Boya Launches BoyaMic 2 And BoyaLink 3 Wireless Microphones With Enhanced AI
The market for wireless microphones is on fire right now and it reminds me of how the wireless earphone market of five or six years ago was taking off. Driving the demand for wireless microphones is the explosion in content creation for social media networks like TikTok and Instagram. Videos with poor-quality sound captured on the built-in microphone of a smartphone don't always fare well in terms of views, no matter how good the images are.
One of the growing brands in the wireless microphone space is Boya, a company that competes with the likes of DJI, Saramonic, RØDE and Sennheiser. Last month, Saramonic launched a high-end UHF wireless microphone system for professional videographers and filmmakers and this month it's Boya's turn to focus on the consumer market with the launch of two new wireless microphone kits.
Both wireless microphone product launches from Boya include AI-enhanced audio, enabling content creators to capture a higher-quality of sound for their videos. The first release from Boya is the new BoyaMic 2 which is the brand's latest flagship consumer wireless microphone system.
The BoyaMic 2 is the company's flagship wireless mic and includes two transmitters with 32-bit float ... More recording and 8GB of local storage.
The BoyaMic 2 targets consumer and professional production environments where dynamic range, audio fidelity and reliability are essential. The BoyaMic 2 uses true AI noise cancellation with a reduction of unwanted background sound by up to 40dB.
The two transmitter units contain a 32-bit float onboard recorder with 8GB of built-in storage, enabling them to capture distortion-free sound across extreme volume ranges without the need to manually set or alter input levels. This feature is particularly useful when filming scenes where there are unpredictable sound levels.
While the BoyaMic 2 kit has two transmitters and a receiver, it supports multi-transmitter and multi-receiver configurations up to 2TX-4RX, providing scalable options for solo operators using multi-cam setups for live streaming. With a 90dB signal-to-noise ratio, automatic gain control, limiter, safety backup track and a wireless range of up to 300 meters, the BoyaMic 2 promises to bring affordable studio-grade sound creators shooting on location.
The BoyaMic 2 receiver has a vibrant screen showing the status of each microphone transmitter. The ... More kit also includes two Lavalier external mics.
The second new Boya product launching today is the BoyaLink 3, a compact wireless microphone kit for content creators on a budget. While the BoyaMic 2 is aimed more at the professional market, BoyaLink 3 brings Boya's AI noise reduction technology to a wider audience with two transmitters and a single receiver.
Built into both the button-sized microphone transmitters is the ability to capture 48kHz/24-bit audio with an 85dB signal-to-noise ratio and triple distortion protection. The Link 3 system is aimed at journalists, travel vloggers and casual streamers who want better quality audio but with the ease of plug-and-play simplicity.
The BoyaLink 3 has real-time monitoring through a 3.5mm headphone jack, plus cross-platform compatibility thanks to a choice of USB-C, Lightning and TRS connectors and yet each button mic weighs just 9g. EQ tuning is customizable by using the Boya Central smartphone app and a full charge of the BoyaLink 3 can provide up to 30 hours of use before it needs recharging.
The compact BoyaLink 3 is made for content creators on a budget. The little button mics weight just ... More 9g and the who kit can slip into a pocket.
The BoyaLink 3 brings Boya's noise-reduction technology to a wider audience with AI-powered noise cancellation from a groundbreaking AI chip powered by deep neural network algorithms. Developed by the Boya Acoustic Algorithm Engineering Team after three years of research and more than 20,000 hours of deep learning on a database of over 700,000 real-time noise samples.
Both the BoyaMic 2 and BoyaLink 3 can cut noise by up to 40dB. The result is a sound quality that offers content creators more professional audio capture that eliminates many of the usual challenges posed by unwanted ambient noise when shooting.
Boya says that the launch of the BoyaMic 2 and BoyaLink 3 reflects the company's strategic focus on refining audio solutions for content creators. Rather than adopting a one-size-fits-all approach, the company has tweaked its product lineup to cater to both the growing technical demands of professional production and the accessibility and affordability needs of content creators on location.
By embedding advanced AI algorithms into both its flagship and entry-level devices, Boya says it wants to make high-fidelity and intelligent audio capture more accessible to content creators.
The BoyaMic 2 will be priced between $100 to $200, depending on configuration. The BoyaLink 3 will be priced at $75 to $120, with both products officially available from May 14, 2025.

FBI Warning—Do Not Reply To These Texts On Your Smartphone
American smartphones are under attack from malicious text messages. This industrial scale campaign is driven by organized criminal gangs in China, well beyond the reach of U.S. law enforcement. If you do succumb to an unpaid toll, DMV or Amazon refund text, your phone, your data and even your identity could be at risk. But there's a different wave of text attacks now targeting phones, and it's harder to detect. These messages do not pretend to come from a DMV or bank or retailer, but from someone you know. There's no link to click. The attacker just wants you to reply. The FBI's warning is clear. 'Verify the identity of the person calling you or sending text or voice messages" before you reply.' If the text shows up on your phone with the usual contact details you'd expect, then it's fine. The issue is where the sender is unknown. If that's the case, the FBI says, 'before responding, research the originating number, organization, and/or person purporting to contact you. Then independently identify a phone number for the person and call to verify their authenticity.' The team at MalwareBytes has just published a useful report on these 'innocent' texts that are anything but. 'All the messages are carefully crafted to seem plausible—so you don't immediately feel suspicious — and short — to trigger your curiosity.' The text may a single word, a 'hey' or a 'hello.' Or it might be a message that appears to either be a wrong number or a lost contact or a continuation of a thread you've started elsewhere. It doesn't matter what lure is used. Once you reply, even if it's just to inform the sender they have the wrong number then you fall into the trap. The lure could be more specific, 'a doctor's appointment, a social event, a funeral, a hospital visit, a message after a long absence,' but the objective is the same. The end result could be financial scam such as a crypto investment, or a romance scam where the by-chance encounter with a wrong number seems to lead to more, or that could escalate into a sextortion scam, if the exchange includes sharing images. As the FBI explains, 'the scammers behind the fake wrong-number text messages are counting on you to continue the conversation. They want to exploit your friendliness. Once they've made a connection, they'll work to become friends or even cultivate a remote romantic relationship.' And while 'they're posing as regular people who entered the wrong numbers on their phones,' in reality these 'fake wrong-number text scams use extremely sophisticated technology to commit their crimes.' The FTC reports that 'losses to text scams hit $470 million' last year, including 'wrong number scams that start as a seemingly misdirected message," but which 'evolve into a conversation with romantic undertones that can lead to investment and other scams.' McAfee warns 'these messages may seem harmless, but they're often the first step in long-game scams designed to steal personal data—or even life savings.' And they're surging, with '1 in 4 Americans having received one.' At any point you 'believe you are a victim of a scam,' the FBI tells phone users, 'end all communication with the perpetrator' immediately and contact law enforcement.

Chinese state media says Nvidia H20 chips not safe for China
BEIJING (Reuters) -Nvidia's H20 chips pose security concerns for China, a social media account affiliated with China's state media said on Sunday, after Beijing raised concerns over backdoor access in those chips. The H20 chips are also not technologically advanced or environmentally friendly, the account, Yuyuan Tantian, which is affiliated with state broadcaster CCTV, said in an article published on WeChat. "When a type of chip is neither environmentally friendly, nor advanced, nor safe, as consumers, we certainly have the option not to buy it," the article concluded. Nvidia did not immediately respond to a request for comment. H20 artificial intelligence chips were developed by Nvidia for the Chinese market after the U.S. imposed export restrictions on advanced AI chips in late 2023. The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump banned their sales in April amid escalating trade tensions with China, but reversed the ban in July. China's cyberspace watchdog said on July 31 that it had summoned Nvidia to a meeting, asking the U.S. chipmaker to explain whether its H20 chips had any backdoor security risks - a hidden method of bypassing normal authentication or security controls. Nvidia later said its products had no "backdoors" that would allow remote access or control. In its article, Yuyuan Tantian said Nvidia chips could achieve functions including "remote shutdown" through a hardware "backdoor." Yuyuan Tantian's comment followed criticism against Nvidia by People's Daily, another Chinese state media outlet. In a commentary earlier this month, People's Daily said Nvidia must produce "convincing security proofs" to eliminate Chinese users' worries over security risks in its chips and regain market trust.
