Right from opening up the compact travel case for the Sennheiser Profile Wireless microphone, you know you’re getting something no-nonsense from the audio tech company.
Sennheiser Profile Wireless—also sold as a single microphone unit for even more on-the-go users—has two clip-on mics, a 2-channel receiver and all packed into a brick of a charging bar that can you could also use as one big microphone.
I got to put this to use at home for recording videos, with the receiver hooked up via USB-C to a phone and one mic in hand, like you would see in most creator content these days. Another test for the Sennheiser Profile Wireless system took place at Ziro Festival 2025 in Arunachal, recording audio-only artist interviews as well as audio tracks while video was being captured by a separate crew.
As a complete novice to the world of wireless microphones, I had only recently begun seeing these new, tiny devices held by or clipped on to subjects in Reels. It made me question how it wasn’t only creators who were investing in pro gear, but also anyone who just had something to say.
In its first run at home, the ease of use was immediately apparent, with the mics immediately syncing to the wireless receiver (no app required) and helpful LED bars indicating output levels and battery remaining in each clip-on mic as well as the receiver itself. Hearing the audio back, there was unblemished clarity that can go a long way, given that most people watching video content these days are using earphones or headphones, where voice quality matters.


Out at Ziro Festival, a quick start-up was essential when interviews were falling in place on the fly. Backstage, you had about 10-15 minutes between performances, after which it would get too loud for any mic to capture interviews coherently. After a couple of buttons are (long) pressed, the Sennheiser Profile Wireless was ready to go, sturdy as ever. Mics are meant to be tiny and handy, so for any first-time users, this was a lesson in making sure you had a good grip on them. Or you could just clip them on even using the magnets provided for a stress-free recording session.
As a journalist, the added bonus is being able to use the Sennheiser Profile Wireless for regular interviews, because each mic also has an in-built storage of 16GB, which allows for about 30 hours of audio in 24 Bit/48 kHz quality. Even without syncing it to anything, the mic was a ready-to-use audio recorder for interviews if you just powered it on, even without the receiver. On the other hand, if you have the receiver and want to trigger the recording for the mics, you can do it remotely by double-tapping on the mic on the display.


Beyond that, there are USB-C wires for charging and output, an audio jack in case you need to listen in and do a quick soundcheck before recording and monitoring for when recording is on. These are standard offerings for any professional wireless microphone system, so these add-ons tell us Sennheiser mean business. More uniquely, the charging bar allows for charging three devices—the two mics and the receiver—and can be used while charging. It takes about 3 hours for a full charge.
At ₹24,930 on Amazon, the Sennheiser Profile Wireless may not exactly be in the price range for beginners, but the single-channel set at ₹16,490 is also an option. It’s an investment for those in need of reliable gear from a trusted name. If you do need anything in a lower price bracket, there are always brands like Digitek that are geared toward entry-level users and won’t exactly compare. The Sennnheiser Profile Wireless, however, immediately conveys you’re pro, whether it’s for podcasting, filmmaking, short content video or live recordings.
