Blink500 Pro vs. Lark 150: Live Review of Saramonic and Hollyland Wireless Mic Systems

In this livestream, we do a high-level review of the Saramonic Blink500 Pro and Hollyland Lark 500 wireless microphone systems. Both systems support two transmitters/microphones for each receiver, are priced near $300 USD, and have very small 2.4GHz wireless transmitters. In this review, I'll provide audio samples, evaluate the sound quality, show an outdoor distance test, and I'll give you my recommendations.
