It feels like it was only a couple of months ago that DJI launched its Mic Mini, but checking my history, it turns out it was all the way back in December 2024.
So it's bang on time, if a little overdue, that DJI launched a sequel to its compact microphone for creators. And this time around, it's all about the colour.
The DJI Mic Mini 2 keeps the same ultracompact form factor as its predecessor, with the transmitter weighing just 11g on its own.
Three voice tone presets, Regular, Rich, and Bright, give you basic tuning options without touching post-production, and two-level noise cancellation adjusts depending on whether you're recording indoors or in a noisy outdoor environment.
The 48kHz, 24-bit audio quality, automatic limiting, five-level gain adjustment, and dual-track recording via the DJI Mimo app all carry across from the original.

The redesigned charging case now fits the transmitter, receiver, and accessories in one compact unit, and holds enough charge to extend total battery life to 48 hours. The transmitter runs for up to 11.5 hours on its own, and a five-minute top-up delivers about an hour of use.
Range is up to 400 metres in a two-transmitter setup using the DJI Mic Mini Receiver, and 300 metres with the mobile receiver.
For those shooting on compatible DJI cameras, including the Osmo Pocket 4 and Osmo Action 6, the Mic Mini 2 can connect directly via DJI OsmoAudio without a separate receiver.
But the bigger story with this release is the colour.
DJI has added interchangeable magnetic front covers to the transmitter, with Obsidian Black and Glaze White in the box.
The more eye-catching option is the Time Series Magnetic Front Covers, created in collaboration with Hong Kong-born illustrator Victo Ngai and sold separately.
The four designs, Dawn, Surge, Blaze, and Glimmer, each represent a different stage of life through distinct colour palettes.
Ngai is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree and five-time Gold Medalist at the Society of Illustrators, and the designs are detailed enough to make a strong case for keeping the mic visible rather than tucking it out of sight. "Instead of being just another microphone that needs to be hidden, the DJI Mic Mini 2 becomes a piece of art that people want to showcase," Ngai said.
The Mic Mini 2 Receiver is backwards compatible with the original Mic Mini, so existing users can pair the new transmitter without replacing their kit. DJI also previewed the Mic Mini 2S, coming later this year, which will add internal recording and support for up to four transmitters at once.
