The Best Wireless Microphone Systems
Some people love performing, whether in front of others or in front of their bedroom mirror. The increasing availability of affordable wireless microphone systems has made it easier to amplify sound than ever before. We’ve got the scoop on the best ones. These compact and high-quality wireless microphone sets cover a variety of needs for public speakers, musicians, and anyone looking to focus more on getting in the zone and less on tripping over a power cord.
Innopow WM-333 Wireless Microphone System
The Innopow WM-333 system may be affordable, but it has won the respect of audiophiles and sound professionals alike. The set includes a receiver and two sturdy microphones that are all made of metal, giving them high durability and resilience on the road. The sound quality is also terrific, so you may end up appreciating the sound of your own voice in real-time. But what performers seem to love most about this set is the range. You can wander about 250 ft within line-of-sight before you even start to hear distortion. For professional quality at an affordable price, the Innopow WM-333 is a gem.
Pros:
- Long battery life that runs approximately 14 to 17 hours
- Metal microphones are well-weighted for performers who prefer a heavier mic
Cons:
- Antennas are on the back of the receiver, making it more difficult to place on a rack without some interference

ZOWEETEK Voice Amplifier
Speaker setup made easy
By George, they’ve done it. Zoweetek has made a portable microphone and included the speaker system right in the package. This “voice amplifier” comes with a headset mic that can be easily clipped to your ear and a small but powerful speaker that directly receives the signal and amplifies it for the room. You can even clip the speaker to your belt, allowing you to roam, skip, and be extra with the theatrics. Come on, your audience deserves it.
You’re likely not going to be playing Carnegie Hall with this little guy, but it’s perfect for teachers, small class instructors, tour guides, and anyone doing shows in more confined spaces.

The thing we love most about it is that multiple microphones can be used at once, making it perfect for group karaoke. The set comes with two handheld mics, but up to three can be plugged in and used simultaneously. Each mic has its own volume control since some of us like to belt it out a little harder than others. Better yet, they have a generous operating range of 80 feet. Rest assured, this mic has built-in echo control and reproduces your voice with warmth and clarity. Now nothing can get in your way of belting “Don’t Stop Believing” at full volume.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many accessories are typically included in a microphone set?
In most cases, microphones and receivers are sold together, which then plug into external speakers or require separate adapters for other uses.
Is sound quality sacrificed on smaller devices?
Not necessarily. Although there are typically fewer options to treat sound with more compact use, more sophisticated receivers with control panels are ideal for professionals.
