This Mic is AMAZING!
I would never have believed that a lav mic in this price range would be any good. Was I evermore wrong! I ordered the TRS version without the locking nut to use with my audio recorders (both TASCAM) and it works amazingly. can also be plugged straight into your camera audio - but if you have a Panasonic DSLR, you'll need to lower your camera's pre-amp gain a food bit as they tend to be on the hot side.Great sound! Very good noise cancellation and very clean in the vocal range. Not overly muffled and rumble-prone like other lower priced mics usually are. Also not overly bright or tinny either. Pretty much right where you want a good lav to be. Highly recommend this product. Don't let the price scare you away! Just DO IT!

Very good sound, fairly small
This microphone has quite good sound for a budget price. The clip works well. The cord is a bit short but is adequate. I prefer this length to other lavalieres with cords in the 10-20 foot range. The foam wind screen has a tendency to come off easily. I solved that problem with a bit of double-sided clear tape around the neck of the mic. It is not the smallest lavaliere available, but those cost a lot more, and this one is still fairly unobtrusive.

Great little mic for clipping to the inside of a motorcycle helmet.
This is a little fella. I have nothing to compare it with, but it seems to do a good job for me inside my motorcycle helmet. The alligator clip that holds the mic fits snugly on the cord but can pull free so be careful. The mic can be rotated on the alligator clip which allows for different positions. The windscreens that come with it are hopelessly baggy. I ordered a pack of 15 other ones that fit much tighter but even those can blow off.

Nice little mic
I have been using another lav mic into my Tascam DR-05 digital recorder, but the connector broke and I found myself in need of a replacement. After doing some research I kept seeing this little mic recommended, so though I would give it a try.I am glad I did.The gain is very good, rejection is decent, and sound quality only needed a little adjustment in my DAW when recording in an untreated room. Nice little mic.

Decent audio for basic recording device
Really good value for money. I have 3 of these in my video bag and use them with zoom and tascam recorders. Oldest one was purchased in 2014 and stil works.

Terrific!
Used at a wedding connected to an Zoom H1 recorder. Sounded crystal clear from under a men's tie, and inside a button up shirt. The wire was long enough to stretch through the shirt, around the waist band and into the back pocket. Couldn't be happier.

A real shame its not compatible with Rode's Wireless Go 😢
This is a no frills, budget omni directional lavalier mic, great for recording dialogue.It compares very favourably to other mics at this price point and considerably beyond tooFirst things first. It' a budget mic, so if you're expecting fancy accessories and superior build quality, you should probably look elsewhere.......However if you can get past the lack of bells and whistles, its a stellar performer sound wise,Sensitivity is higher than typical at this price point, and noise equal or better.I originally bought a few of these which to use with Rodes wireless Go system......Unfortunately like many other lavs, the combination causes a high pitched hum on recordings, so unusable for this purpose. Outside that - they're great for everything else.In terms of durability, time will tell but like anything - treat it with care and I suspect it'll last.

Good mic but ...
Works well with Zoom H1 - as they say in description.You do get proper two track stereo but not sure how important that is with a lapel mic to be honest.Sound quality is good and background noise minimised especially with fur muff over it.I note the cable is much thinner than similar mono microphones I have and suspect if used at all roughly problems may arise.It is helpful to get a 90 degree adapter especially for a zoom in your pocket.It is significantly more expensive than some alternatives but does give noticeably better sound than my cheaper (e.g. £5) ones,Most infrequent users would be fine with something half the price I suspect.

Clean and clear
I wasn't happy with the sound I was getting from my Comica CVM-WM200 system, so I decided to try this mic instead of the ones bundled with the system. It's a big improvement, both in noise floor and clarity of sound. The cable is a little flimsy, but at this price I'll just buy a couple more in case of breakage. I've also bought some better fitting foam covers from Amazon for £5. Overall, very good sound for the money.

Great mic! Great price!
This is a wonderful little lapel mic that I plug in to my a6500. Its not my number one mic source, nor my number two, but it's far better than the on board mic of my sony a6500 which is great for back up and makes syncing much easier.

Failed after 4 days' use
After using with the Zoom H1 on approx 4 shooting days it now makes a horrible distortion noise whenever the the wire is flexed at the connection to the plug.This could have been a result of the angle of the jack on the Zoom H1 which might've strained the joint in a pocket, but even if it was, I feel the mic should survive some flexing for much longer than this.Other than that, the sound quality was fine for the money spent but overall it felt cheap- the foam muffler provided doesn't fit so expect to lose those fast and be aware there was no pouch or case provided.
