Micro

A wireless microphone obviously gives you more freedom of movement, which is handy if you're doing presentations or performances. It’s also less cluttered because there are no cables in the way. The downside is that wireless microphones can be more sensitive to interference and you often need to replace the batteries.

A wired microphone generally offers more stable sound quality and doesn’t need batteries, but it’s less flexible because you’re tethered to the cable. It’s a good choice if you’re looking for reliable and consistent sound quality, for example for recordings or livestreams.
