- criddell 6y agoIs the audio quality recorded from a Bluetooth microphone worse than audio played through Bluetooth headphones? (ie is recording worse than playback?) If not, then that's okay because Bluetooth headphones sound fine. A wired mic isn't really an option in the environment I want to film in but I want something better than the on-camera mic because I'm occasionally pretty far away from the camera. I also don't want the hassle of recording audio on a separate audio recorder and then mixing that into my video. I want decent audio from a wireless mic recorded onto the phone video. I didn't think that was a big ask...
- viraptor 6y ago> is recording worse than playback? Yes / kind of. Bluetooth headphones can be in a few modes, but generally they're either "high quality playback" or "crap playback with crap input". As soon as you activate the mic, the playback quality will drop. But for the isolated playback of a recording, you'll get better quality.

- hctaw 6y agoUsing a separate recorder here has the best price to performance for you, I think. Sennheiser has several wireless systems designed for your needs: https://en-us.sennheiser.com/wireless-systems https://en-us.sennheiser.com/wireless-systems
- criddell 6y agoThe hassle factor is way too high and it doesn't work easily for live streaming from a phone.
- hctaw 6y agoI think your fundamental issue might be expecting a phone to be a decent multimedia capture device (phones == content consumption, not content creation). If it's an iPhone and you just care about speech, air pods will be hard to beat.
- criddell 6y agoThe Rode product that somebody else mentioned looks like it's worth a try. It's a wireless mic where the receiver plugs into the phone.
