    Works to drive PC speakers w/amp

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    When connected to an iPhone, mutes the audio out

    Wanted to use this to have better sound quality when doing FaceTime interviews. Doesn't work, as as soon as it is plugged into the lightning port using the apple headset to lightening adapter, I can't hear the other person. Probably works fine for one way audio if that's what you need.

    If you need a versatile cheap good lapel mic for the price. this is the one I am sure this is very similar or the same as the BOYA

    Broke my camera!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    For some reason this device ended up snapping off the middle connection inside my Mini USB port on my Canon T6 when i used the adaptor. It said it would fit and even best buy employees confirmed it, but it ended up breaking it off. Best Buy refused to fix it and it looks like it was a manufacture error so i will never be supporting insignia again.

    Works great. the cord can be a pain, but it is long. the sound quality was wonderful. Highly recommend if you don't need the length and don't want to spend the money on a wireless system.

    This was sad to see because I got a whole set up.. this mic does not work with the iPhone 11 Pro Max at any extent. You record a video with mic connected and after playing video there is no sound.

    Power Switch Broke within 10-minutes

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The power switch broke within 10-minutes out of the box. Also, once the battery is inserted you're going to need a needle nose pliers to get it out. There is no other way to grip it, and than it's almost impossible without breaking the battery housing. This microphone is poorly built and made-up very cheap. I will be returning this to Best Buy. In my opinion, it's not worth the money.

      Hi Klaatu,

      The feedback that you provided is very much appreciated, I can assure you that this microphone is top of the line. If it is not working then most likely there is an internal issue with your product. I would recommend that you contact us as soon as possible.
