Customers praise the Smartmic's sound quality and ease of use, with many noting its portability and compact size. Positive feedback frequently highlights the microphone's ability to minimize background noise and deliver clear audio. However, some users experienced compatibility issues, particularly with certain devices and apps, requiring additional adapters. The small size is a benefit for many, but compatibility should be carefully considered before purchase.

Very pleased, the voice and sound that it picked up, I was happy. I’m going to enjoy attaching it to my recorder and it will enhance my recordings.
It is directional, which helps you pick up the best sound.

This is not a cardioid mic, it is omnidirectional

Best Buy lists this product as "Saramonic - SmartMic Cardioid Condenser Microphone". However, a quick look on the back of the box shows that this is (in fact) an Omnidirectional mic.

Nice mic. Tho advertised for use with iPhones, they don’t tell you that you need an adapter and it’s not included. Does not pick up more than a couple feet away; still better than iPhone mic alone.

Beautiful sound quality for such a small microphone, easy to use on smaller cameras and cell phones if you're into just making videos for social media mainly.

This microphone is mini but mighty! It is super portable and can quickly connect to your phone for a clear, crisp, beautiful audio file! I do voiceovers and other freelance work, and this microphone comes in handy so much! It would surprise those who hired me what kind of affordable and miniature equipment I am utilizing for my tasks lol. Thanks so much! I plan to buy more of these! God bless you all!

It is better than your camera phone mic. You need an adapter to use it with anything other than the 3.5mm jack. Which is almost every single phone now.

I bought this for my DJI Osmo Pocket. After searching online, I thought this was the one I needed, but I actually needed the other one. TRRS is when the plug in has 3 black rings, and TRS is when they have 2 black rings.

This little microphone works as advertised. If you want better sound while recording on your phone this will definitely help. Of course it's not professional sound but a great improvement over the built in phone microphone. You can also add an extension cable so you can record a voice from a distance

We used this to record from our cell phone during the COViD lock in. We needed to record the worship for our church and without access to our normal sound board, this suited us well. We ended up making a windscreen for it since we used it outside, but for the price, a great deal.
