Product description

The high fidelity Omnidirectional microphone capsule is in a factory assembled housing with a durable, removable alligator clip with a black finish. This mic is designed specifically for use with the “mic input” jack that provides "plug-in power" having voltage output from between 1.5 to 10 volts. The cable is 6 feet long. Please note the following for recorder compatibility. These mics and all others like it are not compatible with mixers and most cameras, smartphones and recorders that do not have "plug in power." The phantom power from mixers will fry the mic elements. The max voltage is 10 volts. Do not use XLR or 1/4 input jacks whatsoever as they provide phantom power that is more than 10 volts and will damage the mics. Also most cameras and smart phones are not compatible because they are not made for good quality audio.

Broken after 3 months...

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I used this mic with the GoPro audio adaptor inside my helmet. It worked great for a couple of videos, then it started producing flat, constant static. I thought it was my GoPro setting, or the audio adaptor, so I tried to record with another microphone. Sure enough, I got good sound out of my other lavalier mic and came to the conclusion that the mic was the failed component in my setup.

Maybe my case was a one-off, as most people seem to like theirs and works well with their GoPros. According to Amazon, the return window expired earlier in the month, so I'm out $50. I hope Giant Squid Audio Lab reaches out to resolve this issue. <:0(

Mic in helmet cracked too much in the wind!

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018

I bought this mic to use in my full face Shoei RF1200 helmet w/ my GoPro Hero 5 and mic adapter. Experienced too much crackling at high speed/wind. Can't figure out why. Seems to work just ok in the absence of high speed.

Highly Recommend This Mic

Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2015

Verified Purchase

Update 3/10/16: Have used this on multiple shoots now and have to say that I'm still very impressed. This mic picks up on the vocal range well, for any subject. I typically used plugged into a Tascam DR-05 and can pull great sound out of it, consistently. If anything it leans towards midtones and bass, but it's easy to bring up the highs too.

Original Review: I was surprised at the quality of this mic. I bought it without a ton of research because I needed something for an interview and upcoming wedding. I paired it with the tascam DR-05 and it worked flawlessly. It has great sensitivity and produces very well-rounded sound for voice- great bass but not muddled. Highly recommend. Just keep in mind it requires plug-in power...

A cheap lav that isn't awful

Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

Pretty good for the money. It's a shame the 3-pole connector won't work with smartphones but hey it's great on my Nikon D5100 though I do have to set the sensitivity to low otherwise I get some clipping and distortion. That means some audio editing is required but I was going to do that anyway so meh.

SOund quality is quite good for the money. I think this is about as cheap as anyone should go with lavs as this sounds almost the same as the built-in mic so this is literally just bringing it closer to my mouth.

Two biggest cons are that the cable is a bit on the short side and the wind cover is really hard to get on.

Love this little mic! Well built, and sounds great!

Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2016

Verified Purchase

I've purchased two of these so far, and will likely add more! I often use this mic directly into a Zoom H1, rather than messing with wireless transmitter/receiver setups, and I just sync audio in post.

It's very well built, and the only possible complaint would be the windscreen may come loose. If you have any issues with the windscreen, I found these excellent replacements on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017J3R2S8

The replacement windscreens I ordered (link above) are a little tight to get on, but once they're on, they don't ever fall off.

I like the 90° 3.5mm plug. It's perfect for use with the Zoom H1 (or anything similar), because it doesn't stick out; which makes things easier.

The clip that comes with it is very sturdy. I also ordered a RØDE vampire clip, but found out that the diameter on this mic is larger than the RØDE, so keep that in mind when ordering accessories. Another reviewer commented on build quality, but I can't understand why. This is a solid mic, and I have had no problems with my first mic, which is why I ordered a second one.

This is a super duper mic for my voice

Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a super duper mic for my voice. I have a rich, contralto voice and this mic is not thin, like so many others I heard reviews on.

And, despite what the manufacturer says, it works super on my iPhone 5S. Requires the IP-MIC2K adapter https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EG0OBYQ/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_1 There are others, but that's the one I tried.

If you do record into your phone, be sure to unplug the mic for playback. That connector is normally for the mic/earbuds that come with the phone. And as long as something is plugged in, no sound will come from the phone speakers.

I wonder how many more sales the manufacturer could make if they would bundle the mic with the adapter and advertise how good it is for recording on a smart phone.

Great mic

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2020

Verified Purchase

I tried ever possible combination in order to get a lav mic to work with my iPhone 6s+... the headphone jack needs a trrs and not just a trs, so I got a trrs adaptor... the lav mic I had still didn’t work after trying 2 different versions of this adaptor... I tried using a lightening to 3.5mm adaptor to go with the lav mic I had... didn’t work. At this point I’m getting frustrated. Finally I decided it was my $130 sennheiser lav mic that was the problem. I bought this $50 lav mic and hooked it up to my iPhone 6s+ with a trrs adaptor and it worked perfectly.

Turns it there is something specific that the sennheiser lav mic just doesn’t like about being used with trrs adaptors to iPhones. Funny enough, I can use that exact sennheiser lav mic directly into my canon 60d (it came with a wireless kit for use with these types of cameras) and the sennheiser lav mic works just fine.

So... this mic worked great and has more than adequate audio quality for the price. 6ish ft of wire is a plus as well... thanks to the guy on YouTube who recommeneddd this lav mic (likely not knowing he was solving 2 problems in 1).

Worked well for what we wanted

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is not a high tech, expensive mike, so we don't expect top quality. We bought it due to problems we had with an inexpensive recorder. This was a great inexpensive fix, and stopped all the problems my son had with distortion on the initial notes as he was recording a trumpet audition for a summer camp (wanted financial aid, etc). While this would not be good enough for professional auditions, and probably not good enough for future college auditions, it is very handy for amateur stuff and for practicing things, etc.If you use those inexpensive zoom or other recorders, this may well be a help for you.

Amazing mic - just get it.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2017

Not the prettiest looking mic, but what a fantastic product. I use several mics for different jobs, shot mics, instrument mics etc. I use Audio Technica, Shure, Sennheiser etc. This mic is up there with the best. What it loses in looks, packaging and branding, it makes up for in quality. Both build and response. Buy with confidence.

Small but delivers amazing performance when configured correctly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought this product because I was live streaming oil painting sessions and needed a mic with a good pickup which would allow me to move about. This worked perfectly. In combination with some noise reduction and gating, I managed to get the audio from this to deliver near perfect results. It seems a little pricey for the size of it, but delivers amazing performance. Worth the money.

Terrible audio quality.

Absolutely overhyped and useless, not worth the steep asking price.

Foam cover falls off constantly, audio quality is pretty atrocious. I purchased to use with my Zoom recorder and the audio quality has a notable hiss and distortion. Would not recommend.

Buen sonido de estética periodística.

Reviewed in Spain on May 13, 2017

Verified Purchase

Estaba buscando un primer micrófono de corbata, no excesivamente caro, pero que tuviera calidad. Me ha gustado mucho este micrófono ya que el acabado es bastante profesional. El sonido es fino y recuerda al sonido de los reportajes de TV, con unos graves ligeramente subidos. No capta ningún ruido ambiente. Lo mejor, también, la longitud del cable.

Le pongo dos "peros" En primer lugar la pinza pesa mucho, y en camisas finas o blusas, a veces, el micrófono se viene abajo por el peso de la pinza. En segundo lugar, la espuma que te viene incluida es de mala calidad, y no se ajusta muy bien. Siempre se acaba cayendo al colocar el micrófono.

Aun así, buena compra. Lo recomiendo.

Ich habe schon einige Kondensator- und Lavalier-Mikrofone ausprobiert und kann mit größter Überzeugung sagen, dass dieses hier meine Erwartungen bei weitem Übertroffen hat. Die Aufnahmen sind glasklar und haben (bei richtigen Einstellungen am Aufzeichnungsgerät) keine hörbaren Eigengeräusche. Echt super Mikro und das bei diesem Preis - unglaublich! Die YouTube Rezessionen haben nicht gelogen. Der Kauf lohnt sich 100%ig!
