    Bought and returned. The mic peaked when my phone doesn’t. I didn’t notice a big difference in sound quality. Slight difference but not worth spending that much. I purchased cause I like to record song covers and I would always get wind noise from my ceiling fan. Like I said didn’t make that big of a difference.

    I plugged it into my iPhone8 and it doesn’t work. It picks up sound, but it’s not compatible with the Camera on the phone. The videos have no sound when played back. I tried it in an iPhone 11 Pro Max and it did the same thing. Very disappointing.

    I purchased this for $80 to get a good audio recording on my phone. I had to be really close to the microphone for it to not pick up other sounds. I ended up buying a $9 microphone and $9 adapter to get the quality audio I wanted from this $80 product.

    We bought this to use for outdoor videos and didn't notice any improvement in the sound quality. I wouldn't recommend this microphone.

    After having it for one year, it totally stopped working... I thought it was because of the update on my iPhone for a while, but after testing, I’ve concluded that this thing just doesn’t work. Do not buy...

    I may have gotten a defective one but this is terrible. It is not better than the on-board mic in an iPhone 12 pro. I was hoping for clearer directional sound, but it either produces a scratchy quality or mutes the volume in an unhelpful way. I am trying to return it.

    Used twice and the lightning plug snapped off. Maaaaaaajor design flaw. I do not recommend for the traveling musician. Most suited for stationary/static applications in my opinion bc now I own a useless mic that is less than 3 months old.

    This stinks. And I missed the window to return. It doesn’t work at all. Don’t buy it. Wish I had gotten a clip-on mic instead. Completely dissatisfied.

    I'm not sure if this was user error, but this product did not work well. My Iphone 11 pro max had better mic audio that this product. Ended up returning it.
