Kickstarter alumni BOYA Magic is a wireless mic that can seamlessly adapt to four configurations: lavalier, handheld, desktop, and on-camera.
BOYA has officially launched BOYA Magic, billing it slightly hyperbolically as "the world’s first AI-powered, shape-shifting wireless microphone." Is a Transformer genuinely a Shape-Shifter is a discussion for another time, but either way, following a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter that raised $300k in backing from over 2500 supporters within a few weeks, BOYA Magic is now available globally through official retail channels.
BOYA Magic builds on the audio technology behind BOYAMIC 2 and BOYALINK 3, but what provided BOYA Magic with its traction on Kickstarter is a transformable design that eliminates the need for multiple microphones. The 13mm-thin, 7g / 0.25 oz device seamlessly adapts to four configurations: lavalier, handheld, desktop, and on-camera. That means that whether you’re live streaming on a phone, interviewing on the street, recording a podcast at your desk, or filming on a DSLR, BOYA Magic adjusts instantly with no setup delays and no gear switching.
In clip-on lavalier mode, it offers a nearly invisible solution for clean voice pickup. The charging case doubles as a handheld stick mic, allowing users to start recording with a single tap—without ever removing the transmitter. As a desktop mic, it provides balanced 360° pickup for podcasting and remote meetings. And then mounted on a camera’s cold shoe, it transforms into a compact shotgun-style mic ideal for quick field shoots.
It records at 48kHz/24-bit, captures a wide 144 dB dynamic range, and features real-time AI noise cancellation powered by a deep neural network (DNNs) chip trained on over 700,000 noise samples. Two adjustable modes—Strong (up to -40 dB) and Light (up to -15 dB)—let users tailor voice isolation based on the environment. A built-in smart limiter and -12 dB safety backup track offer added protection, preserving clean takes even under challenging conditions.
Each transmitter offers up to 6 hours of battery life, while the included charging case extends total operation to 30 hours. For creators seeking more control, the BOYA Central app provides mobile access to noise cancellation settings, EQ presets, gain adjustment, and more.
BOYA Magic is available now starting from $90, through official BOYA partners and retailers worldwide.
