Perfect accessory for iOS devices

Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2016

Verified Purchase

First, look at the price. It's cheaper than the Audio-Technica version of the same microphone. Next, look at the features and all the ways this microphone can be used. It can connect to Android and iOS based smartphones and tablets to enhance audio performance for video recordings. It can also be used with a DSLR camera as it has an option to be power driven (battery included) which takes away the need for a shotgun microphone when vlogging or doing reviews. Lastly, check out the cord! It has a 20' long cord - unheard of for most lapel mics. This allows you to walk around and do demonstrations on video without having to move the camera. No loss of audio as the microphone is attached to your lapel and moves with you.

The audio pickup of this microphone is omni-directional and it definitely makes a positive difference when using it. I picked up this mic after doing some research for microphones I could use with my iPad and iPhone to enhance onboard sound. This one is perfect for my uses and at twenty bucks the price was right too.

An excellent accessory I highly recommend!

-----------------------------

NOTE: If you go to playback a video you recorded using this mic and you don't hear anything, unplug it from the device and you should hear the recording.

The BEST Budget Lapel Mic?

Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2016

Verified Purchase

LOVE this mic. Works and sounds great with either a video camera with a mic input or a smartphone. I did a full review on my YouTube channel THiNKmediaTV.

NOTES:

* The cable is very long
* It is powered for use with a DSLR or Video Camera (includes battery)
* Probably the best budget lapel mic out!

Great and Inexpensive Microphone

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

I really like this to help record my youtube videos. I use a Canon t6i and the clicking noise that happens during zooming in and out is quite annoying. This helps tremendously! The cord is super long (20ft.) and the lavaliere is very sturdy and made of metal. There's a switch that allows you to record your audio on either your camera or a smartphone. If you use the camera setting, be sure to have backup batteries (LR44) and to turn it off after use. I actually purchased extra batteries right here on Amazon for a really good price. All in all, I do recommend this microphone.

I bought this mic for iPhone videos. On my third time using it, the lapel clip (where the mic clips in) broke. I contacted customer support on their website with the following comment ____I bought a BY-M1 mic. I used it three times. The lapel clip (the circular part where the mic attaches) snapped, and the mic can no longer work on the clip. How can I get a replacement lapel clip.____ Three weeks later. Still no response. I'll do business with a different company that supports their product. I suggest you do the same.

Get it, you won't be sorry.

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2018

Verified Purchase

I own a lot of mics and I do a lot of work on narrations and voiceovers. I most commonly use my Sennheiser mkh 416 and have experience with the best mics used in Hollywood such as the Schoeps series of mics and Sanken lavs. Honestly, and to my surprise, this is the best purchase I've made in microphones. I don't know how they managed to do it, but I plug it in straight into my iPod (the ones like the phones, but not the phones, and that still have an input jack for headphones) and I get a low noise and almost perfect sound which basically needs no EQ at all. But, I am also using it now as a voiceover mic even, getting the talent to get very close, and it sounds amazing. I use it more than any mic I have. And I keep the EQ imprint in my iZotope plugins. Whatever you want to use it for, it will work amazing. If requested I can upload some samples, but I can't believe it is as cheap as it is. I just but another half dozen just to have in case the mic ever gets discontinued or changed as happens frequently with mics. There is so much to say, but spend the 16 bucks or so and you won't be disappointed that's for sure.

Boya Lavalier Microphone is worth every penny!

Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2017

Verified Purchase

I had been looking for a small mic that would be mac compatible I wanted something good so I purchased SmartLav for $85! Not worth it it feels cheap and the cord is very short plus it disnt work with my Mac I tried purchasing a splitter. Then I found the Boya lavalier mic!! It worked great out of the box and sounds great! It is easy to put together and the cord is very long, doesn't feel flimsy or cheap it is very good quality and sounds great when making YouTube videos which is why I purchased it, works with my Mac, iPhone and iPad and God knows what else.
It is a great microphone and the price is right for $20 you can't go wrong it is better then all those expensive mic's out there.

Affordable way to improve quality of videos on the phone

Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017

Verified Purchase

This microphone has dramatically improved the quality of my Facebook Live videos shot on a iPhone. The mic picks up the voice of the speaker quite well, which has been good since I shoot live in places where I cannot control ambient sound. It allows me to record in places with loud air conditioners or lights, and let's the voice come through clearly without the buzz.

Although it practically eliminates the AC noise, I was disappointed that it does let in louder ambient sounds, including loud voices on the other side of a closed door.

Quality issue: the clip broke the first time I used the mic. My subject broke it trying to clip it to his shirt.

Be sure to read the instructions about leaving it in the "off" position to use it with your phone.

You get more than what you pay for!

Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

Way better than expected for the price! Not only is the sound quality superb, but it's also amazing quality. Comes with metal battery pack that switches between camera and smartphone, one battery, pop filter, 20 feet cord, extended adapter jack, velcro strap and clip on microphone and battery pack. You really get a bang for you buck. For $20, no one can complain. It's great for interviews AND informative speaking. I personally think it sounds better without the pop filter but it's great to have it. Highly recommend for anyone who wants acceptable audio quality. Also the 20 feet cord seems way longer than it is which is always a good thing!

No proper customer care number for repair or replacement

Reviewed in India on June 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

I ordered a Boya BY M1 microphone with a one year warranty, tried it a few days ago and found that it isnt working. I followed all the instructions to get the product working and tried every possible way, trying it in laptop and smartphone both, installing 3rd party app to record voice, and contacting their service in China and following their instructions which includes the method I already tried.

Now the customer service in India and China are just making me run in circles, the Amazon service says contact the Chinese helpline, and they are instructing to contact vendor in India. The Indian service is sharing the same Chinese contact info again and again and none of an Indian helpline service.

I am sick now of the service provided for this product, the review in youtube is contrasting. This should have been a good experience with a budget microphone but sadly wasn't.. I wanted to work on recording my voice for important projects and now I am helpless.

Es absurdo esperar una calidad de sonido profesional por un precio tan bajo, la calidad de este Mic cubrió todas mis expectativas, lo más atractivo es que se adapta a tus situación, lo he probado con un Xiaomi y funciona perfectamente bien, lo conecté a una Tascam y funcionó sin problema (tienes que encender el poder del Mic) lo mismo en una Nikon y en un pc. A diferencia de un Lavalier Sony con sonido superior pero que solo funciona con la cámara y con el Tascam. El tamaño del cable es más que perfecto. Como micrófono auxiliar o para quienes comienzan a grabar con smartphones es perfecto. Si sólo cuentas con el micrófono interno de tu cámara o Smartphone la diferencia de sonido con el uso de éste Mic te dejará más que satisfecho. Los he comprado una vez más por las razones que antes describí. Recomendado.

Very Good Value

Reviewed in Canada on April 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

I had been using a Lavalier with a large mic fitting that I had fitted an adapter for the miniature plug. I just bought a new video camera and the new mic plug was in a position where it would not take the adapter. Having the miniature plug is brilliant as is the button battery to power it.

Be sure to carry extra batteries. The mic itself is very good but it was picking up too many breath noises as I paused. It turned out it was because I had the camera mic setting on auto, so each time the volume was going up when I wasn't talking. Problem solved but those damn wind foam covers they never stay on. I fasten mine down with a plastic pull tight.

Sound quality of my Videos improved considerably

Reviewed in India on November 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

With Boya's lavalier, Audio quality of my videos improved substantially.

I haven't used the option for recording with DSLR. But the mic is working fine with my smartphone. The cable is pretty long which was one of the main drawbacks of my previous mic.

This gadget is recommended to people who are serious about the sound quality of their Audios and Videos.
Still not clear with the guarantee provided by the seller. I feel there should be at least 9/12 months of Guarantee Period for a gadget priced around 1.1K

Un excelente microfono para grabar el audio de tus vídeos

Reviewed in Mexico on May 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

La verdad tardé mucho es escoger cual micrófono me convenía, ya que grabo vídeos en Youtube, y el audio de mi cámara (Canon T6) no es tan bueno, que es necesario comprarse un micrófono, pero este me ha funcionado muy bien, altamente recomendado, sólo lo conectas a tu teléfono celular y con tu aplicación Grabadora de Voz y listo. Luego lo pasas a tu pc o laptop y es todo, no hay necesidad de editar el audio para eliminar "los ruidos" que en algunos micrófonos suelen hacer.
ESTE MICROFONO ES IDEAL PARA TODO.

Es muy buuen micrófono, se escucha perfecto y casi al 100% sin otros sonidos, solo hay que colocarlo bien. Con todo en silencio se alcanza a escuchar un leve zumbido, pero hay que fijarse mucho. El cable suficientemente largo para hacer una entrevista con la cámara de frente, lo único malo es que no tiene indicador de encendido apagado, lo que dificulta saber si está llegando bien el sonido. Hay que monitorear la cámara para asegurarse.

MUY BUEN MICRO!!! precio vs. calidad en excelente relación!

Reviewed in Mexico on December 24, 2018

Verified Purchase

Aunque no es un micro excepcional, es MUY BUENO! por su relación con el precio. Hice muchas investigaciones y vi muchos reviews de micros en internet (MUCHOS!!!), y desde luego este fue el que elegí por todos los comentarios. Y pues me ha sorprendido, desde su empaque externo (caja de marca -ver fotos-) hasta lo que contiene. Trae su bolsa de transporte negra, una pila para el condensador (que por cierto sólo se activa o enciende con las cámaras DSLR ya que en celulares no es necesario prenderlo y por lo tanto usar esa pila de reloj incluida), contiene además su clip para la ropa, una espuma negra para cubrir el micro, un cable larguísimo!!!!!!!!!! que es ideal para grabar desde MUY lejos (más de 6 metros), y un adaptador a otro tipo de jack (mas ancho). Ya lo usé para grabar video en mi smartphone Galaxy S8+ y funcionó a la primera, con buen nivel de cancelación de ruido y sin necesidad de activar ni configurar nada más. Muy buena relación precio / calidad.

Dramatic improvement in audio quality

Reviewed in India on January 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

I have been using this mic for the past few months and am loving it! I am so thankful that I went for this instead of buying any other cheap generic mics that are available.

I had been using a Generic mic previously. But now the switch to this has dramatically improved the audio quality of my YouTube videos.
It is extremely easy to use and the battery life has been fantastic too!
It picks up enough sound details and does need much editing in post.
It picks up very little noise which can then be easily removed in Audacity or Adobe Audition.
Sound quality is crispy and I simply can't explain how improved it is. I have my YouTube channel named 'The Reviewologists'. You should check it out to get a feel of the actual audio quality. I will upload a review soon so make sure you're subscribed!

If you're hesitant about buying this over the Generic mics, go ahead with this one. You won't regret it!

Great little mic, love it!

Reviewed in Canada on January 5, 2018

Verified Purchase

I am so glad I bought this mic. I use it for making YouTube videos with my phone or tablet. With this mic, the sound quality is at least as good as what I'd expect when making a phone call. Without a mic, it's like using speaker phone (of course it is -without a mic the device uses it's speaker-phone mic to record all the sound in the room). It's a noticeable difference.

Just remember that when using any mic with a mobile device, unplug it when you playback your file. Why? Because you plugged your mic into the audio jack, of course. Most apps will assume you've plugged in a headset or other type of speaker, so the apps send sound through the jack and not to the main speaker. Please don't panic and assume your mic malfunctioned (some reviewers appear to have done just that). If you really want to keep your mic plugged in during playback, you can change your settings to always use the main speaker (very easy to do on most phones/tablets, but I still find it simpler to unplug the mic).

The little clip is strong, and the mic stays on securely. The chord is much longer than I'll ever need, which is fine by me. I've never fully unraveled it, and never will. Nor will I ever run into a problem with it being too short. Bottom line, I feel I can rely on this mic to do the job, whatever I'm doing.

One last thing. When buying electronics it's really important to understand that the manufacturing costs depend very heavily on what % of the devices are lemons. You can sometimes find the exact same product coming off the same assembly line under different brand names and the only difference is that the cheap brands are more likely to be faulty (eg. maybe 3-5% of the cheap ones are duds, while the expensive brands only allow <0.1% failure rate). Even so, most of the cheap ones will work just as well as the high-priced brands. For simple electronics like this, I usually choose a low-cost one and take my chances. I would never take that chance with a complex device like a phone because too many things can go wrong. But with a mic? Sure! I took a chance and I would do so again. I always check reviews first though, and make sure I see some glowing reviews. I want to know that if the product works, it's going to work well. The last thing I want is a device that is poorly designed, and there are plenty of those out there too so be careful.

For me, this little mic is a good example of an inexpensive product at a price low enough for me to easily take the risk. Do be honest with yourself though. If you get a dud, would you be really upset? Would you bother trying to get a refund? Maybe you wouldn't bother, but you're willing to risk the cash anyway. Just be honest with yourself. And if you're feeling unlucky, don't buy cheap electronics!

Good lav mic for youtubers. It Can be used with desktops

Reviewed in India on September 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

This mic is ideal if you won't to make youtube videos and for voice recording, but it may not be ideal for songs. Idoubt if it has noise cancellation, however, there is a big difference between noise and recorded voice, so the noise can be reduced using noise reduction . There is no need for amplification of the sound signal. I use this mic with desktop with the battery switch in on position. When you use it with a smartphone (the switch has to be kept off), the volume would be a bit lower, but it still is much better than cheaper alternatives.
