Lelo Mia 2 vs Magic Wand Micro Side-By-Side Comparison
Performance Ratings
Our Verdict
The Lelo Mia 2 can be a good bullet vibrator if you prefer gentle stimulation and are overwhelmed by intense vibrations. It provides a ton of power levels, all in the low-intensity range.
If you prefer more power, the We-Vibe Tango X, the Lovense Ambi, or the We-Vibe Touch X are better options in this price range. These are each more powerful than the Mia 2 and also have some (though fewer) mild settings. I personally prefer these since I enjoy the intensity and only need gentle levels while warming up.
Except for its lack of powerful settings, the Mia 2 has great performance. It’s comfortable, easy to use solo or during sex, and it’s quiet. So if you strictly prefer mild stimulation, it can work well since it has the most concentration of settings in the gentle range.
The Magic Wand Micro is a decent mini vibrator, but it’s mostly fun because it’s a cute, tiny version of the larger Magic Wands. Otherwise, its performance is generally good, with a couple of important downsides to consider.
Mainly, the Magic Wand Micro’s power range is narrow. Every setting is moderately intense – nothing very gentle or super strong. My favorite mini vibrators are more powerful than the Micro (and it’s much milder than the full-sized Magic Wands if that’s what you’re expecting). It also lacks a waterproof rating, so it’s harder to clean than most mini vibrators.
Apart from those aspects, it’s great. The plush head is super comfortable. And its cylindrical shape lets you vary the stimulation from precise (using the lip) to broad (using the side). It’s quiet, has a long battery life, and has good rumbliness.
If you like the idea of a tiny Magic Wand, it’s a fun vibrator. If you don’t care about that, a mini vibrator with a wider power range like the We-Vibe Touch X or Lovense Ambi is probably a better choice.

Vibrations: Power And Range
The Lelo Mia 2 has a very soft power range, which can be good or bad depending on your needs. Its first power starts at 0.1 out of 10 for vibration strength, which is the gentlest of all my bullet vibrators. There are 12 power settings in total, with the top strength reaching only 3.25 out of 10.
This means you have lots of small, incremental power steps to enjoy within that gentle range. Making the Mia 2 a nice option for those who are easily overstimulated and who need lots of soft vibrations without too much intensity. I can orgasm with the top strength of the Mia 2, but it definitely takes some effort.
I like more power personally, and those who want intensity will prefer other options in a comparable price range. For instance, the Lovense Ambi and We-Vibe Touch X each reach closer to an 8 out of 10 on high and begin softly at 1.5 and 2.5 out of 10 on low. So you still have gentler strengths for warming up, but you also have the option to crank up the intensity.
The Magic Wand Micro has 3 power levels in a very tight range – they’re all mid-powered. The lowest setting is a 4.5 out of 10 strength, and the highest is 5.5 (on a scale compared to other mini and bullet vibrators). Compared to the larger Magic Wands, the Micro is substantially weaker.
The Micro has enough strength for me to orgasm, but it takes some effort. Some days, it feels just right, and others, I want a little more power. When I’m going for a second “O,” I definitely need more strength.
Its narrow power range is the Magic Wand Micro’s biggest drawback. Since the Micro’s range is so limited, it’s hard to predict whether it will suit your preferences. Plus, many people need gentle levels while warming up and intense levels to finish. Mini vibrators with a broader power range are simply more versatile.
If you typically need both gentle and intense levels, the We-Vibe Touch X or Lovense Ambi are better mini vibrators for you. If you only need moderate intensity, you’ll enjoy the Magic Wand Micro’s vibrations.
The other Magic Wands, like the Magic Wand Mini and Magic Wand Rechargeable, are significantly stronger with broader power ranges. In fact, the Magic Wand Micro’s top setting is only as powerful as the Mini’s lowest setting. So, if you’re after more power, try the Mini for a mid-sized or the Rechargeable for a full-sized option.
Note: Although the Magic Wand Micro’s and Mini’s power graphs look similar, we rated the Micro in comparison to bullet and mini vibrators, whereas the Magic Wand Mini is rated in comparison to wand vibrators, which are much stronger than bullets. So the numerical results between the two reviews are not directly comparable.
Vibrations: Frequency (Rumbliness)
We rate rumbly vibrations higher than buzzy ones because it’s what most people prefer.
The Lelo Mia 2 has average rumbliness. The low powers are in the rumbly range, but the higher strengths are in the neutral range. Since it has low overall strength, those neutral-feeling higher powers are the ones you’ll likely use most often.
Personal preferences on vibration frequency vary, and I actually really enjoy the Lelo Mia’s neutral vibrations. But if you want the most rumbly option you can find, the We-Vibe Tango X is a great alternative in the same price range.
The Magic Wand Micro has great rumbly vibrations on the first two settings and a neutral-feeling top setting. Neutral vibrations are actually some of my favorites since I enjoy the greater kick at the surface they bring over rumbly vibrations. So I’m glad the top power feels neutral, and I enjoy the lower settings’ rumbly feel for a comfortable warmup.
If you enjoy mid-strength, moderately rumbly vibrations, the Magic Wand Micro is great. If you prefer deeper rumbliness, the We-Vibe Tango X bullet vibrator remains extremely rumbly on every setting. Or for similar rumbliness to the Magic Wand Micro with a broader power range, consider the Pillow Talk Racy.
The Magic Wand Micro is less rumbly than the other Magic Wands (except the Original). Its frequency range is pretty similar to the Rechargeable, Plus, and Mini. But these larger wands have much more power on their rumbly settings, so their vibrations feel more impactful.
Stimulation Precision
The Lelo Mia 2 provides a medium amount of precision (purely a personal preference) compared to other bullet and mini vibrators – a hybrid between broad and focused. It has a relatively narrow, rounded tip that provides fairly focused stimulation. But the tip does not come to a fine point like many tapered or lipstick-shaped bullets that provide very precise stimulation.
Likewise, some mini vibrators like the We-Vibe Touch X provide broader stimulation that blankets more of your vulva. But still, you can get somewhat broad stimulation from the Mia 2 by angling it and pressing the side of the bullet against you rather than the tip.
The Magic Wand Micro’s precision is between broad and focused, with a head width of 1.31 inches. This is broader than most bullet and mini vibrators (the median width of the ones we’ve tested so far is about 0.9 inches) but more focused than the other Magic Wands, which have heads ranging from 1.9 to 2.4 inches wide.
I enjoy the Magic Wand Micro’s moderate width – it’s comfortable for direct stimulation because the pressure spreads out evenly. When I use a slimmer toy than the Magic Wand Micro, I usually use it for indirect stimulation, pressing it near the side of my clit. Precise, direct stimulation often feels too intense for me. But it feels good with the Magic Wand Micro.
The Magic Wand Micro’s head shape also makes it easy to vary the precision. You can use the top lip of the cylindrical head for more focused stimulation or the side of the head for broader stimulation.
Comfort & Ease of Use
The Lelo Mia 2 is very comfortable. The Mia is longer than most bullets and has a firm texture making it very easy to grip and leverage for solid pressure.
The Mia has separate buttons to increase and decrease vibration power. This is helpful over the one-button system many bullet vibrators use that requires you to cycle through levels. The buttons take firmer pressure than some, but this means you don’t accidentally adjust the power when you don’t mean to.
The Magic Wand Micro is exceptionally comfortable and easy to use. The handle is a great size to grip comfortably without cramping my hand or fingers, and it’s easy to leverage. I like how the base flares out a bit, providing a natural leverage spot for the inside of my thumb to press against, making it extra easy to apply firm pressure.
The plush silicone head and flexible neck keep the contact on my clit very comfy when I’m applying firm pressure. Very few mini vibrators have a plush head like the Magic Wand Micro.
I can also press the Micro’s buttons easily to change the setting during use, and their placement doesn’t cause me to accidentally press them when I don’t want to.
You tap the power button to turn it on, then tap the settings button to cycle through the 3 power levels and 4 patterns. The controls are more limited than vibrators with separate buttons to increase and decrease power. But since there are only 7 settings, cycling through them doesn’t take too long. When you turn the Magic Wand Micro off and back on, it starts again at the gentlest power setting – so you can use this method to get back to the beginning too.
Use During Sex
The Lelo Mia 2 is easy to use and effective during sex. The thin design makes it easy to fit into tight spaces. I can easily move the Mia around without the end hitting my partner’s chest.
It’s made of very firm plastic, which can bump around a bit in missionary or other positions where your partner may occasionally press the toy against you. It’s small enough that it does not cause discomfort, but if you’d prefer something more plush, the Dame Pom is very squishy and flexible. But I think most people will not be bothered by the firmness of the Mia’s tip.
The Magic Wand Micro is outstanding in spooning positions or others where you’re not facing your partner. It’s easy to fit between your legs, and the medium coverage and plush surface make it great for direct stimulation. It feels comfortable against the body and is easy to leverage with one hand.
It still provides good stimulation if you’re in missionary or other positions facing your partner. But since the head size is bigger than most bullets, it takes up more space and can’t fit as tightly near your clit if you prefer direct stimulation. It’s still comfortable and provides solid, indirect vibrations. But if you particularly care about clit stimulation in face-to-face positions, the Lovense Ambi or another angled bullet vibrator is best.
Noise
The Lelo Mia 2 is one of my quietest bullets and cannot be heard from behind a closed door at all. But this is primarily because it’s a low-powered bullet vibrator that’s best for those who need gentle vibrations.
If you prefer intense vibrations, there are more powerful bullet and mini vibrators that are also discreet. The We-Vibe Touch X and Lovense Ambi are two much stronger options that are also entirely inaudible behind a closed door.
The Magic Wand Micro has great noise levels. When I used it in the bedroom, with my partner listening from the other side of the door, he could not hear it on any setting. Its decibel level on high is technically greater than many of my bullets at 51.9 Hz, but since the vibrations are never buzzy, they are not noticeable.
If you’re holding the toy in open air, it can make a slight rattling noise, which still can’t be heard outside the room but could become annoying to the user. But making small adjustments to your grip and pressing the toy against your body stops this rattling sound. I haven’t found it to be an issue.
Battery Life
The Lelo Mia 2 is rechargeable and lasts for an hour and a half on its highest power. This is long for a bullet. However, since its max setting is actually quite gentle, the battery life isn’t too impressive since it doesn’t use much power.
If you want more powerful bullets that last about the same time on their highest power, the We-Vibe Tango X and We-Vibe Touch X are excellent options. They’ll last even longer if you also tend to use some gentle settings part of the time.
The Magic Wand Micro has a fantastic battery life, lasting 108 minutes on high power in our test. Only a small handful of my mini-vibrators lasted this long.
However, you have to remember that the Magic Wand Micro has moderate vibration strength, so it doesn’t use as much power as some others. If you choose a stronger mini vibrator, like the We-Vibe Touch X, you’ll have a longer runtime than our results if you typically use the lower and middle levels too. Our results are from running each vibrator on its highest setting until it dies.
Build Quality
The Lelo Mia 2 has a decent build quality. I haven’t experienced any issues with it, but its extremely lightweight plastic construction feels somewhat cheap. The buttons also take some firm pressure to press. It just doesn’t feel as luxurious as some other premium bullet vibrators.
The Magic Wand Micro has a good build quality. However, I didn’t rate it as highly as some of my others because it’s not waterproof or splashproof.
Besides the lack of water protection, the head is made of smooth, plush silicone that’s body-safe and wonderfully comfortable. While flexible, the neck feels sturdy, so I can still put firm pressure on it. The plastic handle feels well put together, and the reliable silicone buttons have a nice press-feel.
Cleaning
The Lelo Mia 2 is completely IPX7 waterproof, which makes it very easy to clean. You can completely submerge it in water while you’re scrubbing with soap and water – absolutely no worries.
The Magic Wand Micro is not easy to clean. With such a small head, it could be easy to get water damage because it’s harder to keep water away from the neck.
The best practice is to clean it with a damp cloth. But when I’m in a rush, I often run it under the sink, keeping water from touching anywhere besides the silicone head. This is much trickier with the Magic Wand Micro compared to the larger Magic Wands since it’s so small.
If you’re not set on very intentional care, go with something waterproof like the We-Vibe Touch X or Lovense Ambi. There are many others with a waterproof rating too.
