Whether you're a content creator or a casual recording enthusiast, the Maono Wave T5 wireless lavalier microphone kit may not be on your radar – but it ticks a lot of boxes. If you're after clean audio in different environments, decent battery life and charging on-the-go, this handy setup is on par with its peers at a fraction of the price (from US$89.99 to $129.99).

First up: Sound quality. The T5 microphones – two small discs that can be attached easily with a very strong magnetic clip – capture crisp, clear voice recordings, with relatively low background noise. With the AI-powered noise canceling switched on, even moderate ambient noise such as office fans, background chatter or traffic noise, can be significantly filtered out. What's more, it doesn't distort voices in the process, providing a natural clear sound that can be recorded to a phone or camera. An accompanying app also offers three-mode/14-level noise cancelation, for added control. The mics record at 48 kHz/24-bit – the video standard – so you get high-resolution, low-noise audio to play with.
