PoP voice 16 Feet Lavalier Microphone for 3.5mm Devices, Android and Camera - Noise Cancelling Lapel Mic TRRS Omni Mic for Phones, TikTok, Video Recording (with a TRS Adapter, 2 Clips and 4 Covers)

This was my third purchase from popVoice... and they sure didn't disappoint!I had a lavaliere mic previously, but it was a lightning-connector one that could only be used with an Apple iOS product. But I really appreciated the convenience of not having to rely on the onboard mics for audio, especially if I know I'll be recording in an area with a lot of ambient noise.This lavaliere mic did NOT disappoint! It works GREAT with my 1st Gen iPad Pro. I did, however, have a slight issue with getting the mic to be recognized by my iMac. But once I realized that PoPVoice provided a solution with one of my other purchases (a USB mic adapter), the mic was up and running. Even better, I'd reached out to the company for guidance, and they answered quickly with the info I'd already figured out!The sound quality is excellent... the cable length is ideal... and the ease of use, as well as providing an adapter for PC computers (a rarity with a lot of companies) means this company really cares about giving you the best quality for the best price.I do a lot of "Self-Tape Auditions" for commercials and online training, so I do a LOT of in-home recording. Having a quality mic that's reliable is critical. I've also used PoPVoice's desktop mic to record VoiceOvers from home... so, again, I can vouch for the quality of their product. I HIGHLY recommend this mic!!!

I've been giving this microphone a go through the perspective of a content creator and indie filmmaker. I've been looking at affordable solutions that could help with one of the most important aspect of content creation, and that's the importance of getting useable audio, especially at the budget end. This mic is a great option for those who are wanting to get into content creation, and need something to add to the quality of their audio.One of the best solutions for capturing quality audio is to record your media using your camera of choice, as well as have an often a dedicated external source capture the very same take just out of camera shot, then synch them in post. This is still one of my favorite methods, however this setup can cost extra money that isn't in a first time filmmaker's budget, and that's where this mic does a great job at coming inbetween.The Pop-Voice lav microphone comes in at 16ft long, and includes an extra clip, a TRS adapter plug (for use with devices that aren't typically your phone, you'll have this attached often),and 4 different colored windscreen caps, in case you are using more than one. The adapter is especially considerate, as I have a couple didn't lav products in my collection, several of which have a TRRS connection like this one, but no adapter to adapt to your other audio devices, which is silly.The build of the lav is surprising sturdy and standardized, much like many of the lavs you may order that can cost double the price of this kit. The included clip is very sturdy, and doesn't feel like it'll fall apart with extended use, or harm you or your talent from rough edges.This mic is a great way to get much closer audio from your camera while the 16ft length gives you plenty to work with in distance to make sure both your shot and audio are ideal. I will be ordering groups of these from now on, and even if I was totally wrong and half of them blow up within 6 months, I still made my investment in them back several times over.

The cord length at 16 feet is more than enough for my use case and plenty in most situations where you would want to use a wired mic. The coloured foam covers are a good ad to be less distracting on speakers. The sound quality is quite good and much better than onboard sound. On pair with a budget shotgun mic. And yes, in this post headphone jack world it does work with dongles. The convenience of being able to use it with your phone is that you can use very in depth recording apps with it. I recommend doing tests with the volume you set it too, I found from time to time it was being a bit too good and collecting unwanted background noise. Easy to tune out in the right app. I would recommend a bunch of these to have on hand for the cheap. Would and will buy again.

Great mic. Works better for me than any mic I have used for my oil painting tutorials.

9/3/20 Update Review: ok, I was able to reduce the buzzing noise by speaking directly into the mic from about 3-4 inches away, and also moving any other potential interference sources such as wires/electronics. If you are recording on apple devices, switch to ACC. Due to my mic being temperamental, I am docking a star from 4 stars. There are definitely better mics out there, but for the price, this is a good budget buy if you can navigate the quirks.8/30 review: I really wanted this mic to work out. I am disappointed that there is a buzzing sound in all various sound recordings, at all ranges, in studio like room.
