BSNL Lavalier Microphone Dual K9 True Wireless Review (Model Number: K9)
Introduction
The BSNL Lavalier Microphone Dual K9 True Wireless with Type-C receiver adapter arrived on my desk promising a truly wireless, hassle-free audio experience. After spending several weeks putting it through its paces – from outdoor live streams to quiet indoor recordings – I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This small package packs a surprising punch, but does it live up to its claims?
Features
The K9’s key selling points are its true wireless design, compact size, and impressive claimed specifications. The claimed 20m wireless range and 9ms ultra-low latency are particularly enticing for mobile content creators. The built-in noise reduction is another standout feature, promising clear audio even in less-than-ideal environments. The simple plug-and-play functionality, lacking any app requirement, is a definite plus for ease of use. Its compatibility with various devices – phones, computers, tablets, cameras – is also a welcome aspect.

Performance
In my testing, the K9 delivered on many of its promises. The connection was consistently stable within the claimed 20m range, with minimal dropouts. The 9ms latency was noticeable in its absence; there was no perceptible delay between audio capture and playback, making it ideal for live streaming and vlogging where real-time audio is crucial. The noise reduction worked effectively in moderately noisy environments, filtering out background hum and chatter surprisingly well. However, in extremely noisy situations, some background noise did bleed through, but it was less intrusive than I expected. The battery life exceeded my expectations, easily lasting over 10 hours of continuous use on a single charge. The microphone’s sensitivity is superb; it picked up even subtle sounds with clarity. The compact design and ease of clipping it to clothing made it incredibly convenient to use.
One minor quibble: while the claimed 360-degree surround sound is accurate in terms of directional pickup, it can sometimes pick up unwanted sounds from the back if not positioned carefully. This isn’t a major drawback, but it’s something to keep in mind.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: True wireless, low latency, excellent noise reduction (for its size), long battery life, easy to use, wide device compatibility, compact and portable.
- Cons: Can pick up unwanted background noise in very loud environments, 360-degree pickup can sometimes be overly sensitive.
Final Verdict
The BSNL Lavalier Microphone Dual K9 is an impressive little device. Its true wireless design, low latency, and effective noise reduction make it a compelling option for anyone looking for a convenient and high-quality lavalier microphone for vlogging, live streaming, or other mobile audio applications. While it’s not perfect and has minor drawbacks, its strengths far outweigh its weaknesses. I highly recommend it for its ease of use and performance.
