone users need the Rode USB cable.

I needed to get hold of these Rode mics for some unexpected light video work with two local radio presenters and journalists at a boat festival in Scotland. The video was played from a laptop, into a Midas M32 and then into a video mixer to a large 4 x 2.5m LED video wall.

Turnaround of videos had to be very quick, so ultimately we decided to buy a set of these so we could edit things quickly using iMovie and export the footage fast, taking laptop computers completely out of the equation when it came to editing.

This device has lots of features including separating the audio to two separate streams on L & R, so you can adjust volume levels independently on the desk. Very handy, so we could apply compression as we needed to each channel.

The only difficulty for iPhone users is the lightning port. You need to purchase the rather pricey USB to lightning cable. Using a USB-C to lightning adapter won't work with the iPhone 14. An adapter may well work with the iPhone 15, but you'll have to do your research.

Go ahead and buy this one

This is one of the most satisfy reasonable price wireless microphone. It’s utilized for any occasion.

Fantastic Mics for travel vlogs

Bought these for making some travel videos which required me to occasionally move away from the camera, or stand behind it. Picks up my voice really well and saves a back-up version on the transmitter just in case. Never had any issues!

Great

Great system. Can even be used in live sound.

Works immediately out of the box

Had to charge all three devices immediately. No real instructions are included, but they are not really necessary.

The audio quality is great for the price, as usual with Rode.

As wit all Rode devices, do make sure you register with them for the extended Warranty.

Perfect wireless microphone

Perfect little microphone set for wireless use in video production, live streaming and such. NOT FOR LIVE PERFORMANCES IN CONCERTS BY NO MEANS :D

The range is good. So far never had any connectivity issues.

What could be better is volume controls as it works in three stages so not very accurate control but that is nothing what cannot be fixed in camera, computer or editing.

Good for interviews or for placing in spots to keep it invisible and pick sound.

You can connect lavs or any 3.5mm mic for that matter if you have anything better than default mics.

Better than gen1 version as it comes with one reciever and two mics which are split L/R sides when using both.

Excellent vfm

Combined with rode lav mic it makes an excellent choice

Great, even for stage!

We use these in our outdoor show as wireless microphones instead of lavalier mics because we constantly need to change costumes, and we don't like the mess that cables create. The Wireless GO has a great built-in mic that does the job perfectly. There are settings on the devices to adjust input volume, and you can mute the mic by the click of a button, which is really useful. And it's great that you only need on receiver for both mics.

Rode Wireless GO II

Great for the price. Working well, compact, light and budget.

I am recommending.

good overalll quality

a real piece of tech

Wireless GO is the way to GO

Very happy with this system. Idiot-proof and it makes a beginner in sound seem like a pro. Very easy to use and good quality.

Great wireless option

Small, easy to use, convenient with great latency!

A dream come true

I went with those and they re just awesome! Rode is still releasing new features, also for the app. Solid sound quality, also with the lavs. Gain output could be a bit higher but its ok. I love them. Super reliable. I had expensive Sennheiser and other stuff before and hated them. These tiny ones are just.. super cute and work like a charm.

Super quality and easy to use device

This product is very excellent and easy to use. I use on my Full format Nikon Camera, Sony HD Cam, and I use it for audio recording. I love it and I keep recommending to people who need such device.

The only thing I wish included were: Start/Stop recording on the mics. Right now it records the moment it starts. Otherwise, this is amazing product.

Best bang for the buck for interviews

These are perfect for 2 person interviews not only can you split the channels separately and then edit as needed afterwords but you can also record internally at 24bit. Must have

Great little Wireless Mics

By far not necessarily considered "Pro" equipment but if you just need x2 extra lavs mics that are super quick to put on talent for simple moving or static camera interviews these are a bargain and sound really good.

Software is buggy however on Windows 10 for me.

Surprisingly good quality. Absolutely everything satisfies! I use the workshop to stream on a zoom platform. The lecturer can move freely around the lecture room and hears everything she says clearly. I put the second microphone in the auditorium. Everyone can be heard there too. I recommend everyone a colossal Rode product!

Easy to use

very handy and easy to use

Great sound quality and quickest setup on the market!

PROS - Quick setup and great sound.

The Wireless Go II can also record directly onto the transmitters (onboard recording) if you want! This is a priceless feature! You set up the onboard recording option via software.

CONS - requires the SC7 to get audio into apps like (Instagram, camera) on the Huawei / iPhone.

If you just connect Rode Wireless Go II to your phone via USB-C cable you need to run specific video recording software that can select external microphone input, or else it will still use the phones microphone. That's why I highly recommend you also buy the SC7 patch cable.

I hope it will improve with firmware updates.

Some brands have a manual gain feature.

Rode only 2 mode (Normal & Pad)

Sometimes people are looking for manual control in the field. Sensitivity option 6 selectable levels can be added. (Aka seramonic blink 500 pro)

Very easy option for rode software/r&d team
