Insta360's Mic Pro has three built-in mics and looks like a chunky pin badge - Engadget
Insta360 introduced the Mic Pro wearable wireless microphone with an e-ink display covering most of its circular face. The display can show simple images, words, or a YouTube logo through a companion app, and it refreshes while charging to reduce image burn-in. The Mic Pro is larger than the Mic Air and includes a three-microphone array plus an AI processor for noise reduction. It supports three polar patterns—omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-8—to match different recording setups. It records internally with 32-bit floating audio to prevent clipping. It can connect directly to many Insta360 action cameras, and it can also record independently with 32GB storage as a backup.
"Through a companion app, you can upload simple images, words or even your YouTube channel logo. The screen will also refresh and cycle through when charging to avoid any image burn-in. It's oddly more eye-catching but also looks less like a mic (hiding in plain sight?), looking like something between a chunky button badge and an enamel pin. The colors are also pleasantly vivid, and I kinda like the low-fi comic book look of some of the preprogrammed options."
"Audio-wise, the Mic Pro is a big leap over last year's Mic Air, which is why it's substantially larger. Each Mic Pro has a three-microphone array and an AI processor for noise reduction. These mics also offer three different polar patterns (omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-8) so you can adjust for your recording environments, whether it's a one-on-one interview or a group meeting. The mics also have a 32-bit floating internal recording, which means captured audio won't clip."
"These wearable mics can also connect directly to most of Insta360's latest action cameras and devices, so while there is a receiver that can plug into phones and other cameras, you won't need it if you intend to use only in-house cameras. When connected to the X5 or Go Ultra, for example, the Mic Pro will record 48kHz high-fidelity audio on its own."
"Another nice touch is that the mics can also record audio independently, providing a convenient backup in case the signal gets shaky - each Mic Pro has 32GB of built-in storage. Insta360 has also given more consideration to users who want to pair its mics with their non-Insta360 camera, with easier"
