The Godox Cube-S is a Tiny Wireless Mic with Big Range and Battery Life

Godox has introduced a new wireless microphone system designed for content creators on the go—the Godox Cube-S, with prices ranging from $54.99 and $119. Available in both single and dual-transmitter kits, this system comes in two versions: one for Lightning (iPhones) and another for USB-C (Android devices).

Despite its compact design, the Cube-S offers an impressive 300-meter range, which is more than sufficient for most users’ recording needs. If it performs well over that distance, it should have no trouble handling shorter, more practical ranges.

The system delivers high-quality 48KHz 24-bit audio, transmitting directly to the receiver, which in turn plugs into your smartphone. However, there’s no internal recording on the transmitters themselves—it’s purely a wireless system that relies on your phone for capturing the audio. Let’s also acknowledge how this is a step up to recording from your smartphone.

As far as battery life goes, the transmitters offer up to 10 hours of use on a single charge, and the charging case holds enough power to fully charge the transmitters twice more. This feature makes it a solid choice for mobile filmmakers, vloggers, and interviewers who need reliable equipment that lasts throughout the day. The inclusion of this charging case, which provides up to 30 hours of usage—also makes it perfect for long recording sessions.

Now let’s talk about the design of the case. It’s capsule-shaped and holds both the receiver and the transmitters. While the transmitters lack TRS sockets for Lavalier microphones, their small size makes them ideal for clipping directly onto clothing, while staying discreet. The Godox Cube-S transmitters are also incredibly lightweight, weighing just 7 grams each. This low weight ensures they won’t tug or distort your clothing when worn—you may just even forget that you’re wearing one!

With its small size and lightweight, you may be concerned about misplacing the Godox Cube-S, but fear not! A convenient feature made for iPhone users is its compatibility with Apple’s “Find My” service. This means if you misplace the Cube-S, you can easily track it using your phone, ensuring you don’t lose your gear during a busy shoot. For Android users, while the Find My service isn’t available, the USB-C compatibility ensures a seamless connection to most Android devices, making the system versatile across platforms.

The Godox Cube-S wireless microphone system is set to be available for pre-order soon. Pricing is competitive, with the single microphone kit starting at $54.99 for USB-C and $69.99 for the Lightning version. The dual-microphone kits are priced at $109 for USB-C and $119 for Lightning.
