How we ranked these

This is a tier list, not a strict spec sort. Recording safety (32-bit float or internal backup) leads, followed by range and battery life, then receiver options and price. Every number is the maker’s own rating from its official page, measured under the maker’s own conditions; battery and range figures are not directly comparable between brands. DJI’s pages show a base price rather than a specific kit, so check the configuration before buying. Hollyland’s pages list no price. The Rode Wireless GO (Gen 3) page does not publish a battery figure, and Shure and Sennheiser do not publish a range on the pages used, so those picks are compared on the figures they do list. Facts are taken from each maker's own published information; check the official site before you buy.
