Overall Impression

The Boya BY-M1DM is a budget dual lavalier microphone popular with vloggers, sometimes even appearing in cheap mystery box deals. Several viewers say they chose it over the single-mic Boya BY-M1 to help grow their channels. One user reports loving it for close-up recording. Another commenter who tested it says the results are good overall, though they mention having some downsides without detailing them. The most common thread across comments is confusion about how the dual mics actually record. People repeatedly ask whether each mic gets its own discrete channel. Others ask whether the output is stereo or a merged mono track, and whether individual channels can be edited afterward. No comment offers a clear confirmed answer, leaving buyers uncertain about this core dual-mic feature.

Frequently criticized

Multiple commenters ask whether the two mics record to separate left/right channels, a single stereo track, or a merged mono track, and whether each channel can be edited individually. None of the comments confirm a clear answer, showing widespread confusion about this core feature.

@WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot-q9b

Would it be possible to record in split channel? Like the other mic only record left channel and the other one only records the right channel?

@MustafaAknar

Does this record each mic into its own channel in stereo? I'm asking because if only one person is going to use it, it would be easy to cancel out the other channel in case it picks up unwanted noise. But if the output is mono or even if it is stereo but combined, it would be impossible for 1 person to use it.

• Each Mic Routes to Discrete Channel ?????????????????? is this true? i think it isn't

@sirjohnmichael

So does the left and right import as two channels or one stereo track? Or just one mono track of both channels merged?

@akshayparab4226

Can you connect it to an iPhone which doesn't have a headphone jack?
