Hollyland has introduced the Solidcom SE Pro, the latest version of their wireless intercom system, designed for teams who need clear, reliable communication on set, at live events, or in other professional settings. It builds on the original SE model with improvements to connection stability, sound quality, and ease of use, making it a practical option for crews working in challenging environments. Let’s look at the details.
Hollyland is a Chinese company known for their popular wireless audio gear. We recently covered their LARK MAX2, which also received our CineD Best-of-Show award in the category Audio Equipment, alongside Saramonic’s K9 system.
The Solidcom SE Pro uses the 1.9GHz frequency band, which helps limit interference and keeps latency low. This should be particularly useful when shooting outdoors or in environments where coordination across roles is constant and critical. It supports up to eleven users in multi-channel, full-duplex mode, so everyone can talk and listen simultaneously without needing to press a button.
Notably, the system has a range of up to 400 meters (1312 feet) and uses frequency hopping to avoid interference from nearby devices. The omnidirectional antenna keeps the signal stable even if the headset is worn in reverse, which can be useful for crews on large sets, at outdoor locations, or during events where quick adjustments and movement are part of the workflow. The company points out that this can also be useful in maritime settings or seaside shoots where wind and damp conditions can complicate communication.
The SE Pro includes ENC (environmental noise cancellation), which can help improve clarity in loud environments. A USB-C to 3.5mm adapter lets users plug in their own headphones while wearing the unit around the neck (listening only – users still need to speak via the headset mic). It’s a simple workaround for anyone who finds full headsets uncomfortable over long periods.
Each headset ships with two batteries. Battery life depends on the setup: remote headsets run for over 10 hours with noise cancellation (always enabled); the master headset lasts over 5 hours when paired with five remotes, and around 3 to 3.5 hours when running ten. All headsets support USB-C charging and battery swapping, and you’ll get a low battery alert when power runs low.
A power bank can be connected during use, which helps avoid downtime. The units come pre-paired, so setup is minimal. The headset also supports push-to-talk (PTT): tap to switch between mute and talk, or long-press to enter PTT mode.
The Solidcom SE Pro is available now in five configurations:

A camera was put in my hands at 16, and I’ve been taking photographs ever since. Before moving to Vienna, I worked as a photographer on film sets, telling stories as they unfolded behind the scenes. Since then, I’ve focused on immersive theater, both as a photographer and an actor. I am the photographer for the award-winning Nesterval ensemble, documenting the energy and atmosphere of their performances. I’m a teller of stories. Stories hold my interest. I’ll take on any project with a story to tell.
