    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.

    I am audio and a sound engineer and I do a lot of podcasts and shows when I’m not making music and I do use lapel mics a lot this is one that I use when I’m out on the road or when I’m about to do a show and I’m not at my studio and I love the sound quality I love how it feels it does not feel plastic or cheap is well-made and I will be definitely buying more .

    It’s a fragile microphone with decent sound quality but incredibly fragile and broke within the first hour of recording.

    The design of the mic is beneficial for the multitude of garment styles that we wear for easy accessibility and versatility. The sound of the mic was worse than my $10 mic I purchased before it. The sound was low and muffled and changing the hardware used with it did not improve the quality.

    I have spent hundreds of dollars in mics for my youtube channells and this is my favorite one. Is super small and portable. And having stereo recording is a nice plus.
