Let me being with the Amazon review mantra: "I usually don't write reviews for products but..."OK, now that I got that out of the way 😂 , Let's talk about this Lav mic!I felt compelled to write about it because I expected another L from Amazon. I bought the Pop voice mic, and maybe mine was a dude but it didn't work. Wouldn't work on my mac or my phone. A complete waste of money. I decided to give this one a shot before I bit the bullet and purchased a guaranteed good (but pricey) mic like the Rode Plus.I was confident due to the reviews but I've been fooled by cap on this app many times. People hyped for a product that ends up being trash. For the price, it was worth another attempt to add a quality lav mic to my home studio setup.The packaging and product is as advertised in the pics you see. I didn't have trouble installing the battery into the power section. The packaging is clear and separates all the parts so you're ready to use it out of the box.I tested this on my Macbook Pro using the USB attachment (I needed an adapter because this isn't USB-C), On My MB Pro using my Focusrite Scarlett 4i4 third gen (there's a 1/4 adapter included too) and on my iPhone. I can report that the sound is clear and the lav just works! It's sensitive and picks up background noise, as I could hear my heater on faintly, but it's not bad enough to detract from your audio. Worst case you can eliminate those minor sounds in post-production.The attachments allow me the versatility to use it on any camera and laptop. I didn't test in my Canon camera, but if it works on a Macbook (which also requires the Camera button to be ON to use it), then Im sure it can work for a DSLR. I tested this in Quicktime on the Mac, on the Camera and Voice Notes app on iPhone with no issue. Ditto for the Focusrite. It's great to have gain control on the audio interface so I can adjust it.The mini Camera/Smartphone power pack has a little weight, but it also has a belt buckle attachment, so think of it like a wireless lav mic receiver. it's easy to hide and shouldn't be too cumbersome.If this had a gain control option, it would probably cost more money, but it would also be even more perfect. For a lowe price, you get high-end quality sound that's serviceable enough for your Zoom calls, iPhone recordings and anything else you need to do that requires dope audio. Highly recommended.P.S. - it doesn't work if you want to send a voice note in the messages app and I didn't test for FaceTime, but those shouldn't be your primary or even secondary use case for a lav mic. If y'all want an audio test let me know and if enough request, I'll add it.

Does everything you would imagine or hope for, mic sounds great, and you can use your own if you wish, has a switch that could be used as a mute, port for headphones, usb audio gives great audio quality and mic quality, mic is pretty sensitive, and sounds great, I use this for games and have to turn down the mic volume and sensitivity in game because people can hear what’s going on a room over from me

I specialize in tech reviews and as a professional photographer and filmmaker have a good understanding of value vs. quality when it comes to recording devices. What’s different about the near identical looking Boya vs. Movo wired lav mics? Read on:In a word, nothing. The specs and performance are identical You can buy by price yet neither provides near professional audio quality suitable for podcast, broadcast or interviewing. The tonal range is adequate yet slightly muffled. That’s not good enough for the uses above, in my opinion.The long cord can be an advantage if you don’t want to go wireless yet it’s cumbersome otherwise. This unit is indeed an excellent value if good enough is fine with you. Once you compare to a better lav mic, there is no going back. I use the superb Sennheiser ME-2 which works well wired, or with its wireless system that I also own. For less, I have heard good things about the Rode Smart Lav+. Although it costs four times the price of the Boya or Movo, you will get a full and natural sounding tonal range.

This started as a good mic. Good price and was exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to hook up, and though the cord length seemed a bit excessive to me, I just bundled it up so it was out of the way. I made sure to secure all the cords and toggle so that the cord wouldn't stress, fray or twist, since I was going to be using it only at my desk and not walking around with it.And it worked pretty well at first, but after using it for a few weeks, my sound started to cut in and out randomly whenever I was on a call. It was never anything bad enough that toggling the on and off couldn't fix and I thought maybe it was a problem with my internet.Then the mic started to crackle rather horribly at random or whenever I tried to use the toggle, even though I wasn't moving at all. This was unfortunately just a few days after the month return time expired. Technology is funny like that.Changing the battery out did nothing, and I may as well have just tossed the $20 I spent on this mic out the window apparently, or at a better microphone in the first place.What a disappointing piece of junk now.

This mic works great! I could actually hear how clear my voice comes through when I was playing Helldivers 2 with my friend and I could hear myself coming through his tv speakers. I also use arch linux, so if you're a linux user and looking for a good mic, this one works great with linux. Mostly plug n play. I had to make it the default in steams settings and manually select it in sound controls. But after setting those, it automatically switches to the mic when i turn it on and pair my headphones to my pc.
