Gain Control For BOYA Magic?

I can’t find the gain slider when attaching the app to the device. I was able to update filter quite easily, but grain adjustment is pretty important and directions say “use the app”.

Low cost low result

The instructions are incredibly cryptic. I had two prior devices that would never get the greenlight showing pairing. In addition, even after pairing, (green indicator) it does not show on the volume indicator app that it’s receiving signal. Highly intermittent—as a professional speaker. I need something more reliable I never want to see this product again.

Does not work

I tried this on an iPhone 16 iOS 26 with both v2 and v3. It never recognized the receiver. I tried to obtain help online - no solution. I tried to get live help. Gave up after 2 hours. Internet search for answers found the same issue even with android devices. Also no solution. The microphone works, the app simply does not. Zero customer service response.

Exactly as advertised

Immediately pairs to the mic straight out of the box and gives good manual control options over various audio settings.

Mic doesn’t work, app doesn’t help

Mix doesn’t appear to be collatible with iPhone 17, which will not register the Rx when plugged in. Will be returning to Amazon, 10x10 do not recommend.

iPhone Facebook Live issue

I am using a BOYA Mini 2 with an iPhone 16 Pro Max. The microphone works perfectly in the native Camera app, and videos record with clear audio. However, when I start a Facebook Live session, the app fails to route audio from the BOYA microphone and instead uses the phone’s internal microphone.

I have already tried reconnecting the receiver, restarting the phone, reopening Facebook, and changing recording modes, but the issue remains. Since the microphone works correctly in other apps, this appears to be a compatibility or audio-routing issue.

Please improve compatibility with Facebook Live and provide clearer troubleshooting guidance for iPhone users. The microphone hardware is excellent, but this software issue significantly affects the user experience.

USB-c Not recognized by app

I tried connecting the magic mike USB-c to my iPhone to do the firmware upgrade using a usb-c to iPhone adapter cable. The BOYA app never saw the BOYA receiver so I could never update the firmware. I tried several different usb-c to iPhone cables and it never worked.

What for this app needs internet?!

The app need LAN or WiFi connection to internet to activate the microphones. What for? After the mics turned on and connected to app you can turn the internet off and they are go on working.

Requires solid internet connection

Functioned as expected until I tried to record and interview in a National Park and could not use the microphones because the app requires an internet connection. I later tested and saw its streaming data to their servers. So recordings are not private. And could very likely be by Chinese intelligence.

Mic and connection

I bought this for making vids on yt and I got the wrong port for my phone (16e). Then I bought the usb c and it works but now I am not sure how to pair the other two that I have with the usb c. So now I have 1 working mic for my 16e and 2 others that I can’t use. Also the app doesn’t connect

TRASH

Absolute trash app

No privacy

I am returning the Boya 2 mini. After reading the privacy policy and terms of use, I found that there is no way to adjust the cookie preferences without losing the functionality that I paid for. Furthermore, it was abundantly clear that they would share my personal info to all of their 2nd and 3rd party partners and affiliates. No thanks.

Poor directions

Nothing indicates how to pare or how to tell if your receiver is working
There is no light on the receiver to show its pared as directions indicated
Noise cancellation is also power button same number of clicks turn both on and off
Nothing in description indicates Lighting cable is needed for receiver to fit in phone - using lightening cable adapter to connect doesnt work

I could go on

¿Porque obligarte a usar conexión a internet?

Muy mala aplicación mal optimizada, sobre todo no entiendo porque sin conexión a internet no puede funcionar una aplicación que sirve para controlar un micrófono inalámbrico.
