Professional Wired Lavalier Lapel Clip On Microphone for iPhone and Android Smartphone or Camera Omnidirectional Tiny Shirt Mic for Recording with Clip-on Perfect for Vloggers and Bloggers

I got this to hook to my phone for making quick videos and audio notes. I record stuff in the shop so I can refer back to it at a later time. This mic sounds a lot better than I was expecting for the price and that silly little wind screen actually works really well. Now if I can just keep my pitbull from chewing it off of me. I have it clipped to the front pocket of my work bibs and every time my pitty gives me loves, she CANNOT resist givin this mic a little nibble. If she breaks it, at this price I will surely buy another. It's made a big improvements in my recordings for sure. The cord is pretty dang long too - not sure how long since I've never unraveled it but rather stuff the rolled up cord into my pocket since I never need it more than a foot or so. One downside to it, and this might just be me or my phone, is that it causes the speaker to go mute once it's plugged in to my phone. I thought I'd try to use it during a hands free phone call to show my daughter how good it sounded but I couldn't hear anything with it plugged in. I can't hear the phone ring or anything. Not a deal breaker for me since I only use it for voice recording and/or videos but I thought I'd mention it in case it was a deal breaker for someone else.

The Professional Wired Lavalier Lapel Clip-On Microphone for iPhone and Android is surprisingly impressive. It excels at capturing voice dictations and is perfect for using with your mobile device. I paired it with the Rode App and Voice Memo, and the results were commendable. The audio quality is excellent for video and straight audio playback. While it doesn’t capture the rich tones and frequencies of higher-end microphones, it’s more than sufficient for personal use. I use it to record myself during presentations, allowing me to review and improve my speaking skills. The cord length is adequate for attaching the mic to my collar and connecting it to my phone in my pocket. This microphone is a valuable tool for bloggers or anyone who needs to be hands-free while recording quality voice memos on their devices. For filmmakers on a tight budget, it can be useful for capturing audio in wide-shot scenes. A significant advantage over Bluetooth alternatives is that it doesn’t require charging, making it a convenient and reliable option. Overall, this microphone is definitely worth the price.

This product works very well. I was able to clip it on to someone during an interview and the sound was very loud and clear. What made this even better was that it was able to pick out my voice from across the person pretty well too. Background noise is also minimal to non-existent. Great product for an amazing price. I didn't give it a full 5 stars because the cord could be longer, it isn't short by any means. But it could be longer. Other than that, amazing product. Comes in a very nice and secure package and also has a pouch. So you're faced with a dilemma, whether to use the secure package or the carrying pouch. We had a family meeting, put it to a vote, the pouch one by narrowest of margins.

I really do like this lavalier microphone, I think it's really great. Now, I don't have any experience with other lavalier microphones, but I did use a 'directional microphone' with my iphone before. For those new to all of this stuff like me, that's basically an actual microphone that plugs directly into the phone, and just sits there, it doesn't have a cord or clip to your shirt or anything. I had absolutely no change in sound quality for that, so it got returned right away. This microphone has a NOTICEABLE change in sound quality. It's much crisper, in my opinion, and louder. The cord is a decent length, not too long and not too short, and the clip is really tight. I struggled to get the clip to open the first time, but I actually really like that, because it means it won't fall off my shirt. The manufacturer recommends wearing a button down shirt with the mic, but I wore a regular long sleeve shirt and didn't have any problems clipping it on, and it didn't fall off. It comes with a faux leather bag to store the mic in, which is really nice. I also tested this with both my iMac(plugs right in to the headphone jack) and with my iPhone 7 using the 3.5 mm to lightning adapter and it worked perfectly. So, don't be afraid to get this just because you have a newer iPhone without a headphone jack :)

I have to say i was extremely dissatisfied with this microphone. The sound quality is so bad on it that I wasn't even sure it was working, I had to download a sound source tester app on my phone to confirm that what I was hearing was audio from this mic and not the phone's internal mic. Thanks to that app, I was able to confirm this actually sounds worse than the mic built into my mid-range android phone from a year a half ago. I used the mic to record several videos and thought I must have been doing something wrong because of how bad the audio was, but no, it's the mic. I tried other mics and got vastly better results. To elaborate on what I mean by bad sound quality... I had the mic clipped on my shirt at an appropriate distance from my face but it sounded almost the same as recording audio on my phone at about five feet away. It would often miss portions of speech particularly at the higher end of the audio spectrum. The audio also sounded like it was electronically compressed, it had that sort of hollow computerized quality that you experience in a low signal cell phone call. So in the end, yes, this is cheap, but just be aware that there's a good chance the mic built into your phone or tablet is significantly better (or at at least no worse) than this one. Would not recommend.

The sound quality is good. I used this while driving and compared the sound quality with and without the mic. The quality difference is clear. It cleaned up the background noises and my voice came across really well. On the down side, there is a clicking sound that is very evident. It interupts the audio significantly. Also, it does not pick up all of what is said, so the audio jumps. Lastly, there is an audio lag. So the audio and video doesn't sync up.

There’s several microphones of this style available. I’ve tested several. They range in the price between $10 and $20. This particular model actually sounded better and it was less expensive than the others. They work very well with the iPhone and better recording software like the one from iRig. The other thing I really like about them is that they seem to be shielded nicely. The Rode Go Wireless system he’s very picky about what mics are used with it because there seems to be and electric interference home from the power supply in it. For example, there are mics from JK that I really like but they fail miserably with this particular wireless system. Rode sells its own very nice microphone that can be used with the system but it is also eight times more expensive than the microphone Bing reviews here. This microphone and an adapter to make it usable with the Go system it’s not only cheaper but also brings a different sound flavor to the game. This can be useful just for the different sound it has or if you need to mic some thing and you might lose the microphone in the process (filming is sometimes crazy). I liked this well enough that I bought three more. at $10 apiece, it’s a no-brainer.

I bought this little mic when my ArsTechnica USB mic became unrecognizable by my laptops and I was waiting for a charger replacement for the one I use for editing. I needed to use my phone to record and wasn't ready to accept my Ars was really unusable now. This little mic had me at the first mic test. I wasn't sure if my daughter had been paying attention to the documentary we were watching for her school work decided to have her pretend to be the expert explaining the topic to me. We used my Fire tablet and this little mic, pinned to my shoulder closest to her. We were both so excited when we listened to the audio afterward and realized how good it sounded. Then I realized that the cord was long enough to put under/through a shirt and use for Zoom meetings or presentations. It has two clips: the alligator one by the mic itself and a smaller plastic one that you can slide up or down the cord as needed to help wrangle the wire. Sadly, I messed up the audio quality when I tossed this in a backpack with a laptop, tablet, and some other day use items. You should be okay if you are mindful about the size and sturdiness of this little mic. It's small and plastic. If you want super-duper high-quality audio for ultra-professional projects, look for a different mic. If you want something reliable to use for daily tasks, for interviews on the go, or even to record a podcast from wherever you are, this little thing is a winner.
