Boya BY-WM8 Pro-K2 - Dual Wireless Lavs On A Budget
Ғылым және технология
We get lots of questions about the equipment we use to make the videos on the channel so I thought that the next time we added something significant that I would probably talk about it. Let's check out the Boya BY-WM8 Pro-K2 wireless lav kit

Loving reviews like this 🙌🙌
This is a rad as set up! Damn good price for two rigs and the receiver!
I think you just helped me make up my mind on the kit I am going to get for my wife and I! Thanks man!
I don't see any update on the boya by-wm8 after this video,how is the performance so far? you like it? or dont like it?
Not going to lie, didn't really understand most of the technical stuff. But none the less that looks like a pretty neat wireless lav system and sounds pretty good to me. Great video fams, can't wait to hear them in full action at computex
Good start-up review. What's your final verdict? Worth it? Has it held up? Ease of use? Vs RODE?
thank you, what is your experience like with the Boya after one year please?
Thanks for this video! Do you think it's a good idea to set the transmitters to 31 volume which is the max for the Boya WM8 Pro K2?
hey hey hey thanks for the video, how is going with the mics after a while?
How's the mic going? Still worth it?
Hi, Thanks for the review. Are this still a good buy?
I use the Boya's with sennheiser mke40 lavaliers for a three person set. Good system for this purpose. Min: the reciever is eating batteries. 1,5 hour.
Hi so far, what is the range of Boya kit and has there been any degradation over time?
Hi ! Is it possible to choose the source on receiver side ? Say to choose one of the mics or both. Thanks
Ok, I thought you were going to interview some folks so one can understand how the stuff sounds. Not too bad. Just need one to try it out. Thanks
is WM8 worth the extra dollar over WM4 which dont have the LED screen, but prib better battery life?
Wondering if you have a mini jack to 2 xlr you can separate the 2 received signals.
Battery Consumption is very high. Mostly on the receiver. One pair cant last a day. So if you're using for wedding get in the Headphones all the time.
Any recent feedback about mic quality and batteries perfomance?
what microphone are you using during the video? his quality seems to be superior to the Boya.
Hey. first time vloger here, there will be 2.of us. Wondering if this product is the way to go or a cheaper alternative getting 2 wired boya lavaliers, recording sound on 2 diff phones and imposing on the video. Will be using smartphones. Just happen to have extra old smartphones lying around. Wondering if the system in ur video is worth the money. Like 40 bucks for 2 wired lavaliers vs 200+ for this?
since its been about a year or more since this video was posted I was wondering how well you like system
damn good video that's a steal
Hello. Can this mic be use with Macintosh laptop or Iphone ?
Do you have used Boya wm8 ? I need it for my KZread videos please.
Noise & Hiss sounds appears some time when connected to Nikon D850. How to get it off ?
Sweet!!!
Hallo. Is this model works with a Android smartphone(Samsung S10) via kit 3.5mm jacket? I ask because I feel like I need to plug in smart phone TRS to TRRS cable. Thank you
Is it can use for smartphone?
Will these mics work with Sony Camcorders?
Good review sir, I m going to buy fm Amazon bt I hv seen in most review dat battery use to drain within 10 min so plz Tel me 👍
Thanks for the review. I have the pro K2 system. How long do your batteries last in the receiver? I'm running the receiver into a zoom recorder and the batteries drain in about 10-20 mins?? Is that standard or a defect? Standby time (not recording) seems to be around 2 hours give or take.

Hi, sorry i bother you but i'm looking for the same solution. Can you do it?
Any feedback after this time?
it's 2022 how it now with almost 4 years of use?
When you use it on "Stereo" mode, does it assign the lavs to Left and Right? Or can it only give you a mixed-down file of the two mics combined? I'm wondering if you can isolate the output of each mic so that you can edit each lav mic seperately in post. Thanks!

first in the world to watch this video ( I feel special)
I have just bought a set of these. I am trying to hook them into my Ipad Pro. Not having any success. I bought an adaptor (Lightning to 3.5mm) but no go. On the transmitters it shows they are muted but I can't work out how to unmute them and the instructions are sketchy. Anyone know how to help me? Phil

you can not imagine how quickly i hit that buy button when i saw this under 200$
GEAR SEEKERS, What about the battery life how long have you gone with it before you have to swap out the AA batteries? This is EXTREMELY important too me. What about parts breaking on the unit that I heard a few people complain about, what's been your experience? What's your final word on the durability of this system? At the conclusion you said you weren't using the Boya system right now! What the??? Also I think if you are reviewing a dual wireless system it would've been more convincing if you were outdoors with the transmitters attached to two individuals and the receiver picking up how everything sounds in real life situations.
Hay Nick, nice video. I found your video very good and helpful. I have an issue and wonder if I've missed something. I purchased my set recently and have set it up as stereo. Here is my dilemma. Setting it up as stereo, I wanted to be able to monitor both of the inputs seperately from two different talents. Therefore, if they speak at the same time, I can seperate them in post. Here is my problem; after setting up my system, I plug my headphones into the receiver and sure enough each transmitter I hear from the left or right channel. However, as soon as I plug in the XLR output cable into the receivers line out, I now hear one channel going through the left and right. Also, when I plug in the 3.5mm mini plug cable instead (with my headphones still plugged into the receiver), I can hear the left and right seperately. But, when I then plug the other end of the mini plug into a mixer, camera or device, either laveller mikes now go through the left and right channels. i.e. mono. Am I doing something wrong? I really need the channels going through the left and right seperately. Hope you can help. Regards George George Elliott Photography

you have to take in to consideration that an XLR cable is always monophonic, so in a case like this its better if you use the TRS jack if you want to record in an stereo fashion the distance is way to short either way to really need the benefits of a balanced XLR cable. but if you want something like that, you can create a TRS jack to Double XLR cable, its not very difficult.
