Perfect for outdoor use fishing

This this sounds great, far better than wireless mics. I was looking for a way to use my gopro fishing in wind and have good audio quality.. AND not be stuck with mono sound. The stereo separation is minimal on this but it is way better than mono audio. The wind muff can take quite a breeze out on the lake. I would buy this over again and wish I had tried it sooner. I have a few other sony mics I love, so I should have tried this sooner.

I have the rode wireless mics as well as this one. Attaching this to my a73 was so simple and with such good quality I really wish I had bought it sooner... With the added benefit of stereo audio!

Works as intended and love the fact of not having to install a battery. Works on input power. Definitely helped improved my audio on my YouTube videos. @TheEveryManTEch

Great recordings until the wire breaks.

The recording quality is very good... but the only complaint is in the quality of the cord/plug. Over the past five or six years I've gone through four of these microphones due to the very weak connection between the plug and the wire.... and between the wire and the microphone. I use the mic throughout my workdays... wearing it 8-10 hours a day, recording my transactions. The recordings are great until the wire becomes frayed at the plug. I've resorted to using JBWeld to reinforce the wire/plug connection so it doesn't break.
The manufacturer should spend a couple of pennies and reinforce the wire/plug connection more.

I'm pretty impressed with this affordable lav mic. Beware it's got a stereo mic jack and it won't plug into a lot of modern devices with USB-C or TRSS 3.5 mm jack. Unless you have a dedicated mic jack, you'll need an adapter. I've had some weird buzzing from time to time intermittently while using a cheapo USB-C adapter, but I'm blaming the adapter at this point. Keep in mind that your recording device will determine recording quality. The standard sound card on my computer is garbage while it records excellent to my phone.

My only gripe is that it isn't TSSR by default (meaning you have to use an adapter to use it with a phone) which is why I knocked it down a star, but other than that it inputs incredibly high quality audio when used correctly! My recommendation would be a type-c to mic and headphone adapter, but a headphone/mic splitter for an aux jack will also work if you have one lying around.

It's a good product, the microphone quality is good. Great for people trying to voice a video with good audio quality. One downside is that this microphone does not have bluetooth. It would make any microphone 10x better.

Great sound quality for the price, only complaint is the windscreen. Because of the long design for the stereo mics, the windscreen pops off and I’ve already lost it. And it seems impossible to find compatible windscreens or deadcats for it. But the good news is there seems to be almost no difference in audio quality, so the windscreen is more decoration that anything really.

Great Mic for the Price!

I really like this mic! It's very sensitive and is great quality for the price. However, the foam windshield can be a bit bothersome as it increases the area of the mic and can rub against your shirt causing excessive sound that can ruin a recording. I find it a lot easier to use it without that piece.

The mic is good. It does create a little bit of sibilance but not too bad. Besides that point, voice was picked up amazingly, and I had to adjust sensitivity to half way. I'm sure it will suitable for most use cases. I used mine for gaming on my ps5 with a splitter and have only received complements on how clear it sounds. A downside of this product is the wire is a bit thin but the quality of it is good. It did cause concern at first but after some accidental tugs, it can be used with confidence. The price was solid but I did buy mines open box with no missing pieces and a good price.

It records sound very well! My only gripe is that it doesn’t work with my iPhone through the dongle, other than that it’s a very reasonable price for a good lavalier mic.

I have been using it for a while now and it has never let me down. It is user-friendly and highly efficient, which makes it perfect for anyone looking for a reliable product. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants to experience the best.

Microphone worked great but do realize it only has a 3ft cord. I was trying to use it as a microphone for my head unit in my car. It obviously wasn’t long enough.

This product was small and easily could attach to my shirt when trying to record. The audio quality of the microphone is also amazing, just as long as you don't keep the microphone too close to your mouth (ie. On your collar), if you do the audio gets a bit bassy. Otherwise great microphone!
