Mini Portable Vocal/Instrument Microphone for Mobile Phone Laptop Notebook Apple iPhone Sumsung Android with Holder Clip- Black

Microphone quality is great. For the price you are buying it, it makes a huge difference. If you need to buy an adapter for Iphone, you MUST buy one that is for AUDIO NOT HEADPHONES, these are not as common to buy. There is also microphones on Amazon you can buy that are already suited for Iphone. The adapter I recommend is a 3.5mm TRRS (Female) to Lightning (Male) Audio Adapter by BOYA (10-15$). The pop filter that comes with the mic is definitely needed to stop that popping sounds while talking. If you plan to buy from a different store, I would make sure that they have the pop filter included like this one does!

First off the mic has a 3.5mm headphone jack which is a rarity these days, but even if you have one this isn't usable. This is wired as a headphone and mic combo with 3.5mm pass through for headphones, so if you try to plug it into a regular 3.5mm mic jack it isn't going to work because the placement of the connections is wrong. You can get an adapter, but even then its of limited use. It has very low gain even with all my sliders maxed out, so the recording comes out so soft that its unusable. I knew I was taking a gamble with a $8 mic but gave it a shot as it had 15K reviews and a 4 star average. Clearly those reviews don't belong to what is being sold on this listing now

My mic doesn’t work at all so feels like a scam

I’d seen this microphone all over the socials and noticed how well it picked up close sounds, and automatically knew what I’d use it for: recording guitars! It comes with a flippable stand and a holder which makes placement very customizable. See the attached pic for how I placed it and the video to hear how well it picked up the guitar tone. I used the Voice Memos app on my iPhone with the amplifier volume at only TWO, and the result was crisp, clear, and warm, making it great for capturing ideas and maybe even some actual recordings. ***NOTE: you will need a lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter. See attached pic). It is NOT included. Amazon has a 2-pack for only $5.99 Bottom line: Works well for…. -ASMR -Interviews -Guitar recordings -Probably much more. I just haven’t delved much deeper just yet. And for that price, I thought it was a steal!

Smaller than I thought
