    Most of the time it sounds like a professional mic, but every once in a while it sounds off.

    I purchased this mic for simple videos I am creating using my smartphone. It is simple, easy to use and picks up very well.

    No need to buy any extra accessories, this mic just WORKS. Great value, even better when you have a 2-3 mic setup.

    This microphone I bought for web vlogs to go with the Video camera the salesman sold me doesn't even plug into or connect to the video camera they sold me. There is no way to use this microphone at all. A total waste of my time and money, I will never buy at Best Buy again.

    When doing voice overs on my Mac you have to unplug to hear the audio and hopefully remember to plug it back in once recording. On my 70d it was a complete fail, as it didn't record a drop of sound. Had to return. The cord was super long and would be great if you could get it to work on your camera

    It's ok for general purpose recordings, perhaps in a controlled environment but I found this lav to have a lot of self noise and noticed it is an overpriced version of an otherwise generic design sold all over under various brands. I returned my copy. Sadly, it did not suit my recording needs.

    I use this microphone for making videos on my cell phone and on my Canon Rebel T3. For the low price, the sound is great. It makes a world of a difference when adding this mic over the factory installed ones on my cell and camera. It delivers quality sound.

    Pricey and reasonable build quality. You can trade time and find it or equivalent performance for much less or just invest at your favorite Best Buy. Either way you win. One way you support your friends in blue shirts. Enjoy. Make more recordings.
