AGPTEK Clip on Microphone, 3.5mm Lavalier Lapel Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone for Android Samsung Sony Huawei Xiaomi Smartphones Mobile Device Computer PC Laptop Mic

Decent sound quality for the price. The clip part is a bit plasticky where it attaches to the mic - not sure how long that will last - and any touch or rub on the clip is transmitted straight to the mic and picked up quite loudly. But for under a tenner I'm happy. Here's where I get technical: The plug is a straight (in-line) TRRS minijack (3.5mm), suitable for smartphones, but it also comes with a short adapter cable (ending, thankfully, in a right-angle TRS) for use with regular minijack mic inputs as found on computers, DSLRs/mirrorless cameras etc - but note that it only provides signal on the left channel if the device is expecting a stereo input. Also comes with a long silver in-line adapter which at first glance seems odd because it is also TRRS - why have an adapter to go from TRRS to TRRS? And why is it so long? After some experimentation, it seems it is an attenuator - it reduces the signal amplitude (rough guess by about 20dB). I presume that's why it's longer than a plain adaptor would be, I guess there's a component or two in there (I don't know enough about electronics to speculate what). Having an attenuator is actually useful because the signal from the mic is quite "hot"; my camera will only trim its input by 12dB and that was not enough to stop it redlining just from normal conversation with it clipped to my chest, so it will come in handy. It's unfortunate, if not entirely unexpected, that it only signals the left channel instead of dividing the signal across both channels when using the TRS adapter with a stereo input - might try a TS adapter to save having to fix that in post. Overall, the sound is good for its price point, and a very cheap way of improving audio quality for either phone or video camera work.

Needed a new mic for my gopro 7 Black , Mic work's well and the sound quality is not bad at all , this is used in my motorbike helmet. Pack contained the L shape adapter needed for it to work on the gopro. Nice long cable. So far no issues.

I purchased this for smartphone video as well as video voice overs. The quality is much better than the inbuilt smartphone and MacBook mics however it's slightly tinny. I think the value for money is excellent. There were no instructions however i found it simple enough to use. -

This has been an odyssey and if you bear with me, we can go through it step by step. I bought this item because I need it for simple video work. At the moment, I'm leading an online scientific group, devoted to my main subject, and this was going to serve instead of my phone's sound system (Sony Xperia, brand new, no damage, otherwise in perfect working condition). As these are more vlogs than even mini documentaries, and because modern phones have VERY good cameras to shoot with (I have used my partner's old phone last year to teach a class that lasted several months, and even that weary little thing put up a really good show and was perfect for the job!), I am happy to use the phone rather than a proper video camera, as I can be spontaneous as fits the subject, shooting everywhere and at any time. You can easily put a selfie stick into your purse together with the phone and a mic, and they can be quite nicely tucked in there and safe from almost everything, plus you won't be carting around more equipment...even the lightest modern camcorders are a bit bulkier than that. But because I shoot at all times, in all possible conditions, I thought I would use a mic to make sure subtitles weren't needed. This was my second choice, and I decided on it because the original one wasn't going to send to me on terrain, and I wasn't going to do a lengthy runaround through friends. It seemed to have good reviews and it was a fairly good price, and as I said, I don't need very expensive studio equipment, just stuff that works. It arrived on time, that is definitely something I can say in its favour. The booklet included, that was supposed to be guidelines as to how to connect and whatnot, was in very VERY funky English (the reverse is in Japanese, I believe, but my knowledge stops at sushi and basic phrases, so it was no use, I get doubtful of even my recognition of the Japanese or Chinese characters... yep, that bad, not at all my strong point, at least at this point in my life!). Still, I'm used to funky, and it really shouldn't be that difficult to plug a mic into a phone, especially as the mic is very basic - no heavy going technology, just plug and play, so to speak. The booklet was very scarce with information, but again, how much magic do you need to plug a mic into a phone? We tried on the day it arrived, and it didn't work. But I have had times before when technology took time to recognise other technology, so we decided to give it another go. That took until today, because we've both been ill AND working at the same time, a fatal combo if you are going to slot anything new into your day. Between the two of us, we have two laptops and two smartphones; both laptops are Asus brand, one phone is Nokia Lumia and the other (mine) is Sony's Xperia. They are all of different age, with Lumia being the oldest but still in brilliant working condition (it's now two years old and our plan replaces it in February...but I think it will remain in perfect working condition long past that!); the computers and my phone are all younger, and all very good. We also know them pretty well by now. We tried this mic on all four devices. There was a magical moment when it seemed to work... only to realise that, even on whispering, the phone and computer mics are ACTUALLY THAT GOOD. We found online troubleshooting for my phone, which led us through step by step - is the mic in? Is the device showing new technology? The mic was definitely in, but nothing was showing. Unfortunately, I think that all our tinkering confirms that this mic is as dead as a door nail. If four different pieces of technology couldn't work with it, and I accept that sometimes, one might get moody and just not accept things, though this has never yet happened with any of these particular computers and smartphones, all four would be pretty high odds. Thankfully, we still have two days left to return this item. We would have done it earlier but given everything, well. I'm actually really sad, because I had been looking forward to this mic and now I have to postpone the particular vids I have worked hard to write the content for, and on top of that, it's such an absolutely darling, cute little mic. But cute or not, I can't use it, and I can only hope that my description of what happened is good enough to help someone who might also have a problem. Technology is tricky stuff; it's sensitive and delicate, and there are always mistakes in the production line no matter how much anyone tries to avoid them. I will assume that this is what happened with mine, since so many people have posted fairly good reviews of theirs. I think I'll try something different though, not take another chance with this brand.

This clip on mic is great for improving sound quality on videos and was extremely affordable for the quality. I like how there are adaptors different phones as well as your computer and the wire is very long so it can reach out from a great distance which is helpful whilst filming. It also comes in a little bag which stops the mic getting damaged and its easy to travel with. Because the mic is small it is very discreet and can be hidden from sight. I have not used it as a mic for filming just yet but I have used it to record voice overs which made the audio sound very clear. The only criticisms I have is that it can pick up background noises so do be careful with that when filming and when I want to listen back to my voice over I have to keep unplugging the wire to listen to it which sometimes moves the mic out of its best place which could change the sound of the audio. Despite that, for the price I definitely recommend this product especially if you are starting out a career or hobby with making videos and films and you are on a low budget.

I tested this microphone against my normal one, and the sound quality took me by surprise. For my own purposes, this little thing is perfect, and I couldn't be happier with the price for what you get

I use voice typing. I can even whisper, and it types every single word so accurately. The microphone is of very good quality. And all parts don't feel cheap solid material

May be value for money, but sound quality is not good, so returned item.

enregistre bien le son. pratique d'utilisation. utilisé en classe pour enregistrer des élèves.

This mic is pretty great for its intended devices; it works well with my phone and laptop, seems to be solidly built and comes with a case. It seems to only work with combined headphone and mic jacks, as it does not appear to function on my desktop PC with separate audio in/out jacks (heads up for anyone who is considering this for their computer). However, it does provide better audio than both my laptop and phone built-in mics.

اشتريت عدة مايكرفونات صغيره مقاربة لهذا ادور شي صغير وجودة جميله للتسجيل، ما وجدت جودة صوت افضل من هذا. جميعا يكون الصوت فيه نوعا ما مكتوم وضعيفة لكن هذا اوضحها، فطلبت واحد ثاني. (ملاحظة: جربت حتى وطلب واحد نسخة طبق الاصل من هذا بكل التفاصيل مع فارق في السعر، لكن كانت الجودة رديئة)

Tengo dos de estos micrófonos. El primero lo compré hace unos 5 años y el segundo hace 2 años, para cuando tengo que hacer entrevistas con más de una persona. En todo este tiempo los he venido usando indistintamente y nunca me han dado ningún problema. Los he usado en un montón de entrevistas, conectándolos al móvil y grabando ahí el sonido, para luego sincronizarlo en el editor de vídeo. El sonido que dan es limpio, claro y de calidad. Es un micro pequeño y discreto. La bolsita en la que vienen es una maravilla, y es más importante de lo que parece, porque probablemente no habrían sobrevivido tan bien todo este tiempo si estuvieran tirados en la mochila de la cámara. Incluye dos adaptadores por si no lo quieres usar en el móvil. Es cierto que grabar con el micro conectado al móvil tiene sus inconvenientes, como no poder controlar el nivel de entrada ni tampoco monitorear el sonido, y sería mejor gastarse 10 o 20 o 30 veces más para grabar en plan profesional. Pero a mí, después de todo este tiempo, estos micros y la solución del móvil como grabadora me han funcionado estupendamente y nunca me han provocado ningún problema. Algunos consejos para evitar problemas al grabar con el micro conectado al móvil: - Activa el modo avión en el móvil. Imprescindible y de sentido común. Yo tengo un móvil antiguo que uso solamente como grabadora, con el modo avión permanentemente. - No puedes controlar el volumen del micro, pero generalmente sí puedes controlar dónde lo colocas. Haz una prueba de grabación y compruébala con los auriculares. Como norma general, si ves que la persona habla muy alto, aléjaselo un poco de la boca, si ves que habla muy bajo, intenta acercarlo - Al no poder monitorear el sonido, si el micro se roza con algo no te vas a enterar, así que asegúrate de colocarlo en un lugar donde no se vaya a rozar con la ropa o con el pelo largo. En definitiva, este micrófono me parece una maravilla, y en 5 años me ha servido de maravilla para un montón de trabajos

Just add a nice equalizer in editing and noise reduction and price-quality impossible to overcome.
