It's a pretty good mic. I use it for online meetings and classes. I didn't have to use an adapter for it to work with my Dell PC. It didn't work with my Mac and phone. I had to use a 3.5 mm adapter which splits into a mic and headphone.

Used with my Google Pixel XL but needed a breakout cable attached to the headphone jack first. You need a 4-contact headphone/microphone splitter cable to plug in to your phone first, then plug this in to the dedicated microphone jack on the splitter cable. This is probably the case with most phones. Otherwise your phone just thinks you plugged headphones in and you won't hear any sound on your videos at all. Don't forget to unplug the splitter cable from the phone to listen to the recorded video (unless you plug in dedicated headphones to the headphone side of the splitter cable.) See attached image. ALSO be aware that your default camera recording app may not record sound from external devices. My Pixel didn't; I had to use the "Open Camera" app.

I bought this to go with my Olympus voice recorder and it's been a great combo. I needed a mic that could pick up people talking very softly or whispering during a Past Life Regression session. This mic is perfect! I also tried to see if it would work on my iPhone --- it didn't, but I'm confident that I can find an adapter plug.
