Sennheiser Profile Wireless now with Bluetooth connectivity

15/04/2026

Latest firmware update has the all-in-one microphone system connect directly to compatible smartphones

Sydney, Australia, 15 April 2026 – Great news for all owners of a one-channel or two-channel Profile Wireless set: the latest firmware update v 5.0.0 adds Bluetooth functionality to the compact microphone system. Creating a minimalist recording set-up, the clip-on mic can be directly paired with mobile phones, laptops or tablets that offer high-quality Bluetooth LE Audio (LC3 codec) or Bluetooth Classic.

“The free firmware update unlocks new possibilities, enabling creators to eliminate the receiver between the Profile Wireless clip-on mic and their mobile phone. This clears the smartphone connector for other usage and makes the set-up as compact as possible,” says product manager Hendrik Millauer.

With the latest firmware update v 5.0.0, the Profile Wireless clip-on mic can be directly paired with a mobile phone via Bluetooth LE Audio or Bluetooth Classic, depending on the model

As usual, the clip-on mic can be fitted with an external lavalier mic, creating a very unobtrusive miking solution. Connecting an external microphone will automatically disable the built-in mic.

The clip-on mic can also be used as a mini-transmitter for an unobtrusive external lavalier mic

A word on audio quality

“For highest audio quality, the Profile Wireless receiver is a must,” shares Millauer. “LE Audio with LC3 will provide creators with good audio quality and latency for any recording where ease of use and compactness are paramount. With a Bluetooth Classic connection, broad compatibility to smart devices and laptops is given but users will have to sacrifice some of the quality that the future-proof Bluetooth LE Audio offers today.”

The new firmware version v 5.0.0 can be downloaded from the Profile Wireless product page, while the online manual has been updated with information on the Bluetooth mode.
