Saramonic Air review – “A complete mic set you can plug and play on your phone”

by

  • The Saramonic Air wireless microphone comes in a complete set with an easy plug-and-play nature
  • Quality-of-life features include a windowed charging case and a display on the receiver
  • The “retro” blocky design might be a hit or a miss

It appears that many of my nephews and nieces express a strong interest in streaming as their chosen career path when they enter adulthood. While I may not fully grasp the complexities involved with being a streamer, it’s clear that this is the industry capturing their attention currently. In fact, it seems that they aspire to follow this path when they grow older.

It might not be as straightforward as some new YouTubers believe, but it’s undeniable that streaming and vlogging are the path of the future. All I can do is attempt to discover the smoothest route for them to succeed on this journey.

As a tech enthusiast, it seems like the Saramonic Air wireless microphone is exactly what I need to enhance my video recording skills on my mobile device. With its user-friendly plug-and-play design, I’m confident that I can capture high-quality audio and step closer to earning the title of Best Aunt Ever with my improved videos!

Now, while I’m not going to give away my Saramonic Air to my too-young nephews and nieces just yet, I do think it’s a great indication of how far technology has come. The mic system – because it really is an all-in-one thing – includes two magnetic transmitters, one receiver, a USB-C adapter and a Lightning adapter, two dead cat windshields, and a clip for the receiver, all fitting in nicely into a lovely charging case.
Connectivity is absolutely painless, as simply turning on the receiver and the transmitter will automatically pair them and let you start recording. What’s interesting here is that there’s a slot in the back of the receiver where you can lock your adapters in place, which was incredibly easy to use on my Android phone.
Speaking of being discreet, however, the Sarmonic Air comes in a rectangular shape that’s a little too bulky for my taste though, and the same is true for the receiver. It just looks a tad odd attached to my phone, and while I can understand the bigger size given its LCD display, it’s still chonkier than, say, the

I did feel like it made my voice a little nasally at times
, but I suppose I can’t compare it to an actual boom mic (check out
too if you’re in the market for one).
Of course, your mileage may vary, and if you’re reading this wondering if you should get the Saramonic Air based on its audio quality and extra features, then by all means, you should. But ultimately, you should buy the mic (or any gadget, for that matter) that looks and feels good to you, especially if it’s something like this that you’re meant to tag along with you while you’re out and about.

As a devoted enthusiast, I can confidently say that it’s challenging to pinpoint any significant flaws in the Saramonic Air, given its impressive array of features. If you have around $139 (or $159 for the two lav mics), this comprehensive package is certainly worth considering.
