A great bang-for-your-buck lapel mic that delivers crisp and professional sound.

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2017

First, the pros: Basically, for less than $30, in my humble opinion this is a fantastic value for anyone who wants to boost their sound. I’ve been using the AT3350 for just under two years now, and I am ecstatic with the product. I attach the discreet clip to my vest while preaching on Sunday mornings and the audio that I get is worthy enough for a podcast on iTunes. The mic picks up my voice clearly and the volume of my speech is consistently loud (I record using a Sony ICD PX 333). It is also sensitive enough to pick up the softer sounds from people sitting 5-6 feet behind me. (In fact, the mic picks up a cough or a sneeze 20 feet away). I’ve never had a problem with “p-popping” even when I raise my voice. The 3.5mm plug will insert into any device with that input and I have used it a few times on my iPhone and Nikon D3400 with great results.

Next, the cons: My mic served me well when for no reason (after 1.5 years), it stopped recording my voice and instead recorded loud static whenever I spoke. Tinkering with the device didn’t solve the problem. I was happy with prior results, so I just bought another one. The other ‘con’ really isn’t a con at all just a matter of preference: the cable is very long (about 20 feet) so if you are speaking publicly and have an attached recording device on your person, there will be a bundle of wires somewhere.

Last, a few pointers: (1) There is no way to know if the mic is off or on other than checking the switch on the battery module. Before you put your mic away be sure that the power is off less you drain your battery. (2) The mic can use two different types of batteries: 357/303 (Silver oxide) or the LR44 (alkaline). Basically, go with the 357/303 because they last longer and provide more continuous voltage (so your audio sounds don’t drop off). Yes, they are more pricey but as far as I can hear, they do yield a slight uptick in audio quality. (3) The windscreen falls off easily. Consider having a few extra handy.

Absolutely incredible

Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2016

Update 4-22-17: I've learned a lot since I wrote this review. These mics have incredibly low DB levels. To get normal audio, I had to really bump the levels up in an editor later. Yes, new batteries, etc. The audio is usable, but so, so low that when you bump it in an editor you get a mechanical warbling noise in the background. Use virtually ANYTHING else to get better results than these! I don't know if they were designed to work with specifically an iphone, because there are a number of good reviews. There's no way what I'm experiencing could result in such good reviews. Perhaps it's "just" better than the wind-blown noise of a built-in mic.

Original Review:
I used this today to record interviews on the street. It was hooked to a Nexus 6P phone, and recording was done with the pro/paid version of Voice Recorder v. 3.2.2 by skyroapp. I was using mostly-default settings in the software except for manual gain of +13 dB because otherwise the volume during playback was too low. I had the mic clipped to my shirt per the instructions, about 6" below my chin.

I purposely left the mic on before the interviews started. This included some chatting in the shop, walking to the vehicle with the cameraman, driving to location. The mic was intended as a test since we had a Rode mic attached to our camera cage.

The sound quality was very good. My voice was super crisp and clear. There was virtually no car noise, no wind noise, and you could barely hear other people talking. During the ride in the car, and when interviewing people, they were largely muted, which is perfect! You could use this mic in a loud environment and get very good audio to sync to a video or make an audio recording. You'd need one mic per person, as usual.

I wanted to get the Rode lapel mic because of the brand name and generally-good quality of their products. This Audio-Technica ATR3350 is great and a quarter of the price or so. I can't compare it to the Rode but I can compare it to inexpensive wireless lapel setups we have used in the past. The Audio-Technica sound is more rich, and less tinny-sounding, than the cheaper mics.

I don't think you can go wrong with this mic, regardless of price.

They used to be great lavs, but quality control went out the window

Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2019

We used the old mono ATR3350 on our product and tutorial videos at work for years, and I was so impressed with it and the price that I order more, both for work and my home studio. Unfortunately, by that time, Audio Technica decided to retire the mono version, replace it with a version using a TRS stereo connector and subsequently an ATR3350IS for mobile phones, and the quality control tanked. All but one I've purchased had or quickly developed a buzz in the line, apparently due to poor grounding. I still use the one good one, but the rest are useless.

The worst part is that this is a known issue and is mentioned in other reviews, yet Audio Technica has yet to fix it, opting instead to just keep keep selling this crap. This is particularly sad, because it just hurts their brand. I guess they lost pride in their name or something and just don't care anymore? I don't know. All I know is that I'm not going to buy anymore of these things, and I won't recommend them either, because in my personal and professional opinion, after four bad mics, I think they are junk. The real irony? The only one that still works is the old mono ATR3350, and it's over ten years old! I think that says a lot about how far downhill the ATR3350 series has gone. Shame on you, Audio Technica!

BTW, my son purchased an AT2005USB mic for his podcast studio last year, and he's ditching it for a couple of the new Rode PodMics. We're done with Audio Technica.

A great sound for the price!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 27, 2015

Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

A great budget lavalier microphone - sound is nice and rounded and will suit most novice/entry level users. I recorded the audio for the review with the mic into a Zoom H1 recorder - I then tweaked the audio in Adobe Audition (just to boost the volume slightly). I am really pleased with the results. I have been using a borrowed Sony mic that cost over £300 and to be honest, the Audio Technica faired pretty well (prob because I'm not very technically gifted).

My only issue with this mic is the extra long cable. If you are planning on recording your audio straight into the mic port on your camera, then this would enable you to get some distance away, but for me I find it a pain to store/untangle, and as I am putting the recorder in my pocket, the cable has to trail down my leg and on to the floor. Other than that, a cracking little mic!

High quality lapel mic for under £20

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 17, 2016

The media could not be loaded.

This excellent lavalier microphone from Audio Technica, the ATR3350, can pick up sound really well. It comes with a 6 meter cable so you shouldn't need to worry about distance from the camera. (If you need any longer than 6 meters you probably need to invest in wireless microphones) on the end of the cable is the standard 3.5mm jack. I use this microphone plugged directly into a DSLR camera, but you can plug it into a field recorder also. I occasionally use a Zoom H2N and the ATR3350 mic plugs directly into that.

My only minor criticisms are;
1) The mic won't work without a LR44 / AG13 battery. You can buy these from most pound shops (Or Amazon)
2) It is too easy to leave the microphone on, when not in use, which will drain the battery. (A little led would have been a good addition to this mic)
3) The 6 meter cable can get in the way (I wrap the excess cable around the tripod head)
4) The wind guard is a bit weak (You might want to put this mic under clothes to avoid wind)
...these points fall by the wayside if you are careful and take care of the mic. (Besides it's very cheap to replace)

I have used some much dearer microphones from Rode / Smartmyk / Sony / Nikon in a price vs quality test this mic would win hands down.

Not as shown in picture - no adapter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2018

Verified Purchase

The mics are - as far as I can say - fine. Probably warrant 5 stars. My problem is that the picture (which I used to decide to buy two of these mics) shows an adapter unit. I need this to plug into my recording device which has 6.35mm jack sockets. So - very disappointed hence 3 stars. Closer inspection shows that the box with the adpater is labelled ATR3350is whereas what I received is ATR3350. So, I now need to source a suitable adapter - very annoying. Would be good to hear back from Amazon customer services on this - photo of the product is patently misleading.

Great Audio and Excellent Value.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent value lapel mic and I was pleasantly surprised by the very good audio quality. It is supplied with around 20' of cable so you don't even need to buy an extension cable! I am using the microphone to record on-line video reviews and it is ideal. The tonal range produces a very natural sounding voice and the output level matches well with my Olympus OM-D E-M1 camera. The noise floor is also very good and the small amount of additional hiss can only be detected when using closed cup headphones. Some reviewers have criticised the clip and the lack of an ON led but the clip on my model appears to be very sound. However, the clip needs to be mounted by sliding the clip up the cable rather than trying to push it over the microphone body - that would be too much of a stretch. I agree that a power LED would be handy but would also shorten the battery life so I'm happy with no indicator. The LR44 batteries are so cheap (25p each) that I just keep a few in the bag and if I'm recording something particularly important, I put a fresh battery in at the beginning. Overall, the ATR-3350 provides excellent performance at a price some 5x less than its rivals.

great sound from this thing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 5, 2014

Verified Purchase

great sound from this thing, but it uses a tiny button battery to power it, the battery runs flat if accidentally knocked on or left on (very easy to do) once it's flat the device won't work at all and there's no way of knowing if it'll run out halfway through a shoot! you need to buy a whole bag of the batteries and take them with you just incase, except it's almost impossible to get the battery out of the case, you need some kind of dedicated tool or something, it's very firmly wedged in there! surely there has to be a better solution...

other than that it's a great mic, sound is crystal clear and combined with a zoom h1n or h4n you've got a very affordable professional sounding lav mic setup. just a shame you need to check on it all the time to make sure it's still running.
