The Best Wireless Microphones
Are microphone wires getting in the way of your freedom and fun? With traditional microphones, you often have a limited range of motion. If you move too far, you risk pulling the microphone cord out of the system and causing a piercing sound that no one will forget (nor forgive). But standing still isn't a lot of fun, either. You deserve the freedom to move around a bit and let your body do some of the talking. It's time to unleash yourself from the cord and invest in a wireless microphone. With any of these wireless microphones, you'll be able to bust a move at karaoke night, pass the microphone around the room for speeches, and more.

Bietrun UHF Wireless Dual Handheld Dynamic Mic System
Packed with a rechargeable receiver and two microphones, we can’t imagine how this wireless microphone system would let you down. You simply plug the receiver into a mic jack and turn on the microphones. You can connect it to an outdoor speaker, a PA speaker system, an amplifier, and more. The system has a range of up to 160 feet, so it’s a great choice for larger rooms.
The microphones are both well built. They come with an alloy casing and have a steel mesh head. They look professional, and more importantly, they help you sound great. There are five different volume levels, so you can make sure your voice is heard. The clear audio has a warm, smooth sound.
Pros:
- This mic features a plug-and-play design, so you won’t waste time trying to pair microphones or install the software.
- The receiver batteries will work for four hours and charge fully in three.
- This is actually a set with two microphones, so you can sing duets, have multiple presenters, and more.
Cons:
- You need to have speakers to plug the receiver into since there isn’t voice amplification on the microphones themselves.
Bonaok Wireless Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone
Claim your fifteen minutes of fame
Are you ready to sing? Purchase this wireless microphone, and your answer might very well be yes. This is a great solution for karaoke nights since you can use it anywhere. Also, it’s available in so many fun colors. For this price, you can pick up a couple of different ones to make group songs even more special.
You have the option to connect your smartphone to this wireless microphone, too. This way, you can get your playlist going and the music will be amplified along with your voice. If you decide to do that, the system is compatible with both Androids and iPhones. It’s simple to connect, so you can get started singing in no time.
Pros:
- This is a great price for a good quality microphone. And as a bonus, it comes in a case so that you can easily store it without damage.

Cons:

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you set up a wireless microphone?
When you purchase a wireless microphone, you want to make sure it’s compatible with the other sound equipment you have. Always read the product’s specifications before you purchase it. Once your microphone arrives, refer to the directions for getting everything connected. If you need to plug a receiver into external speakers, you typically just plug it in, and then it’ll be ready to use. Plug-and-play features make this an easy process. Make sure you have batteries in the microphone and you’ll be ready to go.
What range do I need from a wireless microphone?
Each wireless microphone has a different range. This is the amount of distance you can have between the receiver and the microphone’s transmitter while still expecting them to work properly. Before you buy one, think about where you’ll typically be using your wireless microphone. You may even want to measure that space if you aren’t sure about the actual distance. Then, purchase a microphone that will work within that distance. When you’re looking at ranges, remember that line of sight is often required. This means your system will probably need to be set up in the same room so that walls and other obstacles don’t get in the way.
