RØDE Wireless Micro – beyond black and white!
RODE recently launched expressive new colorways for the award-winning Wireless Micro system. RODE now gives creators expanded options to personalize their gear and make their stories literally more colorful. The much-loved Wireless Micro, which I reviewed back in August, was already a standout for compact size, impressive recording quality, and ease of use. Now, it’s become a true statement piece for anyone looking to showcase both signature sound and style.
Let’s break down what this new release means for creators and why these changes could matter even if you’re already enjoying the Wireless Micro in the classic black or white.
A Vibrant, Customizable Take on Wireless Freedom
RODE announced the Wireless Micro is now available in three vivid new colors (red, orange, and blue) on top of the familiar black and white options. This opens up the door for creators to express more personality when they’re out in the field or live on camera. Imagine showing up to a shoot or a convention, and not only does your audio gear sound pro, but it also matches your brand’s colors, your mood for the day, or even your favorite sneakers.
It’s a move that feels perfectly in line with the Wireless Micro’s mission to democratize high-quality sound for content creators at every level. Damien Wilson, RODE’s CEO, says the company wants creators to “showcase both their signature sound and style” with this new drop, and honestly, that’s exactly what it delivers.
Price Drop and Enhanced Value
One of the surprise elements of this launch is the major price cut. The Wireless Micro’s new range comes in at just US$99, representing a significant 33% price drop. For creators on a budget, this makes the Wireless Micro more accessible than ever, without sacrificing features or quality.
You might assume a price cut means RODE trimmed down features, but that’s not the case. The new colors are available in the USB-C version, and all the key strengths from my original review remain firmly in place. You still get the ultra-compact transmitters and receivers, a charging case with up to 21 hours of power, omnidirectional microphones, impressive connectivity for smartphones and cameras, and RODE’s transparent, natural sound.
Serious Tech in a Fun Package
These bright new finishes are more than just a fashion statement. RODE’s Wireless Micro keeps all the creator-friendly features that folks loved in my review:
- Ultra-light, pocketable form factor (about the size of your thumb)
- Simple plug-and-go setup for iPhone (Lightning or USB-C) or Android
- Excellent battery life with a smart, rugged charging case
- Up to 100 meters of wireless range
- Pristine audio thanks to built-in mics and advanced noise reduction, perfect for vlogs, events, interviews, or on-the-go shoots
- Cross-platform flexibility with bonus camera receiver included
- Bluetooth pairing with iOS via the updated RODE Capture app, expanding off-camera and mobile possibilities
This is a system that lets you move effortlessly from mobile to camera, indoor to outdoor, casual content to more polished productions.

Ultimate Flexibility for Today’s Creator
One aspect I highlighted in August was how approachable the Wireless Micro is for different shooting styles. The new colorways don’t affect that versatility, but the launch also comes with some fresh tech: enhanced Direct Connect via Bluetooth, letting transmitters pair wirelessly to iOS devices for even more seamless setups using the RODE Capture app.
Whether you’re a solo content creator, part of a video team, or someone managing live coverage at conventions, this kit adapts easily. RODE also continues to include the Camera Receiver as a free accessory (just pay shipping if redeeming as a bonus), which adds even more value for hybrid creators who bounce from smartphone to mirrorless or DSLR camera.
Industry Recognition and Global Impact
The Wireless Micro isn’t just a fan favorite among YouTubers or TikTokers. It was recently crowned Best Microphone of 2025 by Rolling Stone, highlighting its unique mix of portability, sound quality, and creator-first design. RODE’s commitment to quality is backed up by almost obsessive production standards. Every Wireless Micro system comes out of RODE’s high-tech headquarters in Sydney, Australia, where the company oversees everything from industrial design to final assembly.
With the new color launch, RODE is exporting bold style as well as world-class audio to more than 100 countries. The Wireless Micro remains a global go-to for creators who need pro-grade features at an affordable price.
