Digitek DWM-116 Review: Price in India, How to Use and Is It Worth It?

Your phone's camera is probably better than you think. Its microphone isn't. Put the phone on a tripod two metres away, start talking, and the first things you hear on playback are the ceiling fan, the traffic outside and that hollow echo every room has. Your voice comes somewhere after that.

The Digitek DWM-116 is built to fix exactly that. It's a 2-in-1 wireless microphone, two collar mics and one receiver, that plugs straight into your phone. At ₹3,699 it sits right in the price range most first-time creators are actually shopping in. In this Digitek DWM-116 review we cover the price, what's in the box, how to use it, how it sounds, and who should (and shouldn't) buy it.

Digitek DWM-116 unboxing: what's in the box

We unboxed the DWM-116 on camera, so if you'd rather see it than read about it, the reel is below.

Here's what you get: two transmitters (the mics you wear), one receiver, a charging case, two furry windshields, a 3.5mm cable for cameras, a USB-C to USB-C cable, a USB-C to Lightning adapter for older iPhones, and the manual.

Digitek's own product photos leave out the windshields and the camera cable, but as you can see in our reel, both are in the box. That's useful at this price: you don't have to buy either separately.

The mics are small round pucks, not the long rectangular kind. They mount with a magnetic plate: the plate goes behind your shirt and the magnet holds the mic on the front. No clip dragging the neckline down, and no pinching thin fabric. On camera, that matters more than you'd think.

The charging case is the part people end up liking most. The mics and receiver drop into it between takes, it has a small display showing its charge level, and it means you aren't hunting for three separate cables at the end of a shoot.

Sound quality and noise cancellation: does it beat your phone's mic?

Yes, and the reason is simple: distance. Your phone's mic sits wherever the phone is, usually an arm's length or more from your mouth. A collar mic sits about a hand's width below your chin. Your voice arrives loud and close, and the room arrives quiet and far away. Most of the "clear audio" you hear in good Reels comes from this, not from expensive gear.

Digitek calls its feature noise reduction, though most people search for it as noise cancellation. Either way, it's good at taking the edge off steady sounds like fan hum, AC noise and general room hiss. It won't erase a bus horn or a pressure cooker whistle, and nothing at this price will.

The mics are omnidirectional, so they pick up sound from every side. That's forgiving when you turn your head mid-sentence, and it's why placement matters. Clip the mic in the centre of your chest, close to your collar, and keep it clear of necklaces, dupattas and jacket zips that rub against it.

Shooting outdoors? Put the furry windshields on. Wind hitting a bare mic makes a low rumble that ruins a take, and those fluffy covers cut most of it.

Two mics is where it earns its price

A single-mic kit is fine if it's only ever you talking to the camera. The moment there's a second person, you need a second mic, and that's where the DWM-116 makes sense:

• Reels making and mobile vlogging. Talk to the camera from across the room and still sound close.
• Interviews and street vox pops. One mic on you, one on the guest. No more holding the phone out like a recorder.
• Couple and duo Reels. Both voices come through at a similar level instead of one person sounding far away.
• Podcasts on a budget. Two people at a table, one phone, both wearing a lavalier mic.
• YouTube videos and product demos. You explain the product while a customer or colleague asks questions on camera.
• Online classes and coaching. Teacher and student, or two trainers, without a cable running between them.

Both mics send to the same receiver, so there's nothing to sync in editing. You record once in your camera app and the audio is already there.

One thing to know if you're a teacher: the DWM-116 is a collar mic for recording video, not for a classroom speaker or amplifier. For online classes recorded on a phone it works well. For making your voice louder in a physical classroom, you need a different kind of mic.

How to use the Digitek DWM-116

Setup takes about a minute:

1. Charge everything in the case first. Give it a full charge before the first shoot.
2. Plug the receiver into your phone. USB-C phones (most Android phones, and iPhone 15, 16 and 17) take it directly. For a Lightning iPhone like the iPhone 13 or 14, put the Lightning adapter on the receiver first.
3. Take the mics out of the case. They come paired with the receiver, and the indicator lights on each mic show you when they're connected.
4. Mount the mics with the magnetic plate behind your shirt.
5. Record 10 seconds and listen back with earphones before the real take. It's a habit worth keeping with any mic.

No app, no account, no Bluetooth pairing menu.

Digitek mic not working? Check these first

Most "my mic isn't working" problems with plug-in wireless mics come down to a handful of things:

• Battery. Put the mics and receiver back in the case for a few minutes, then try again.
• Loose connection. A thick phone cover can stop the receiver going all the way into the port. Take the cover off and push the receiver in fully. On a Lightning iPhone, check the adapter is firmly seated on both ends.
• OTG turned off. Some Android phones have an OTG setting that has to be on before USB devices work. Search "OTG" in your phone's settings.
• The app isn't using the external mic. Close the app completely, plug the receiver in first, then open the app again and record a test.

Battery and range in real use

Battery: about 6 hours of continuous use per mic is more than most people need in a day. A typical Reels session is a few hours with breaks. If the mics go back into the case between setups, the case tops them up, and for a long day like a wedding, college fest or workshop you can keep going well past the 6-hour mark. Digitek quotes up to 24 hours including top-ups from the case.

Range: the 40m figure is for open space with a clear line between mic and receiver. Walls, people and your own body all cut that down, and Digitek itself says around 20m with obstacles. In practice you'll rarely be more than a few metres from the phone, so range isn't something you'll worry about for normal shoots.

Can you use the DWM-116 as a camera microphone?

Yes. The box includes a 3.5mm camera cable, so you can connect the receiver to a DSLR or mirrorless camera that has a 3.5mm microphone input. Look for a small socket marked with a mic symbol, usually on the side of the camera.

Two tips for camera use. Set the camera's audio level manually instead of leaving it on auto, so it doesn't pump up the background when you pause. And record a short test, then play it back with earphones, before the real shoot. If you're not sure your camera has a mic input, message us the model and we'll check.

The honest downsides

• It's not made for loud streets. Indoors, in a café, or in a quiet lane, it's very good for the price. Next to heavy traffic, the background still comes through. The windshields deal with wind, but no cover can block traffic noise, so move a few steps away from the road and keep your back to it.
• Your camera needs a mic input. Camera use works through the 3.5mm cable, so it only works on cameras that have a 3.5mm microphone socket. Some entry-level cameras don't.
• It's an entry-level kit. If you need pro features for paid client work, you're looking at kits that cost several times more. For most creators starting out, that's money better spent on lights or a lens later.

Is it the best wireless mic under ₹4,000?

For phone creators who need two mics, we think it's one of the most sensible picks around this price. You get two mics, a charging case, windshields for outdoor shoots, a camera cable and both USB-C and Lightning connections for ₹3,699. That covers phone and camera use without buying anything extra.

If your budget is closer to ₹2,000, look at the Digitek DWM 103 Mini 2-in-1. If you can stretch to around ₹4,000, the Digitek DWM-101 Mini is another option. Or browse all our wireless microphones to compare.

Who should buy the Digitek DWM-116?

Buy it if you shoot on your phone, you're starting a channel or a page, you film interviews or two-person content, or you've simply had enough of your audio sounding like it was recorded in a bathroom. At ₹3,699 for two mics with a charging case, it's an easy upgrade to justify.

Skip it if most of your content is recorded on busy roads, or you need a pro-level setup for paid client work. If you're still deciding between shooting on a phone or a camera, our iPhone 17 vs Sony ZV-E10 guide covers that choice, and either way a clip-on mic is the first add-on we'd buy.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Digitek DWM-116 price in India?

₹3,699 at Royale Stores, with free delivery across India and Partial Cash on Delivery available.

Is the Digitek DWM-116 a good wireless mic for mobile?

Yes. It's designed for phones: the receiver plugs into the charging port and there's no app to set up. For Reels, vlogs, interviews and YouTube videos shot on a phone, it's a big step up from the phone's built-in mic.

Does the Digitek DWM-116 work with iPhone?

Yes. iPhone 15, 16 and 17 have USB-C, so the receiver plugs straight in. For older iPhones with a Lightning port, such as the iPhone 13 and 14, use the Lightning adapter that comes in the box.

Does it work with Android phones?

It works with USB-C Android phones that support external USB audio, which covers most phones sold in the last few years. If you're unsure about your model, send us the model name on WhatsApp at +91 89289 86835 and we'll check.

Does the DWM-116 have noise cancellation?

It has a noise reduction function on the transmitters that cuts steady background sounds like fans and AC hum. For wind, use the furry windshields that come in the box. It won't remove loud traffic.

Can two people use it at the same time?

Yes. The kit has two mics that both send to one receiver, so two people can be recorded at once.

How do I use the Digitek DWM-116?

Charge it, plug the receiver into your phone, take the mics out of the case and clip them on. They come paired, so you can start recording straight away. The full steps are in the "How to use" section above.

Why is my Digitek mic not working?

Usually it's a low battery, a phone cover stopping the receiver going in fully, OTG switched off on Android, or the app not picking up the external mic. See the checklist above, or message us on WhatsApp.

How long does the battery last?

About 6 hours of continuous use per mic. The charging case tops them up between takes, and a full charge of the case takes around 3.5 hours.

Can I use it with a DSLR or mirrorless camera?

Yes, if your camera has a 3.5mm microphone input. Connect the receiver with the 3.5mm cable that comes in the box. If you're not sure about your camera, message us the model and we'll check.
