Unleash the Power of Wireless Sound: Sennheiser Profile Wireless Review – A Superior DJI Alternative
Sennheiser Profile Wireless: One-Minute Review
In a world where tiny wireless microphones from relative upstarts like DJI, Rode, and Hollyland are making waves, veteran audio manufacturers like Sennheiser are finally getting in on the action. The Sennheiser Profile Wireless is a compact, lightweight microphone that’s designed for vloggers, podcasters, and anyone looking to upgrade their recorded content. And, in my hands-on review, I was impressed by its ease of use, excellent sound quality, and reasonable price point.
What’s in the Box?
The Sennheiser Profile Wireless Kit includes:
- Two transmitters, each weighing just 27g
- One receiver, also light at 27g
- A charging bar/interview mic
- Adapters for mounting the receiver on a camera cold shoe, or on a USB-C or Lightning device
- Two magnets for attaching the transmitter to clothing
- A 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable, as well as a USB-C to USB-C cable
- Three windscreens (two for transmitters, one for the interview mic)
- A soft, zip-up carry case to keep everything organized
Performance
The Sennheiser Profile Wireless boasts 24-bit audio quality, with the option to automatically record a secondary, 6dB-lowered audio track in case the main recording clip is lost due to unexpected loud noises. The range is respectable, with up to 245 meters of wireless connectivity.
Why Buy the Sennheiser Profile Wireless?

Alternatives to Consider
