Great comparison. I really liked how the Rode Wireless GO II sounded.

[JimSmithBrazil]

The lapel mic was really good because if you moved the stick at all your voice volume changed. No matter what you did the lapel was always in the same spot so your voice never changed in volume.

I think Rode really has some simple easy setup products even their desktop mices are some of the best around.

[Daddyezee]

the Lav go gave you more bass inm your voice and the intervieww did the same im buying the intervie now as it sounds good as long as the mic is close to the mouth

[tedcatranis]

Good comparison. For me, it might be the Go. I have little high mid coming through and some s-ing. The Go seems to be less likely to pick up the extra s-ing that I have.

I actually thought the Interview Go sounded the best
