    Excellent Quality, Affordable & Compact

    The sound quality is excellent for such an affordable plug-and-play microphone. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because there is no option to natively adjust the microphone settings such as sensitivity. It only has omnidirectional capture, so it does tend to pick up background noise if you don't use a sound filter from whatever program you might use with this microphone. And sometimes these programs' filtering isn't as streamlined, so it's an experiment each time you want to use the microphone. But overall, this is one of the best lav mics that I've been able to lightly invest in. The sound is crisp, and the discreet design makes clear sound look uninhibited.

    Works alright

    Works good with my phone (s22 ultra). Used for interviews. Captures good sound. Very omnidirectional, which isnt the best. But it works for what its worth.

    Works Well with Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra

    This has been a pretty good item, especially for those wanting to add a microphone to their phone at a good price. I did not have to do anything special to make this work with my Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, which was nice. The only downside is that I tried recording a video while driving and the external noise made it impossible to hear anything on the video.

    A simple but useful mic for USB-C devices

    A simple but useful mic for USB-C devices, I picked this up for my iPad Pro when seated at my desk and doing Skype or GoToMeeting and wanting to grab better audio. This mic won't make you sound like a superstar, but with it correctly positioned you can get it to pick up your voice without issue and reduce the sounds of shuffling paper or typing at your keyboard during a meeting. Very useful to have and works with my Mac as well.

    Good microphone for the money with a caveat

    For some reason, it is tied to audio output as well as input. Devices will detect the microphone, but it will also detect audio output such as a speaker or headphones, which this product does not have. Some devices used with this can switch or split audio input/output, but most mobile devices with USB-C cannot use the native speakers if this microphone is plugged in. The included L-adapter for USB-C also supports up to 100W and 10Gbps passthrough (yet to be tested with higher power or bandwidth).

  • Will the Saramonic - Lavalier Microphone with USB-C w/6.6-foot (2m) Cable &Right-Angle USB-C Adapter (LavMicro U3A) work with a 2-year old HP tower computer for a Zoom presentation?
