SENNHEISER Professional ME 2 Small Omni-directional Lavalier Microphone For Use With Wireless SK Bodypack Transmitters,Black

The Sennheiser ME 2 is proof that great things come in small, black packages. Clip it on, and suddenly I sound like I’m ready to host a TED Talk, narrate a documentary, or at least finally get taken seriously on Zoom. The sound quality is classic Sennheiser—clean, warm, and natural. It doesn’t color my voice, it just makes me sound like the best version of myself (which, let’s be honest, is all I’ve ever wanted). Being omni-directional, it picks up everything clearly without me needing to pin it at the perfect angle. I can breathe, move, or even gesticulate wildly without my audio cutting out. Durability? Solid. The cable feels tough enough to handle the daily grind, yet slim enough to stay discreet on camera. I’ve run it through presentations, interviews, and a few chaotic test recordings, and it hasn’t flinched once. Plus, it plays perfectly with SK bodypacks—plug and go, zero fuss. In short: reliable, professional, and tiny enough to forget I’m even wearing it. The ME 2 is like that friend who’s always calm, collected, and makes you look good without stealing the spotlight. If you need broadcast-ready sound from a mic smaller than a paperclip, this is it.

I am a composer by trade, and recently found myself acting as an ADR recordist for an ultra-low budget film produced locally, so I had to purchase some additional mics similar to or exactly the same as was used on set, so I ordered one of these puppies, and let me tell you--without the wireless component, and instead using along with a Rode VXLR+ was extremely easy to set up, and offered better-than-wireless recording quality, without the telltale pops and crackles from the wireless, so I was really able to hear the full quality of this lav mic. It offers crisp, clean audio in the sweet spot of 50Hz to 18kHz. The 360 degree pickup meant the talent could easily pivot, turn, and lean into whatever position they were in originally on set, without losing volume or tonal consistency. It captured pretty evenly even off-axis. The SPL rating up to 130 dB is no joke, and did pretty well even when we took the ADR session mobile to record in traffic and construction environments to match production audio. Th 5' cable is sturdy, but using it without a wireless pack meant it was a bit short, so keep that in mind if you're going studio like I did. It's pocket-sized, super light-weight, and would be incredibly discrete if necessary for new, podcasts, theater, or VR applications. For the price, this microphone is an absolute unsung hero you can clip and forget without breaking the bank.

The Sennheiser ME 2 is a fantastic lavalier mic with clean, clear audio and a noticeably more full-bodied sound compared to others I’ve used in the $80–$100 range. The difference isn’t dramatic—many $80 lavs are quite good—but the ME 2 has a subtle richness and depth that stands out, at least to my ears. Of course, sound is subjective, but if you’re looking for a lav mic with a bit more presence and polish, this one delivers. Build quality is solid, and it integrates easily into most setups without fuss. The mic itself is slightly larger than some other lavs, but once placed in a Bubblebee hiding kit, it becomes very discreet—almost invisible on camera. No issues with bulk or visibility when properly mounted. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a professional, reliable mic that goes just a bit further than the competition.

I can't find anything even remotely close to this lavalier. What I wanted was a small mic that I can attach to my car to record my runs, complete with a very loud exhaust system. I've tried a few lavalier mics on the market, but many of them have a very low SPL rating, meaning that recording loudness beyond a certain db level will just result in distortion; put it simply, the microphone would go deaf. Rode is a good choice but I needed a TRS jack to work with my GoPro, so the Sennheiser was my natural choice. At 130db SPL rating, it was able to record my vehicle's sounds in a clarity and level that I can accept, though the actual fidelity of the audio left a bit to desire. That said, it's a lavalier mic. For its size, it does a very good job based on my requirements. If I wanted any better, I'd probably have to settle for a larger mic or an external powered mic. If you want to record any super loud audio with a small mic, the ME2-II is an excellent choice.

I have been using my wireless system for years. This is the second time the mic needed replacing. The problem is over time, the wire develops a short forcing you to replace a perfectly good mic. I wish they would improve the design so that the cable going to the mic was replaceable.

This mic works like a charm. Not too high. Not too deep. Just right. And anyway, there’s always post processing. I like the range. I like the ouch cord. I like the clip, which some irritable people comment about because they can’t seem to grasp the function of an alligator clip that can be REVERSED simply by taking it off, turning it over, and reattaching it. I like that I can plug it into my Zoom or into my PC or into my phone. It’s so, so simple and easy. But wait Johnny, that’s not all! Bluetooth mics die. Plug in mics NEVER die. Score that based on your own working environment and experience. For me? I want my mic on when I turn it on: first time, every time. Value of that? Priceless. Try it out.

I'm using this to record vlogs on my phone. I needed an adapter that divides microphones and headphones for the phone and gosh - the sound quality is amazing. I've gotten two other lav mics and they sounded like I was stuck in a can. This one is very true to the original sound and doesn't need any EQ editing - which is exactly what I was looking for. The one thing is that sometimes I can hear the static in some parts but I think it might be my cheap adapter. Just ordered a new one and hopefully that solves the problem.

The OG Sennheiser version that this is works the best. Don't waste your money on the knockoffs. Having said that this will only last a wedding season or slightly less. The cable close to the connection and the cable close to the mic get handled the most and will crinkle over time and sometimes expose bare wire. My guess is the only way to get better quality is to buy better systems and I'm not talking about Shure or Sennheiser or EV. By buying better quality I'm referring to ones that are for higher end units that cost two to three to four times as much. The kind that is normally for movie industry etc. Basically just plan on spending $115 every nine months to a year.
