Q: Whenever I plug it into my pic it's not show up

A: 1. This microphone is not compatible with Windows "Plug and Play." I don't think any microphone is detected by a PC when it is plugged into a microphone jack. 2. This particular microphone, being a condenser type, requires DC current that comes through the audio input wires. A PC does not supply that power. This microphone works very well with a digital recorder that supplies the required power. I use it with a Sony ICD-PX740 and the output quality is excellent. In conclusion, this microphone will not work with your PC.

Q: Hi I understand that this will work with PCs but I am a new youtuber and I don't know how this would work. Seems to get good reviews, but do you plug it in to your PC or something?

A: Yes you can

Q: How do I plug this microphone into my pc. I need it for talking in Zoom.

A: The mini connector plug on the end of this is for inserting into a speaker connection. A pc should have a choice (usually on the back) where there is 3 circle connections in a row. One is for headphones or speakers. It may be green. There should be a microphone connection next to it. Should be pink. Depending on your PC there may be more connections. Attaching picture examples.

Q: I just bought an Olympus digital Voice Recorder..Will this help get better audio for recording my voice?

A: Yes absolutely it helps and also many options to place where your voice can be heard better.

Q: Hi, Just wondering if this will work with an xbox one controller with a 3.5 mm port. Thanks

A: Hi Major. Yes, it will work. -Mark

Q: Does this mic come with a stand or do I need to get a separate one?

A: Nevermind, I've just learned this is a clip-on mic.

Q: Does it require a battery?

A: no battery

Q: can I connect this device to my camcorder?

A: Yes. If you camcorder has 3.5mm mic input you can connect it.

Good value, works with some computers
It's a pretty good mic. I use it for online meetings and classes. I didn't have to use an adapter for it to work with my Dell PC. It didn't work with my Mac and phone. I had to use a 3.5 mm adapter which splits into a mic and headphone.

Great Mic! Just prepare yourself!
Used with my Google Pixel XL but needed a breakout cable attached to the headphone jack first. You need a 4-contact headphone/microphone splitter cable to plug in to your phone first, then plug this in to the dedicated microphone jack on the splitter cable. This is probably the case with most phones. Otherwise your phone just thinks you plugged headphones in and you won't hear any sound on your videos at all. Don't forget to unplug the splitter cable from the phone to listen to the recorded video (unless you plug in dedicated headphones to the headphone side of the splitter cable.) See attached image. ALSO be aware that your default camera recording app may not record sound from external devices. My Pixel didn't; I had to use the "Open Camera" app.

Great Mic for the Price!
I bought this to go with my Olympus voice recorder and it's been a great combo. I needed a mic that could pick up people talking very softly or whispering during a Past Life Regression session. This mic is perfect! I also tried to see if it would work on my iPhone --- it didn't, but I'm confident that I can find an adapter plug.
