Insta360 launches a cheaper version of its wireless mics with color screens
Insta360 has released a more affordable version of its wireless microphone system, priced at $249.99. The new model retains key features like color E Ink screens and AI-powered noise cancellation while offering a lower price point for content creators.
Why it matters
The release highlights the ongoing competition in the creator economy hardware market, where companies are balancing advanced features with accessibility.
Following the launch of its wireless Mic Pro system last May featuring built-in color E Ink screens for custom branding and an array of three microphones to emulate different pickup patterns, Insta360 has announced a cheaper alternative that skips a few features many content creators might not miss.
The new Insta360 Mic sits between the company’s Mic Pro and the budget-friendly Mic Air, which uses much smaller screenless transmitters. While the Mic Pro is priced at $329.99 for a kit that includes two microphone transmitters, one wireless receiver, and a charging case, the Insta360 Mic costs $249.99 for a similar bundle. Insta360 sells the microphones individually since they can directly connect to smartphones and many of the company’s cameras (including the X6, X5, and Luna Ultra) over Bluetooth. The Mic Pro transmitter on its own costs $99.99, while the new Insta360 Mic is $79.99.
