As the title says this inexpensive little mic really helped me out with a last minute video interview project. It was the last one in stock, and the only lapel mic at the store. Didn't have much choice which was disappointing and I was hesitant to try the insignia mic. I have had good experiences with insignia tvs but nothing else. So I bought it and first thing I noticed was it came with a go pro adapter which was a nice bonus. I wish it would work with my sony a6000. The 3.5mm jack seemed to be made pretty well. The cable is nice and long, sometimes a bit cumbersome but could come in handy. The mic and clip are standard nothing really stands about either which is fine with me as long as it works well. It does work well, and in fact exceeded my expectations for the price in terms of features, performance, and compatibility. Since my a6000 doesn't have external mic support I used my iPhone for recording audio. I have an iPhone 7 plus and a 6S. I used the voice memo to record audio with this mic and on both devices the audio was very clear and crisp whether or not the lightning to 3.5mm adapter had to be used. Even on very windy days using the foam on the mic made wind noise virtually nonexistent. Way better quality then samples from Bluetooth wireless lapel mics I heard from classmates. Very good value and a must have for any videographers camera bag.

I wanted to get a lapel mic to use with my Galaxy 9 plus. When I was recording videos or vlogs I was getting a lot of room noise/echo and my voice sounded push back in the mix. So I knew I needed a mic. This mic has a very long cord which is great if you're connecting it to a camera on a tripod. Has a power option for cameras that need a powered mic or you can use it unpowered with smart devices. So when using it with my Galaxy 9 plus I will never have to use batteries. When I plugged it into my Galaxy phone, it recognized the mic was connected and started pulling audio from it straight away. I seen a lot of reviews about cheap lapel mics and this one was the best. They were a little bit more then your average cheap lapel mic but the overall sound was way better and the adapters and bag was a nice touch. If you have the money and you want something decent with a few bells and whistles this would be it.

This inexpensive mic has excellent sound quality, works well with cameras and most phones, is dead simple to use, it's unobtrusive and has a very long cord. It's a good choice for selfie videos where it's just you and the camera on a tripod and you're not going to be moving around much. Tip: Be careful where you wear this kind of mic, it can sound a little muffled if there are too many layers of clothes (lapels, scarves, etc.) between it and your lips. The closer to your mouth or throat the better. The long black cord is very helpful, but don't forget you're wearing it and trip over the cord or walk away and pull your camera over. Also it takes a battery (not included) and remember to turn it off or it'll go dead pretty quickly. You can spend more on a lavalier/lapel mic but this one does a great job.

We needed a lapel microphone to use with the kind of powered speakers you normally connect off the back of a PC or laptop so we could have an inexpensive portable PA system for presentations. We connect the microphone through an external preamp and the output of this is used to drive a set of Logitec speakers. The system worked fine as long as the microphone was turned on before speakers, otherwise there was a bad hum. Could be a function of the preamp we used so I'm not taking a star off for it. However, I am deducting one star for its failure to work with either a Moto E or LG V400. In both cases the built in microphone worked better. Tried both with the microphone "on" and "off/smartphone" switch settings.

The product is fine. My problem is with Best Buy & Fed Ex. I paid an extra $9.98 to have it next day (Saturday). I needed it for work Tuesday 8 am. It arrived at FedEx at 5:01 am, loaded onto truck for delivery at 8:00 am. They now claim I can't get it until Tuesday end of day!! We had 4 inches of snow and they are claiming weather problems. But, the FedEx truck stopped at the stop sign at the top of my driveway Saturday at 4:10. Either Best Buy or FedEx needs to reimburse my credit card for the $9.98. I will not purchase from Best Buy again and I will not allow packages to be sent using FedEX. And of course, customer service can't help me.

This mic is very good for making videos. It picks up your voice really well and cuts out unwanted noises such as; dogs who pant loudly and insist on being near you at all times, traffic, nosy neighbors, etc. The cord is super long (20 feet, I think). Handy but, I wish it were a 6 foot cord with an optional extension. I have to coil up the remainder and stuff it into my pocket since my recording device mounts on my belt. Very strong clip.

This is the third mic from Insignia that I bought. They work great with any audio recorder, even your smart phone! It has a great deep rich sound after recording. I use the ZOOM H1 and H5 with it and the audio sounds clean and crisp. Just mess around with the audio volume to get a good VU. It's great to hide under the clothes for interviews and filmmaking as well. You can hide the ZOOM H1 in the pocket. Discreet.

My Blue Yeti (that I had for other reasons) simply picked up too much background noise. This mic does a great job of not picking up too much hum (and my room has a considerably loud ambient noise). A quick suppression in Audition kills all background noise/hum and I have great sounding audio for my videos! Most don't like the long cord, but I love that I can run it around my desk and have it out of the way, and out of camera while recording!
