Expensive but worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This mic has many benefits. 1) It requires no cords 2) it comes with a windscreen 3) there are many polar patterns such as shotgun or omni directional that you can change with the flick of a button on the back. I wish you could use it without it needing to be connected to the camera but that isnt the case.

Fantastic Microphone for Sony Users
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m really impressed with the Sony ECMB1M microphone. The audio quality is outstanding for such a compact mic. Voices sound clear, natural, and full without any background hiss. It’s perfect for YouTube videos, vlogs, interviews, and classroom recordings. What I love most is the simplicity. It connects directly through the Multi Interface Shoe, so there are no batteries, no cables, and no setup hassles. I also appreciate the different recording modes, especially the omnidirectional option. It picks up sound evenly and makes audio feel more immersive. The build quality feels solid and professional, and it’s incredibly lightweight, so it never gets in the way when shooting. I’ve used it indoors and outdoors, and it performs consistently well. Overall, this is one of the best compact mics for Sony cameras. If you want clean audio without fuss, this is absolutely worth buying.

Outstanding audio straight out from the camera
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I compared *edited* audio recorded directly through this mic and external audio using a Sennheiser MKE600 recorded to a Zoom H6. While the H6 registered lower tones from my voice, to my surprise the Sony was not too far off recording a great range of high/mid/lows. Considering the External Mic was less than a feet away from me and the Sony was about 4-5 feet away, the Sony was just outstanding. It serves my goal to simplify the editing process without sacrificing audio quality. You get what you pay for with this mic.

A must for Sony videographers!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you have a recent Sony camera (A7SIII, FX3, ZV-1, etc) and you make videos you NEED this mic. No wires required, no charging required. It’s super convenient and MORE IMPORTANT the sound quality is amazing!!! Yes it’s very pricey but also very worth it!

Digital Audio is NEXT LEVEL!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I know this microphone is hard to get! I got lucky that Best Buy had 1 in stock when I bought it! But man, if you get your hands on one and you have a newer Sony camera, being able to use “Digital” audio is a game changer! You just can’t clip! The microphone does some kind of magic where it pulls the audio down to -5 and keeps the audio from peaking!

BEST MIC OUT
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best mic on the market if you can find it available somewhere! No brainer purchase if you have a compatible Sony camera. Works flawlessly with my a7siii. The features of changing the direction of the mic and the cordless attachment make this mic a 10/10. Sounds amazing too. GET THIS MIC
