    I felt that the Sound quality was just okay. i didn't feel that the Microphone was very good at picking up /Isolating Sound Directionally. Seems liked the person who was my Reader for my Audition was being picked up Clearer than I was, which the Microphone was pointed at me.

    I liked it because it is portable but I also lost it for the same reason. It’s too small, but that was my fault. The audio quality is okay, not as good as the rode. But it’s good for beginner vloggers.
